YMMV / Wolves of Mercy Falls Series

• Alternate Character Interpretation: Grace and Sam are supporting protagonists. They spend most of each book ignoring their problems. Most of the major conflicts in the series thus far are resolved by others, most notably Isabel. In Shiver, she comes up with the idea to cure lycanthropy. In Linger, she's instrumental in helping Cole find eventual redemption by saving Grace's life.
• Fourth Wall Myopia: While the reader is fully aware that the wolves are people and have no control over their actions, most of the residents of Mercy Falls don't have this knowledge. All they know is that they are living with a surprisingly large yet elusive wolf pack that lives uncomfortably close to humans and semi-regularly attack people. Any possibility of coexistence should have gone out the window years ago after Grace was pulled off her swingset and dragged into the woods and almost eaten. The hunt at the beginning of Shiver is depicted as horrible from the wolves' perspective but it is fully justified as a person was outright killed by them. From any other viewpoint, Grace and Olivia would be Too Dumb to Live for retaining positive opinions of the wolves after being attacked and bitten while Mr. Culpeper would be lauded as a hero for protecting his community.
• Moral Event Horizon: Sam's parents slashed his wrists in the bathtub in hopes of killing him since he couldn't control being a werewolf.
