Featured Titles Patricia Briggs’ SILENCE FALLEN narrators on what they loved most about recording the latest Mercy Thompson novel Submitted by Jennifer Rubins on April 13, 2017

Beloved narrator Lorelei King is the longtime voice of Patricia Briggs’ Mercy Thompson. And in the eagerly-awaited tenth installment, SILENCE FALLEN, King is back as Mercy, along with a new second voice, that of Mercy’s husband, Adam, read by George Newbern. Hear why King loved diving back into this bestselling series, and why Newbern got nervous recording late at night!

“I loved recording SILENCE FALLEN. I live in Europe—and my family is eastern European—so it was particularly meaningful to record the scenes set in Prague. It was fascinating to learn a little about the supernatural myths in that part of the world. And—as always—I’m in awe of Mercy’s resourcefulness in the most dire circumstances…”—Lorelei King

LISTEN TO A CLIP of Lorelei as Mercy:

“What I loved about SILENCE FALLEN was the ability to go to a place in my imagination that is so NOT in my wheelhouse of experience. Shape-shifting wolves and vampires! Oh my! I must say, I got creeped-out narrating alone in my studio late at night. While narrating audiobooks can be at once energizing and creative, it can also be terrifyingly isolating. Especially when delving into the deep water of fantasy and horror genres.”—George Newbern

For longtime fans or newcomers!
“Briggs’ Mercy Thompson book series is one of the standard-bearers of the urban-fantasy subgenre. And SILENCE FALLEN, the tenth book of the series, continues the tradition. While having all the hallmarks of an urban fantasy, including werewolves, vampires, and the Fae, Briggs’ approach is unique in how she places those cultures in the midst of a human world…Even if readers haven’t read the first nine books, there is enough here to pick up and run with Mercy’s perilous adventures.”—Booklist

“The vampires of Briggs’s world are one of the biggest secrets still being kept from humanity, and it makes a nice change for series fans to delve deeper into their dark realm.”—Library Journal
