Iron Kissed by Patricia Briggs is the third book in her Mercy Thompson series. After the loan of fae weapons for hunting vampires in the previous book, Mercy owes her friends Zee and Uncle Mike a favor. A series of murders on the fae reservation with no magical traces left behind has the local fae council stumped, so they ask Mercy to come check the scents at the various sites to try to identify the killer. Mercy successfully identifies the intruder as the human guard who had let them onto the reservation; but when Zee and Uncle Mike go to his home to confront him, they find him dead, and Zee is arrested for his murder. The gray lords who rule the fae seem content to let Zee take the blame to quickly close the case, but Mercy is convinced that he is innocent and is determined to prove it. She soon discovers that several fae artifacts were also stolen from the homes of the victims and focuses her sight on a human group who are against the fae looking for an accomplice to the murderers and turns to the werewolves for help when she finds herself outmatched.
As with the previous books in the series, a well written fun summer read that I would recommend for ages 18 and up.
