When Werewolves Become the Prey
After werewolves went public, they can't afford any negative publicity. Offences that might have been overlooked in the past must now be punished severely. The stress of the dirty work Charles does for his father is taking a brutal toll on him. There's a danger that the executioner will become the condemned… So when the FBI asks the pack for help with a serial killer case, it's a welcome distraction. Charles and Anna are sent to Boston, in the hope that a new job will calm Charles down. They both soon discover that not only were the latest victims werewolves. Someone is targeting their kind. And Charles and Anna have made themselves a very clear target…
Patricia Briggs
Patricia Briggs' first novel, Masques, was published in 1993. The book was not a success, and the author's career almost ended before it began. Fortunately, her second novel, Steal the Dragon (1995), sold much better, and her writing career slowly took off. The growing popularity of her books, combined with her ability to create vivid, compelling characters, inspired a publisher to ask if she would try writing a modern urban fantasy. Briggs accepted the challenge and signed a contract for a series of novels starring Mercy Thompson. Smoke Bitten (2020) is the latest, twelfth instalment in the successful series and universe.
The first book in the Mercy Thompson series (Moon Called) made the USA Today bestseller list. The second instalment, Blood Bound, hit the New York Times bestseller list. Iron Kissed, the third book, even reached number one on this prestigious list. The success was so enormous that further instalments of this as-yet-unfinished series are in the works. The author has also come up with a spin-off series, Alpha & Omega, which is also published by Fantom Print along with the main Mercedes Thompson series.
