Blood Bound (Mercy Thompson, Book 2) by Patricia Briggs
Book Two of the Mercy Thompson series picks up pretty quickly after the first book and starts right in on the action.
Mercy is an auto mechanic and a walker that can turn into a coyote but raised by werewolves and trained by a fae. To add to that Mercy is actually friends with Stefan, one of the local vampires. When Stefan asks Mercy to accompany him to confront a new vampire in town things start to get really prickly.
The new vampire is also 'demon-ridden' and a sorcerer. The demon-vamp causes all sorts of discord just by his presence and can affect the minds of other vampires. Only Mercy really has a prayer of stopping him and she is not exactly the kind of chick that goes looking for that kind of action. But with the werewolves and the vampires nearly incapacitated Mercy steps up the plate with a little help from the fae.
Mercy is a terrific heroine because she is not a know-it-all, kick-@ss, overly sexual character. She is portrayed as very human and seems to only manage to get herself out of situations through luck, bravado and sheer perspicacity. This unperfection makes her very endearing and Mercy continues to grow as a character.
