Four Calling Birds

Mourningkill, Book 1

De: Molly Briar

Narrado por: Cole Eubanks, Molly Briar

I retired from the Army Special Forces, purchased a bucolic little Upstate farm, and intended to spend my winter years restoring the ancient house, away from people. It wasn’t as fun as I thought it would be, but it was too late to change course now.

When I got a call from an old colleague, everything changed. A favor was owed. A wounded agent needed a place to lie low and hide out from the criminal organization that was hard on their heels.

When my ex-wife was dumped at my house, a stab wound in her gut, covered in scars, years of resentment and longing bubbled to the surface. Not just between us, but with the team that had been falling apart without her guiding hand. A fight was coming to my doorstep, and years of bitterness and resentment threatened to break us before the first shot was fired.

Happy Holidays to me... Four Calling Birds is the first in the Mourningkill series. All of the books can can be listened to as a standalone. No other books must be heard before this.

A real holiday treat!

This was a great introduction to the world of Mourningkill. We got to meet all the characters. There was plenty of action & spice. Mack is a rugged Gen X MMC whose devotion to Lotte will make you swoon. Lotte is a bad ass FMC who has some healing to do and a little R&R at Mack’s is just what the doctor ordered. This is a second chance romance with some covert ops & a bunch of misfit (adult) kids in need of a family thrown in. Molly & Cole’s duet narration was excellent!

Mack and Lottie

I enjoyed this one so much. It was suspenseful and fun and the second chance romance was perfect. Mack and Lottie were perfect together and I was so happy they reunited. Their past was so heartbreaking, but the way Mack felt about her melted me. I just loved them.

The audio was great. I loved Molly Briar and really enjoyed Cole Eubanks too. This was a fantastic listen.

A not so jolly holiday romance

This is not your typical holiday romance, and boy did I devour it! This duet style narration was amazing. You can feel the emotions of both characters and the banter is phenomenal. The world building is really good and the ride you go on with Mack and Charlotte is so much fun. Molly and Cole really help bring these characters to life and add the perfect amount to make this one of my favorite audiobooks to date!

Emotional depth of the narrators makes this audio!

Loved this book! It was a perfect length for an audio book and a lovely second chance romance. It had humor, amazing spice and the perfect amount of angst.

It is a shorter book but that did not detract from the pace. Lottie and Mack were together for over 10 years before separating, something neither of them wanted. So I really enjoyed the low angst of them getting back together. They knew what they wanted, they just needed the right circumstances.

I loved the found family of their military team. The different personalities made for great interactions and fights, lol.

Military romances are a particular favorite of mine and Molly Briar writes them well. The characters, story, and suspense are top notch.

Molly and Cole’s narration was amazing. This story was emotional and that shined through their narration. I love and greatly prefer dual narration and Molly and Cole are rapidly becoming favorites.

Perfect ‘coming home’, found family story!

FCB is book one of MB’s Mourning Kill series and can be read as a stand alone. Just as Fire for Effect is a military novel, this is placed in the same world and team. I had read FFE before I got to this ALC, and it gave me a ‘coming home’ feeling. Settling the situations that was hinted in book two.
This was a beautiful, finding ourselves story about Mack and Lottie.
A little novel filled with the completion of so many missed moments and misplaced feelings. It’s one that’s also filled hilarious banter, and unusual dramatics with a certain deer. It has one of my favourite tropes, found family. Despite being a military novel, it’s topped with emotion and the raw partnership dynamic of the MCs.
The performance of @coleroberteubanksnarrates and MB was excellent,once again. There were more characters played within this one, and executed beautifully!
I loved it. It was such a good homey novel to cleanse my palate. Perfect if you’re wanting something for the holidays 🤍

Thank you for the ALC @molly.briar and co-narrator @coleroberteubanksnarrates 🖤🖤
