Storm Cursed
Mercy Thompson is back at her garage, but her life as a coyote shapeshifter is far from quiet. While her mate Adam handles security for a high-stakes meeting between the government and the fae, Mercy must investigate a series of dark magic incidents involving a dangerous witch. As the Tri-Cities becomes a neutral zone for supernatural powers, she finds herself caught between ancient rivalries and a new threat that could destroy her home.
Storm Cursed is the eleventh book in the Mercy Thompson series and builds heavily on established character relationships and ongoing plotlines. While the author provides some context, new readers will likely find themselves lost without the background from earlier installments.
The main conflict of Storm Cursed reaches a resolution, providing a satisfying conclusion to the immediate storyline. However, like many books in a long-running urban fantasy series, it leaves room for future developments and ongoing character arcs.
Storm Cursed is part of the Mercy Thompson series, which shares a universe with Patricia Briggs' Alpha and Omega series. While the two series can be read independently, characters and events from one may occasionally be referenced in the other, enriching the overall world-building.
