Alpha and Omega Series By Patricia Briggs

Books:

On The Prowl

Cry Wolf

Hunting Ground

Fair Game

Review:

I recently reread the entire Alpha and Omega series and thought I’d do a review of the series so far. Since I’ve already read the books a few times I decided not to write a post for each book.

On the Prowl is just a short little novella but it does a good job of introducing the characters. I wasn’t as impressed by Cry Wolf, but Hunting Ground was good. What makes me unsure whether or not I love this series more than the Mercy Thompson series is the last book, Fair Game.

Holy cow when I finished Fair Game my first thought was this shit is getting good. With that ending her world was going to get a lot more violent and political. I’m really excited for the next book in this series.

The Mercy Thompson series is focused on one wolf pack but this series is about a couple that are part of the Merrick’s pack. The Merrick is the leader of all the North American wolves so there’s bigger things going on in this series than the other.

My only complaint is that we don’t get a book every year like with the Mercy Thompson series.

Oh well, that’s life.

Overall I would say this series is a 4 star series. I love it and it would be a 5 star but Cry Wolf just doesn’t do much for me. Lots of character building so I don’t recommend skipping it though.

4/5

Night Broken By Patricia Briggs

Plot:

An unexpected phone call heralds a new challenge for Mercy. Her mate Adam’s ex-wife is in trouble, on the run from her new boyfriend. Adam isn’t the kind of man to turn away a person in need—and Mercy knows it. But with Christy holed up in Adam’s house, Mercy can’t shake the feeling that something about the situation isn’t right.

Soon, her suspicions are confirmed when she learns that Christy has the farthest thing from good intentions. She wants Adam back and she’s willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen, including turning Adam’s pack against Mercy.

Mercy isn’t about to step down without a fight, but there’s a more dangerous threat circling. Christy’s ex is more than a bad man—in fact, he may not be human at all. As the bodies start piling up, Mercy must put her personal troubles aside to face a creature with the power to tear her whole world apart.

Review:

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! Why do I have to read so fast? I bought this book the day it came out and then put off reading it as long as I could. I knew that even with a new baby I would read too fast and it would be over so quickly, and it was.

Loved this book! The dynamic between Mercy and Christy was great and I couldn’t wait for Mercy to put her in her place. That scene did not disappoint. I do wonder if Briggs is getting tired of nearly killing Mercy, it seems like most if not all of her books end with Mercy in a hospital bed.

As soon as I finished Night Broken I started to re-read The Alpha and Omega series (I prefer it my a smidge to the Mercy Thompson series). Since there are only three books in that series I’m already done and now I’m re-reading Mercy Thompson. I love Patricia Briggs and wish she wrote faster, or at the very least that I could find someone else that creates characters and a world so compelling.

If you have any recommendations let me know. Once I’ve finished re-reading all of Patricia Briggs I’ll be moving on to re-reading all of Ilona Andrews and then I will be super sad because I’ve yet to find authors in their genre as good.

5/5
