Inhalt (Klappentext, Orbit)
Mercy Thompson enjoys being a mechanic, but life is never simple given her increasing closeness to the local werewolf pack, and her ability to change into a coyote form at will. And when a member of the fae community calls in a favour, needing her skills for a covert murder investigation, she jumps into the hunt.
But the dangers multiply and she clashes with shadowed creatures of great power. When her old boss Zee is charged with a brutal assassination, Mercy finds herself fighting alone. There are those who love her, who would keep her safe, but she is wary and holds her freedom precious. Until, that is, she has nothing left to lose but her life ...
Meinung
Iron Kissed is the 3 band of the Mercy Thompson series and, in my opinion, so far the best. The characters are now fairly mature, so I finally able to build a certain relationship with them and "living as" with them could. Mercy's former boss, Zee, has now grown into one of my favorite characters, and since the plot revolves around him, above all - he is suspected of murder -., I found the whole thing quite exciting and above all you get finally some insight into his past, because hitherto knew Mercy (and, the reader) is that he a fairy (English: fae ), With significant power, and as one of the few fairy no damage from contact with iron will (hence the title Iron Kissed ), but even that is working - he was in front of Mercy of the owners of their garage.
also on the other fairies, who live for their "coming out" in a kind of reserve, Mercy learns more, as ye do well, for the Grey Lords are ready, people as little as mö ; to be possible to know about the fairies, but in no case the true extent of their power. Then, when some (even miraculous!) Artifacts in the hands of the fairies reach the people, the situation threatens to escalate.
Although the story sometimes seems a bit too fantastic, but it is well told and makes you want to continue. Not least because in the last pages Mercy finally chooses between Samuel and Adam. So entirely without love just comes from a book and that's a good thing.
