Moon Called

“Mooncalled” reads like a firecracker that's gone off in the urban fantasy genre section. The book is a mish-mash of clever bits you know and love, but it is presented in a ‘nice' way. 

Mercedes, or Mercy for short, is a mechanic who is a skinwalker, which means she can transform into a coyote at will. When an inexperienced werewolf shows up on her doorstep, she must find out who's pack he belongs to. This path sees her become embroiled with her past once more and stirs up quite a fizz among werewolves and other creatures that go bump in the night. 

Mercy is incredibly smart, cunning, and giving. These traits are pretty unique to the genre, and I was surprised at how much the author focuses on the character and the history of werewolves in general.

Overall, it's entertaining, and you can tell the author is having a great time writing it. For every bit of action and circumstance, there are equal parts building on the werewolf lore as well as enhancing the small side characters. 

I wish there would have been a bit more to the location descriptions, but there was just enough variety to set the mood. The novel length was just right, and it all seems like a grand setup for future books in the series that I, for one, will be checking out in the future.
