Moon Called (Mercy Thompson, #1)

I have been finding it hard to sit down and write a review for this book. I gave it 4 stars, so I did like it, so that can’t be a problem. I think it’s because I read it while on vacation and my brain was not in review mode.
I really enjoyed this book. I liked Mercy. I liked that she was not a werewolf, but instead a skin walker that shifts into a coyote. Mercy is the only one of her kind and this seems to give her a special status with the werewolves.
The werewolf lore and the pack politics were very interesting. The author’s descriptions of werewolves changing and their behavior during a change were fascinating. There is a scene where Mercy is with a new, young werewolf during one of his first changes and there is a moment where you think that she might be dinner, instead of a supportive friend.
The characters were colorful and entertaining. I have a soft spot for Stefan, the Scooby Doo loving vampire. Not only did he have a van painted to look like the Mystery Machine, but his answering machine also played the Scooby Doo theme song.
I am looking forward to reading the rest of this series.

"His eyes lit up for a minute. "Mercedes the Volkswagen mechanic?" His face closed down quickly and he mumbled. "Sorry. Bet you've heard that a lot.""

"Stefan's bus was painted to match the Mystery Machine, which said a lot about the vampire it belonged to. Stefan told me that he'd briefly considered painting it black a few years ago when he started watching Buffy, but, in the end, he'd decided the vampire slayer was no match for Scooby Doo."

""Mercedes...Mercy." He looked away from me, staring down the slope of the mountain as if the meadows below held some secret he was looking for. "I'm as unsettled as a new pup. You eat my control.""

""A werewolf. You know. The moon-called, run-on-four-feet-with-big-fangs kind of werewolf.""

"Vampire politics, I thought. Humans, werewolves, or apparently, vampires, it doesn't matter; get more than three of them together and the jockeying for power begins."

""No demons," I shrugged. "It doesn't take a demon to kill an untrained, newbie werewolf that was too stupid to live.""

So far I like it....might be a while before I review...Going somewhere with spotty internet.
Ah, well, hope it is somewhere fun! :)
Off to visit the parents and do some sight seeing. My dad doesn't like it when people touch his computer. Data plans for cell phones are expensive in Canada. So I'll be quiet for a while.
Have fun! We'll miss you!
I have a very soft spot for Stefan. Especially as we learn more about him.
Agreed, I really like Stefan a lot.
I have a soft spot for any character that likes Scooby Doo. I have fond memories of Saturday morning watching that show.
Me too!"And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for those darn kids!" >.<
Until the unfortunate addition of Scrappy, Scooby Doo ruled.
I didn't get Scrappy Doo, but he did become an evil character in those Freddie Prinze Scooby Doo movies. I never got Scooby Dum. Why mess with a good thing?
I agree. They should have nipped that in the bud. Those characters ruined a good thing.
I just put in my request at my library. Did you just go squee? LOLZ!
Squee! I like how Briggs does werewolves.
Great review AH!!! I loved the Scooby Doo reference too since I'm a huge fan of Scooby Doo!!
Thanks, Ronyell. Scooby Doo is just one of my favorite cartoon characters ever!
