1) Mass Market Paperback Book Cry Wolf (Alpha and Omega, Book 1) by Ace. Looking at a number of reviews, it became clear that a lot of these folks are quite good at long and detailed reviews. I am not. I am a fantasy fan and have read everything I can get my hands on, so I was suprised to take a turn from my norm, into werewolves. I am really a fan that quick and have read all of Ms.Brigg´s books to date.....excellent!! :)¤ 2) Mass Market Paperback Book Cry Wolf (Alpha and Omega, Book 1) by Ace. With the release of CRY WOLF (the first in a new series), Patricia Briggs fans can now look forward to two Briggs books coming out per year. A Mercy Thompson in the winter and an Alpha and Omega in the summer. So. Very. Awesome. After inhaling the original "Alpha and Omega" short story in On the Prowl last year, I could hardly wait to follow Anna and Charles´s story in full-length book form and now, having finished it, I can honestly say it was a treat.
Picking up immediately after the events of "Alpha and Omega," Anna finds herself and her few belongings bundled up and on her way to Montana with a wounded Charles and his father, the enigmatic Bran, otherwise known as the Marrok, aka leader of the entire werewolf population of North America. Nervous and unsure of just what she´s gotten herself into, Anna suddenly finds herself living at Charles´s house, attending werewolf funerals, and embroiled in the same kind of wolf politics she was assiduously kept out of during her time with the Chicago pack. Unsurprisingly, it´s one step forward, two steps back for Anna as she attempts to settle into her new life and decide whether or not she even wants to carve out a place for herself with Charles--a still waters run deep sort of man who is reserved, doesn´t like crowds, but is also the Marrok´s chief assassin.
Anna is a very different breed of heroine from Mercy. After being changed, she was never given the chance to get her bearings and accept her new life. The cool thing about being an Omega (something she is only just beginning to figure out about herself) is she has all of the protective instincts of an Alpha, without any of the violence. This makes her strong and able to influence the mood of every wolf around her. The lame thing is that without those violent instincts, she can be taken advantage of and manipulated to a rather spectacular degree. I liked that this first book didn´t rush things. There is plenty of ground left to cover as far as Anna´s untapped abilities go and whether or not she and Charles will be able to bridge the still vast gulf between them. I loved the extra time we got to spend with Bran--one of the most interesting characters in this world. I´m looking forward to more on his background and his mate. Because, even though she´s heinous, I feel particularly sorry for Leah. It´s no kind of life she´s got right now and I find myself harboring a little hope for her and her Marrok.
Lastly, CRY WOLF just happens to include a sneak peak of the first chapter of Bone Crossed (Mercy Thompson, Book 4)--the fourth Mercy Thompson book. Did I skip to the back and read it first before delving into CRY WOLF? Maybe...¤ 3) Mass Market Paperback Book Cry Wolf (Alpha and Omega, Book 1) by Ace. I am still trying to spoon this one down. The Mercy Thompson series was fantastic and I could read them in 2 days. This one I can´t get into. I cannot connect with the characters and I am still trying to finish it after 2 months.
¤ 4) Mass Market Paperback Book Cry Wolf (Alpha and Omega, Book 1) by Ace. I really enjoy Patricia Brigg´s work, and this was no exception. It had a little less humor than I am used to from her, and the lead character wasn;t as strong (IMO) as Mercy. But a good read nonetheless. I´ll be picking up the sequel.¤ 5) Mass Market Paperback Book Cry Wolf (Alpha and Omega, Book 1) by Ace. I love the Mercy Thompson series. This is just an off shoot of that. Some of the characters that are in that series make an appearance here, but with a lot more story to them.
Anna is an Omega werewolf. She was changes three years ago, but her Alpha was a sadistic jerk, brutalizing her every chance he got to try and break her. She has been rescued by Bran the Mattok, leader of all werewolves in North America, and his some Charles.
But not all is well back at home. There have been a few were kills and Bran is afraid that someone is trying to hint that they don´t want him to come out about the werewolves. So, he sends Charles and Anna to check it out.
Charles and Anna are destine to be mated, but she has a lot to get over. He has to figure out what an Omega is exactly. On top of that, they have to figure out who is doing the murders and why.
This is a great book. If you like the Mercy Thompson series, this is a must read!!¤ 6) Mass Market Paperback Book Cry Wolf (Alpha and Omega, Book 1) by Ace. Now Briggs begins an extraordinary new series set in Mercy Thompson’s world—but with rules of its own.
INTRODUCING THE ALPHA AND OMEGA NOVELS...
Anna never knew werewolves existed until the night she survived a violent attack…and became one herself. After three years at the bottom of the pack, she’d learned to keep her head down and never, ever trust dominant males. But Anna is that rarest kind of werewolf: an Omega. And one of the most powerful werewolves in the country will recognize her value as a pack member—and as his mate.¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
