But when she reads an newspaper article about a missing teenager and realizes that this is the same boy she had seen in a werewolf cage in the pack leader’s home, she drums up her courage and finally telephones Bran, the Montana-based “Marrok” or leader of all the werewolf packs in North America, to let him know that she had seen the boy. Anna was unwillingly turned into a werewolf three years ago and her life has been miserable since. This novella introduces Anna, a seemingly submissive, sexually and physically abused werewolf in an appalling mess of a pack in Chicago. I give Alpha and Omega 3.75 stars Mona Lisa is 1 star material the other two get maybe 2 1/2 stars, based on the amount I read.Īlpha and Omega: Concurrently with her MERCY THOMPSON urban fantasy series about a coyote shapeshifter and her adventures with werewolves, vampires, fae and other supernatural beings, Patricia Briggs has been writing the ALPHA AND OMEGA series about an “Omega” werewolf, who has unique powers for a werewolf. I happen to be into Briggs' Mercy Thompson series, so I picked up this book at the library so I could read Alpha and Omega, but none of the other three stories had much appeal for me, and one of them ( Mona Lisa Betwining) was positively off-putting. So here's the deal: All four are part of longer urban fantasy series, and - other than Patricia Briggs’ Alpha and Omega, I can't really recommend any of them as stand-alone reads. Review first posted on On the Prowl is an anthology containing four urban fantasy novellas.
