Frost Burned (Dramatized Adaptation)

Mercy Thompson [Dramatized Adaptation] #7

by Patricia Briggs, Full Cast (Narrator)

Mercy's life has undergone a seismic change. Becoming the mate of Alpha werewolf Adam Hauptman has made her a stepmother to his daughter Jesse, a relationship that brings moments of blissful normalcy to Mercy's life. But on the edges of humanity, what passes for a minor mishap on an ordinary day can turn into so much more....

After a traffic accident in bumper-to-bumper traffic, Mercy and Jesse can't reach Adam—or anyone else in the pack. They've all been abducted. Mercy fears Adam's disappearance may be related to the political battle the werewolves have been fighting to gain acceptance from the public—and that he and the pack are in serious danger. Outmatched and on her own, Mercy may be forced to seek assistance from any ally she can get, no matter how unlikely.

Basic Plot: The pack is kidnapped and fae assassins are after Mercy, so the hunt is on to figure out who is behind it and why.

This is a good, focused book in the series. There is less relationship drama and a lot more action. Mercy, per usual, gets the crap kicked out of her on the regular, but no wheelchair this time, so not as bad as previous incidents. There is a whole lot of twistiness to the plot, so even though I've read the regular dead-tree book (long ago, it feels), I found myself still intrigued by the plot and trying to remember how this book fits into the narrative I remember. Good stuff.

I’ve had such mixed feelings about the graphic audio versions of these. I really like the concept of it, but sometimes the acting just doesn’t stand up. And the voices that they use don’t fit. It bothers me the most that some of the names are pronounced incorrectly. But I absolutely love the story, and it’s nice listening to it with a full cast. The book by itself is five stars, but I gave this version four stars because of the issues I mentioned.

4.5⭐️ Review

Mercy Thompson never gets a break, does she? From newlywed bliss and stepmom duties to her entire pack being kidnapped—girl can’t even sit through a traffic jam without chaos following her. 🐺🔥

This installment had everything I love about the series: grit, loyalty, clever problem-solving, and Mercy’s unshakable heart. The emotions in this one packed a serious punch—there may have been a few tears shed (totally not admitting how many 😭). The stakes were high, the tension was brutal, and the emotional depth hit just right.

And that full-cast audio production? Chef’s kiss. Every growl, snarl, and heartfelt whisper came alive perfectly.

Mercy proves once again that she’s not just the mate of an Alpha—she’s the force that keeps the world from falling apart. 💪✨
