Really Enjoyed The Mix

This book was really good... It wasn't just one story, it was a good collection of different stories , they weren't that long and they were really good.

If you are a fan of the Mercy series then getting this book is not even a question.. You will enjoy it.

meh

I don't know what I expected but the performances were lackluster. The stories were okay but I wish I had read this rather than listening to it. I love the characters already in my head and this just...skewed them for me.

fantastic ♡♡

I love Mercy Thompson series so much this is a great collection thank you Patricia

Don't miss this insight into Mercyverse!

Mercyverse, short-stories, urban-fantasy, werewolves, witches

Was each story exceptional? No. But I am so delighted that all of my questions about some dangling issues regarding some of the characters in the series in one place without having to go through a pile of books in which there is only one relevant to my questions! This is marvelous!
Lorelei King IS the voice of Mercy Thompson!

great short stories from the Mercy-Verse. loved !

i love the world of Mercy. all the characters are interesting with great back stories and adventures of their own. here are a few!

The stories were good but not narration

I liked the stories but I had a hard time listening to the stories narrated by the male narrator. His accents were terrible and his reading seemed too forced and dramatic. He also pronounced quite a few words wrong. Again it was hard to listen to him but I enjoyed the stories once I could stop cringing from the narrators voice. The female narrator was pretty good however.

Definitely recommend

Good short stories kept me entertained on my ride to work. hopefully we get more of these.

Lovely snippets and short stories but issues with production

There were parts wherein the recording sounded stilted or like the volume of sound bytes pieced together didn’t match, particularly during the reading by the male narrator.

Very short stories

Some of the stories was just too short. It was different for me but I perfected a whole book not short stories. If the rest of her books are like that I won’t get them.
