Anyone on here know/like Patricia Briggs?

[Trina Higgs]

Patricia Briggs is one of my favorite authors and I would like to see if anyone else knows of or likes her body of work?

[ebethina]

I don't think I have heard of her before. What kinds of books has she written

Hi ebethina, thank you so much for asking. She is one of my favorite authors actually. If you like Fantasy then she is an author I recommend people at least try. Her most popular series is a Urban Fantasy called the Mercy Thompson series that also has a branch off called Alpha and Omega. They are more of a werewolf fantasy with a wide range of folk lore and mystery mix together. She also has other series with different mythical creatures, magic, and realms.

Hi Reneputt, I agree that her books are well written and easy to read. I also think her different characters are believable and relatable.

Absolutely adore her books. I started reading them in my teens, and haven't really read anything she's put out over the past five years. But now that I've finally found a stable home (knock on wood), I've started re-reading Mooncalled gain

Hello erjonas, being stable really helps you be able to get into and appreciate the stories a lot more. Is moon called your favorite? What in particular do you really like about Patricia Briggs?

Hi Trina Higgs. Oh yes, it is decidedly an improvement in my life.

I am not sure which one is my favourite, but the Mercy Thompson series is decidedly my favourite series of her. I've also read the first book in her alpha/omega series, which I didn't find as engaging.

I think what makes me like her books the most, is that she has a kick-ass female protagonist whose main goal is not about falling in love (don't get me wrong here, I'm a sucker for a good romance novel). But she is generally really good at creating believable characters.

Hello again erjonas, I'm a sucker for a good romance novel as well. I would agree that I don't care for the Alpha and Omega series as much but I do like the insight that you get with Bran, Charles and Sam. You really get to see what their lives are like. I like Mercy and Adam as a couple better all the same though. Patricia Briggs does make some pretty kick butt main characters and as you said characters that a believable. If you're a fan of Beauty and the Beast story, she did a stand alone book with that kind of tale in mind. It was different but a nice different.

Thank you Zupanatural , I am glad you find this thread as entertaining as you do. I did want to create something that did so. Do you know of Patricia Briggs or of her work?

Oh, this sounds very much like something I would read. Do you happen to know the title of said book?

That particular books is called "The Hob's Bargain" by Patricia Briggs. I honestly wish she would write more of this world and characters but maybe someday. All the same though, it's still a good read.

OMG Yes!!! I've read all the Mercy Thompson books back to back and the Alpha & Omega saga. Love them both and recommend. They're wonderful reads for the werewolf lovers.

[JodyVamp]

I've read a couple of the Mercy Thompson books when they were recommended since I love Kim Harrison's Hollow series. I'm not going to build a collection in my personal library, but I do keep an eye out at the library for them now.
