Alpha & Omega A Companion Novella to Cry Wolf (Alpha & Omega, Prequel) by Patricia Briggs

Book Description:

Anna Latham never knew werewolves existed, until the night she survived a violent attack... and became one herself. After three years at the bottom of the Chicago pack, she's learned to keep her head down and never, ever trust dominant males. But when she discovers wrongdoing in her pack, she has to go above her Alpha's head to ask for help.Charles Cornick is the son -- and enforcer -- of the leader of the North American werewolves. Now his father has sent him to Chicago to clean up a problem there. Charles never expected to find Anna, a rare Omega wolf -- and he certainly never expected to recognize her as his mate...

This novella was originally published in On the Prowl.

I read this a month or so ago, knowing I'd want to read it again. I love an intense relationship that is subtle and gently unfolding. That's Charles and Anna's relationship. I finished Cry Wolf today, and I decided I had to reread this story. I have a feeling I will reread these stories many times. This is something I don't do much lately, but they are worth it.

I started rereading this again. So much going on in this short story. The way Charles and Anna interact just burrows deep into my heart.

I'm a sucker for romance, and I always real be. This is a really good romance, IMHO.

Carolyn F. This short story totally grabbed me too. Enough that I went on Patricia Briggs' website to see if she would be writing a full length book about them and was excited that she would. They are a great couple.


Darcy (sunnytat462) | 96 comments I will say that this story grabbed me too. I was very interesting in seeing where she took the story from there.


message 6: by Mariel (new)

Mariel (fuchsiagroan) I still need to get this. It was confusing at first to read Cry Wolf without having read the story.


 Danielle The Book Huntress  (gatadelafuente) | 574 comments Mod
I hope you're able to read it soon, Mariel.


SheLove2Read (sherrih95) Re read this one today. Sigh.....Charles is just too yummy.


message 9: by Carolyn F. (new)

Carolyn F. I know isn't he Sherri! I have a major crush on him. He's really sweet in the first full size story too.


SheLove2Read (sherrih95) He sure is. I love how he is with Anna. Can't wait for the next one to come out in 2011

Keri (keri_45) | 8 comments You can say that again Sherri. *sigh*

Akaria Gale | 4 comments Wait until you read Cry Wolf. You'll totally be smitten after that. Anna and Charles are such a great couple. I just love them!


SheLove2Read (sherrih95) I've read it - MANY times! I'm waiting on the new one in the series, due in 2011

Danielle (bookaddict27) | 6 comments Does anyone know what it is going to be called?


SheLove2Read (sherrih95) I looked on her website and it just says "book 3"


message 16: by Danielle (new)

Danielle (bookaddict27) | 6 comments Okay, thanks.


Jessica E (jlovett87) | 21 comments I hope that she can make a long series out of Anna and Charles' story. I could read many books on them.

I think someone said that at present she has only signed 3 more books with her publisher. 1 for Mercy, 1 for Anna and Charles and possibly 1 for Samuel.

I hope she keeps writing both series! And I'd love a Samuel book.


Regina (reginar) | 110 comments Oh wow. That is dissapointing. I am guessing Samuel's would be with the Fae character from Silver Borne. It would be nice to see Samuel happy and in love -- I really like his character.

I did wonder at the end of Silver Borne, now that the triangle is resolved, now that Samuel is with his love again and now that Mercy is full accepted into the pack and mated with Adam -- where does this go? Those were all underlying struggles that Mercy was dealing with. I really like Patricia Briggs's voice, I hope she keeps writing both series.


AlbertaJenn | 26 comments I read the story after I read Cry Wolf. Then all the pieces fit. Should have read it before. :o


Annie  (anncraven) | 1 comments Just thought I would share this...

Emily | 31 comments I've reread this one too-love it so much! I wish she'd release a new edition of Cry Wolf with this included-it adds so much to the story and sets up the novels so well.
Fair Game is coming out Match 6-hurray!


Liz Barrons-Kattalakis-Quiakides-Tehrror | 22 comments On the Prowl (includes Alpha & Omega #0.5 World of the Lupi #3.5 Monère #4 Dorina Basarab #1.1) by Patricia Briggs was a pretty good book with the exception of SUNNY's novella...I HATED that one...it did not made any sense.

Soooo true! Wasn't it just running around in the woods having sex in a variety of different positions...


Liz Barrons-Kattalakis-Quiakides-Tehrror | 22 comments YUP... it was really all nonsense!!!!! I love PNR specially the sexy kind but Sunny's story was just bad!!!!!


message 26: by Teena (new)

Teena | 5 comments I missed that there was a short story until after I read the first book. I kept thinking it was a strange way to start a book, leaving out everything from Chicago and Anna and Charles wolf's mating! I guess I will have to find it and read it!


Ann aka Iftcan (iftcan) | 297 comments Tina--I think you can get it for like 99cents for Kindle and Nook. Or at least, it was available at one point in time for that. Try Patty's web-site too.


Darcy (sunnytat462) | 96 comments The audio of the this one is coming out next month for the first time.


 Danielle The Book Huntress  (gatadelafuente) | 574 comments Mod
Oh that would be awesome to listen on audio.


Darcy (sunnytat462) | 96 comments I hope it is the same narrator as the rest of the series, he does a great job.


 Danielle The Book Huntress  (gatadelafuente) | 574 comments Mod
Yeah, I think they should always stick with the same narrator, if he is good, that is.


Ann aka Iftcan (iftcan) | 297 comments And some narrator's should be fired and NEVER allowed to do another book. The narrator who did Metro Girl seriously sucked. If I hadn't read the book first and KNEW that it was good, I probably would have decided that Janet Evanovich couldn't write and would have never read another book by her again. I don't even remember who it was (other than female) but it ALSO turned me off of audio books for a very long time. I'm only just starting to gingerly get back into listening to them.


 Danielle The Book Huntress  (gatadelafuente) | 574 comments Mod
yeah, I have a narrator in mind who should never do a book in my favorite series...every again!
