About this listen

Mechanic Mercy Thompson has friends in low places - and in dark ones. And now she owes one of them a favor. Since she can shape-shift at will, she agrees to act as some extra muscle when her vampire friend Stefan goes to deliver a message to another of his kind. But this new vampire is hardly ordinary - and neither is the demon inside of him.

Critic reviews

“A full bore action adventure with heart...be prepared to read in one sitting because once you get going there is no good place to stop until tomorrow.” (SFRevu)

“Briggs has created a believable alternative world populated with strong dynamite characters, deadly adversaries and cunningly laid plots that leave the reader looking for more.” (Monsters and Critics)

I took a chance trying out a new author when I got this book, and I am so happy that I did. The whole series is good. I like the fantasy and paranormal genre, but I've never been big on werewolves. This series changed my mind. If you like the Sookie series by Charlaine Harris, give this one a shot. The reader is EXCELLENT! Her voices are amazing.

This is a great series.

Would you listen to Blood Bound: Mercy Thompson, Book 2 again? Why?

Yes. I love the storyline. I love Lorelei King's narration. She brings the characters to life. I am so happy that she reads the Stephanie Plum novels. Can't wait.

The Patricia Briggs' stories are so riveting that relistening is almost required. Every time I listen to a book a 2nd or even 3rd time, I pick up more nuances in the characters.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked the way she builds the characters so that by the time the book ends, the reader can't wait to start the next one. This story almost makes vampires likable beasts...even if they are monsters. I wish I knew some.

Which character – as performed by Lorelei King – was your favorite?

I think it has to be Mercy although she does a good job with the vampires and the wolves, too. Samuel/Sam is sounds so cuddly if you believe her take.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

You don't know what evil lies right across your backyard.

Any additional comments?

Only that I love these stories and love Ms. King's narration.

Werewolves Are Sexy!!!

What made the experience of listening to Blood Bound: Mercy Thompson, Book 2 the most enjoyable?

The problem of stopping a mass murderer that is a vampire sorcerer. This becomes Mercy's problem when helping the Vampire Stephen she is subjected to attention of the sorcerer.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Mercy is my favorite character. She is growing as a person and a super natural.

What does Lorelei King bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Lorelei King is one of my favorites. Her reading of the book is very clear even when reading with a Italian accent.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Mercy lays on Warren's bed and between her and his partner Kyle, they were able to discern what Warren heard from a phone call to Adam.

Any additional comments?

Mercy becomes vengeance.

Never make a sorcerer into a vampire

My favorite!

All of Briggs book flow by. Mercy's books show "monsters" that you can understand, as do the Alpha and Omega books which tie in to this series.

I've listened to this series for years
