Sidekick Showcase, previously known as Sidekick Saturday, is a weekly bookish meme, hosted here by Jaclyn at JC's Book Haven. There are many secondary characters that are as great as the primaries. In some cases, the sidekicks actually steal the show and you like them better than the heroine or hero. Maybe they didn't have enough page time for how great they were. Anyone can play along! I will post my Sidekicks on Saturday, then whichever day during the week that you would like to post yours, you can put your link in on my page. Just do the following:
• Choose a sidekick *or someone other than the hero or heroine* that you would like to put in the spotlight that fits in the week's topic
• Share a picture (if you can) and information about the character
• Give the title and author of a book the character can be found in
• Please don't include too many spoilers when describing why the character is such a great sidekick
• The day of your post, put your link in below and grab the code for your post so you can see the others that post their's throughout the week as well

My choice is Warren
The Mercy Thompson Series by Patricia Briggs
My choice is Warren
The Mercy Thompson Series by Patricia Briggs
Warren is the 3rd in the Tri-Cities Werewolf Pack. Dominant enough to be the 2nd, but with a stigma hanging over his head of being homosexual, he remains humbly in the 3rd rank. He was a straight-up Texan cowboy, and that's the way I always picture him while reading. I love Warren! His movie nights with Mercy and Kyle are always so much fun, and he just has a quiet strength about him that makes him such a fun character to read. He's a true best friend to Mercy, and someone that she counts on to have her back. He has that Southern gentleman charm, and he's not hard to please.
Quotes:
Iron Kissed-
A second floor window opened, and Kyle stuck his head and shoulders out so he could look down at us. “If you two are finished playing Cowboy and Indian out there, some of us would like to get their beauty sleep.”
I looked at Warren. “You heard ‘um Kemo Sabe. Me go to my little wigwam and get ‘um shut-eye.”
“How come you always get to play the Indian?” whined Warren, deadpan.
“Cause she’s the Indian, white boy,” said Kyle.
Iron Kissed-
“A cowboy, a lawyer, and a mechanic watched Queen of the Damned,” I murmured.
Warren—who had once, a long time ago, been a cowboy—snickered and wiggled his bare feet. “It could be the beginning of either a bad joke or a horror story."
Blood Bound-
“Warren made a noise, the first one I'd heard out of him since we'd come into the room. I'd have been happier if he hadn't sounded scared.
"Easy, Warren," Adam told him. "You're safe here.”
"If you die on us, you won't be," said Kyle with a growl that would have done credit to any of the werewolves in the room.
Frost Burned-
“You’re a dead man,” Kyle said. “Warren doesn’t take kindly to people who hurt me.”
