NEW HARDCOVERS

Bone Crossed (Mercy Thompson Series #4), by Patricia Briggs - Upon reading the last paragraph of Briggs' third book in this series (Iron Kissed), I couldn't wait for the next installment. What remains interesting is the fact that I refuse to pay $24.95 for the Hardcover copy of this book. Although, I have enjoyed the series thus far, I would rather wait for the less expensive paperback version. Thank goodness for the back cover summary!! Oh, and congratulations to Mrs. Briggs for achieving hardcover status!!

Miss Thompson is preparing to marry alpha werewolf Adam Hauptman when she is asked to help scare an unfriendly ghost. Mercy accepts the task. This will remove her from the snares of vampire queen Marsilia and take her mind off of the stresses of her upcoming nuptials. I'm sure this is where the action begins! As Thompson fans know, wherever Mercy goes, trouble and drama always follow. I'm very excited to read this book. If I could just stop being a cheapskate!!
