Review: River Marked (Mercy Thompson, #6) by Patricia Briggs

River Marked by Patricia Briggs
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I discovered this series when I read this book and that was it!!! I knew I was going to love reading Mercy Thompson’s adventures!!! And I do love this series!!! I am totally addicted!!

River Marked is the 6th book in the series and it’s quite different to the previous novels as it’s mostly set away from Mercy’s home and a whole new set of characters are introduced, which gives us more information about Mercy’s heritage.

Mercy & Adam are now married and mated and set off on their honeymoon to a secluded camp in the Columbia River area.

, looking forward to spending quiet and relaxing time together….but as we know, something is going to happen where Mercy is around…

There’s something in the river that is killing people and Mercy has some connection to the monster, named River Devil.

Between trying to discover the reason for the killings, she encounters a Native American tribe that knows something about her earlier life. She’s told the identity of her father…..a coyote walker who sees ghosts….

This is a fantastic adventure, filled with new revelations about Mercy and also something new about shape shifters..

I loved the chemistry between Mercy and Adam….

. They have a deep and strong connection –and let’s not speak about possessiveness….

I adore these two together…they suit each other perfectly!!!!!

I did enjoy learning about the Native American history, their myths and their customs…it was an added pleasure and hopefully we will see more of them in the next books.

Another well-written story with a great plot and fantastic addition of characters to this amazing fantasy world.

My favorite quote:

“All life is rife with possibilities. Seeds have possibilities, but all their tomorrows are caught by the patterning of their life cycle. Animals have possibilities that are greater than that of a fir tree or a blade of grass. Still, though, for most animals, the pattern of instinct, the patterns of their lives, are very strong. Humanity has a far greater range of possibilities, especially the very young. Who will children grow up to be? Who will they marry, what will they believe, what will they create? Creation is a very powerful seed of possibility.”
