Publisher Description
THE FIRST MERCY THOMPSON NOVEL!
Moon Called is the novel that introduced Patricia Briggs’s Mercy Thompson to the world and launched a #1 bestselling phenomenon...
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...
“In the increasingly crowded field of kick-ass supernatural heroines, Mercy stands out as one of the best.”—Locus

"I love this narrator (Lorelei King) every character is unique <3 I really enjoy Patricia Briggs and Mercy Thompson, I finished 'Smoke Bitten' (my least favorite book in this series) yesterday and I am starting all over again, this time I 'm going to pay a lot more attention to when the relationship between Mercy and the people in her life change for better or worse. The release of her new book in this series has already been announced and i can hardly wait to get my paws on that one too! If you are a fan of this genre, this is a must read! "

Quotes
-
“Moon Called is an excellent read with plenty of twists and turns…Thoroughly satisfying, it left me wanting more.”
— Kim Harrison, New York Times bestselling author -
“A new and dazzling world of werewolves, shape-shifters, witches, and vampires.”
— Lynn Viehl, USA Today bestselling author of the Darkyn series -
“Mercy’s a compelling protagonist, and how she interacts with other paranormals is also quite interesting. Briggs has chosen an interesting moment in time to set this book, when the paranormals are on the cusp of being revealed to the world at large, which is a refreshing change from most other books set in similar worlds. The story hums along like a well-tuned engine, keeping the reader engaged through the tumultuous climax.”

" This is a great book, if your looking for werewolves vampires witches and the " reader" is accomplished with voices for every character. "
— DIVINEDONSKOY, 12/12/2017 -
" I really was hoping that there would be a man reading thr male roles and female reading female roles but that didnt happen however loreli king does a pretty good job of defining each character with its own accents and voice. The story it self lived up to expectations that o had as i had already been exposed to the mercy thompson stories thru a short story cd. I love this series "
— DivineDonskoy breeder, 12/8/2017 -
" I was under impression that I am getting a story with a strong female main character, some supernatural adventure and some romance. What I got is a story of a strong female character who got herself raped in the third part. I read to get relaxed, not unhappy and sad. I am so sorry I spend my time and money for this first 3 books of this sequence. I am certainly not going p read any more of Briggs books. "
— Agnes, 8/18/2017 -
" I love love love this author!!!!!!1 She knows how to make her characters real and have a real human side to them. I feel like mercy and I are friends and I love being able to visit her anytime I want. So far I own every book this author has written she has to be one of my favorite authors! "

— Amelia, 1/16/2014 -
" Pretty solid four stars for me. I liked the world building and the story was fast paced enough to not bore but not too fast to get lost. I enjoyed the intrigue and liked Mercy as a character. I'm also looking forward to learning more about Walkers. "
— HTL, 1/3/2014 -

" It was OK - it started out strong and peaked my interest with the premise but then waned unfortunately. A lot of male names to keep straight. "
— Candace, 10/31/2013 -
" I really enjoyed this book. I found Mercedes to be a very real character. She doesn't have the 'I can take on anything and I'll probably survive' attitude, which I found refreshing. "
— Shanna_redwind, 10/28/2013 -
" 4.25 stars. I'm very late to this series but so far so good. "

" It was good, a little slow and confusing at the beginning but picked up at the end. "
— Lynn, 10/25/2013 -
" Overly plot and character stuffed, but a fascinating urban fantasy world, a great female protagonist, and plenty of action made this a true page turner. Read it in two days. "
— Stephen, 12/3/2012 -
" More like 2 1/2. It was fun that it was set in my home town but lacked some originality. "
— Morgan, 9/9/2012 -
" I think Mercedes has no charm, Adam is weak and with no sex appeal, the story boring and the naration style a little childish. "
— Anushka, 5/20/2012 -
" I was surprised that I managed to stick to this and finished reading the book. To me, it was boring and slow moving. I had high hopes for the book, the summary looked interesting, and a lot of reviews were good. But turned out that the only thing I like about the book is the cover page illustration. "
