Iron Kissed and Bone Crossed / Patricia Briggs (Mercy Thompson novels: 3 and 4). 287 and 309 pp. respectively.
Finishing up my re-read of this series. Bone Crossed, especially, demonstrates one of the strengths of this series--Mercy deals with fallout from events in previous books, including something really horrible that happens to her in Iron Kissed. Unlike a lot of urban fantasy series, events actually progress, and relationships actually change. Mercy chooses to act in certain ways and then deals with the consequences of her actions. In Iron Kissed she chooses to remain loyal to her fae mentor, despite potentially lethal consequences for him and for her. In Bone Crossed she deals with the fallout of an action she chose to take against the local vampires in book 2. In both of them she deals with her potential romantic relationships with Samuel and Adam.
