Night Broken by Patricia Briggs
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
“He had that whole “I was a Marine” thing”
With all the mystical badasses of this world, Mercy stops to compare him to a goddamn Marine bahaha i love it
This series is about the ever clever Mercy Thompson , who isis still trying to outrun her problems…
Mechanic, Shapeshifter, and fighter she finally joined the rest of the paranormal world, lettung the readers meet all sorts of new creatures and magic. And now she beating them all up, one book at a time.
This series has started to develop a formula of Mercy getting into trouble and Adam jumping right after her, refusing to let her be alone anymore… ekkk my heart .
Each new mystery is just another opportunity for the author to build up this urban fantasy book world to be more unique, introduce new interesting characters, and provide a fresh take on .. frankly an overused book selection of shifters
Mercy is definitely more on the more ✨snarky✨ spectrum of humor — Her dry pragmatic attitude as a slap of truth compared to all the fantasy that most of these characters live in
“Mercy?” Adam said.
“We need to get new blankets,” I told him, and he laughed.
“Whatever you want, sweetheart.”
I took a deep breath and realized that I really was awake because it hurt”
Awwww i love battleworn Mercy: she says the funniest shit! Been in a coma for a couple days but finally wakes up because she wants better blankets—-so relatable
The relationship between Mercy and Adam is definitely not a typical “will they, wont they bullshit” that most series go for. They are a strong couple that have their own struggles and problems that they learning how to work through TOGETHER, not some constant tricking information manipulating relationship.
I think I’ve defined the key feature of this book being that Mercy is VULNERABLE. She is not an overpowered person just constantly tricking everyone. Quite frankly she is on the weaker power scale of this magical universe but she keeps fighting and that makes her even better. As a reader, this was so refreshing to read.
Plus its always hilarious when Adam blames her for almost dying because he just pissed she fought without him, hahah I love Adam
“He sounded so sad, so I tried to listen. Maybe I could cheer him up. “And the burns . . . I’m sorry, Adam—”
Mercy wants to help cheer up Adam BECAUSE HE SOUNDS FUCKING SAD jesus christ my own mother would just tell me to stop crying so loudly
Highly recommend if you love shifters, paranormal detectives, and want a developed heorines with flaws and limits that she always trying to push and do her best
