Cry Wolf (Alpha and Omega, #1)

by Patricia Briggs

Holter Graham (Narrator)

#1 New York Times bestselling author Patricia Briggs presents the first Alpha and Omega novel—the start of an extraordinary series set in Mercy Thompson’s world, but with rules of its own...

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 is about to recognize her value as a pack member—and as his mate.

[MurderByDeath]

I'm a fan of the Mercy Thompson series, but I really had no interest in the Alpha and Omega series, since weres aren't my most favored paranormal species. But I found myself unspeakably bored at work yesterday and nothing on my kindle for mac app appealed. Until I stumbled across Cry Wolf and thought reading more about Bran and Charles sounded like a great idea.

An excellent read, although I'll still maintain that I prefer the more diverse world of Mercy's. It was a bit tough figuring out what was going on at first, since this book takes place pretty much right after the novella "Alpha and Omega" - so if you're looking to get into this series, start with the novella - it will make the beginning of this book *so* much more sensical. After figuring out what was going on though, I really liked the dynamic between Anna and Charles and I appreciated the amount of time spent on them before launching into the action. The action itself, while not gory, was hard to read at times and I'll admit, I passed right on over anything having to do with hurting animals. It makes up a small, very small part of the story, but those few sentences were more than I could bear. Otherwise, the subjugation of one person by another (I won't say human, as I don't think it applies in this case) is a big theme in the story and I thought Ms. Briggs did a very good job with it - reading it made me uncomfortable, as it was meant to.

I don't know if I'll read the next or not, but I'll certainly be checking it out.

great book! very well written, I have gotten myself the other books in the Alpha and Omega series, as well as the Mercy Thompson books to read as well :)

I would suggest to read the short story in 'On the Prowl' first, though, as that is the prequel to the Alpha & Omega story.

I was pleasantly surprised that this series is branched off of the Mercy Thompson series, it made things feel more in depth in that world. Over all it's a pretty good book, it does have it's slow moments and even times where it's repetitive but it's still very well written and captivating.
