BL: Cry Wolf (Briggs, Patricia)
Patricia Briggs, Cry Wolf
Ace (2008) ISBN: 978-0-441-01615-0
Score: 2
This is the first novel but second story about Anna and Charles; the publisher calls the series Alpha and Omega after the novella (from On the Prowl) that it follows, but I disapprove of that name since Charles isn't an alpha (nor likely to become one anytime soon). This is a spinoff of the Mercedes Thompson urban fantasy series and contains spoilers for Moon Called while being set before the later Mercy books. This series is aimed more at Romance readers than Fantasy[1], and the beginning of this book is a bit slow (partly from the need to inclue readers who didn't see the novella), but once the plot started I had trouble putting it down, and it deepened the characters of Bran and Leah, which was a pleasant surprise.
[1] Something I'm discussing over in bittercon.
Next Book: Martha Wells, "Houses of the Dead"
