Blood Bound by Patricia Briggs

Blood Bound by Patricia Briggs is the second book in her Mercy Thompson fantasy series, following Moon Called. Mercedes (Mercy) Thompson is a hard working small business owner - she owns and works in a small garage which fixes German imports. She is half Native American, and inherited something pretty interesting from the father who died before she was born - she is a walker - which means she has the ability to change forms between human and coyote at will. She was born this way - she is not a were of any sort - and it is not dependent upon the moon.

Mercy has friends and neighbors and customers who have other supernatural abilities - though none of them are walkers. Some are fae, others werewolves, and some are vampires.

Now then, when vampires first came to North America from Europe, they warred against the walkers. Walkers apparently had some sort of abilities (of which Mercy is completely ignorant) that made them very dangerous to vampires.

So when a huge threat arises against the local vampires - a demon possessed sorcerer which some vampire has been stupid enough to turn - Mercy's friend Stephan asks for Mercy's help.

What results will bring huge danger to everyone - from the humans to the vampires to the werewolves - and especially to one little coyote lady...
