Bone Crossed
Mercy Thompson is a coyote shifter and Volkswagen mechanic who just wants to keep her head down in the Tri-Cities. When a powerful vampire from her past arrives seeking revenge, she must rely on her pack and her own wits to survive. The local werewolf alpha and a vampire friend both want to protect her, but Mercy is more than capable of holding her own.
Bone Crossed is the fourth book in the Mercy Thompson series and builds directly on events and character relationships established in the previous three novels. While some elements might be understood, a new reader would miss significant character development and plot context without starting from the beginning of the series.
The main plot arc of Bone Crossed reaches a resolution, providing a satisfying conclusion to the immediate conflict. However, ongoing character relationships and broader series developments continue, setting the stage for future books without leaving the reader on an abrupt cliffhanger.
