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.

A joy to read

Wonderful to have all these short stories brought together, highlighting just how rich and splendid “The World of Mercedes Thompson” is, with extraordinary characters and beautifully layered intrigue.

Really Enjoyed The Mix

This book was really good... It wasn't just one story, it was a good collection of different stories , they weren't that long and they were really good.

If you are a fan of the Mercy series then getting this book is not even a question.. You will enjoy it.

meh

I don't know what I expected but the performances were lackluster. The stories were okay but I wish I had read this rather than listening to it. I love the characters already in my head and this just...skewed them for me.

Don't miss this insight into Mercyverse!

Mercyverse, short-stories, urban-fantasy, werewolves, witches

Was each story exceptional? No. But I am so delighted that all of my questions about some dangling issues regarding some of the characters in the series in one place without having to go through a pile of books in which there is only one relevant to my questions! This is marvelous!
Lorelei King IS the voice of Mercy Thompson!

The stories were good but not narration

I liked the stories but I had a hard time listening to the stories narrated by the male narrator. His accents were terrible and his reading seemed too forced and dramatic. He also pronounced quite a few words wrong. Again it was hard to listen to him but I enjoyed the stories once I could stop cringing from the narrators voice. The female narrator was pretty good however.

Lovely snippets and short stories but issues with production

There were parts wherein the recording sounded stilted or like the volume of sound bytes pieced together didn’t match, particularly during the reading by the male narrator.

Very short stories

Some of the stories was just too short. It was different for me but I perfected a whole book not short stories. If the rest of her books are like that I won’t get them.
