Query: My own backyard

I loved all of the Mercy Thompson series. I was more drawn to this book because the author is from the Tri-cities and so am I. Usually books take place in a more familiar place, Spokane or Seattle. I was able to imagine and be more with the story as I read anxiously. I enjoyed the mixture of vampires, wolves, and everything in between.There are many lovable characters, as well as the opposite. Patricia Briggs was able to use humor, emotions, and intensity through out the book when needed. She is not afraid to be brutally honest in her books and that is what I respect. Well done.
