I wasn't sure if I wanted to read this book, going by the awful and ugly cover. But many people at Amazon were raving about it, so I decided to take a chance.
I am very glad that I did, as I found it to be very enjoyable.
Mercedes (Mercy) Thompson is half Native American, and has an interesting legacy from her father - she is a walker. This means that she is a shape changer and can can change between human and coyote forms at will. While she is supernatural, she was born that way - she is not any sort of were, and her abilities are not tied to the moon.
She is a small business owner, and works hard. She owns a small garage in eastern Washington state, where she repairs imported cars, primarily German brands.
She lives a quiet a life as possible, given that some of her customers and neighbors are werewolves and vampires. She attends church regularly, though she dislikes the symbolism of the crucifix (as a form of torture and execution), and wears a necklace with a sheep pendant rather than a cross - for the Lamb of God.
She is working away at her garage one day, when a polite runaway teenager wanders in, looking for a temporary job. He also happens to be a werewolf. When she decides to help him out, she has no idea that this will involve her in quite a mess...
