could smell her fear, and it satisfied something deep inside me that
had been writhing under her cool, superior gaze. I curled my upper lip

Mechanic Mercy Thompson can shift her shape – but not her loyalty. When
her former boss and mentor is arrested for murder and left to rot
behind bars by his own kind, it's up to Mercy to clear his name,
whether he wants her to or not.
Mercy's loyalty is under pressure from other directions, too.
Werewolves are not known for their patience, and if Mercy can't decide
between the two she cares for, Sam and Adam may make the choice for
her...
