Suspense, Danger, and Being Hit by a Bus.

A review on "Silence Fallen"

By Morgana SteelePublished 12 months ago 2 min read

In the gripping tenth installment of the Mercy Thompson series, “Silence Fallen”, Patricia Briggs takes readers on an exhilarating journey filled with suspense, danger, and the unwavering strength of its heroine, Mercy Thompson. 

The narrative kicks off with an adrenaline-pumping abduction as Mercy is taken from her pack's territory by a formidable vampire, plunging into the intricate depths of the supernatural world. As the plot unfolds, readers are treated to a tantalizing blend of action, political intrigue, and supernatural conflicts that keep the pages turning. Who knew going on a grocery run would be so dangerous? 

Briggs' masterful storytelling brings to life a rich and vibrant world, with Mercy at the heart of it all, showcasing her resilience and unwavering resolve in the face of adversity. With this novel being in the heart of Europe, Briggs makes the scents and senses come to life in such a way that you, the reader, want to go there too. The dynamic relationships between characters and the complex web of allegiances and conflicts add depth and intrigue to the storyline, leaving readers on the edge of their seats. 

Mercy's indomitable spirit, coupled with her inherent power of chaos as the not-daughter of Coyote, propels the narrative to exhilarating heights, setting the stage for an enthralling adventure filled with twists and turns.

What else can one expect from Mercy? When she is given the title of the most powerful person in the Tri Cities by none other than Wulfe, the not-all-there vampire with a fixation on our heroine. When Coyote is a key player in your heritage and you are being interesting, not everything is as it seems, even when dealing with vampires.

Silence Fallen is a triumphant addition to the Mercy Thompson series, demonstrating Patricia Briggs' prowess in crafting compelling urban fantasy narratives that will satisfy both devoted fans and newcomers alike. With its engaging plot, vivid characters, and pulse-pounding action, this book is a must-read for fans of the genre and anyone who appreciates a strong, resilient heroine facing formidable challenges.

Briggs leaves readers eagerly anticipating the next chapter in Mercy's captivating saga, making Silence Fallen an essential addition to any urban fantasy bookshelf.
