Review: Winter Lost

Winter Lost Winter Lost by Patricia Briggs
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Mercy hasn't recovered from what the artefact known as the Soul Taker did to her, although she is trying to conceal it from her friends and mate. In addition, the vampire Bonafrata is stalking her and torturing innocents while he forces Mercy to listen on the phone.

To top it all, Mercy's half-brother Gary arrives on the pack's doorstep, incoherent and malnourished. Mercy calls Zee and Zee calls local frost giant Ymir who concludes it is a curse, but only his brother Hrimnir can release Gary because it is his magic.

In a quest to find Hrimnir, Adam and Mercy travel to Montana in Winter, to the ranch where Gary was working where they learn that Gary stole a precious artefact from Hrimnir and left it in a local resort which is guarded by a water spirit and Hrimnir cannot enter. In retaliation, Hrimnir has brought a snow storm on the mountain and vowed no-one can leave the resort until his stolen artefact is returned.

So now Mercy and Adam have to battle a blizzard, find an artefact AND persuade an angry frost giant to release his spell on Gary. Throw in a whole host of fae and other creatures and a ritual that must be performed on a certain day and its just business-as-usual for the pair of them LOL. Oh, and some of Adam's men have been attacked in South America and the three other dominant males in Adam's pack are struggling to find a way of working together.

As always, I looooooved this. But (also as always) I have questions, why was he(view spoiler) him(view spoiler)? Why did he(view spoiler) do it in the first place? And why did the other he(view spoiler)do that(view spoiler)?

I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley.
