None of the female wolves like her (as fore mentioned) and it just smacks of stereotypical woman-on-woman hate, especially when you find out the reason. She’s constantly talked down to by Adam, her alpha wolf neighbor, and the other males in his pack. So I don’t blame her for hightailing it out as soon as she could. Werewolves are misogynistic as fuck, and along with that comes the internalized type directed at her by the she-wolves due to an aspect of Mercy’s walker nature, which seems unnecessarily catty in complete antithesis to canine traits. Unfortunately, aspects of her nature haven’t always had positive results, since she was forced to flee her foster home (and hometown) because of it.Īs much as I love Mercy as a character, I hate the world she’s written in. With her fingers (or paws) in so many ponds, Mercy acts like a liaison between werewolves, vampires, fey, and humans, since she can’t be counted among any of them and can therefore serve as a sort of neutral party. Mercedes Thompson walks two worlds: one as a first class mechanic (yes…she’s a mechanic named “Mercedes”) while the other is a bit more supernatural. And Mercy’s connection to those things is about to get her into some serious hot water. This is the world of Mercy Thompson, one that looks a lot like ours but is populated by those things that go bump in the night. Mercy’s next-door neighbor is a werewolf. She also happens to be a walker, a magical being with the power to shift into a coyote at will. Mercedes Thompson, aka Mercy, is a talented Volkswagen mechanic living in the Tri-Cities area of Washington. Genre: Fantasy, Urban Fantasy, Supernatural, Paranormal Romance
