Blood Bound (Mercy Thompson, Book 2)
“Kick-ass were-coyote auto mechanic Mercedes Thompson” (Publishers Weekly) has leapt to the forefront of today’s urban fantasy heroes, thanks to bestselling author Patricia Briggs. Now, Mercy finds herself in the middle of a bloodbath—with only one way out...
Mercy 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.
When the undead and the werewolves sent to find him don’t return, the local vampire queen turns to Mercy for help. A coyote is no match for a demon, but Mercy is determined to get her friends back—including the two werewolves circling around her heart.

This one was much better than the first. And I can see where people fall into this series. All kinds of nonsense going on with my girl Mercy. Canât wait for the third.
I was slightly frustrated when I read this book, but the plot is good, so is the world-building and development. I would have liked it more if it's a little faster, to be sure â a little easier, in a sense, to defeat the dark forces. I hated it that the demonic vampire is so powerful that it's so difficult to get him killed. It tore me apart to read how the characters I've come to like so much was at the brink of death. This book iss a little more horrifying because of that vampire, what he is capable of, and the many, many ghosts. It's interesting to see that we've come to learn more about Mercy's walker abilities.
To be honest, the second one was a little hard to follow maybe because it introduced the realm of vampires. But nevertheless I love mercy and the fearless attitude. But I am team Adam.
Much better than the first novel, which I liked. As with most novels in a series, the start can be a bit shaky as both author and reader learn the characters and the rules of the world. I like Mercy quite a bit. And this plot was much more interesting without trying quite so hard.
