Adam's ex moving in is one of those "of it doesn't kill you it will make you stronger" trials in life that I thought Mercy managed beautifully, I understand why Christy pretty much getting away with things she should have never been allowed to ticked off many readers but I just smiled knowing Adam and Mercy had a bond no amount of skillful manipulation could shatter. Being on the outside looking in my opinion is that not only did Christy actually strengthen the standing within the pack that Mercy had already earned she also pretty much finally opened the eyes of even her strongest supporters as to how much more Mercy was the better choice for taking care of Pack members as well as their Alpha Adam.
The spectacularly grueling fight scenes, the gruesome crime scenes, the unending mutual adoration and respect for each other that Mercy and Adam share and last but not least that meddling Coyote all rounded this 8th book out into another enjoyable adventure featuring our favorite mechanic.
After reading the end my smile was one of relief at how things are working out as well as pleasure from a good reading experience!
