Storm Cursed, by Patricia Briggs

2019-05-20-storm-cursed-by-patricia-briggs

Patricia Briggs is one of the most reliable fantasy writers on my mental list of books to take on a plane. She's less pretentious than Seanan McGuire, way less gross than Laurell K. Hamilton, and better at romance than Charlaine Harris...

Our latest Book Giveaway is Storm Cursed, the 11th book in Patricia Briggs's Mercy Thompson series. (Why are the titles in this series so generic-fantasy-lite?

Weekly Book Giveaway: Silence Fallen, by Patricia Briggs

2017-04-17-weekly-book-giveaway-silence-fallen-by-patricia-briggs

This week's Book Giveaway title is Silence Fallen, the 10th book in Patricia Briggs's Mercy Thompson series.
