This book switches point-of-view between Mercy and Adam, so we can see what Mercy is doing, while also learning about the men that have kidnapped the pack, which is easier than having him tell all about it once he\u2019s free. ?<\/p>\n

On the plus side for me, Bran sends Asil, the Moor, to the Tri-cities to help Mercy. I really like Asil.<\/p>\n

Asil smiled; it was a warm and friendly smile. \u201cHe told me that gave you sorrow. You would scheme and plan so no one would know\u2014and never realize that he didn\u2019t even have to investigate such an incident. \u2018Who else could it be?\u2019 he told me when I called him to \u2026 discuss the incident. \u2018Can you imagine any of the pack putting peanut butter on the seat of my car to teach me a lesson?\u2019\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cCarefully worded for a fae who doesn\u2019t have to tell the truth,\u201d said Asil.<\/p>\n

Tad turned to the old wolf cooly. \u201cI am always careful with the truth. It is a powerful thing and deserves respect.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course,\u201d anwered Asil. \u201cWhen you are old, you will find yourself assuming that everyone else is careless with important things, too. My comment was not meant as censure; you merely surprised me.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
