Moon Called by Patricia Briggs Ace, January, 2006. Paperback, 440 pages. ISBN: 0441013813 Ordering information: Amazon.com | Amazon.co.uk 
Mercedes Thompson is one of the Otherworld: a group of shapeshifters, shamans
and vampires who exist side by side with the normal world, but who
try to avoid detection. As modern technology advances, it's becoming
harder and harder for these paranormal citizens to hide. Mercedes (Mercy to her
friends) is a shaman and coyote shapeshifter who makes her living as a car mechanic.
She gets along with the local werewolf pack and she works on
the ailing VW bush of Stefan, a local vampire. When the alpha of the
local werewolf is attacked and nearly killed, Mercy becomes involved in
a inter-pack and inter-species struggle over whether to "come out" as paranormals
to the rest of normal society. It's a question fraught with danger for
the paranormals who would rather live in the shadows than end up in a government
lab being experimented on. Intrigue, magic, fast action and a likeable
heroine make this a compulsively readable new entry in the growing urban fantasy
genre.
