Blood Bound (Dramatized Adaptation)

Mercy Thompson, Book 2

By: Patricia Briggs

Narrated by: David Engel, Khaya Fraites, Belsheber Rusape, Christopher McLinden, Gregory Linington, Rayner Gabriel, Elias Khalil, Wyn Delano, Danny Montooth, Daniel Llacal, full cast, Charlie Albers

Mercy has friends in low places—and in dark ones. And now she owes one of them a favor. Since she can shapeshift 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.

When the undead and the werewolves sent to find him don’t return, the local vampire queen turns to Mercy for help. A coyote is no match for a demon, but Mercy is determined to get her friends back—including the two werewolves circling around her heart.

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

"cinematic" sounds are ridiculous

Yhe background mood music doesn't seem to fit for certain scenes, nor does most of the background noises.

The voice acting is good, though the vampires and witch voices are a bit odd, the overall acting is pretty good with enough emotion and excitement.

I enjoy the storyline and look forward to listening to the rest of it for that reason.

Good story

Good story! Live this series.
The dramatized version does take some getting used to with the different voices. Overall well done

Another great performance

The cast and sound team deserves a pat on the back. The dramatization did make some parts creepier than I remembered

Great Story, voice actors need to re ad the books.

Great story! Will always support and re-read these books! Stefan's voice actor is the absolute worst choice. He sounds like he never read a description of the character.

Graphic Audio- meh

It just isn’t for me. Too much music in the background and every sound the lead character made sounded sexual.

The voice actors are outstanding. I am correcting a mistake I made earlier. every voice fits every character.

you can never go wrong with the Patricia Briggs book. the dramatized version just brings it more to life. amazing job!

So much fun!

I have the audio books of this whole series, but the Graphic Audio version adds that extra dimension. So enjoyable!

fallen in love with the Mercy series all over again

sharing my same review for book 1, here for book 2 as well. because it applies!

I have been a fan of Mercy from the moment my bestie turned me onto the series in 2010. I'm a little behind on the audible versions of the last few books I'm embarrassed to say 😳 😆 but that just gives me the pleasure of a book binge 🖤🫶

however I love the 1st narrators take on the series, I am addicted to the dramatized version now!!! I listened to the 1st by accident, intending to just listen to the original. when I realized 😳 it had all different actors for the individual characters, I couldn't wait to see how it turned out.

I was not disappointed & quickly finished both Moon Called & Blood Bound (the dramatized versions) within a couple days. I have pre-ordered Iron bound, and sincerely hope all the books make the the switch over. I will always have my 1st single narrator version in my library, both in my Audible & hard cover libraries 📚 this is as close to a movie adaptation as possible without the series being chopped up & "adapted to TV". so we are able to maintain the storyline as it was written, but get the benefits of the larger cast & great sound effects.

don't get me wrong, I would be one of the 1st in line to watch Mercy come to life on the big screen. but idk if I'll be lucky enough in my lifetime. so to this, I am so happy Briggs made the leap of faith.

Mercys voice actress 🫶👏🙌✨️ perfectly captures MERCY as i have always imagined her in my minds eye. Both my elderly mom & I listened to book 2 together, we laughed at hearing her come to life & how the actress nailed her humor 😆 please don't change her out anytime soon lol

Adam's, a little off from what I imagined, but no shade here! I am not mad at all. I love their chemistry coming to life. We are definitely Team Adam in this house lol

Warren, Kyle, Sam, Bran, Jesse, & Zee!! can't forget our favorite russian witch 👌🥲🖤🖤🖤🖤

and to Stephan, I love hearing him come to life too! His voice-mail message w/ the Scooby-Doo song was the best 🤣

I have fallen in love with this series all over again.

I need more!

I need the whole Mercy Thompson series to be done this way! Audio was great - I picture a couple of the characters voices differently but that’s okay!

Great story, great audio

I adore this series. Mercy is such a force. The vampire and other supernatural beings in this world keep her on toes. Loved the book and the graphic audio is amazing. For those wondering if it’s really that different from a regular audiobook, it is. Well worth the listen. Given the choice I will always choose graphic audiobooks over regular.
