Patricia Briggs

I only read Patricia Briggs' story to prepare myself for Cry Wolf, Anna and Charles. This story was fantastic, I couldn't put it down.

Good Read - Found a New Author

I originally purchased this book for the Patricia Briggs "Alpha and Omega" short story, which begins the tale her novel "Cry Wolf" continues, and was delighted to find it contained characters from her other Mercy Thompson series. Hopefully that will help me endure the wait until "Bone Crossed" becomes available for my Kindle. In the mean time I also discovered Eileen Wilks and enjoyed another Karen Chance story. I'm not familiar wtih the author Sunny, but that is the shortest story in this book so there's plenty to enjoy if you don't get hooked on the last tale.

mixed bag of novellas

urban fantasy anthology

contains:
"Alpha and Omega" by Patricia Briggs
"Inhuman" by Eileen Wilks
"Buying Trouble" by Karen Chance
"Mona Lisa Betwining" by Sunny

I bought this anthology for the story by Patricia Briggs, as I had heard that it is set in the same world as her Mercy Thompson series. I am glad that I did, as the story was very good. Anna is the lowest level werewolf in her pack in Chicago. She has been abused and raped by most of the men in the pack, in an effort to break her spirit. Only the lead female, who took her under protection, has kept her from killing herself.

But when serious weirdness starts happening, Anna screws up her courage to call the Marrok, king of all werewolves, at his home in Montana, for help. He sends Charles, his son and executioner, and a powerful alpha in his own right, to Chicago in response. Charles immediately realizes that Anna is an omega wolf - an empath and emotional healer - the rarest sort of wolf, and invaluable. There is no excuse and reason for her pack to have treated her in such a foul fashion.

Anna and Charles must face down her pack together.

Great story, with a new novel recently released about these two characters.

The stories by Wilks and Chance were both faily solid. Wilks needs to backpedal the politics a bit, but otherwise they were both enjoyable stories that dealt with the fae world. I would read other things by both authors if I run into any of their books.

The story by Sunny was a plotless Mary Sue soft core porno fest in the worst tradition of Laurell K. Hamilton. Yuck. It really did not fit with the other three stories in any way, shape, or form. I do not think I would ever be willing to read anything by Sunny ever again - though at least she spells and uses grammar better than Hamilton. LOL.

Briggs good others sub~par

The Briggs story was good, alot of romance though.. i would have liked more "meat" to the stories..
Sunny's story was just erotica..Not much in the way of a story.
I did like Eileen Wilks and Chances book. Chances got kinda confusing but hers usually are..
If you are going to read Cry Wolf, Read this short story by Briggs first otherwise the book will be confusing.. I did and was..
