Patricia Briggs continues her Mercy Thompson books with Bone Crossed. Mercy is part Native American, and also happens to be able to change shape at will. No, she's not a werewolf. She's a walker--not controlled by the moon, but magic. Oh, and she sees dead people.

The novel takes off right after the close of Iron Kissed (the third Mercy Thompson novel). Mercy is vulnerable, tentatively accepting her relationship with local pack-leader Adam Hauptman. But recovering from traumatic events is not as easy as she wishes.
