Cry Wolf (Alpha and Omega, Book 1) Cry Wolf by Patricia Briggs

Cry Wolf (Alpha and Omega, Book 1) Cry Wolf by Patricia Briggs


My review


rating: 1+1/2 of 5 stars the extra 1/2 comes from the 2nd part of the book.
I really enjoy urban fantasy, love Kim Harrison’s Hollow’s series which includes a little werewolf lore but had never read a novel focusing on werewolves and packs and just wasn’t drawn into the story much at all. I hadn’t read Briggs’s first series “Mercy” but started with this because it was an Urban Fantasy group read last August before I’d joined and thought I’d give it read. It’s very slow to get moving but about halfway through the pace picks up and it was a little better then the beginning had been. The main characters are somewhat likeable but the rest of the pack were either not very well fleshed out or unlikeable. It was good enough to finish but it’ll probably be a long time before I read another fantasy that focuses on werewolves. If you’re a big fans of werewolves or the Twilight series you may enjoy it, if not I’d give this a pass.

Friend me over at Goodreads

I'm new to Goodreads and looking for Friends that enjoy the same types of books I do, such as High Fantasy, like LOTR, Urban Fantasy like the Kim Harrison Hollows series, funny Urban Fantasy like Undead and Unwed or Thorne Smith's Topper, gritty realistic fantasy like The Blade Itself (The First Law Book One) by Joe Abercrombie, fantasy with a mystery theme like Nury Vittachi - The Feng Shui Detective, kick ass witches like Magic Lost, Trouble Found (Raine Benares, Book 1) by Lisa Shearin, YA like Artemis Fowl. If your tastes run the same, friend me so we can trade recommendations. My Goodreads profile can be found here.
