 “Mercy is a shapeshifting coyote and honorary member of the Tri-Cities werewolf pack. When the pack stumbles upon the buried bones of numerous dead children, she shapeshifts into a mystery of the legendary fae - a mystery that draws Mercy's stepdaughter Jesse into the fray!”

I really hoped that I was going to enjoy this bind up of the six- issue comics. In the past I have read many of the novels in the Mercy Thompson urban fantasy series. The idea of shape shifters has been an immediate sell for me since I read the Kate Daniel series by Ilona Andrews.

The pacing and point of view of this novel prevented me from being able to delve into the world. While I understand that graphic novels are a quick read and as a result they will not cover as much as a traditional novel, I didn’t feel that it fit in this case. The novel continuously switched back and forth between both Mercy and Jesse. I found this to be a bit disjointed and annoying at times.

1.5/5 Stars

The plot was an interesting concept, but I was just unable to stay focused for the duration of the novel. I found myself forcing my way through and eventually I had to give up (only making it halfway through). I believe that this graphic novel would be more enjoyable for those who may not have read the original series and as a result do not have high hopes that will inevitably be crushed.

 I received this for review from NetGalley.
