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.

Set in the Tri-Cities of Washington State, Mercy Thompson takes readers into a world where magic is real, and the stakes are always high. In the series, Mercy's life is never quiet. Whether she's helping to solve supernatural crimes, navigating the politics of local werewolf packs, or managing the complicated relationships with those she loves—including the powerful Alpha werewolf, Adam Hauptman—the challenges never stop. But Mercy's true strength lies not in her supernatural abilities but in her resilience, loyalty, and her ability to do what's right, no matter the cost.

Briggs’ world-building is rich with layers, making the series not only thrilling but immersive. With each book, the reader is drawn deeper into the rules of the supernatural world—its ancient customs, hidden dangers, and the way in which Mercy constantly finds herself in the middle of it all. What truly makes Mercy Thompson stand out, however, is the intricate character dynamics. The bonds between Mercy and those around her—whether they’re allies or enemies—are always complex, never predictable, and always evolving. At the heart of it all is Mercy’s growth as a person—and as a leader within the supernatural world.

The series strikes a delicate balance between action and character development, as well as between romance and suspense. Mercy's relationships—especially with Adam, the Alpha wolf—are as intense and multifaceted as the threats they face together. But even in the face of unimaginable danger, there’s a sense of hope and camaraderie that keeps Mercy grounded, making her an enduring heroine for fans who crave stories that mix heart and action.

For fans of urban fantasy, Mercy Thompson delivers not only thrilling, high-stakes drama but a world where every monster has a history and every action has consequences. In a world of shifting allegiances, dark secrets, and fierce battles, Mercy is one of the few who never gives up on finding the truth, no matter how much it costs her.

With its intricate plots, unforgettable characters, and a world as real as it is dangerous, the Mercy Thompson series is a captivating journey into the unknown—where mercy is as powerful as any weapon and loyalty can make all the difference.

Mercy Thompson consists of fourteen primary books, and includes one additional book that complement the series but is not considered mandatory reads and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
