Alpha and Omega 1 Cry wolf - Patricia Briggs

Summary:

Anna is an omega : a rare type of werewolf who has the ability to calm the members of the pack, making it stronger and more united. But Anna was part of a pack where Leo, the alpha, used her badly: sharing her in a sick manner with the members... Charles, the marrok’s son (alpha of all alphas), is going to save Anna and become a mate. Between the two of them, they’re going to find the one who’s responsible for stranges attacks and learn to trust each other.

 

Review:

Alpha & Omega is the new series of Patricia Briggs, who wrote “Mercy Thompson”. Unfortunately, here it doesn’t work. Briggs surely knows how to write and her style is nice, but her books lately are a lot alike and don’t offer any more suprises. Her themes are often the same and give a boring aspect to the text. It’s always about who dominates whom and who is dominated by whom, with an obvious romance... Mercy Thompson is a great series because its main character is strong and ballsy. She shouts louder than the others and yet she’s supposed to be dominated by all of them ! Here, Anna is weak, she’s a victim, and the other characters aren’t very nice... It would be nice for Briggs to get new stuff, just the way Kelley Armstrong did it !

And they'd better hurry before she becomes a prey...

 

Review:

Once again, Kelley Armstrong is offering us a great book. Her writing is addictive. The author takes the characters she introduced in her first novel and adds new spiecies (which will be the heroes of her future books). The story gets more interesting with the addition of Paige and Savannah (the whitches) who are nice characters, unlike the lady vampire and her weird comments. As for Adam, the half demon specialized in fire, he's just awesome ! The idea of a lockdown in the center is quite good, and it makes you think of the fourth season of Buffy the vampire slayer (by the way, Elena has a funny comment about that !). The tone is then set, and has kind of a supernatural Prison break vibe, with all the creatures helping each other to try to find a way out. But the best thing about this book is that Elena is narrating.  She's a strong woman with a big temper. She's also very sarcastic, and the book gets very funny. The reader will see everything through her eyes. The love scenes between Clay and Elena will probably be appreciated by some, but I could do without. Thankfully, the story isn't completely about their relationship. I was sorry to see the second female werewolf die, it would have added some spice to a sequel. To conclude : the book is great and you should read it !
