“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)

satisfying fantasy set in present time

no Goth background to hide in, these supernatural critters must function with autos & cell phones. great original heroine who i look forward to following for many adventures. elements of romance, morality & spirituality keep it all going.

Impressive reading.

If you could sum up Moon Called in three words, what would they be?

Entertainig creature tale.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Merci, of course, because of the way Lorelei King presenter her, she seemed real to me.

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

This is my first listen to her. I have put LK on my short list of favorites, so it won't be last.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Mercedes was using the language that all mechanics use in an effort to loosen an obstinate bolt.

Great book

Narrative was good most of the time. She seemed to struggle with the different voices. I didn't feel like the voices, reflected all the characters either. overall great book.

I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I really like Urban Fantasy. It was nice to get a new perspective in the form of Mercy Thompson. The narration was great, and no annoying voices.

Attention Grabber!

I was drawn in from the moment I realized there was a Shifter in the bunch.
The story line kept me interested the entire time and the narrator has a pleasant voice and was easy to listen to.

A Very Good Rendition of Moon Called

Where does Moon Called rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

While my favorite audio books are Holter Gram's audio rendition of the Alpha and Omega series, this audio book comes close behind those.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I love Mercy Thompson. She is a wonderful main character who does the right thing even though she knows it will likely place her in a situation she would prefer to avoid (getting back involved with the wolves).

What about Lorelei King’s performance did you like?

I think Lorelei King's voice was excellent for Mercy Thompson and her thoughts.

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

I enjoyed listening to this book as I walked over a series of days.
