Like Mercy, Adam retains his position as one of the best book boyfriends ever who strives to listen to Mercy and reigns his desire to be overly protective of her. I was really pleased how she proved to the pack that she is a leader, not a leader by default, by being assertive and making quick yet important decisions. In Fire Touched we get to see her vulnerability, particularly her ability to reach out and ask for help, without being a damsel in distress.
She is fiercely independent, resilient, brave, and recklessly loyal. Mercy once again proves why millions of readers are her ardent fans. The relationship between Mercy and Adam is a perfect balance of both of their strengths and weaknesses. In a very alpha-like move, Adam sets an ultimatum for his pack in regards to Mercy much to her ire, but I felt the move was very much necessary in order to move the pack beyond the pettiness that we saw in Night Broken. The pack is still divided in accepting her as their alpha's mate. Mercy's announcement has strong repercussions for her pack too. I thoroughly enjoyed watching both competing species play their game and move their pieces after much consideration. As the fae and werewolves fight for dominance (in the case of the fae) and protection of humankind (werewolves), we finally get a better understanding of the various motives of the fae and their desires. With this powerful declaration, Mercy has inevitably shifted the politics of her world. Mercy stands tall with her unpredictable walking stick, claims the Tri-Cities to be the pack's territory, and gives the boy asylum as long he agrees not to hurt anyone in the pack for 24 hours. After all of the debris settles, a young boy who is fire touched and has been a captive of the fae for many years appears and seeks sanctuary. The battle scene made me nervous watching favorite characters get injured. The book begins with a heart-pounding, epic battle scene as Mercy and the pack are called in for reinforcement to handle a troll that is wreaking havoc on a bridge and threatening the lives of everyone in its vicinity. In Fire Touched we finally see the strife between fae and the rest of the world escalate. Review: An impending conflict with the fae has been hinted at in the last few books in the Mercy Thompson series and in its spinoff series, Alpha and Omega. But who will protect them from a boy who is fire touched? And when coyote shapeshifter Mercy and her Alpha werewolf mate, Adam, are called upon to stop a rampaging troll, they find themselves with something that could be used to make the fae back down and forestall out-and-out war: a human child stolen long ago by the fae.ĭefying the most powerful werewolf in the country, the humans, and the fae, Mercy, Adam, and their pack choose to protect the boy no matter what the cost.
Description: Tensions between the fae and humans are coming to a head.
