Now Briggs begins an extraordinary new series set in Mercy Thompson?s world?but with rules of its own.

INTRODUCING THE ALPHA AND OMEGA NOVELS...

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 will recognize her value as a pack member?and as his mate.

Excellent new universe!

I thoroughly enjoyed this. There are so many books in this genre, but Briggs manages to breathe new life into it. I really liked the atmosphere she created in this universe and it was appealing and different having the main couple already essentially 'paired' from the get go, i.e. not having to worry about the will they won't they aspect, but still being able to see their relationship with each other grow and develop. That's the romance aspect of it, which I enjoy (being a romance fan), but this is a fantasy genre and this she does equally well, combining them both to create a page turner of a tale! I'm thoroughly interested in Bran and Samuel now too and I'm looking forward to future installments!

Worth reading...but not first

This is the first book that I've read by this author and since it was supposed to be the first in a series decided to give it a try. It was pretty obvious from the start that I'd missed something...a short story that introduced the characters! Maybe you don't need to read that first but I have to think that it would have helped. There were also characters mentioned who I've since discovered were from an earlier series. So my advice...read the earlier series - then the short story - then this book!

Missing the beginning

I felt like an outsider. Problem was that I didn't read the anthology. The story begins out of nowhere and suddenly you are right in the middle of it. You are supposed to know the main characters, to know how they met/feel/think. There is enough background to understand what is happening and why, but not enough to 'feel' these characters. I like this author so I guess I got a wrong start. My advise: read the anthology first.

Not really what I expected

This story which began in 'On the Prowl' was a little dissappointing. I really expected a more to come out of the relationship between Anne and Charles. I understand that Anne is a Omega, which basically means she is submissive in her nature, but she also seemed to be to so worried about everything that I dont think that her true self shines through. The story line was somewhat confusing, you have to try to remember who was connected to who and how everything relates. I bought this book because I wanted to know what happened to Anne and Charles, how their relationship grew, however I think they learn to accept each other, I do not think they love each other. Or maybe their maybe how their feelings are expressed is so mixed up with everything else I didnt see it.
