Coyote shifter Mercy Thompson and Alpha werewolf Adam finally reach the altar. But when they make the Columbia River their honeymoon destination, their newlywed bliss turns into a fight for survival....

Being a different breed of shapeshifter—a walker—Mercy can see ghosts, but the spirit of her long-gone father has never visited her. Until now. An evil is stirring in the depths of the Columbia River—and innocent people are dying. As other walkers make their presence known to Mercy, she must reconnect with her heritage to exorcise the world of the legend known as the river devil.

Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects, and cinematic music!

The Mercy Thompson series are some of my favorite books and River Marked doesn't disappoint, especially getting to meet both parts of Mercy's families, her mom had me laughing out loud talking about pigeons and butterflies. The original audio versions are fantastic but after listening to other Dramatized Adaptations of other books I had to try these, so Audible is slowly getting me to buy duplicates of books I already own in the new audio versions, I can't help myself. The cast is spot on in my imagination with the exception of Stefan, He's ITALIAN! Instead of giving him the Italian accent he sounds like a sniveling weasel, he has a smaller part in this book but since he's one of my favorite characters it really bothered me. That's the only reason the performance isn't 5 star.

Love this series!

This is one of my favorite series and getting to listen to it in Graphic Audio is even better!

River Marked is the ongoing story of Mercy Thompson and her adventures. You should definitely read this entire series. I also recommend the Alpha and Omega series that is about different but related characters in the same world. Reading order can be found on the author’s website.

My highlights from this book (minor spoilers):
-I laugh each and every time I read/listen to the shenanigans surrounding Mercy and Adam’s wedding. Mercy’s mom and Jesse are quite the pair.
-I like that we (finally!) get more information about Mercy’s father and where her supernatural powers come from. Plus more supernatural beings!

The narration and sound effects are amazing! If you have not experienced a book in Graphic Audio, I highly recommend!

Fantastic!

While I love this series, this book is one of my least favorites. I love the relationship building between Mercy and Adam. You can feel them getting closer during this story, and it's interesting to find out more about Mercy's background. It just moves a lot slower than the other books, and I miss having the pack around and the other miscellaneous characters we've grown to love. Overall, it's still a good book, just not my favorite.

A Wedding and Lots of Back Story

I just finished listening to the (newly released) Graphic Audio version of River Marked. The radio play style is such a different experience, at this point I no longer buy the standard audio books. I simply prefer the sound effects and variety of voices to the (relatively) flat read by standard narrators.

I remain annoyed by the fakeness of adults trying to voice children.

My thoughts on River Marked:

They fixed the smarmy way the voice actor played Stefan, thank Coyote! I still wish he had a tiny bit of an Italian accent, but the smarm is gone! Ben's accent also seems toned down.

I finally realized exactly why River Marked remains my favorite of the Mercy side of the Mercy/A&O universe. It's because it's more like A&O - primarily focused on the main two characters, Mercy and Adam. I much prefer the way she writes A&O where the two romantic leads are BOTH the main characters, and they're always working together. Removing the larger cast means there was more development of the Mercy-Adam relationship. Before it seemed a little forced, because they're always surrounded by the pack and by Mercy's entourage.

I also realized Patty continued to write the pair of them differently after River Marked. Adam is much more a main part of the story, rather than a character whom she happens to have a relationship with.

Improved voices for characters that previously had issues, and IMO the best book of the series.

There really is nothing like graphic audiobooks. Mercy and Adam finally marry. In true Mercy fashion the honeymoon can’t go totally smoothly. I loved the story in this one. So many interesting characters. I do love this series and can’t wait for the next graphic audiobook!

Amazing

This is the best of the adaptations so far. Part 1 was quite good, but the acting backslid after that. The acting throughtout these Graphic Audio adaptions has been pretty flat. Not a lot of emotional variety. Voice choices continue to be poor for the charcters. I was looking forward to hearing Coyote, but ended up being let down again. The River Devil was nicely done, though.

I don't know what happened at Graphic Audio with this series. They did such a nice job with all the other adaptions I've heard, but this one is just bad. It's like they made no effort to understand the charcters or the mood of the books. They absolutely ignore moments when the text specifies a tone of voice. I guess that helps the listener know what the tone was supposed to be, in contradiction to how the actor read the line. Maybe I'll listen to a sample in couple books and see if they manage to fix the problems in this series.

Better but still disappointing
