Christina T (crysteena73) | 558 comments Is the first novella in On the Prowl (Alpha & Omega, #0.5) by Patricia Briggs ? I originally tried reading Cry Wolf (Alpha & Omega, #1) by Patricia Briggs but found I was lost because it felt like I missed an entire book on how Anna came to be where she was especially since it alluded to a lot of past issues. So I quit the book intending to go back and read it later but never did.


lorii (Loriidae) I am lost too Christina...
I think I read somewhere ... but don't remember and got confused.
Where does the Mercy Thompson series come in? For continuity do I need to read that series before this one?

It's a bit complicated because the stories in both series intercept at some point. I'd say read them in order of publication:

#1 Moon Called (2006) (MT)
#2 Blood Bound (2007) (MT)
#3 Iron Kissed (2008) (MT)
#0 Alpha and Omega (2007) (A&O)
#1 Cry Wolf (2008) (A&O)
#2 Hunting Ground (2009) (A&O)
#4 Bone Crossed (2009) (MT)
#5 Silver Borne (2010) (MT)
#6 River Marked (2011) (MT)
#3 Fair Game (2012) (A&O)
#7 Frost Burned (2013) (MT)
#8 Night Broken (2014) (MT)
#8.5 Shifting Shadows (2014)(MT)
#4 Dead Heat (2015) (A&O)

Yup, the prequel novella is a MUST read before reading book 1. That's when Charles & Anna meet.


lorii (Loriidae) Thanks DG - much appreciated. I'll join in as it won't take me long to catch up.

The novella, Alpha & Omega, is found in the anthology, On the Prowl and as a separate book. It must be read before Cry Wolf.

Does everyone here know how to access a book's series list here on Goodreads? It is a lifesaver to avoid reading out of order. There's a Mercy Thompson World series list that reflects D.G.'s post. Here's the link which is on each book's page:

Dosha (Bluestocking7) Beard (bluestocking7) No, I wish. I have to go to shelfari to do that.

Dosha, there's a How to Do Things topic for this. Goodreads series lists are much more reliable now than Shelfari. Here's the link.

Dosha (Bluestocking7) Beard (bluestocking7) thank you, again. :-)
