They retreated to their reservations and all but disappeared. In the previous book, Fair Game, the Fae declared themselves a separate nation after one of theirs didn’t receive justice from humans. The development of the relationship has been a slow and intricate thing, and many subtleties will be missed if you skip the earlier books (though I do not think it’s necessary to read the Mercy Thompson series in order to enjoy this one). While I’m not one who needs to read in order, I believe this series should be read from the beginning.
The way Charles and Anna both grew in this story was wonderful and the external plot was engaging and interesting. This is, hands down, my favorite Briggs novel to date. I had no idea I’d end up loving it as much as I did. I knew I was in for a good story before I started, simply because it’s Charles and Anna. While I love Mercy, Adam, and the rest of the Columbia Basin crew, Charles and Anna are my favorites. I didn’t read my first Briggs book until 2012 and I started with the Alpha and Omega series. The fae’s cold war with humanity is about to heat up-and Charles and Anna are in the cross fire. Charles and Anna soon discover that a dangerous fae being is on the loose, replacing human children with simulacrums. Or at least their visit starts out that way. This time, their trip to Arizona is purely personal, as Charles plans to buy Anna a horse for her birthday at the big Scottsdale horse show. Now a pleasure trip drops the couple into the middle of some bad supernatural business… For once, mated werewolves Charles and Anna are not traveling because of Charles’s role as his father’s enforcer.
Praised for being “the perfect blend of action, romance, suspense, and paranormal,”* Patricia Briggs’s Alpha and Omega novels transport readers into the realm of the werewolf, where Charles Cornick and Anna Latham embody opposite sides of the shifter personality.
