I haven't read the Mercy Thompson books as I can't stand the first person narrative... But I love the Alpha and Omega Books so much, that I might just give those a try!
This was an awesome read! An amazing follow up to Cry Wolf :)
I'm not sure what else to say about it... I loved the continuing build up of not just Anna and Charles relationship, but them as characters as well! And I loved reading about the secondary characters, and the Big Bad wasn't at all who I expected! And the story itself was so good I had a hard time putting this down even for a few minutes!
I can't seem to stop Gushing, it's so good!
Now my only problem is that now I have to wait for the next one!
When I bought this book it was with a ho-hum another werewolf book but I do like Patricia Briggs. My bad, this book is wonderful and there is nothing ho-hum about it.
Currently 3/5 Stars.

Starts out slow but picks up. Gives great insight into the Patricia's world of werewolves. Takes place about a month after the first book. Charles and Anna are happily married. They travel to Washington for a meeting between the other great werewolf alpha's of the world to discuss Bran bringing werewolves to public attention in America. A few people that are atending the talks are attacked by vampires that seem to be using pack magic.
The book isn't as good as the first. I'm a huge Mercy Thompson fan and like learning more about the Marrok and werewolves. This book provides more info about werewolves of not only America but the Alpha's of the world. I was hoping that Adam from the Mercy series was going to make an appearence since he is one of the faces that Bran used for the Were's to come out. Quick and easy read that also has some history and legend of King Authur.
In my opinion this books is a heck of a lot more interesting then the Cry Wolf. I couldn't put it down and no skimming ahead, like I did for Cry Wolf. It got me more interested in the Mercy books, which I should be receiving soon.
I like the characters: quiet brave Anne Cornish, Native American medicine man, Charles, youthful clan leader Bran. This is a good follow up story to the first book and I am looking for more.
