Great start to a new series!

Who was your favorite character and why?

I love this new female lead. Mercy Thompson is a relatable character. She has a dirty bedroom and a real job. Most stories make their characters rich with no real need to work. But Mercy gets down and dirty in both her job fixing cars and helping out the local werewolf pack.

Moon called is a good listen

The story was excellent and the narrator was on target with the different voices. The first book was so good that I moved on to buying all the rest of the series the same day. If you like Jim Butcher - Dresden files, Kim Chance and Kim Harrison - the Hollows series, you should really enjoy this series too. I have put this series on my "look out for new books" list and would recommend it to anyone interested in paranormal fiction.

A five star fantasy

The writing is great, the narration is great, the story line is great. I just don't picture myself giving a five to a fantasy book. I like fantasy, but am not a fanatic. I really liked Mercy's character. Guess I'll have to read more of these!

Great series, love the narration!

I have ready this series and loved it. Great young adult book, modern and magical. Lorelei King does a wonderful job as Mercy. This is the first of the series I have listened to on audio book and can't wait to listen to the next one!

Good plot, good characters. Standard paranormal fare. A decent listen if you've got a few hours.

Hooked from the first chapter.

Wow, I have never read a book about a coyote shifter and this one is excellent, she brings all supernatural characters into a nicely blended series, from vampires, to werewolves, to the Fae everything gets touched. I immediately ordered the next book when I was finished. I was good and truly hooked on Mercedes.

Don't Start Unless You Want a Long Ride

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes! The Narrator does an amazing job! But I would have the selling point of saying I listened to all the books currently in the series (8) in a row.

Which character – as performed by Lorelei King – was your favorite?

I'm coming back to do reviews after listening all 8 books and it's hard to recall who would have been my favorite during the first book. I think I really liked Sam at this point in time but would probably change my answer to Stephen maybe. It's hard to say after how much they all change over the series.

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

Yes, did 8 books of the series in about a months time. I'm sure I did a few in close to one sitting.

Any additional comments?

The book is too good to just read the first one. Be ready to get a series that you want to absorb all of as quickly as possible.
