Mercedes (Mercy) Thompson is a Native American shapeshifter that was raised by werewolves. The books, 6 in total so far, have followed Mercy through her toils and tribulations as a mechanic in the Tri-Cities of Washington state when some supernatural creatures have been forced to come out to the public. 7 books have been planned for this series, with a new installment releasing each year. The latest, River Marked, came out in March 2011. The last of the planned books is expected (if the "1 a year" schedule is followed) to come out in 2012.
Throughout the series, Mercy interacts with other supernatural creatures that just can't seem to leave their drama somewhere other than her lap. Old and new lovers, friends, enemies, frenemies... they all have problems and Mercy seems to find herself embroiled in it all. Werewolves, vampires, witches, fae, zombies, and creatures galore screw Mercy's life up in each book.
Patricia Briggs sold the film rights to Moon Called, Blood Bound, and Iron Kissed to 50 Canon Entertainment back in 2008 for a reported "mid 6 figures" range. I haven't seen any new developments about this since, so only time will tell if we'll get to see who they cast as the mega-hawt Adam Hauptman, brooding Samuel Cornick, and dangerously sexy Brit Ben from Moon Called. I'm also curious to know how they would deal with the "shifting" aspect. I would hope they would make the change a beautiful thing, a la Blood and Chocolate from 2007. Again, time will tell.

There's also a comic book version recently, too.
Really? I didn't know that. A lot of my favorite books are getting comic versions lately. Or are they calling them graphic novels? I seem to remember hearing about graphic novels of some classics being made to keep kids interested in reading. :)
