Burn Bright by Patricia Briggs

Burn Bright (Alpha and Omega, #5)

by Patricia Briggs

"In her bestselling Alpha and Omega series, Patricia Briggs "spins tales of werewolves, coyote shifters, and magic and, my, does she do it well" (USATODAY.com). Now mated werewolves Charles Cornick and Anna Latham face a threat like no other--one that lurks too close to home... They are the wild and the broken. The werewolves too damaged to live safely among their own kind. For their own good, they have been exiled to the outskirts of Aspen Creek, Montana. Close enough to the Marrok's pack to have its support; far enough away to not cause any harm. With their Alpha out of the country, Charles and Anna are on call when an SOS comes in from the fae mate of one such wildling. Heading into the mountainous wilderness, they interrupt the abduction of the wolf--but can't stop blood from being shed. Now Charles and Anna must use their skills--his as enforcer, hers as peacemaker--to track down the attackers, reopening a painful chapter in the past that springs from the darkest magic of the witchborn.."--

Oh dear, this was an intense one!

Let's see. I like Anna and Charles, I love how they work and fight with each other, drawing on each other's strength, growing together without trying to change each other. It's one of my favorite couples in the book worlds.

I loved seeing more of Anna's powers, her strenght and also her limitations (like it's difficult to work with too crazed wolfs, because when she withdraws her power again, it almost makes it worse, it's an interesting aspect!)

I hated to see more focus on Leah at first, because god I hated her guts! The way she has treated Mercy when she was a child is simply descpicable and for me one of the reasons Mercy has so much trouble trusting other people. But I kind of get her in this book and she is a very interesting, complex character that enriches this book massively! The way she gives everything to the pack is fascinating and I also like finding out more about Bran and getting more background on him. I think, like many times shown in this series, he always trys to do his best, but he is ruthless enough to deliberately hurt people, not only physically but mentally and it's really interesting to see.

I loved the hunt for the traitor and honestly, I would have never ever EVER expected what happened in the end and I love seeing how it will turn out because I suspect this will have consequences for quite a few books to come.
