Part of Mercy Thompson, book 6

Mercy Thompson's wedding to Alpha werewolf Adam doesn't unfold as expected, but their ten-day honeymoon promises to make up for it. They head to the Columbia River banks for camping, just the two of them, using a well-equipped trailer provided by the fae. Mercy knows fae gifts always come with hidden costs. As a walker, a unique type of shapeshifter, Mercy can see ghosts, though her deceased father's spirit has never appeared to her before. Now he visits her for the first time. Something malevolent awakens in the Columbia River's depths, killing innocent people. Other walkers emerge to make contact with Mercy, forcing her to embrace her walker heritage. She must confront the legendary creature known as the river devil to save lives and protect the world from this ancient evil.
