Neither Mercy nor Adam fit my interpretation but they did fit Patty's description of them from the books.

It may be, as Patti pointed out above, that I didn't take into account the omniscient factor, but the story just felt too obvious and predictable to me. Pick up the Mercy books again, definitely, but I think you could skip this story.Beahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17455117466213636141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3394910946143126860.post-9795450476794042222015-09-15T11:34:48.552-04:002015-09-15T11:34:48.552-04:00I don't read graphic novels, but my eldest dau...I don't read graphic novels, but my eldest daughter and eldest granddaughter do sometimes, so if you had raved about it, I would've passed on the rec.<br />I do, on the other hand, enjoy Patricia Briggs and have read all the Mercy books except the last two, and also the first in the other series..name escapes me without googling it, was a while ago.
