Dead Heat by Patricia Briggs

Dead Heat (Alpha and Omega, #4)

by Patricia Briggs

"For once, mated werewolves Charles and Anna are not traveling because of Charles's role as his father's enforcer. This time, their trip to Arizona is purely personal-or at least it starts out that way... Charles and Anna soon discover that a dangerous Fae being is on the loose, replacing human children with simulacrums. The Fae's cold war with humanity is about to heat up--and Charles and Anna are in the cross fire" --

What an exciting book to add to this series! The Alpha & Omega series has never been about to outshine Mercy for me but with this book the playing field is a little more even. We got to learn SO MUCH about Charles who has always been a more mysterious character. Anna seems to be comfortable in her role at Charles' side and we met a ton of great new characters. Plus as a bonus this book is set on a horse ranch which only made it so much more fun for me, being the horse lover that I am.

It's always interesting when the fae come out to play. By interesting I mean it came out and killed a ton of children which is, of course, horrible. It was fun learning about this fae creature though and I loved the mystery aspect of the characters trying to figure it out. There was also a lot of family elements in this book as Charles goes to visit an old friend. We see a glimpse into a new pack AND their human offspring. It was really cool to see how that all worked even though it's sad for them to grow old.

I'm now really looking forward to the next book so see what adventures Anna and Charles get up to next.
