Overview

All-new action in the #1 New York Times bestselling urban fantasy series

When mechanic and shapeshifter Mercy Thompson attempts to return a powerful Fae book she'd previously borrowed in an act of desperation, she finds the bookstore locked up and closed down.

It seems the book contains secret knowledge-and the Fae will do just about anything to keep it out of the wrong hands. And if that doesn't take enough of Mercy's attention, her friend Samuel is struggling with his wolf side-leaving Mercy to cover for him, lest his own father declare Sam's life forfeit.

All in all, Mercy has had better days. And if she isn't careful, she might not have many more to live...

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble

All Mercy Thompson wanted to do was return a book to a bookstore, but the store was closed down and the shapeshifter realizes that the book's Fae contents are just too dangerous to simply discard. And as she would learn all too intimately, the Fae have very strong ideas about maintaining control of their very secret intellectual property. A fantasy series that holds you tight; a top-selling novel now in mass market paperback.

Publishers Weekly

Coyote-shifting garage mechanic Mercedes Thompson, now mated to Adam, the Alpha of the local werewolf pack, embarks on her exciting fifth dark fantasy adventure (after 2009's bestselling Bone Crossed). Three subplots—Mercy's attempt to return a magical book to a fae friend-of-a-friend, her difficulties integrating into Adam's pack, and her roommate Samuel's misery over being a lone Alpha—come together seamlessly, and excitement builds as Mercy and her loved ones go through ever more intense experiences, including a house fire, a suicide attempt, a death sentence, and a reunion between long-ago loves. Briggs creates both well-rounded characters and a complex mythology, resulting in a rich read that's far more than a series of action adventures strung together. Fans of the series will be thrilled; new readers should start at the beginning or risk drowning in the immersive world-building. 6-city author tour. (Apr.)

The fifth Mercy Thompson urban fantasy is filled with action, romance and fae intrigue

Even though the human population knows that vampires, werewolves, and fae exist, it does not preclude mortals from fearing the paranormal. Mechanic Mercy Thompson is a shapeshifter who can turn into a coyote, but is mated with her beloved alpha werewolf Adam. His pack feels a coyote is beneath them on the food chain and using their mind control powers try to persuade Mercy that she is not good enough for their leader.

While an outraged Adam is trying to ferret out who is destroying his pack and messing with his Mercy's mind, she has two other problems to contend with. Her friend Samuel the werewolf struggles with his human side so his beast keeps him alive while Mercy triess to give him a reason to live. A fairy wants her to return a powerful tome that a fae lent her; she kidnaps her friend Gabriel to insure Mercy cooperates, but the bookstore is shuttered permanently and Mercy knows the queen will try a double cross.

The fifth Mercy Thompson urban fantasy is filled with action, romance and fae intrigue; perhaps the deadliest kind on the planet. Filled with various subplots that tie deftly together, the continuing adventures of Mercy and Adam make for another entertaining entry in a strong saga. However, it is Patricia Briggs' world-building skills on a par with early Laurell K. Hamilton that make Silver Borne a winner as readers will believe in shapeshifters, fae and vampires, oh my.

The 5th Book Was Great

Enjoyed the fact that most of the story was about Adam and Mercy's relationship. Get more insight into the "pack's" magic. This is one of my favorite's in the series so far.

Another great addition to the Mercy Thompson series!!

I loved the book, and thought it was great. Just as good as the rest of the books in the series. The perfect amount of action/romance/emotion. And for everyone else giving reviews... STOP GIVING GIVING 1 OR 2 STARS JUST BECAUSE IT'S NOT AVAILABLE IN E-BOOK YET. You are reviewing the BOOK, not Barnes and Noble. If you have a problem with BN's decision not to have it available in e-book yet, take it up with customer service, don't complain here in a review!

Another great series

I was given this book as a gift.

There are three kinds of books in the world; the failures, the satisfying reads and the life-changing reads. Patricia Briggs' Mercy Thompson series is one of the truly dependable satisfying series out there. These books won't change your life, but they will give you a good, entertaining read every time, and stand up to rereads as well.

Silver Borne is the fifth book in the series following Mercy Thompson, mechanic and werewolf-raise coyote shifter with a knack for defying all odds. As such, there's really no way to evaluate this book without spoilers for previous books, so be warned and if you're just setting out in the Tri-Cities world, you might not want to read this review.

Last time in Briggs' world Mercy Thompson got mixed up in a vampire plot that, after her brutal rape in book 3, nearly broke her. Luckily Mercy is getting a vacation from the vampires which allows her to deal with the other major things that happened in the last book--her magical mating to local werewolf Alpha, Adam. The attraction between defiant Mercy and overpowering Adam has been brewing from the first page of book one, when the two pretended to not be able to stand each other. But now Adam's past actions--namely declaring Mercy his mate a very long time ago, before he even tried showing his affection for her in order to keep her safe from the very dangerous werewolves that might see another predator shifter as competition--are coming to light. Adam's love and care are helping Mercy come back from the trauma of her rape, and ironically they're causing him some major problems in the pack, since many of his wolves are suspicious that Mercy would show no interest in the pack for years of being Adam's mate, and now suddenly wants a starring role.

Add to that Mercy unknowingly being the guardian of a very powerful fae artifact, and being unable to let those who have shown her friendliness and kindness be abused by others and you have a complex twist of plots that don't go linear like most book plots, but blossom and grow into a collection of characters that seem to share bits of their lives with reader in each book.

Briggs' books are fleshy and visual, featuring characters who are beyond fun and lovable. Humble and genuine, and dependable Briggs' skill brings readers loyally back for more of this world, which is neither over powered, nor self important, but is simply and truly, entertaining.

Ms. Briggs Does it again

Over the last few months, life has settled into a rhythm for Mercy. Still dealing with the aftermath of her recent trauma, Mercy's taking her newly established relationship with Adam, local werewolf pack Alpha, slowly yet surely forward even if their bond and her position in the Pack only work sporadically at best. Adam's pack has never really welcomed Mercy with open arms (troublesome coyote that she is), but she never would have expected some of Adam's wolves to meddle directly with their relationship. Upset and unsure of her next move, Mercy distances herself from the pack only to discover that her good friend and werewolf-roommate Samuel isn't coping as well as he had claimed to be. Deciding to keep stick to Samuel's side like glue, Mercy takes him on a short trip to return a borrowed book about the fae (a little light bedtime reading) when she determines that what she has, is in fact a powerful and ancient object - full of secrets about the fae - and worth more, to some, than her very life.

Patricia Briggs is one of those authors who understands how to deftly compound kick-butt action with emotional turmoil. Her novels always contain a hefty portion of Mercy fighting tooth-and-nail to protect those she loves, but in "Silver Borne," she also gave us a Mercy who had to struggle just as hard to keep the emotional aspects of her relationships intact. Mercy and Adam, as a couple, are really put through the ringer this go-round but, dang it, there is just something about those two together that makes my heart sing. Something that makes me want to stand up and cheer every time they get a moment of quiet together. Either that or giggle at every shared oddball joke. Adam has always been a big winner for me, but his selfless actions toward - and defense of - Mercy in Silver Borne, left me straight-up Adam's #1 Fan.

And although this is gonna sound like a obvious contradiction after my above statement, I was a tiny (very, very tiny) bit disappointed with Samuel's role in this novel. Ms. Briggs said that would be his book, but the end resolution for the demons he was staring down seemed a touch rushed. That said, I'm more than willing to overlook that small detail due to the enormous amount of goodness otherwise found in Silver Borne. Simply put: it's vintage Mercy. It's about a shapeshifting mechanic who, with brains and a heart, is always willing to go the distance to make things right for those she loves. I just love her to bits.

review taken from One Book At A Time http://onebooktime.blogspot.com

I thought I would prefer the books that tend to favor the vampires. But, I discovered I like Iron Kissed more than Blood Bound. The same goes for this one over Bone Crossed. The Fae continue you to amaze me. There's always something new to learn. You wouldn't think they could be the most dangerous mythical creatures, but I'm beginning to change my mind. While the stories with the vampires tend to scare me more than normal, the one's with the Fae seem to test your intelligence. They want to know if you've been paying attention. I love how Mercy doesn't fit all the typical rules. It seems no one knows quite how she will react or how things will effect her (including Mercy herself). I really loved watching her relationship with Adam and the pack grow. I was not surprised to discover the deep rooted animosity towards her within the pack. I also wasn't surprised to watch Sam struggle with his wolf. I've actually been waiting for it to come for a couple books now (especially since Mercy chose Adam). Overall, I loved it and can't wait for the next in the series!

I'm not usually into these werewolf kind of books but...a friend turned me on to these and well...I'll have to say I enjoyed this!
Patricia Briggs can write about werewolves in such a way that make them seem so real. They are wild and have a brutal, violent side, but their human side can be so vulnerable. She is really a remarkable writer.

Kind of thin... But decent.

This book was good, but thin on substance. A good, but not story advancing plot. This was the most uneventful book in the Mercy series so far actually. Not too much happened, and the characters weren't advanced very far with this plot. That said, it was a good book. Enough happened to keep you mostly satisfied, and nothing was really wrong with it. I would recommend it to someone, and you'll need the information in it for the next book I'm sure. So read it and keep up to snuff on your Mercy lore. LoL! The plot was interesting, but they just didn't seem to go deep enough with it. I'm waiting for the next one to hopefully be better.

Love Mercy, not so much this book

I really love this series, the first three books were downright phenomenal and it's easily one of the best supernatural series I've read. Yet the fifth installment just felt off. Most of the situations (and resolutions) came out of no where, along with the main characters inner problems that were completely off character for them, at least based on how I had read the earlier books. It felt as if she tried to shove as much in as she could and reach her deadline on time, which generally happens at this point in most series. Overall, there were definitely parts I enjoyed I will pick up the next book, just not the day it comes out. This book has left me without the original excitement I had for the series.

Okay this is promising to be a great year for us paranormal romance fans. Between this book, crimson drop by Jeanine Frost, and magic bleeds by Iilona Andrew I'm going to need to make space on my shelf. The only probelm is its taking forever for the books to come out but Im looking foward to all of them. This is a book that should be on everyone pre-order list.

The Mercy Thompson series is the fisrt series I really liked after reading all the Sookie Stackhouse stories. From the very first book it had me locked in. I love the characters! The stories are original and keep you interested through out the book. I read all five books in a week, I just couldn't put them down! If your looking for another series that will suck you in like Sookie than this is it!

Not what I was expecting

It was a quick read and I enjoyed it... but it wasn't as amazing as I'd hoped. The answer to Sam's "problems" come a little too coincidentally and randomly. I'm praying that the next book is a little bit more exciting. I was glad for the Anna mention (from Alpha and Omega), I really do love her character!

Not the authors best work:)

I really love the entire series so I was excited to find out that another Mercy Thompson Novel was upcoming. I felt that this book lacked most of the usual suspense found in Ms. Briggs novels. The story started off great but somehow got lost along the way. I did enjoy reading Silver Borne because it lets the readers feel Mercy's internal struggles as she recovers from the injuries she obtained in the last novel. I am not going to mention them here because you need to read it to find out. Overall it was a good book just not what I was expecting.

Her Best Yet

Patricia Briggs has pulled out yet another amazing Mercy story with this one, covering not only the thrilling preternatural aspects of the genre, but also dealing with the personal issues of Mercy, Adam and Sam and coming to a conclusion that will lead readers both satisfied and begging for more. This book is thrilling, exciting, and comes to a dramatic conclusion where Mercy does her thing and the day is saved, despite the dangers along the way. For those who have lovingly followed this series, Silver Borne is a book worthy of its predecessors.

Silver Bourne

I strongly recommend you read the previous books in the Mercy Thompson series (Moon Called, Blood Bound, Iron Kissed and Bone Crossed) prior to reading this book.

Truthfully, I dragged my feet when it came to reading this installment. I honestly wasn't looking forward to it, especially after my disappointment with the Alpha & Omega series. It was hard to tell where the series was headed and what exactly it had to offer. Turns out I couldn't have been more wrong; this series seems to get better and better with each installment. The story was so exciting; it completely had my attention riveted to each page. I was so engrossed I felt like I never wanted the book to end.

Mercy is the kind of heroine I love to read about. Even though she doesn't' have a lot of magic, she's still strong, brave and wields her intelligence like a deadly weapon.

I highly recommend this series to fellow dark urban fantasy readers and look forward to the next installment River Marked due out spring 2011.

Not the best book of the series

I personally found this book to be the weakest book in the series so far... I thought that the story line dragged and the action did't really happen till the last couple of chapters. ...I was also disappointed that Stephan did not make an appearence in this book, though he was mentioned. I would recommend you buy it if you have all the others in the series just to keep current with Mercy.

Not what I've come to expect from Briggs

Silver Borne was good but not exceptional like the first 4 books of the series in my opinion. It started off very good but by the middle I became bored. There were a lot of seemingly monumental moments/events that occured in Silver Borne but they turned out to be either trite or too contrived to be believable. Despite the aformentioned it's still a worthwhile read. If you're a real fan of Mercy Thompson there would be no way to talk you out of reading this anyway. Just don't expect greatness!
