![]() ![]() Anyhow, this is the least of the problems, it seems that Underhill has casually installed herself a doorway into Mercy’s backyard, releasing ‘something’ in the process. Mercy is in bother with both Adam and the pack – unjustifiably so as it happens, and concerning issues with Adam’s ex-wife, (I cannot even bring myself to utter her name because I am a bit sick and tired of her and the emotional trauma/blackmail she inflicts on everyone). ![]() So, we kick off straight away with tension. Usual disclaimer – if you haven’t read any of the previous books then this review may very well contain spoilers for earlier editions, although I do try to avoid spoilers as a rule it’s more difficult given the nature of a series especially one with a lot of ongoing problems. Smoke Bitten pulls out quite a few stops to ramp up the tension and stir up unease and also to shake readers out of their comfort zone. I admit I had a slight blip with No.11, well, that is, I didn’t love it as much as some of the other instalments and it had a little bit of a bridging feel to it – but that’s inevitable in some ways with a series this long – or at least that’s what I thought until I picked up No.12. ![]() ![]() Mercy Thompson, let me count the ways in which I love you! Seriously, this series is so good. ![]()
