 Not like the Mercy series October 31, 2008
The Critic
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. br /
Nice beginning October 31, 2008

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.
 Must read this book October 30, 2008
Jessica (Reno, NV)
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. br / br /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. br / br /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. br / br /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. br / br /This is a great book. If you like the Mercy Thompson series, this is a must read!!
Good start for a new series October 22, 2008

The story in the book starts from the other short novella, which is not included in the book. It makes matters somewhat confusing. The author should not have divided the story (by separating the beginning and placing it as a separate novella in another book).
Alpha Omega book 1.5 October 21, 2008
Maria Waltner (Cincinnati, Ohio United States)
This story starts right off where Ms. Briggs started in her short story in the book "On the Prowl" (featuring various authors). I suggest reading that first so that you have a good background of what Anna went through and how short a time she has really known Charles. br / br /Anna is a werewolf and has been for three years but it wasn't her choice to make the change. In most things she is basically ignorant about what it means to be a werewolf and she knows even less about herself as an Omega wolf. Charles is still recovering from the silver bullets he took in the fight in Chicago and is trying to learn enough for both of them. He's trying not to scare off Anna since they are not "mated" even though their wolves are. The situation is unheard of in the werewolf community. br / br /To compound matters the Marrok must send Charles off to deal with a rogue wolf that has attacked one human too many in the wilds of Montana. Anna, unwilling to let Charles face an enemy alone, goes with him and plays an integral part in taming the rogue as well as the Marrok when he nearly goes berserk after being held captive by a 200 year old witch that can utilize pack bonds and has a guardian werewolf. br / br /As with any good heroine, Anna is what holds the story together. She's shy but stubborn, strong yet delicate, unsure of herself but definitely a force to be reckoned with... br / br /
