Such wonderful characters, and a truly great addition to the Mercy-verse.
This novella was the original work that started the Alpha & Omega spin-off series of novels, and tells the story of Charles and Anna’s first meeting. “Alpha & Omega” – Even though I’ve read this story 3 or 4 times already, I never get tired of it. “Seeing Eye” – The story of werewolf Tom and white witch Moira, set in Seattle. This story of vampire Elena and her quest to reconnect with her late husband has both action and emotion. “Gray” – A ghost story/love story set in Chicago, “Gray” is quite lovely. “Fairy Gifts” – Set in Butte, Montana, this is a short, sweet tale of redemption and old debts focusing on a vampire and a fae, with a distinctly old West feel to it. Although I’d read all of the six older stories already, I still enjoyed re-reading them in the context of this collection. Six stories have appeared previously in various anthologies, and four stories are new. There are 10 stories in Shifting Shadows, all set in Mercy’s world. Shifting Shadows is definitely a gift for fans, and it’s a pretty wonderful gift at that. Which, by the way, is amazing… so if you like urban fantasy filled with unique characters, exciting plots, and fascinating relationships, start with Moon Called, and then keep reading! I dare you to stop. If you’re not, this is not the place to enter Mercy’s world.
If you’re a fan of the Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs, then you’ll want to read this.
In a way, it’s silly to write a review of a book of stories such as Shifting Shadows.
