Cry Wolf

Anna is a little too much of a "special snowflake" for my tastes, but otherwise not bad. ( )

I have been waiting for this book, after reading the short story that introduced the characters. I think it might be hard to track what's going on if you haven't read the Mercy Thompson books, so go read those first. You're going to want to read them after this one anyway, so you might as well start there.

Still loving this series. Turns out the Audio book is great as well. read 2x. ( )

I love that we get a series where we get to see the inner workings of the Cornick family. And Charles, mysterious Charles, we get to see you unlocked at last!

The biggest thing I liked about this was seeing Anna's relationship develop with Charles and also see glimpses of Bran's relationship with Leah. I felt so sorry for Leah, after reading this. I thought it was really clear that Bran, while he has one face in front of Mercy and Anna that is sweet and endearing, is just as much dislikeable in many ways as Leah. And I say that as someone who appreciates the nuances in both characters. And dislikes them at times. Leah may be hard to like. She is cruel to Mercy. But she shows you her true face. Bran is an out and out manipulator. He is Alpha of all North America for a reason. Hard to blame Leah for feeling put out over being used to subdue the monster. It's so wonderfully clever how Patricia Briggs sets up all her characters to be so flawed... and how she has put them into interesting scenarios of their own making.

Anyway, I loved seeing Charles so protective of Anna. I loved seeing the beginnings of that relationship form, how instaneous it was, and I just love this series as a whole. ( )

Really enjoyed this one, I love the mercy series so I guess that's to be expected. Definitely a good spin off ( )

Love this series ( )
