Not only is there an overarching plot thread concerning the book Mercy borrowed from Phin - and didn't return, mind you - there is an even more pressing concern of Mercy's new involvement with the pack, because now, she is pack. While the plot of Silver Borne is deceptively simple and its execution similar to that of the Alpha & Omega Series with a heavy dose of action during the last few chapters, character growth in the name of the game with this installment. Granted, he sorta does that every time he saunters onto the page, crisp in his suit and tie, his eye glinting with the ferocity - and vulnerability - of an alpha of the werewolf pack, but if Mercy wasn't already Adam's, you can bet I'd have volunteered myself into a Hunger Games to win him after this book.

Silver Borne is a lot of things it's another action-packed Mercy Thompson installment, it's another fae-infused novel from this world, it's a novel that I wouldn't hesitate to label, really, as Sam's book.but despite all that, Adam Hauptman steals the show. But she sure could use a holiday.Īt this point, I am unable to re-call a single swoon-worthy factor about any character whose name isn't Adam Hauptman because, DAMN, Adam Hauptman. OK, so maybe her troubles have nothing to do with the job.

A book of fae secrets has come to light and they're all about to find out how implacable - and dangerous - the fae can be. And now the leader of the werewolf pack, who's maybe-more-than-just-a-friend, has asked for her help. Mercy Thompson, for instance, just spent the last couple of months trying to evade the murderous queen of the local vampire seethe.
