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)

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.

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.

Love the series, not the narrator

Ms King’s cadence, especially near the end of a chapter is distracting to the point of pulling me out of the story. This series is one of my favorites. Blood Bound is engaging and adds more to the overall world building of the Mercyverse.

favorite characters with some evil added in. Uncle Mike for the win!!

Listened to this after having read it a couple years ago and it still didn't disappoint. The narrator is Lorelei king and earlier this year I listened to her book storyteller so I was already familiar with the sound of her voice. She has a distinct ability to narrate and voice deep male voices that are scratchy and resonate and full while also carrying higher female voices and those with different accents. She easily carried me along the story and brought out so many of the characters so clearly that it was very easy to tell one from the other when listening. As with any good book when reading, I was able to listen and visualize the story in front of me and as I'm sure the author intended loved loved loved Jessie!! I'm grateful for the lightheartedness of her and gabriels characters otherwise this book would be awfully dark and heavy. Lots of vampire and fae and werewolf to feed the soul and hearing mercy sing was soooo perfect!! Much better than what I had envisioned in my head!!

I loved this book and loving series

Blood Bound was just as interesting as Moon Called. This series so far has definitely kept my interest in the entire book and I have fallen in love with the characters even more The narrator is awesome. I can tell the difference in all the characters.
