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 fantasy listens of all time


When compiling our list of the best fantasy listening out there, we immediately came up against the age-old question: Is this fantasy or science fiction? The distinction is not as clear as you may think. Dragons, elves, and wizards are definitely fantasy, but what about wizards that also fly space ships? (Looking at you, Star Wars.) For the sake of fantasy purity, the top 100 fantasy listens include the best audio works in all manner of fantasy subgenres.

I just did a long review of this book at Goodreads, and I don't know how to copy and paste on a mobile device, so please check out the reviews there. There are quite a few 5-star ratings, but I couldn't agree. The POV is 1st person singular. which isn't a bad thing in this genre. I see a lot of books written in that viewpoint done well. However, this one is pretty passive-voice, with more tell than show, and dialogue isn't as abundant as it could be to show who the people are. There are interruptions in the action to remind the reader of information already provided.
The plot is a little thin, but I think the purpose of this book was to introduce conflicts and character backstory. If you plan on listening to this series (and it really is a series, needing to be done in order), this book gives a good foundation.

Great narrator, average story

Enjoyable and worth the listen!

interesting plot, nice slight twist at the end. characters were all interesting. I like the take on the supernatural world the author has.
Why four stars then? I... it's hard to put my finger on it, but something on the style of prose rubbed me a little wrong. sometimes the short sentences one after another made things feel... clipped? it's hard to articulate, but I think most people will enjoy regardless so I recommend.

excellent story

I loved this book. I wish there was a movie for it. The whole series is worth both the read and listen. Lora does great with her impressions!

WHENS THE MOVIE?!?!?!

this is slow going. it's a series so it is somewhat expected. I really enjoyed the voice portion. it did hook me by about the 1/2 way Mark though.

not my favorite but still really good

This was my first Patricia Briggs book and I completely enjoyed it! I hope as I continue to read the rest of the series that she flushes out even more of the characters. Here I go again with book two.

Wow, that was fun!

I was absolutely delighted with the book both in content and narration. It has a great plot. Also it's clean, not just a bunch of sex and violence. I'll definitely get the rest of the series.

Great paranormal adventure
