Volkswagen mechanic Mercy Thompson, “Mercedes” to her friends is also a walker, a creature better known as a shape shifter. Unlike the werewolves, Mercedes isn’t tied to the moon so she isn’t compelled to shape shift as they do. Hers is a native form of magic that provides partial immunity to vampire magic and for that, vampires have nearly exterminated the walkers. Good thing Stefan, a vampire of the local seethe is Mercedes friend and client but on the downside, she owes him a favor which has been called due. Stefan wants to check out a new vampire in town but has reason to believe his own judgment may prove faulty when dealing with this new threat. Mercedes agrees to accompany him to the meeting in her coyote form and observe the proceedings but things immediately begin spiraling out of control when she realizes they are confronting nothing less then a demon in vampire form.

To escape a death sentence, Stefan must team up with a damaged vampire, hunt down the demon vampire and present him to the seethe’s ruler. Mercedes must attempt to stay out of harms way even as she is drawn further into the hunt while fighting the attraction of two alpha wolves. Werewolves, vampires, fae and walkers all play a role in this action packed tale of power, evil and a multitude of things that go bump in the night. Briggs has created a believable alternative world populated with strong, dynamite characters, deadly adversaries and cunningly laid plots that leave the reader looking for more.
