![]() ![]() By allowing her heroine to get raped at the climax of Iron Kissed, Briggs has potentially painted herself into a corner, in that there is very little reason, from a standpoint of pure storytelling logic, for the Mercy Thompson series to continue at all. Or at the very least, stop saying yes when all of her vampire, werewolf, or fae friends show up at the door asking a favor. Maybe it’s time for her to just pack up and move. Opening literally right as the previous novel ends - the first few pages of this one overlap the last few of Iron - it throws Mercy right into another heap of trouble without giving the poor girl a moment to breathe. With Bone Crossed, Ace has taken a look at Patricia Briggs’ soaring sales and finally decided she rates a hardcover. Iron Kissed, the third Mercy Thompson novel, left such a nasty taste in my mouth that it was with more wariness than enthusiasm that I began the fourth.
