3rd in the Mercedes “Mercy” Thompson books, Iron Kissed takes you on another wild ride with everyone’s favorite Walker.
The book starts out with Mercy, Kyle and Warren having a movie night. Mercy gets a phone call from her mentor and friend, Zee, asking her to come out to the reservation. (Or Fairyland as it’s called.) Mercy goes and meets Zee who informs her that there have been numerous fey killings and he needs her help, in her coyote form, to try and find the killer. However, Zee warns her, she needs to keep her eyes on the job so that the greater fey don’t suspect her of knowing more than she does…or should.
Thorough out all of the intrigue is the decisions Mercy has to make regarding Samuel and Adam. She does finally make her choice…And of course Mercy gets into trouble and the fey target her for execution. She eventually figures out…or stumbles upon…the killer and falls into his trap.
What happens next is hard to read. Suffice it to say, I cried through the last 3 chapters of the book. But the ending is NOT sad. It’s very uplifting and very Mercy. You leave the book with a smile on your face and a longing for the fourth to come out tomorrow.
I adore this series and the books keep getting better. I did have some trouble following the fey storyline but it didn’t take away from the enjoyment I received from reading this installment.
