"compelling and fascinating supernatural tale"
Some years ago, the fae were outed by the Grey Lords and
recently the werewolves made themselves known to humans.
It is due to a fantastic public relations job that the
weres did not come under attack by human mobs. Mechanic
Mercy Thompson is a one of a kind (as far as she knows)
supernatural entity, a Walker who turns into a coyote at
will, has a strong sense of smell, and is able to run very
fast. Stefan the Vampire asks Mercy to go with him in her coyote
personae to witness what happens when he visits what turns
out to be a demon vampire Corey Littleton. After the
encounter, Stefan believes the messily killed humans,
calling attention to vampires who are still in the
closet. Mercy remembers that it was Corey who made the
mess and through vampire magic her words are accepted as
truth. Corey goes on a rampage killing indiscriminately;
the werewolves become involved when one of their own is
hurt. However, the vampire mistress believes the Walker
is the one who can find and kill the demon vampire
sorcerer and when he hurts her friend she sets out to do
that. BLOOD BOUND is a compelling and fascinating supernatural
tale that fans of Laurel K. Hamilton and Charlaine Harris
will thoroughly enjoy. Patricia Briggs is a powerful
storyteller who convinces readers her earth inhabited by
supernatural creatures actually exists. Compelling and
multidimensional characters that the audience cares about
will lead to readers seeking the previous tale MOON CALLED. Harriet Klausner

SummaryMechanic 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.
