Two writer friends (hi, Joan and Maggie!) have raved about Patricia Briggs for a couple of years now. One of them lent me a copy of the urban fantasy Moon Called, which is still sitting on my bookshelf. I started to read it long ago, but something made me stop. It most definitely was not anything that's wrong with the book. I know this because I downloaded the audio version from Audible, and my ears have been glued to it every second I'm in the car.
For me, this audiobook is the perfect storm: good writing, gripping story AND an excellent narrator, Lorelei King. King has that hard-to-find ability to do male voices so that they don't sound like effeminate men. The women sound like women and the men sound like men! Her take on a teenager in the story is spot-on.
I wish I hadn't dallied so long in committing to this book. The good news, though, is that now I have a whole bunch of Patricia Briggs books to catch up on. Hooray!

Hi to Joyous from the blog world! Liked your write-up on this book. Not sure it is something I would read, but I love this style of cover design. I have seen this one and a few others (Laurell K. Hamilton, Kim Harrison and Kelley Armstrong) that have similar compelling cover art. Looking forward to seeing you soon! Nice blog by the way!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Joyce - this book was one I regretted not picking up sooner!
ReplyDeleteHi, Connie!
ReplyDeleteI love that when I'm late discovering a great author, I at least have a long back list to enjoy!
