Mercury Raine: a Whisper in the Wind

By: Sarah M. Eden

Narrated by: Jake Stormoen

Mercury Raine is the most sought-after ghost broker in all the kingdom, with more ghosts than anyone knows and more secrets than one person should have. With a dangerous past threatening to catch up with him, Mercury has taken on the goliath task of training his new neighbor, Tacey Wilde, in the ghost brokering trade. Doing so isn’t without risks, but letting her and her all-too-knowing ghost simply walk away is far more perilous.

He has been warned to be on the lookout for more ghosts like Tacey’s, who know things about him that they ought not. So, when two new clients arrive with a ghost who remembers him, despite never having met him, Mercury knows he must do everything he can to keep their ghost, the Cream Canary, at his home and the secrets she knows from being whispered into the wrong ears.

Perfection

This story is unique, witty, intriguing, and mesmerizing, the characters are quirky and lovable. The plot is enthralling.

The narration is beyond stellar, I am so impressed! The way the narrator does all the different voices is truly remarkable.

Perfect narration for this series!

"The storm is gathering and building."

Mercury Raine: A Whisper in the Wind

I am completely entranced by Mercury Raine's story and this series! The mystery is so intriguing and I NEED book 3! I love that we are getting bit by bit of the mystery of Mercury Raine's past. It definitely keeps you wanting to continue the series.

I loved the small moments and glimpses into the slow burn romance between Mercury and Tacey Wilde. Especially when she takes care of him and stays with him after the Transferral.

Audio Review: Best male narration ever! Jake knocked it out of the park with this one, and I imagine book 1 audio was perfect too. I'm really not kidding, definitely order the audio for this series! Jake does a different, unique voice for each character, including accents. Highly recommend!!

I definitely recommend book 2 and am eagerly anticipating the rest of this series. So what are you waiting for? Order both of these books before book 3 is announced!

Favorite Parts:
Continued mystery
New ghosts
She takes care of him
That ending
The AUDIO!!

"The storm is coming. Whispers carry on the wind, Mercury, and there is no way of knowing to what ears that wind will carry them."

Thank you to the author for the audio copy. All thoughts are my own.

So addictive! Ten stars.

This second installment was just as amazing and addictive as the first. I was sucked in from the moment the story started and already cannot wait for the next book. I love how listening to this narration is like a bed time story but ten times better. Jake Stormoen is the king and I could listen to him narrate books for ever. The story itself is creative and original. The characters pull you in and I need to know more about Mercury Raine. I definitely recommend this.

Knockout Narration! Hilarious!

A clever storyteller and a talented narrator have created a very funny, cozy ghost story. I hope the series continues for a long time.

Another excellent book in series

This is another enjoyable novella set in the fascinating world of ghost brokering by one of my favorite authors. Eden has captured a family in these stories but sometimes family harbor secrets that Mercury can’t afford to have revealed. Even if he doesn’t even remember what they are.

I’m loving this series! Eden’s exceptional writing skills shine in these characters, even though most aren’t human. I adore each of the ghosts. Their unique personalities shine through the pages.

I will read any book from this author, and each new story in this series is captivating.

Jake Stormoen does an incredible job of narrating. His skills at accents and tone are well done. Now I need him to narrate every book I listen to!

I reviewed an eARC and ALC from the author. All views are my own.
