Moon Called review

Moon Called was written by the author Patricia Briggs. It is the first novel in the Mercy Thompson series. Moon Called was published in 2006. It is a supernatural fiction novel.  The Mercy Thompson series has an offshoot series called Alpha and Omega, which is also really good. I personally prefer the Mercy Thompson series to the Alpha and Omega series.  Moon Called was an excellent novel and a perfect first novel to a series.

This novel, Moon Called, thoroughly hooked me to the Mercy Thompson series. It is one of my favorite series. Mercy, the main character, is interesting and exciting to read about and Mercy is portrayed and was created very well by the author, Patricia Briggs.  Mercy is independent, smart, and witty. She is also very tough, because of the things she survives and because of all the things she has been through in her life. Mercy is a walker, which is a coyote shifter.  Mercy’s love interest is Adam, who is a werewolf.  Adam is a good man for Mercy, because even though he is an alpha werewolf, he will never try to control her and what she does. He also is fiercely protective and intelligent. Even the secondary supporting characters are well written and you can get a good sense of who they are as characters.

Moon Called is a supernatural, mystery, romance, and action novel. The romance was already mentioned with Adam and Mercy, although not much development takes place in this book on that aspect.  There is a murder and the kidnapping of Adam’s daughter, Jesse, at the beginning of the novel and Mercy and Adam try to get justice and get Jesse back.  While the plot continues there are several fight scenes in the novel leading up to a bigger fight scene at the end of the novel. Moon Called has many different supernatural creatures in it including werewolves, walkers, vampires, witches, and the fae.

I would recommend Moon Called to anyone who enjoys mystery, action, witty dialogue, great characters and lots of supernatural creatures. Even if you do not like to read many novels, I would still suggest you read this novel and continue reading the series.  Moon Called was very good. I have read this novel several times and I still love it. It is one of my absolute favorite novels to read.
