Frost Burned

Narrator Lorelei King returns with this seventh book in the Mercy Thompson series, which finds the shape-shifting coyote wondering what has happened to her mate, the alpha werewolf of the Twin Cities. King is at ease with the panoply of characters from past adventures, plus some new additions. Her depiction of the wisecracking Mercy captures the essence of this series. King makes Mercy seem believable--not only as the fearless protector of family and friends against supernatural and human enemies, but also in her day-to-day activities as a VW mechanic. The book stands on its own but will be much more fun with background on the characters from the earlier books in the series. J.E.M. (c) AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine
