In a case of guilty but innocent the book starts out 10 years after 15 year old Abigail is found murdered in a field by her best friend and the friendIn a case of guilty but innocent the book starts out 10 years after 15 year old Abigail is found murdered in a field by her best friend and the friend's mum. The murdered girl's father's girlfriend is declared the guilty party and spent years in prison protesting her innocence. Now ten years later she has committed suicide and a witness has come forward to validate her alibi all those years ago. It was a bit hard to keep everyone straight. I very much enjoy the character of DCI Stanhope and look forward to getting to know her more in the future....more

Samuel is feeling hella depThis seems to be one of her weaker offerings, but at least we have some much needed character development and advancement. Samuel is feeling hella depressed and lets his wolf take him over. Mercy has a book she borrowed from a fae bookstore. She goes to return the book, bringing Samuel with her, and gets into trouble when she encounters fae looking for the book. Samuel has been one of my favorite characters and although I didn't want him to end up with Mercy, I do want to see him have his own happy ending. That said, Samuel's character development seems to have been tied up a little too easily and came out of left field. Can Mercy manage to once again save the day (with a little help of her friends)?...more
This is the fourth book in the Mercy Thompson series, and it picks up right after the events of the previous book. She once again gets thrown straightThis is the fourth book in the Mercy Thompson series, and it picks up right after the events of the previous book. She once again gets thrown straight into the deep end of a feud and has to rely on her wits and supernatural skills to get out of trouble. She leaves town for a bit to get out of the vamp-war fire only to find herself in the frying pan in another vamp's territory. I'm enjoying getting to know Mercy (this is my first time reading the series - where have I been?) and the cast of characters surrounding her. I don't have a favorite supe group yet, but I do want to smack Marsilia really hard....more

I would have been okay if it had ended there, but my life is so much richer knowing how Ada's story continued. I really admire the character of Ada and love Susan and the other secondary characters. It shows how life was like in England from the viewpoint of a young, precocious little girl. She volunteers for the fire watch, overcoming a fear of heights, and learns to care for others - and even experiences loss as everyone did during the war....more
An outstanding children's book that I enjoyed as a middle aged woman. Ada and her brother Jamie are neglected by their mother, and Ada is not allowed An outstanding children's book that I enjoyed as a middle aged woman. Ada and her brother Jamie are neglected by their mother, and Ada is not allowed to walk or leave the apartment to even use the bathroom because she has a clubfoot. She secretly teaches herself to walk and when her brother Jamie is sent away from London to the countryside she escapes with him. They are taken in by a grieving woman (widow?) and experience the world for the first time. Very well-written and gripping....more

I very much enjoyed this world. I love the character of Mercy, and her fellow inhabitants are well thought out. I particularly loved the old owner and his dagger. Being a German translator she had me at his name. Can’t wait for his back story. Already ordered no. 2 in the series. ...more
