Critic reviews

"An excellent read with plenty of twists and turns. Her strong and complex characters kept me entertained from its deceptively innocent beginning to its can’t-put-it-down end.” (Kim Harrison, New York Times best-selling author)

"Patricia Briggs always enchants her readers. With Moon Called, she weaves her magic on every page to take us into a new and dazzling world of werewolves, shapeshifters, witches, and vampires. Expect to be spellbound.” (Lynn Viehl, New York Times best-selling author)

“I’ve never been disappointed by one of [Patricia Briggs’s] books and this one is no exception...Moon Called ends on a high note and leaves you wanting more.” (Fresh Fiction)

Featured Article: No Full Moon Needed—Here Are the 20 Best Werewolf Audiobooks to Listen to Right Now


Tired of listening to stories about humans? Consider the werewolf! Taking various forms over the course of centuries and mythologies, often as flesh-devourers, werewolves now commonly appear in fantasy and romance novels as shape-shifters. The shape-shifting element in werewolves' stories has almost humanized them, depicting the internal struggles we all face within ourselves, on some level or another.

Great story

I have read all the books and now I have started with the audiobooks to listen to when I drive for work. Lol. It's just as good the 4th or 5th time as the first!

Love it, finally getting my Charley Davidson fix!

Would you consider the audio edition of Moon Called to be better than the print version?

I don't know, I didn't read the print. But Lorelei King is awesome!

What other book might you compare Moon Called to and why?

Charley Davidson (Darynda Jones) and Cat Crawfield (Jeaniene Frost). Love the female characters, the stories are interesting.

What about Lorelei King’s performance did you like?

She just brings this type of character to life!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yep

Mercy is a Terrific Character

What did you love best about Moon Called?

I loved the way it was read by Lorelei King. The characters are well developed and I love that Mercy is an independent female AND knows how to live and survive with werewolves. I like fantasy and supernatural stories so this one is perfect. I am glad I discovered this series. I'll keep reading!

What did you like best about this story?

I liked that Mercy is female and independent and able to connect with a great variety of supernatural beings.

Have you listened to any of Lorelei King’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No. This is my first experience with Ms. King but I will look for her reading in other books. She is very good.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Mercedes is not just a car....she's a Skinwalker!

Any additional comments?

I loved the book and have already ordered Book 2. Will be reading them all!

perfect voice

I don't think they could have chosen better for the voice. For the text, there was LGBT but I got tired of "werewolves this.." And "werewolves don't.." I'm sure we could have been shown her mythology, without so much dry lecture
