Not a single character got enough dedicated page time, and one’s character got major “development” except for the obvious. Adam and Mercy get stabbed, shot at, slashed, poisoned, and even pumpkined in the head. Soul Taken incudes kidnappings, bodies, vampiric grudges, Adam’s new monster, werewolf issues, boyfriend issues, anti-supernatural hate, and a mythical artifact.
There is such a thing as too much action. I can only hope we get more over time as his obsession with Mercy eclipses. In Soul Taken, we got to learn a huge portion of Wulfe’s story: who turned him, his friends, and why he is less than stable. However, Wulfe was a young man (teen?) when he was turned, and there is a certain childlike quality to him. He is a warlock and a vampire, and no one seems to know the depth of his powers. His motives are unclear, his alliances (except to Marsilia) are muddy, and his mental state s questionable at best. Wulfe has always been one of the most complex characters in the Mercyverse. I love the politics, the alliances, and games that the vampires play and the werewolves walk all over. Then you have Underhill forming a door in Adam’s backyard, Sherwood’s identity (and strength) coming to light, and all of this in one book packs a hell of a punch. In pops the goblins, a group of Fae, who offer an alliance with the werewolves going forward. When Wulfe goes missing, bodies begin appearing, a Reaper on the loose, and there is a threat that Adam’s werewolf pack will be blamed for it, there is a lot at stake for Mercy to get to the bottom of the mystery. I need to figure out what’s going on before the next body on the ground is mine.” The farther I follow Wulfe’s trail, the more twisted-and darker-the path becomes. Has the Harvester returned to the Tri-Cities, reaping souls with his cursed sickle? Or is he just a character from a B horror movie and our enemy is someone else? As alive as a vampire can be, anyway.īut Wulfe isn’t the only one who has disappeared. But, warned that his disappearance might bring down the carefully constructed alliances that keep our pack safe, my mate and I must find Wulfe-and hope he’s still alive. Since he’s deadly, possibly insane, and his current idea of “fun” is stalking me, some may see it as no great loss.
