Another amazing entry in my favorite urban fantasy series. I'm trying to think about why I enjoy the Mercy stories so much, and I think that along with the exotic monsters from a variety of cultures, it is because the characters are realistic while doing fantastic things. Mercy is tough and strong and vulnerable. Adam is loyal and fierce and dresses to minimize his good looks. The "broken" characters have key roles that show their strengths. Along with action scenes, Briggs writes about a community that can handle internal conflict well and shows how their connections work for the best of all.
