Review:
Silence Fallen by Patricia Briggs is the 10th book in her wonderful Mercy Thompson series. Mercy has evolved quite a lot over the last 9 books, and in Silence Fallen we get to see more of the powers she has within her. Patricia Briggs once again gives us an exciting story with one of our favorite couples, Mercy and Adam.
When the story begins, the werewolf pack is having fun eating and playing games. Mercy decides to make a meal for the gang, and has to run out to buy eggs. As she gets ready to head home, someone smashes her car and renders her unconscious. When Mercy awakes, she discovers she has been kidnapped and cannot feel her bond to Adam, disabling any possibility of contact to him. A powerful European vampire is behind the kidnapping and Mercy is on her own to find a way to escape.
Adam enlists the aid of Stefan and Marsilia (vampires), as well as the witch, Elizaveta to help him find Mercy. What follows is an exciting adventure that will have Mercy escaping in a set up to kill her, but she of course, manages to get away alive. Being alone, with no one to trust, she finds herself Prague, looking for help from both dangerous wolves and vampires . Who can Mercy trust?
Adam and his group arrive in Italy to meet the vampire who kidnapped Mercy. Adam was able to have a slight contact to Mercy finding out she has escaped, but it was minimal. His goal is to find out why the vampire kidnapped Mercy and to make sure the vampires out searching for her do not kill her. Adam must learn to control his wolf, and try to negotiate with the vampire; while his pack at home use all means to discover where Mercy is.
It was an interesting story, which was really in two different POV’s, Adam and Mercy. The brunt of the story had them separate for most of the book. Mercy will find herself kidnapped again by another powerful but crazy vampire, and in order to save herself from sure death, she must find a way to use her ghost magnet ability to get them to help her. Interesting and wild stuff; especially as we near the end, when we see much more of what she can do. It was a wild pulse pounding tense finish, and I loved every moment of it. Most of all, I loved the ending with Adam and Mercy together. I would like to go back and reread this again, since so much happens along the way. This is a great series, great heroine, great couple and always wonderfully written by Briggs. If you have not read the Mercy Thompson series, and love paranormal, shifters, wolves; it is time to start reading this series.
