Soul Taken
Mercy Thompson, car mechanic and shapeshifter, must face her greatest fears in this chilling entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.
The vampire Wulfe is missing. Since he’s deadly, possibly insane, and his current idea of “fun” is stalking Mercy, some may see it as no great loss. But when he disappears, the Tri-Cities pack is blamed. The mistress of the vampire seethe informs Mercy that the pack must produce Wulfe to prove their innocence, or the loose alliance between the local vampires and werewolves is over.
So Mercy goes out to find her stalker—and discovers more than just Wulfe have disappeared. Someone is taking people from locked rooms, from the aisles of stores, and even from crowded parties. And these are not just ordinary people but supernatural beings. Until Wulfe vanished, all of them were powerless loners, many of whom quietly moved to the Tri-Cities in the hope that the safety promised by Mercy and Adam’s pack would extend to them as well.
Who is taking them? As Mercy investigates, she learns of the legend of the Harvester, who travels by less-trodden paths and reaps the souls that are ripe with a great black scythe. . . .

Mercy Thompson
In the Mercy Thompson series, the world is not as it seems. Beneath the surface of modern-day society, supernatural creatures—werewolves, vampires, fae, and more—live hidden among humans, each with their own rules, secrets, and power struggles. Mercy Thompson, a mechanic and shapeshifter, is at the heart of this dangerous world. Unlike most shapeshifters, Mercy is a "walker," a rare kind that turns into a coyote. With this unique ability comes an equally rare perspective—one that allows her to navigate the complexities of the supernatural community with a blend of wit, compassion, and a healthy dose of skepticism.
