    About this audiobook

    In the #1 New York Times bestselling Mercy Thompson novels, the coyote shapeshifter has found her voice in the werewolf pack. But when Mercy's bond with the pack-and her mate-is broken, she'll learn what it truly means to be alone...
     
    Attacked and abducted in her home territory, Mercy finds herself in the clutches of the most powerful vampire in the world, taken as a weapon to use against alpha werewolf Adam and the ruler of the Tri-Cities vampires. In coyote form, Mercy escapes-only to find herself without money, without clothing, and alone in the heart of Europe...
     
    Unable to contact Adam and the rest of the pack, Mercy has allies to find and enemies to fight, and she needs to figure out which is which. Ancient powers stir, and Mercy must be her agile best to avoid causing a war between vampires and werewolves, and between werewolves and werewolves. And in the heart of the ancient city of Prague, old ghosts rise...

      European diplomacy

      This was great because Mercy et al. weren't on their home turf. The European vamps were up to intrigue and trickery and it was a fun adventure.
    • 5/5
      Patricia Briggs, you have done it again! I can not say I have followed this book series from the beginning, this is book 10, so stop now if you haven’t read the rest, but I love this series.This follows Mercy after she is kidnapped by the Lord of the Night, and all the adventure that ensues! I will not say more than that. Being able to experience the Lord of the Night was fantastic! I will say that this isn’t my favorite in the series, and I love Adam and Mercy and want a book with them together, the whole time. A whole book.Go, read this fantasy novel that makes you think. Think about everything. Do it.
    • 5/5
      I love this series this book did not disappoint. After reading he whole mecryverse books I should’ve figured out “Matt Smith” way earlier! I absolutely LOVE Adam’s POV chapters in every book
    • 3/5
      Mercy is almost killed and is abducted and manages to survive and while Adam isn't always literally there for her, he is there for her.Mercy's view of Prague is not bad, but Adams view of Italy could be anywhere.
    • 5/5
      This series is consistently strong. I could read the whole series over from book one. Actually, I want to do that.I love Mercy's strength, courage, cleverness, magic, and her trickster heritage. I love Adam's loyalty and devotion and his wolf. I love the web of friendships and community they've built that help keep them strong. All are well and fully displayed in this novel.Such a fun read. I loved being able to get lost in a book again - stayed up too late reading more than once, in a crazy busy week that really could have done with more sleep.A surprise at the end made me re-read several scenes looking for hints. My read is this was truly a surprise to almost all the characters, but I'd really like to ask the author about that if I ever got the chance.
    • 4/5
      Loved this book! It was great to read chapters from Adam's perspective, and to see him getting outside of his comfort zone with some vampire diplomacy. Not all of my favourite characters were in it, but the ones who were were at their best, particularly Honey, Marsilia, Elizaveta, and Matt Smith (who is not the doctor). Adam and Mercy were seperately awesome, Libor, Bonarata and the goblins were great new characters, and the major villains were appropriately frightening and creepy.I would have liked to see more of a build-up around the Golem, but I also thought it was appropriate that his place in the plot was a surprise, and I'm not sure it would have been possible to have both of those things at once. I missed the presence of the Pack, particularly Ben and Warren, but it was definitely the right choice not to try to shoehorn too many of them into the main plot. I'm sure they'll be back in the next novel (Storm Cursed, coming out March 2019!)

      Review courtesy of All Things Urban Fantasy.allthingsuf.comSILENCE FALLEN proves that time and again, Mercy Thompson is a delight to tag along with. Even after all these years, Briggs manages to surprise and enthrall with every page. While SILENCE FALLEN reads more like a "monster of the week" episode than anything driving the world forward, that makes this installment of the series no less enjoyable to read.Mercy's pack has expanded to the point where sometimes I need a few reminders to remember the newer members, but that brief orientation didn't slow down this story a whit. I was particularly pleased by how quickly (and smoothly) Mercy was operating with autonomy, something this independent coyote does best. I didn't expect the "big bads", and found both the magic and political aspects of the story delightful. It's hard to go into detail without spoilers, but fans of the series will find SILENCE FALLEN to be an exercise in both Mercy's and Adam's strengths, with a more than a few cameos and surprises thrown in for spice.A wonderful romp, Mercy is a joy to follow as she problem solves, charms, and slips her way through trouble. Much like Ilona Andrews, Briggs lavishes detail in her world building, which will thrill both process nerds and history buffs alike.Sexual Content: References to rape, a non-explicit sex scene.

      I was so excited to read a new Mery Thompson. I read it in a few hours. I love this series. Silence Fallen was amazing. I literally couldn't put it down. I love all the old characters and enjoyed meeting a few new ones. Patricia Briggs does not disappoint.
    • 5/5
      The latest Mercy Thompson novel finds Mercy kidnapped by vampires, taken to Italy, and dropped right in the middle of a bunch of twisted plots. She is alone, cut off from her mate bond by magic, and at the mercy of a very old vampire. She manages to escape and then finds herself alone in Italy without clothing or her passport. And a coyote doesn't blend in very well in Europe!Meanwhile, once Adam knows where she is, he assembles a team to go to Italy to get her back - no matter what it takes. I loved catching up with a lot of the characters I have come to love in the earlier books in this series. I love the strong relationship between Mercy and Adam. I also love the strong relationships that Mercy has with a number of her friends from all the various supernatural groups. This episode had a lot of vampire politics woven into it and explained a lot more about the politics that has turned the Tri-Cities and the Columbia Basin Pack into a safe zone for supernaturals. This was a fast-paced, action-filled novel that kept me reading late into the night.
    • 4/5
      This book redeemed the series a bit for me, Briggs didn't assume we remembered the recent additions to the cast of characters (Aiden) and the lightness and humor were back.I just wish she would stop using the Mercy gets kidnapped, but while Adam is saving her, she saves herself plot line. I do love Mercy and Adam's relationship; why can't we spend a little more time with them together.
    • 5/5
      Great book. I love all of Patricia Brigs books in this series but this, for me, was one of the best. Taking place mostly in Europe, in Italy and Prague, there was action, new and interesting characters, and lots of glimpses of Prague the city and its history. Mercey was at her best and even though most of the rest of the pack weren't in the book, there were cameos for a few, and the the new locale and characters added freshness.
    • 5/5
      Wow. I like Mercy - mostly - but this may be the best one yet. Pretty standard start, with Mercy attacked and kidnapped (Mercy's in trouble, so what else is new). The villain is new and...complicated. But the whole thing with Mercy loose in Europe, and tripping over a whole bunch of unfinished matters there, is great. Particularly the bit Gary Laughingdog left for her - sheesh! Libor is also a very complicated person - there are a lot of them in this story. Old supernaturals tend to get that way. A lot of not quite saying what's expressed, a lot of outright manipulation. I am highly amused to think that with all the plots within plots, Coyote had the last word (or first), without even being there. A very rich story; a lot of insight into some characters who have been around the whole time, and some who are newer. The jumping back and forth in time only bothered me once - when we get two Mercy chapters (intentionally) out of order; that was annoying. Cheating, sort of - done purely for the cliffhanger. The rest was pretty clear (and yes, the chapter headings helped). Bran's part was interesting, but I was annoyed - that was author fiat. I'm not sure who was fooled and who was just going along with it. I was definitely fooled, though I did notice he was older and had more tricks up his sleeve than appeared at first. Love it, makes me want to read more in this series...I may do a partial reread, at that.
    • 3/5
      A few things in this book didn't add up. I even went back and did some rereading because of a surprise reveal on a character trying to see if I missed something. Nope. Nothing missed. The reveal was just completely out of left field, without any real hooks to make it solid. Also, there seemed to be too much disconnect between the chapter's flow. I didn't understand the reason behind having some chapters earlier in time than the latest chapters. I didn't see any reason why it was done. It didn't do anything for the story beyond creating cliffhanger moments. There were many other things about this book that didn't seem right, but I don't like to hash out everything wrong with a book, so let's just say that it's subpar to some of the earlier books in this series. However, this is Mercy, so I still enjoyed the story even with it's flaws. It will be bought to go along with all the other Mercedes Thompson books I own, but mostly just because it goes with the series. Fingers crossed for a better one next time, maybe a finale to the series?
    • 5/5
      This book! Oh how I loved this book. This is such an amazing series that seems to be getting better and better with each book. I started reading this book the moment I had it downloaded on my ereader and finished it less than 24 hours later. I just couldn't put it down. I had to know that things would work out for Mercy, Adam, and the whole gang. This is the kind of book that I just love to read.This is the tenth book in the Mercy Thompson series which I do recommend reading in order. The relationships between the characters have grown and developed over the course of the series and readers really need that knowledge to get the most out of this book. The series is absolutely amazing so you really don't want to miss any of it anyway.This story is a little different than what I have come to expect from this series. Different in a good way though. Much of this book occurs away from home and I have to admit that this worried me. Have no fear. The awesomeness of this series is still there it just happens in a different location. The key characters from the series all do play a part in this book even though it occurs far from home. I actually think that the change in setting was a plus in this book since it added a new and unknown element.Another difference that I was thrilled to see in this book is that part of the story is told from Adam's point of view. I was incredibly excited to get to read some of this story from Adam's perspective. We have had the opportunity to see so much of Adam over the course of the series and I found it really nice to finally get to spend some time in his head. This story really only would work well with another point of view and I am really glad that it came from Adam.This book starts off with a bang. Actually, it starts off with cookies and then quickly gets exciting when Mercy is kidnapped and taken halfway around the world to Prague. Mercy is thought to be very powerful by her kidnappers and she must figure out how to outsmart them in order to save herself. The kidnappers have a head start but Adam isn't too far behind and he is willing to do what it takes to save his mate. There are some pretty awesome vampires, werewolves, and ghosts among other things. There were a few surprises along the way and at least one twist that totally floored me.I would highly recommend this book to others. This is a book that I will definitely be reading again. Probably quite a few times. This is a truly great series that is dear to my heart. I can't wait to read more books about Mercy, Adam, and the gang as soon as I can get my hands on them.I received an advance reader edition of this book from Berkley Publishing Group via NetGalley.

      Another great addition to the series, but quite different from those previous. I loved the international travel, the expansion and new depth of the Mercy Thompson universe. However there were times I felt some parts of the plot were over explained, while others were under explained. Regardless, still a fun read!
    • 4/5
      I love the series. This one is my least favorite of them so far. I can't put my finger on exactly why, maybe because there was less pack interaction? However, it is still a good book to read.

      Chaos is her super power

      Mercy is marvelous and of course, chaos really is her super power, no matter what else she managed to do. But somehow, her chaos always makes things better.
    • 4/5
      What I love about this series is that you never know where the next book is going to take you. This time, it's Prague. This time is all about the vampire politics and various means of escaping. It was pleasing. It wasn't as mind-blowingly adventurous as some of the previous books -- not quite as edge of my seat, not quite as interestingly political (to me), but it was a solid and highly enjoyable read. And it's very exciting to see the development of Mercy's ghost powers -- I'm very interested to see where that will lead.

      Also? She mentions my favorite pastry of all time -- the kolache, and it made deeply, to the core, delighted. Other people know about kolaches. My life is complete.
    • 5/5
      This book starts with Mercy being kidnapped by the Lord of Night. He has been deliberate misinformation about her and he is convinced that she is the most powerful supernatural in the Tri-Cities. Mercy escapes quite quickly and finds herself in Europe far away from everyone with not even the clothes on her back. It doesn’t take long for her to get into contact with everyone and they are racing to Italy to get to her. Once Adam is there with Marcilia, Stephen, Elizaveta and a few wolves the political dance comes in the forefront and things must be dealt with instead of just getting revenge and scooping Mercy up from where she has hidden herself.
      Mercy on the other hand has found the local wolves but has also found local supernatural trouble. This will surprise no reader of the series since chaos finds her wherever she goes. Granted when she does find trouble she fixes it in her own special way that does more good than harm for the final outcome.

      A fun fast read and now to wait for the next book.

      The question was asked what did I like about the book? The trick ending!!!! It really was a treat. Was I expecting it? Naw, Nope, Nada!!!! Would I love to TELL what happened at the end? YES, YES, YEP!!!

      Would I do that to you all? Nope. Excellent audiobook and it is fast moving. CHECK IT OUT!!!!! Oh yeah I have read or listened to all of Mercy's books so you know I am awaiting the next one. Adios!
    • 5/5
      To say that I am a fan of the Mercy Thompson series is really an understatement. I have read every book and that actually makes me potentially a great critic. Where other series can start to get stale or predictable this series has remained strong! Silence Fallen steered away from the formula and gave us new features to look forward to in future installments. Fan-tast-ic!Mercy is back and this time she is not the one getting herself into a predicament. She was abducted as part of a power play that has many facets and is vague at best, in the beginning. At the start of the story you are left in puzzlement as to why she has been taken but I liked that. There was a real air of mystery to this installment. This story had Mercy truly being an innocent victim and not the one getting herself into hot water. It is a different take on the status quo and I loved it!The bond between Mercy and Adam is rock solid by this point in the series as is her bond with the pack. The bond between Mercy and Adam is the mating bond where they can speak to each other or feel each other over distances. Because Adam is a werewolf and alpha, Mercy is also connected to the pack’s bond and it works similar to the bond she shares with Adam. She can also draw strength from his bond. So, when Mercy is taken and the bond is “cut off” it leads to a lot of freaking out. Adam and his wolf are truly tested in this story. It is also disconcerting for Mercy as she is faced with the realization of how much she has come to rely on that bond.Mercy manages to escape her situation only to find out she is completely alone and in danger. What this scenario does for her character is just fantastic. She has to go old school in a lot of ways and I loved the glimpse of the old Mercy. She also learns more about her abilities and has to rely on and trust in her new awareness. Great character growth as well as the introduction of new characters to this series. Even with the help of her European friends Mercy manages to get herself into quite the pickle and there were some moments that had my heart in my throat!In case you were not aware, Mercy can interact with the departed, heck yeah! Now that she is alone Mercy must come to rely on any aid that is offered. Lots of ghosts and ghostly interactions make up a portion of this story. Not to mention that this story has the character of The Golem of Prague! I loved that this legend was brought to life in this story. It was uniquely done and perfectly executed.Adam is really the star of this book this time around. In order to find his mate, he enters into situations that he would have before found completely intolerable. In addition, alliances are made that would have previously been seen as impossible. Marsilia is the mistress of the Tri-Cities seethe, think Queen of a vampire coven and has a big role in this book. In this role, surprisingly, she is not the bad gal. Normally Marsilia is synonymous with evil traitorous wench, so this was a surprising turn of events and I think I liked it. It remains to be seen where this alliance will go.As always the ending was satisfying and left me wanting more! I can’t wait for the next book in the series. My fingers are crossed on a few threads that I picked up that could be woven into the next story and I am hoping that they may come to fruition. This is a book and series that I highly recommend!This review is based on a complimentary book I received from NetGalley. It is an honest and voluntary review. The complimentary receipt of it in no way affected my review or rating.
    • 4/5
      SILENCE FALLEN had a different feel to me than the other books in the Mercy Thompson series. For most of the book, Mercy is on her own as she escapes her kidnapper and navigates a country she doesn't know on the path to safety. It started off really slow, but did pick up speed and explored some of the little known about abilities that Mercy possesses.I was constantly left in suspense and the twists and turns thrown into SILENCE FALLEN were spectacular. The allies that come along for the ride to save Mercy couldn't have been better picked and I enjoyed reading from Adam's POV throughout the story—although I like the couple much better when they aren't apart.We have been through TEN Mercy books so far, I hope we get many many more. I enjoyed the different environment that SILENCE FALLEN brought to the table, but I really do look forward to seeing Mercy back on her home turf again and among her pack. * This book was provided free of charge from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
    • 5/5
      I’ve enjoyed every book in the Mercy series, some more than others. This quickly rose to the top as one of my favorites. I like when Mercy gets embroiled in supernatural politics and the story has as much intrigue and guile as action scenes.Mercy gets kidnapped by a big bad vampire – one who is equivalent to the Marrok in influence and power. Since she is separated from Adam for much of the book, so Briggs handles this by having the story alternate between his and Mercy’s POV. I liked this a lot because it provided a different perspective on events. One of the best things about this character is that despite getting into so much trouble, Mercy is never just a damsel in distress. She has agency, and it’s recognized by other characters. This story moved at a brisk pace, with excellent character interactions and solid action scenes. Highly recommended.
