Publisher's summary

Mercy Thompson's life is not exactly normal. Her next-door neighbor is a werewolf. Her former boss is a gremlin. And she's fixing a VW bus for a vampire. But then, Mercy isn't exactly normal herself.

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: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

I'm excited to find another fun series

If you like the Sookie Stackhouse series you'll like this series. I love a strong female character with wit, throw in a little romance, and some fantasy characters and what's not to love.
Lorelei King has always been one of my favorite readers, so you can't go wrong.

Captivating

I bout this book quite a while ago, but did't listen to it until last month. It's a fun, unexpected take on vampires mixing with the normal and supernatural worlds. I hooked and will definitely read more of this series.

Top Shifter series!

I have to say that the Publisher’s Summary for this book is ridiculously short. Especially for the quality of the writing.
Mercedes “Mercy” Thompson is a VW mechanic and coyote shifter. She was raised by werewolves of the Marroc’s pack; the top Alpha in the U.S. When Mercy helps a young werewolf shifter, it starts a chain of events for the Columbia Basin pack that leads to murder, kidnapping; and has Mercy tangling with vampires and mercenaries.
I love the occasional snarky humor; in things like the Rabbit wreck Mercy set up to ruin Adam’s view and needle him. Between the writing and narration, lines like “Did the mean old werewolf stick the poor kitty in the box and leave her?” has all new meaning.
King is an excellent narrator.
Absolutely recommend this book and series. Worth a full credit.

AWESOME!

Amazing, fun story. Told by a actual strong woman viewpoint. Just as fun, as the better parts of the Sookie Stackhouse series. Without all the pervasive vampire sex. Lorelei King is A+++ reader.

Better than I remember

I've love this series for many year and listening to Lorelei King's voice makes it even better. She's probably my favorite narrator. She and Patricia Briggs are very skilled and I find myself appreciating how independent and strong willed Mercy is more than I was able to as a kid.
The world building is fantastic! I just really love this series.

Awesome beginning.

The first book in the series is a awesome start. Mercy,Adam and the gang delivers non action thrills. Can't wait for the next in the series.

Excellent start to a paranormal series!

I enjoyed the audio book, and I like the matter of fact, but snarky, voice of the narrator. Reminds me of Ilona Andrews' Kate Daniels series that I devoured a couple of years ago. Can't wait to grab book 2!
