Search - Cry Wolf (Alpha and Omega, Bk 1)

I was on pins and needles waitng for a copy of this book. Sadly, it was not as good as her Mercy Thompson series. I found myself skimming through quite a bit and really, only the last few chapters were good.

Ongoing story of the romance between Alpha wolf Charles Cornick and Omega wolf Anna Latham. This story picks up where it left off in the On the Prowl Anthology. Anna returns to Montana with Charles and his father the Marrock. Charles is trying to heal from exposure to silver, and court Anna, when he is assigned an important assignment from his father. The courtship is complicated due to Anna's history. We learn more details regarding the how and why of her past abuses. We meet some interesting personalities in the Pack. The Marrock's mate is a real winner. Anna goes with Charles on his assignment, and they are both in danger. Loved the continuation of the romance. The conclusion to the assignment seemed to drag. I love Charles and Anna and I'll read about them again. Love Patricia Briggs.

Let 1st start by being honest. I love Patricia Briggs. She weaves a story like no one else. Absolutely my favorite author. Now that that is out of the way...I will have to say while I liked the story I found Anna to be whiney and annoying thru out the 1st half of the book, but as the story progressed I did come to like her much better. As with all Patricia Briggs books, the writing and the story are incredible. I easily give it 4 stars. I would suggest reading the short in On the Prowl prior to reading this book. I found Anna annoying and I read the short....If I hadn't read the short, I think I would have hated her. A great new spin off of the Mercy series, maybe we can hope Sam will get one too!

I got this book from here and I never read Patricia Briggs book before, and I found my self completely messed up while reading Cry Wolf. I got On The Prowl on my wish list as also the Mercy Thomson series, to get more formerly interested in the story line of the Weres, witches and Vamps. Once I start reading more of Briggs' books then I will reread Alpha & Omega series

This was not as good as the Mercy Thompson series. It took over 150 pages for action to develop which is way, way too slow. There is not a lot of info on Anna and what she can and can't do until very late in the book - too much musing by characters.

I like this series. Very interesting to see more of Charles Cornick, the enforcer. And Anna's discovery of who she is is well done. I have Bk 2 on my shelf ready to go.
