Cry Wolf by Patricia Briggs is the first book about Charles and Anna Cornick, alpha and omega werewolves. It's also the book that introduces Asil, a very old and sometimes very scary werewolf known as the Moor, who is the focus of Briggs' latest book Blind Date With a Werewolf.
It'd been so long since I first read Cry Wolf, I wanted to reread it so I could better remember Asil's backstory. And I'm so glad I did. I enjoyed it even more this second time around. Anna and Charles are great together. And there's lots of good action, suspense, and magic in it.
Blind Date With a Werewolf, on the other hand, was unexpectedly funny! All the things that go wrong on Asil's five blind dates just made me laugh. I loved Asil's humor through it all, even as the body count climbed. Each blind date is like a separate short story, but a connecting thread seamlessly weaves them all together. I wasn't sure I would like this format, but Patricia Brigg's writes so well, her books are the epitome of urban fantasy. And this novel is delightful. I ended up giving it 5 stars because it was just so fun.
Happy Reading!
I love Patricia Brigg's writing but have only read six of her Mercy Thompson series, none of of her Alpha and Omega books. I gather you like them and they're worth a try?
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I've only read a few of her Alpha and Omega series. I like them, but not as much as her Mercy Thompson books. Those are my favs by far. So if you have to choose, choose that series for sure.
DeleteI read Cry Wolf years ago and loved it! I need to go back and reread it. Blind Date with a Werewolf sounds like so much fun!

I gave Blind Date five stars too -- so much fun! I do love Charles and Anna, and I'd love to go back to the early books in the series. Maybe in 2026, since the next book isn't coming out until November!
