Smoke Bitten

A Mercy Thompson Novel, Book 12

De: Patricia Briggs

Narrado por: Lorelei King

Mercy Thompson, car mechanic and shapeshifter, faces a threat unlike any other in this thrilling entry in the number one New York Times best-selling series.

I am Mercedes Athena Thompson Hauptman.
My only “superpowers” are that I turn into a 35 pound coyote and fix Volkswagens. But I have friends in odd places and a pack of werewolves at my back. It looks like I'm going to need them.

Centuries ago, the fae dwelt in Underhill - until she locked her doors against them. They left behind their great castles and troves of magical artifacts. They abandoned their prisoners and their pets. Without the fae to mind them, those creatures who remained behind roamed freely through Underhill wreaking havoc. Only the deadliest survived.

Now one of those prisoners has escaped. It can look like anyone, any creature it chooses. But if it bites you, it controls you. It lives for chaos and destruction. It can make you do anything - even kill the person you love the most. Now it is here, in the Tri-Cities. In my territory.

It won't, can't, remain.

Not if I have anything to say about it.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“The world-building is incredibly lush....A fantastic urban fantasy adventure....A wonderful world to lose oneself in as a reader.” (Fresh Fiction)

“Briggs' careful and layered building of both her world and her characters is an iron-clad guarantee of an outstanding read! Fans will love this one!” (RT Book Reviews)

"Yet again, we see why Patricia Briggs is a master storyteller.” (Literary Escapism)

WORTH THE WAIT!!!

I don’t know why this one was one of my most expected books of the year. It was a “I CANNOT WAIT FOR IT TO COME OUT” book! I was also afraid that my high expectations would make this book feel not as good as it should because this has happened to me before - with books, movies, and other things.

Well, I shouldn’t have worried. The book was awesome. And it met my high expectations wonderfully!

As I don’t want to leave spoilers I can only said that Mercy did what she does best! And to not miss this installment of the Mercyverse! It was worth the wait!

Recommended audiobook!

wow!!! again, perfectly written, perfectly performed and just plain fun!!! and a bit scary and a bit sad but totally wonderful!!! thank you for another great read!!!

Just now as good as the others

I feel like this book brought a lot of new concepts, but it didn't really resolve any of them. I find myself lacking a feeling of closure, and it doesn't provide the satisfaction I was hoping after waiting for this book to be released.

Not her usual thriller

Of course, I loved it! The climax was very anti-climatic. I feel like her next book might be more thrilling though. Of course I still love the voice actress. Thank you!

Awesome

You have to read this book it is great but first you should read all of Patrica Briggs Mercy Thompson books you will love them
I have read every single one of them over alot. Her books are Awesome

Great story and wonderful characters—2nd time I have read it!

wonderful characters—this is the 2nd time I have read the book. actually read the book at first and now I have listened to it. The person reading it brings it to life.

An incredible story in an great series

This entry in the Mercyverse is my favorite so far.

The story is very well thought out and the performance by Lorelei King is spectacular as is usual.

The psychological aspects, the political machinations, and the coherence of the plot are all top notch, in my humble opinion.

Patricia and Lorelei continue to spoil us fans <3

Another awesome book in the Mercyverse!

I love this series and this book did not disappoint! It's full of mystery and intrigue and some struggles with the main characters relationship. There were plenty of ups and downs and I never lost interest.

This is my favorite narrator ever! She's amazing and does another awesome job. Her voices are recognizable for each different character and her delivery is spot on!

I'd suggest reading the rest of the series before this one.

Just Another Day in the Life of Mercy

Loved this book. Adam is battling a curse, Mercy and the Pack are battling a fae creature and Rogue Wolves. Just another day in the life of Mercy Thompson. Lorelei King will capture your interest in her telling of this book

I don't know how Patricia Briggs does it, but each book is better than the last one!! I really loved this one, so many twists and turns. I wanted to clap at the ending. Thanks for a great book, Ms. Briggs,. Thanks for the way you read it Lorelei!
