Mercy Thompson is a shapeshifter, and while she was raised by werewolves, she can never be one of them, especially after the pack ran her off for having a forbidden love affair. So she’s turned her talent for fixing cars into a business and now runs a one-woman mechanic shop in the Tri-Cities area of Washington State.

But Mercy’s two worlds are colliding. A half-starved teenage boy arrives at her shop looking for work, only to reveal that he’s a newly changed werewolf—on the run and desperately trying to control his animal instincts. Mercy asks her neighbor Adam Hauptman, the Alpha of the local werewolf pack, for assistance.

But Mercy’s act of kindness has unexpected consequences that leave her no choice but to seek help from those she once considered family—the werewolves who abandoned her...

Stephan's voice

I could get behind all the characters but Stephan' s voice is terrible. He is an Italian soldier not a Vodville actor.

Best Performance

This is a much better performance than the single person narration. I have enjoyed these books for years and was frustrated with the audiobook versions but I was impressed with the performances and enjoyed listening. I really hope more of the Mercy Thompson series get this treatment. Well worth the purchase.

Narrators are SUPERSTARS

I am a Lond time Mercy Fan I have recently tried to rebuild my collection and struggling with book 1 and 3 due to their hardcover value! So I tried Moon Called just Narrated and I hated It. Thought I would never try Audiobooks again..... I was so happy to come across this version. Thankfully it blew my mind and took me back to the stories I remember! Thank you all It was amazing to listen to and create that story in my mind.

performance over all

loved it all. was expecting better accents for some of the characters but over all I enjoyed it and can't wait for the rest of the series to get the same treatment

Loved it!!!

Amazing job!!! I love this series and this dramatized full cast truly brings it to life.

great dramatization!

so much fun and really enjoyed it, great way enjoy Mercy and her world anew!

I love all of Mercy

I love the Mercy Thompson series. I did enjoy hearing the werewolves and other sound effects. I think the voice for Mercy sounded to young but I do love Lorelei King who has always played Mercy. I did like Adam. Others have commented he sounded to old. I think this is because of the deeper voice. He is not tall but is is broad. I think Bran did sound to old to be so unassuming, more college age. I did enjoy the rest of the narration.

Must own audio adaptation

Movie of the mind indeed. Briggs writing and characters have always been stellar, but shine in this adaptation

Love Mercy, Dramatized is okay

Lorelei King does a fabulous job capturing Mercy's voice in the regular audiobook version. So that's a high bar. Here, I thought the Graphic Audio Dramatized Adaptation cast is uneven. In particular, Mercy's voice has very little emotional variance, less humor, and less passion than the book and than Lorelei's interpretation. And sometimes there is some odd pacing. I was a bit disappointed as I loved the Graphic Audio actress who does Kate Daniels in the Ilona Andrews series.

I was also surprised that Stefan and Wulfe had All-American accents but Marsilia had an Italian accent. And Wulfe is clearly voiced by a woman, which I felt was an awkward choice. I get that he's supposed to be a young man, but to cast a female voice just didn't work for me. And I had expected Stefan and Wulfe to also have Italian accents. Honey sounded more high school cheerleader/pep squad and Bran much older than he's described. I'm on the fence about Adam's voice—it's not what I imagined, but it's not bad. I thought Zee, Warren, Samuel, Charles, Kyle, Marsilia, Uncle Mike, Gabriel, and Jesse's casting were spot-on.

The story is still great and the dramatized version is a fun, new way to experience a favorite series.

I loved it.

I really enjoy getting to know Mercy Thompson, and the people who are going to be a part of her world. I can’t wait for more.
I know there is so much more to be discovered and I am ready to go exploring. The voice actors of course did a fantastic job as always. 150% fantastic job by all of them.
