The eleventh book in Briggs' Mercy Thompson series (after Silence Fallen, 2017) performs as well as any of its predecessors. Mercy, as the declared protector of the Tri-Cities and wife of Adam Hauptman, the Columbia Basin pack's alpha wolf, faces a dark coven of witches intent on displacing the current witch family. While Elizaveta, head of the Tri-City witches, is still in Europe after having helped to free Mercy from Milan's master vampire, her family is attacked. Elizaveta isn't quite the victim they think she is at first, and because Briggs has invested in complex characters throughout the series, Mercy and Adam face some hard choices with what they find in the witch's home. Throughout the series, Briggs has presented empathetic and multi-dimensional characters, so when one falls from grace, the reader isn't necessarily surprised but they are emotionally invested. Readers will feel for Mercy as she deals with these very human non-humans and must make choices for the greater good while balancing her allies' and foes' frailties. Fans of the series will be satisfied with Storm Cursed.--Dawn Kuczwara Copyright 2019 Booklist
