This is a graphic novel story that’s part of the larger prose novel
series titled Mercy Thompson. Mercy Thompson is the main character of
this super natural series and her special power is the ability to
transform into a coyote. This does mean she’s a werewolf, there are
plenty of those in this book, but there are also vampires and other fae.
She is in her 20’s or 30’s and is interviewing for a teaching job in a
new town but ends up flipping burgers and working in a mechanic’s shop
for a while. In this new town her secret ability is discovered by the
local werewolf pack, which is having a territory war with another pack,
and Mercy becomes entangled in this plot. In the end the two alphas of
the packs fight it out. It was a decent standalone story that was
readable to me even though I knew nothing of the series at all before I
read it. If you like werewolves and or vampire fiction, then this is for
you. I think it’d also be fun to read in October for Halloween to get
in the spooky mood, although it’s not really frightening. There is
blood, violence and some partial nudity; when she transforms from coyote
to human her clothes don’t just appear back on her like magic, same for
the werewolves, so it’s not a comic for kids. If you really like this,
you should try out the rest of the series (there are ten novels so far).
