Blood Bound: Werewolves, Vampires and Shapeshifters, Oh My

Blood Bound is the 2nd novel in the Mercy Series by Patricia Briggs. Blood Bound is a werewolf novel, along the same lines as Laurell K Hamilton's Anita Blake series; Kim Harrison's Witch series; and Kelly Armstrong's werewolf series. Like those novels, this novel has a strong female character that has unusual powers that hangs out with monsters that are bigger and badder than she is, but somehow she manages to make it through whatever the situation is alive with most of her pride intact. If you have not read the first book in the series Moon Called then you should read it first as it has information about characters that you need to know before you read this book (and stop reading this review as it will give away some of the plot in the first book).
