Blood Bound - Patricia Briggs

Blood Bound is the second installment in the Mercy Thompson series. Just like the first, I had a hard time getting into it. 

Mercy is a changeling. She can turn into a coyote. I'm not sure, but that may be a reason I had a hard time. There are a lot of weres in it. And a few vampires. Maybe I need vampires as the focus instead of werewolves to really get into it?

At the end of the first book, Mercy hit it off with the Alpha male. They shared a kiss. Yeah, a kiss! That's all. Well here, nothing has progressed with them. They almost kiss. She kisses another were. But really, nothing too exciting.

This installment had more vampires in it than the last. A sorcerer has turned into a vampire and is causing havoc. Mercy helps to find him, and eventually kills him. And while it was great to get a new perspective on sorcerers and vampires, it was slow moving.

Then there was a rogue were, that Mercy assists to in finding a pack. What was that for? It was thrown in there. Maybe it continues in the third? I'm not sure.
