But when Wulfe goes missing, the Tri-Cities Pack is blamed. The vampire Wulfe has been stalking Mercy, seemingly harmless, for months. I’m still very interested in the Alpha and Omega series and the goings-on in Mercy’s world criss-cross with that one, so I feel like I need to keep reading these. Hang on, let's cross the streams and have everyone chant we believe in magic and it will all be ok. The bad guy wasn't even all that scary and I still don't understand what sort of ex-Machina shit happened at the end that saved the day. There are all these awesome characters who AREN'T Mercy and Adam, and I would just love to read a book about any of them. It's like listening in on your parents having sex. Ok, maybe my grandma would find the stuff that Adam and Mercy say to each other funny or racy or interesting, but I just cannot with these two. Which means more of their god-awful mating bond and his protective instincts and her calming influence and his growly comments that are supposed to be sexy but. Instead of a book about a cool vampire, it's more of the cringy Adam & Mercy show.
You find out a blurpy little snippet about his past that explains why he's batshit, but that's the extent of seeing him in the book. So basically, there's no Wulf in this book. Something has happened to him, and it's up to Mercy & Adam to find out what before the pack gets blamed and a war gets started with the vampires. He's this superstar vampire/witch/sorcerer with all kinds of powers, he's completely mental, and he's taken an interest in Mercy. Who is taking them? As Mercy investigates, she learns of the legend of the Harvester, who travels by less-trodden paths and reaps the souls that are ripe with a great black scythe. Until Wulfe vanished, all of them were powerless loners, many of whom quietly moved to the Tri-Cities in the hope that the safety promised by Mercy and Adam's pack would extend to them as well. And these are not just ordinary people but supernatural beings. Someone is taking people from locked rooms, from the aisles of stores and even from crowded parties. So Mercy goes out to find her stalker - and discovers more than just Wulfe have disappeared. The mistress of the vampire seethe informs Mercy that the pack must produce Wulfe to prove their innocence, or the loose alliance between the local vampires and werewolves is over. But when he disappears, the Tri-Cities pack is blamed.
Since he's deadly, possibly insane, and his current idea of 'fun' is stalking Mercy, some may see it as no great loss. Mercy Thompson, car mechanic and shapeshifter, must face her greatest fears in this chilling entry in the No.
