Mercy Thompson Series (Moon Called)

So a while ago and when I say awhile I mean.... like 7 months ago, a friend of mine gave me a great series of books to read and I have been meaning to post about it for a long time.

So here is a review of the book Moon Called by Patricia Briggs. This is the first book in the Mercy Thompson Series. ( The Alpha and Omega Series not only correlates but is in the same time frame) I plan to write a review on those books too. :)

In this first book you meet a bunch of new characters and it is kinda hard to keep them all straight at first.

So here is a break down.

Mercy Thompson is a VW mechanic, a smartass, and can turn into a Coyote. Which can be a blessing and a curse.

Adam is the powerful Alpha who is also her next door neighbor and a royal pain in her behind.

No worries she knows how to keep him in line... I wont tell you how though, some things have to be discovered. ;)                                                                                                                                                                               Get yours here

One day while she is working on yet another VW, a young guy (and newly made werewolf) wanders into her shop and asks for work. After working there for a while a few guys come to take him back and they attack the Alpha's house and the werewolves who live there. Adam who is badly hurt is taken by Mercy to her foster father Bran (leader of all North American werewolves). With all of this there is also the attention of the local Vampire Seethe and the Fae who have come out to the humans all to contend with also. Mercy has her plate full and there is never a dull moment in her life.

I give this book 5 out of 5 Cups of Joe, As Patricia Briggs does a wonderful job of taking the reader on a never ending journey into the life of Mercy Thompson. Honestly even if werewolves are not your thing, you will enjoy the story and all of the characters.

Into the Fae by Quinn Loftis

This story starts out right where the 7th book left off... If you haven't read the series please visit the post called PRINCE OF WOLVES...That is the only warning you are getting.

Peri, who is a highborn Fae the protector of all the magical realms and part of the Fae council in the last book she went up against her sister Laurell who was also part of the Fae council with a dark past.

Laural thinks that she is dead and is in for a big surprise when she finds out that she is not. Sadly this relationship doesnt change.  When Peri finds out that she is Mated to Lucian who is an Alpha Werewolf, who was lost in the Dark Forest for over a century. She fights to keep him at arms length but realizes that he is a good guy and that she can like him for him.
The great thing about Lucian is he is a mixture of all the other male characters from the series. He is strong and silent, can make Perri (and me) laugh, wont back down and also is just as damn sexy as they come. --IF you cant tell I really like the characters in this book.


The way that Lucian comes across as a man who has demons and still has a kind and gentle heart,is truthfully amazing to me. Quinn uses he gifts as a writer to remind women what its all about...partnership. Lucian and Peri have their own problems, but if you notice they do complete each other.

As in Quinn's other series the characters are traveling, but this time she is introducing new characters as part of her newest series. (Gypsy Healers).
Which I can't wait to read!

I took a long time in writing this review...sry to Quinn and my readers. I was moving!

But even while moving Into the Fae kept playing through my head. This book I would have to say is Quinn's Best. Although I have not read, Luna Mine yet. 

I (of course) give Into the Fae! 5 out of 5 Cups of Joe...I pesonally read this book in 6 hours total, and enjoyed every minute of it!!

Wonderful read! Get you copy from Amazon or by going straight to Quinn's website

Out of the Dark (Grey Wolves Series #4) By Quinn Loftis

Out Of The Dark starts out with all Four of the Grey Wolves Packs joined together at the Gathering. This has now come to an abrupt stop as one of their own has decided to Attack the Romanian Pack... and as we know they don't take to kindly to that! Since this Alphas plan to kill off Vasile didn't work out, he decides to Attack Jen and Decebel! First off... How dare he! And second, What??? are you crazy... Dec with rip your head off for just looking at her the wrong way?? 

Unknown to the Romanian Pack the Alpha that attacked them has employed a Witch to do his bidding and she has created a Curse for Decebel that will potentially destroy his already fragile bond with Jen. 

Mean while Jen is fighting for her life and the love of her life, as she finally starts to accept that she will never feel him again. Help comes along in a very unexpected way (and once again we are introduced to a few skeletons and new characters).

Vasile who is very much alive and very angry decides to call upon all of his resources. Which includes Sally, the Gypsy Healer, to find a way to help Dec and in turn help Jen. While also inadvertently solving a mystery that has been around for over 300 years...

This story has all of the makings of a Turkey Dinner with all the Trimmings! I couldn't put it down and even was late for work cause I didn't want to stop reading. As with all of her writing +Quinn Loftis makes this world come to life and creates even more characters that are as relatable as a best friend and as smoking hot as a Sexy Werewolf Furball.

I have to give this book 5 out of 5 Cups of Joe as she once again completely wrapped me up in a story that I couldn't get enough of.

Just One Drop (Grey Wolves Series #3) By Quinn Loftis

 Just one drop focuses on Jennifer Adams (Jen) and Decibel the Beta to Vasile of the Romanian wolf-pack. She is the best friend to Jacque who we met in the first book and she has just found out that she is a dormant. Meaning that she has Werewolf blood in her but only a drop. That one drop though means a lot when it comes to the sexy Decibel who is just barely maintaining control of his wolf when he has to deal with Jennifer. Her wacky nympho attitude is no where near to what anyone is prepared for and with her smart-ass mouth you just cant get enough.

This book though it takes us from the world of Jacque and Fane, transitions easily to the relations of another couple and still keeps us knowing about the dynamics of the relationship that we have already witnessed. Even though they are still ever present in this one. It shows the crazy wild side of Jen and how much its fun to aggravate the Mates in the werewolf world.

The twist in this book is that not only do they have to deal with the normal emotions of not knowing if Jen and Decibel can be allowed to be together for the Lack of mating signs but how are they going to deal with the other males at The Gathering. The Gathering has not taken place in a few centuries and its only now taking place because of the shortage of females in the species.

This book keeps your emotions running high as you vote for Jen and Dec, But also keeps you thinking what the hell... why is this so complicated...are they really not meant for each other?

I love the thoughts that this book provokes and am really trying to not give anything away...since I had to go read the 4th one in the series right at the end of this one. I do though have to give this book only 4 out of 5 Cups of Joe cause there were some Massive typos that should have been caught and at one point towards the end I noticed the mistakes with the names of the characters and who they were speaking with though the Bond.

Also I just found out that this book is available as an audiobook and so are the Others.

Blood Rites (Grey Wolves Series #2 ) By Quinn Loftis

Disclaimers First... if you did not read the first book, but think that you would want to, then I STRONGLY suggest that you stop reading this right now!!!! Do yourself a favor and scroll on to find Prince of the wolves.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Dont read any further!!!! If you didn't read the first one!!!!
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\


Seriously... I mean what I said at the beginning. :-)

Blood rites was absolutely amazing!!! It picks up right where the last book left off, seriously like just turning the page. (My favorite way of going into another book. Thank you Mrs. Loftis) So here we go. Fane is with his family and Jacque is with hers... two separate areas by the way, and its mere hours away from the Blood Rites Ceremony. When, of course something has to happen, I am not going to tell you how or what...but I will say that in this book. We meet a few new characters like Jacques Father, and his pack. Decibel and Jen also play a huge role and also we get to look at another pack and how they deal with things. The dynamics of the pack are really interesting and I love the way that Mrs. Loftis describes the baring of the neck when someone is being submissive. It really feels like you are looking in from another pack members eyes.

This book was so good I literaly could not put my phone down for even a moment. I was so sucked in that when my own mother called me I hardly even registered it. Mrs Loftis is a storytelling genius!!! I have been reading for about 20 years and have only come across 3 authors that have sucked me in the way that she has.

I give this book 5 out of 5 cups of joe. Because of the writing, the wordage is just phenomenal and the characters are so realistic, I sometimes feel as though if I look up from the book then I would see them in my own living room. Until then you might want to get some food and take a potty break cause if you start reading your not going to want to move. Chomp. Chomp! :-)

Prince of Wolves (Grey Wolves Series,Book Number 1) By Quinn Loftis

This book starts with a girl getting ready to go into her senior year, (Like thats not hard enough!) when a "hottie" Romanian student moves in next store. 

Fane is a Romanian Exchange student who is just trying to experience american life for his senior year. Little does he know that the girl with the mesmerizing Green eyes, that are staring at him through the blinds, is going to help turn his life inside out. 

Jacque is on a covert mission, she promises her friends Jen and Sally that she will find out about the transfer student who is arriving that night. So going all "James Bond", she decides to peek out her window as he pulls up. Not expecting to see such a "hottie", she stares and meets a gorgeous set of Blue eyes.

This meeting at such a distance changes both of their summers and the upcoming senior year in ways that neither could ever imagine.

Quinn Loftis does a wonderful job of bringing you into their world and allowing you to see through their eyes. The first part is a little fast pace, but it keeps up the momentum and you never want to put it down. I have to say that I read this book in about 5 hours, I really could not turn off my phone, and I got annoyed every time some one called me cause I couldn't finish reading.

I have to give this book a 5 out of 5 stars cause its fantastic. the writing is phenomenal, the descriptions are not to over the top but they really do make the characters seem beyond real. Once you read this book you are not going to be able to stop. - I actually bought the second book because I just couldn't help it, and I cant wait to get my hands on the third!!!.
