In other words, Adam became even more perfect as Mercy’s new mate than he was before her big decision and I personally think she made the right choice.

This was also reflected in the way that Adam reacted to Mercy and her mental scars, he gradually helped her to realise it’s OK to have panic attacks and that he didn’t want to make anything worse by moving too fast or too slow with her. Briggs didn’t make her into a complete basket-case, nor did she force her recovery too quickly, she just accepted that Mercy was going to be a bit broken for a while, just as a normal person would. I really enjoyed the way that Briggs allowed Mercy to recover from her mental and physical injuries following her run in with Tim. I’ll leave you to figure this out, we don’t want too many spoilers. This means Marsilia is after Mercy’s blood…literally and she will kill anyone in her way including one of her own council. This time, Mercy is in trouble (as always) because Marsilia, the queen of the local vampire group or seethe as they’re called in this series, has discovered that Mercy killed not one but two of her vampires during a previous adventure. In fact it even started with the exact same wording for a few paragraphs so there is no lost time between these two books. This book starts in the exact place the previous one left off. Given that I’m reviewing a book that’s pretty far into a series, I would suggest that there are going to be spoilers for those people who haven’t read the previous three novels. ‘Bone Crossed’ is book four in the ‘Mercy Thompson’ series of books by Patricia Briggs.
