Enjoyed

If you enjoyed the Mercy Thompson (Moon Called book #1) series by the same author then this series will be a pleasure to read or listen to as well. I will say that someone else wrote that one should read Prowl first (several stories by different authors to include Patricia Briggs), which I ignored... I should have listened! I did feel like I was dropped in a story with the first several chapters missing so Prowl is ordered. You will not be lost since enough is discussed that you get the just but I enjoy knowing the details of the charactors and how they met. If you are the same read Prowl first.

Where did this come from and why didn't I read it sooner?

I've been a follower of the Mercy Thompson series for awhile waiting for the next Mercy book, I decided to read Briggs' new Alpha Omega series. OMG why didn't I start sooner? Where the Mercy series has a strong female character from the beginning, this book introduces a timid 'wolf' female who we get to watch grow into her Omega place. (Omega being a wolf who has the same power as and Alpha but not the need to rule.) This Omega wolf was abused in her first pack then joins a new one as the old pack takes a new Alpha. She also finds herself mated to the right hand man of the pack's Alpha. I really enjoy watching the character grow as well as her mate. The only downside for me is that I want to know how it all really began....how was it that the old pack was found to be misusing their wolfs? Where did it all start? Did I miss that story somewhere?

Another great series by Patricia Briggs

Make sure to read Alpha and Omega in On The Prowl so you know whats going on in this book.

Charles and Anna are trying to cope with their new found mate bond when a rogue werewolf threatens the peace in Aspen Creek. Bran, The Marrok, decides that sending Anna with Charles to hunt the rogue would be the perfect opportunity for them to spend quality time together.

If you are a fan of the Mercy Thompson books then you will love this new series from Patricia Briggs

I loved this book!

Patricia Briggs is truely an amazing author! I love how she brings to life all of the characters in this book as well as the story line. I honestly could not put this book down until i reached the end. I can't wait for the next book "Hunting Ground" which is the next in this series and comes out in Aug 2009. Just a note: I recommend reading first her novella that is in the book "On the Prowl", which is the beginning to this Alpha Omega series.

YEAH Patricia Briggs does it again!!

LOVE THIS BOOK!!! However, I would recommend that before reading this book that a person read the novelle 'Alpha and Omega' in the anthology entitled On the Prowl FIRST. The short story explains WHY Anna is the way she is. If you have read the Mercy series even better but they are not necessary to really enjoy this story they just flesh out Charles & his Father in your minds. I can see the characters from both series intermingling in future books. Ms. Briggs brings her characters to life, you will feel like they are people you know and will want to visit with them often.

I Loved This Book

I read the first four Mercy Thompson books and really liked them. I did not expect to enjoy this one more. Charles' description through Mercy's eyes is so different from his character in Cry Wolf, it was hard to believe they were the same man. I definately recommend reading the short story in "On The Prowl" before reading this book. Anna and Charles are interesting seperately but together, they were great. I really liked that you understood both their points of view. The Mercy books are from her point of view. This was a good change of pace. I cannot wait for the next in the series.

Quick Read

This book was interesting but I wish it would have gone into more character depth. I wish I would have read the first one before this. I think that it would have made more sense then.

Booklover

I have read all of the alpha and omega series. I have loved them all. Charles and anna have a great love story. I love charles, and i hope we will see more of this series.

Loved IT!!!!!

I highly recommend reading this book and this series. It is amazing.

This was a great read!

I love a series where I get to know and love/hate characters. When a series writer adds a new series I am usually left wanting the old characters and original series. Briggs did a great job of connecting the original with the new with cross characters and it made me immediately feel like I wasn't losing favorite characters but gaining new ones. Cry Wolf was a great read. I hope to enjoy more of both series.

Cry Wolf

Was a great book, on to series #2

Highly Recommend!

I love this werewolf series! I'm a little late discovering Patricia Briggs, but now that I have, I'm hooked. Her writing style and her characters keep me entertained and I find it hard to put the book down. After buying the first book, I bought the complete Alpha and Omega Series and I can't wait for another book to come out!

Awesome!!!!

I couldn't put this book down, I loved it so much. I can't wait to read the next one. :)

Very enjoyable

I have read two of the three Alpha and Omega books so far and the third is on the Nook for reading today! I look forward to more of them!

Highly recommended!!

Patricia Briggs captures her audience with exciting descriptions of her characters. She connects both to the human and super natural aspects of each. I can't wait to read more from her.

Loved it.......

Love it - could not put it down........

Promising start to a series.

The book does a good job of getting us interested in the characters that we will hopefully care a great deal about in the future.

GREAT Check it out

I enjoyed this book very much. Don't let the werewolf bite you. Ha Ha
