Publisher's summary

Mechanic Mercy Thompson has friends in low places - and in dark ones. And now she owes one of them a favor. Since she can shape-shift at will, she agrees to act as some extra muscle when her vampire friend Stefan goes to deliver a message to another of his kind. But this new vampire is hardly ordinary - and neither is the demon inside of him.

Have Mercy: listen to another Mercy Thompson chiller.

Critic reviews

“A full bore action adventure with heart...be prepared to read in one sitting because once you get going there is no good place to stop until tomorrow.” (SFRevu)

“Briggs has created a believable alternative world populated with strong dynamite characters, deadly adversaries and cunningly laid plots that leave the reader looking for more.” (Monsters and Critics)

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

good story and a great heroine

I have really enjoyed the first 2 books. The story moves along quickly and Mercy is an excellent female protagonist. She doesn't sit back while the men do the dirty work of dealing with the devil.

Fantastic Performance!

The Mercy Thompson series is a wonder: great from the first book, no sophomore slump, fantastic characters that all get deep and meaningful arcs, and a fresh and unique world in the larger urban fantasy landscape.

Even better, Lorelei Kong's performance takes these already great books to the next level. Her narration adds depth and nuance to a story I've already read twice. Wonderful work!

Silly fun escape from your own reality

There are these moments in books, such as when a walker walks into a fae tavern and ends up singing a Christian song to a group of Celtic fae, that made me laugh aloud.
Hard to explain to other folks sitting near you so I didn’t try. Thoroughly enjoyed this story with its ability to not take itself too seriously. Fun with tropes. A little bit of intense romance. Good escape.

Lorelei King does a great job with the voices!

Author & Narrator a Great Team

Loved it. Author makes characters feel real. Narrator brings them to life - love her vocal range, it's easy to forget it's one woman, not a radio theater cast.

One of my favorite series

This needs to be made into a TV show. It would be so entertaining. You won’t be disappointed with this series.

book 2 has a better story line

It was a better story line then the first one in the series. I was nervous because I loved the ideas of the book plots but thought the first book was kind of lame but the second one was so much better. Good read.

😻

I love this series! Had headache so couldn't read so I put this on with no lights and was able to listen. So glad I did, it soothed me. I was able to read/listen to the rest of the book instead of yearning to read.
