Book Reviews of Blood Bound (Mercy Thompson, Book 2)
Book Review: An excellent addition to the first book in the series!
Summary: 4 Stars
**Spoiler Alert!** If you plan on reading the book, do not continue reading this review. ... Okay, but don't say I didn't warn you.
The second book in the series, we begin not too far where the first one left off.
Stefan, a vampire, calls Mercy for help. A vampire has come to the city but not has not asked Master vampire, Marsilia, for hunting rights. That is vampire law. But Stefan also believes that this is the vampire that hurt his friend Daniel, and he wants to make the vampire pay. But he wants Mercy's help - in her coyote form. The vampire won't see more than that, and if Stefan's right, he's going to need a human witness. Reluctantly, being the wee hours of the morning, she agrees, and changes form when he picks her up.
Trouble quickly escalates. This new vampire, Littleton, isn't just a vampire. He's also a sorcerer. This was known to be forbidden, to turn a sorcerer. Whoever turned him has lost control of him, and now they need to discover who.
Marsilia sends Stefan to hunt down this vampire. Stefan wants Daniel at his side, even though he's in bad shape. Adam sends Warren and Ben with Stefan to help, and as back up. But then they all go missing. Warren turns up beaten and near death. Mercy has seen the ghost of Daniel and knows that bad is getting close to worse. Worse comes when Adam and Samuel both go missing after they set out to find Ben and Stefan. And the strange thing happens: Marsilia asks Mercy for her help. Together, with Marsilia's second, Andre, they set off to find the missing and make sure Littleton's dead. However it was unsaid, Marsilia wants Littleton alive. Mercy's determined to make sure he's dead.
Oh, I loved this one almost as much as the first! What I hadn't realized in the first book, was that Mercy is a Shifter, not a were and because she is a Shifter, vampire wiles don't work as well on her. Plus, she can see and talk to ghosts. I hadn't realized that Mrs. Hanna was a ghost in the first novel. Oh, but I got it this time, when she saw Daniel's shaking form and no one else did.
I was sort of surprised by who had turned the sorcerer, and sort of not. If I'd known about how jealous this vamp was of Stefan, I'd have caught on earlier. (And while my reviews are usually littered with spoilers, I'm not saying who!) What I truly took to heart and completely understood, was the final chapters and what Mercy felt and her actions. I completely understood and agreed why she went after the vamp. She did what she had to do, what she thought was right, regardless of whatever trouble she could get into. And for another vamp to tell her that he could do the same, gave me chills. Will he keep his word and not tell Marsilia? Will he keep his word and not turn a sorcerer? Only time will tell - but I get the chills every time I think about it.
Again, Mercy's integrity plays a roll, and I adore her for it.
Samuel has been having a tough time. He's admitted to something in his past, while he was in Texas, and I can understand why his current state of mind is close to destroying him. Still, I don't trust him. I don't trust that he truly wants Mercy for her, and not for the fact that she's a Shifter and could very possibly carry their children to term.
The attaction between Mercy and Adam still simmers just below the surface, and I quiver every time. There's a scene where they are sparing, and just when I think this is it, Jessie, Adam's daughter, interrupts. Dang it!
Summary of Blood Bound (Mercy Thompson, Book 2)
Mechanic Mercy Thompson has friends in low places-and in dark ones. And now she owes one of them a favor. Since she can shapeshift at will, she agrees to act as some extra muscle when her vampire friend Stefan goes to deliver a message to another of his kind.
But this new vampire is hardly ordinary-and neither is the demon inside of him.
