A Mercy Thompson Novel Book 13: Soul Taken by Patricia Briggs

Mercy Thompson Book 13

Mercy Thompson, car mechanic and shapeshifter, must face her greatest fears in this chilling entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.

The vampire Wulfe is missing. Since he’s deadly, possibly insane, and his current idea of “fun” is stalking me, some may see it as no great loss. But, warned that his disappearance might bring down the carefully constructed alliances that keep our pack safe, my mate and I must find Wulfe—and hope he’s still alive. As alive as a vampire can be, anyway.

But Wulfe isn’t the only one who has disappeared. And now there are bodies, too. Has the Harvester returned to the Tri-Cities, reaping souls with his cursed sickle? Or is he just a character from a B horror movie and our enemy is someone else?

The farther I follow Wulfe’s trail, the more twisted—and darker—the path becomes. I need to figure out what’s going on before the next body on the ground is mine.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

It's so nice to be back in the Mercy Thompson world! I will say that having only read each book in the series once and we are now on book 13, rereading at some point may be a good idea. There are bits here and there I can't remember full details on but it never takes me long to remember the important bits of this world whenever I start a new book. Mercy and Adam face yet another enemy. One straight out of a horror film. When one of the vampires, Wulfe, goes missing, they are tasked to find him or face the consequences of showing everyone they swore to protect that they aren't doing their jobs. Meanwhile, someone or something is out there killing people with a cursed sickle. As they dig deep into both cases they begin to realize that perhaps the two are connected. The best part of these books are always the characters and the new magical threat that comes along. Mercy and Adam are always a delight. The first chapter opens up with a scene of Mercy getting hit in the face with a pumpkin and knocking her out for a bit. And if you know Mercy that will not surprise you at all. The humor was spot on to what is one of the best parts of this series. Another great addition to this story and as always I'm looking forward to the next one.
