Publisher's Summary

When her former boss and mentor is arrested for murder and left to rot behind bars by his own kind, it's up to shapeshifting car mechanic Mercy Thompson to clear his name, whether he wants her to or not. And she'll have to choose between the two werewolves in her life-whether she wants to or not.

What the critics say

“The third book in an increasingly excellent series, Iron Kissed has all the elements I've come to expect in a Patricia Briggs novel: sharp, perceptive, characterization, non-stop action, and a level-headed attention to detail and location. I love these books.” (Charlaine Harris, number-one New York Times best-selling author)

“Another top-notch paranormal mystery...Thompson is a sharp, strong heroine and her lycanthropic love triangle is honest and steamy...a tense, nimble, crowd-pleasing page-turner.” (Publishers Weekly)

Very much enjoyed this book

This Mercy Thompson Novel has great action and feeling but does have difficult parts that could be a trigger for strong emotions in some readers.

Patricia Briggs is one of my favorites!

I love this series and have read (and listened to) it many times. Though this is the most difficult one for me in the series because of a certain scene it's still incredible writing and characters.
Love the way it's read without detracting from the story. I have deleted audiobooks for poor readers without regret.
I also recommend her Alpha and Omega series as well!!

Great Story

One of my favorite book series, and this one didn't disappoint. I appreciate when people are willing to take on more difficult subject matter and go with it. There was a mistake in the beginning of chapter nine where a sentence was repeated twice. I listened to it twice to make sure it was a mistake and not just my chapter skipping. It pulled me out of the story for a few confused moments, but after that there was no other issues. Overall a very good book.

Powerful but sad

I love this series but this book is the one I like the least. Don't get me wrong, it's very well written, powerful even, the narrating is perfect. But some of the subject matter is difficult and brings me to tears. There are real and lasting consequences to playing hero.

Heart wrenching

I usually get tired of a lot of repetition that happens in this book. You’d think it’s because the author assumes your reading every other book in the series for the first time and doesn’t fail to mention things ongoing readers already know. But aside from that the narrator is brilliant with all the different voices. And this third book was a phenomenal ending. So good. The book got serious on another level. Will definitely recommend if you can pass the repetition of words

Fun and Entertaining

Patrician Briggs writes a fun and entertaining adventure filled with mythical/magical characters. She's great at writing likeable main characters and Mercy is one of my all time favs. Of course a ton of credit must be given to the narrator (Lorelei King) who obviously possess some magic of her own - as you would swear it is not one person reading this story to you.

Review

Lorilei King does a masterfully emotive job of bringing this story of Mrs. Briggs' to life. Between the intriguing plot line, realistic character interactions, and the care into the messages this story delivers this book is over all well crafted.
Expanding from the last two books focus on wolves and vamps, this book helps explain and expand our knowledge of the Mercy Verse fae. Mrs. Briggs did an excellent job representing them, and you can tell how much research went into writing this. The care she takes with the cultures she's writing with is one of the reasons Patricia's series is so well loved.
I have and will continue to encourage others to partake in this series until the end of time.
