3.5 starsMercy is a mechanic and a “walker” - a coyote shapeshifter. She was raised by werewolves. When a fairly new, packless werewolf (Mac) shows up looking for a job, she helps him out. When she learns more about him, she introduces him to the local Alpha pack leader, Adam, so hopefully Mac can learn more about being a werewolf and can learn to control himself. Unfortunately, things take a turn for the worse...I liked it, but I'm not sure it was enough to convince me to pick up the 2nd book in the series. There was a lot of politics in the book, as well – werewolves, vampires, witches, fae and Mercy and how does she fit in (or not). I've already had a comment that the rest of the series is better, so I will give book 2 a chance and see what I think from there. A garden variety urban fantasy paranormal romance with a few good scenes, but generally forgettable. Some of the characters are good (Mercy, the protagonist, a sensible strong female lead), some are better (a few men, werewolves and vampires, who are not love interests), but most are pretty bland. The suspense and action take an up-turn in the third act, which moves swiftly and satisfying to the end.Mercy is a tattooed car mechanic who has grown up with werewolves, but has never quite fit into the pack because her power consists of shifting into a coyote. Her neighbor, the local Alpha pack leader, and his daughter are kidnapped, and Mercy can't help but look into the mystery. The love interests are two-fold, an old flame and a new one, but after all the action, one kiss finishes off the novel.Fun formulaic fluff that doesn't elicit strong emotions either way for me. I'm in no hurry to pick up another in this series but wouldn't refuse one on sale.
