In Their Own Words: Patricia Briggs on ‘Blood Bound’

Patricia says:

Blood Bound by Patricia Briggs UK pbBlood Bound is the second of my series about Mercy Thompson, a coyote-shapeshifter VW mechanic who lives in a world where werewolves and vampires hunt the night. Moon Called, the first book, introduced the werewolves. Blood Bound focuses on the vampires. Mercy owes one of them a favor and it’s time to pay-up – but the cost turns out to be more than either of them expected.

One of the things I most love about urban fantasy is that the monsters can really be monsters. I didn’t want my vampires to be just people with fangs – they had to (forgive the pun) have a bite to them.

Blood Bound - book two of Patricia Briggs’ Mercy Thompson series is out now in paperback in the UK.

    Hi Jan - That sounds like a great idea :) - but don’t forget to start with ‘Moon Called’ (published last month) and keep an eye out for ‘Iron Kissed’ (which we’re publishing next month) as well.
