Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs #1
Moon Called Mercy Thompson's life is not exactly normal. Her next-door neighbor is a werewolf. Her former boss is a gremlin. And she's fixing a VW bus for a vampire. But then, Mercy isn't exactly normal herself. Blood Bound Mechanic Mercy Thompson has friends in low places-and in dark ones. And now she owes one of them a favor. Since she can shapeshift at will, she agrees to act as some extra muscle when her vampire friend Stefan goes to deliver a message to another of his kind. But this new vampire is hardly ordinary-and neither is the demon inside of him. Iron Kissed 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. Bone Crossed Marsilia, the local vampire queen, has learned that Mercy crossed her by slaying a member of her clan. Now, she's out for blood. But since Mercy is protected from direct reprisal by the werewolf pack-and her relationship with its sexy Alpha-it's not Mercy's blood Marsilia is after... Silver Borne When mechanic and shapeshifter Mercy Thompson attempts to return a powerful Fae book she'd previously borrowed in an act of desperation, she finds the bookstore locked up and closed down. It seems the book contains secret knowledge-and the Fae will do just about anything to keep it out of the wrong hands. And if that doesn't take enough of Mercy's attention, her friend Samuel is struggling with his wolf side-leaving Mercy to cover for him, lest his own father declare Sam's life forfeit. All in all, Mercy has had better days. And if she isn't careful, she might not have many more to live... River Marked February 2011 __________________

Thanks for the thread, Chrissy
Haven't read any of the books yet, but I've heard lots of good stuff about the series. Which is your favorite part of the series? __________________

I like that Mercy has her limits. A lot of other people are stronger than her, but she is pretty strong herself.

Ah, so she's not the female superhero who can't be hurt that you find in other series?

Yes, and she can even take time to heal.

Oy, now that's good to hear. Superhero's can be nice, but I think it's also quite good if a character has some flaws and is more 'normal' by showing weakness and so on.

Clear case of not being able to chose
I guess I'll find out when I get around to read them. __________________
