Blood Bound<\/a><\/em> (2007) Patricia Briggs<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This is a second book in the Mercy Thompson series, and finds Mercy inadvertently caught up in vampire business.<\/p>\n

There are so many little tidbits that I enjoy, dropped randomly throughout the books.<\/p>\n

The Marrok, the leader of the North American werewolves, insists that all of the wolves wear a collar when they run in the cities, with tags that identify them as someone\u2019s pet. He also insists the names on the tags be something innocuous like Fred or Spot, no Killers or Fangs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I watch TV . I\u2019ve seen the way the police track serial killers\u2014 at least in detective shows. … If I ever become a serial murderer, I\u2019ll be very careful to kill people in a pattern that centers around a police station\u2014 and not my home or work.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Again, these stories are on the darker side, not with horror, but with the reality that fighting a supernatural creature is bound to cause a lot of damage.<\/p>\n

It’s strange how much of these stories I don’t remember. Either I’ve forgotten parts, or I sped so quickly through I missed bits. But that’s fine, because it means I discover new things up reading again.
