Anna forgets to ask Bran for his investigator’s description, but at the airport, Anna recognizes the man immediately.Ĭharles is a werewolf whose force of personality is such that people can’t look away from him.
He suggests she avoid her pack members, who may retaliate against her for calling him, and meet the man he has sent at the airport. Though she is terrified of werewolves, and of dominant werewolves most especially, the article galvanizes Anna into calling Bran, the Marrok, or alpha of all of North America’s werewolf packs, in the hopes that the young man who has disappeared can be saved.īran tells Anna that he already knows about the situation and has dispatched someone to Chicago to deal with it. To say that Anna’s wolf pack mistreats her is an understatement: the alpha of her pack, a werewolf named Leo, not only takes some of her earnings, but he has allowed the men in the pack to beat her and to pass her around.Īfter being raped repeatedly, Anna finally found a way to put a stop to the worst of the abuse, but the threat of being brutalized further is still hanging over her when she sees an article in the newspaper about the disappearance of a young man whom Leo had held captive. Three years ago, Anna was changed into a werewolf against her will. But I would have been wrong, and I’d have missed out on the start of a wonderful series.Ī waitress at an Italian restaurant in Chicago, Anna Latham is also a werewolf. If someone had given me a bare bones description of Alpha and Omega - “Alpha werewolf hero, sexually traumatized heroine who possesses special abilities she is unaware of, and instant attraction between mates” - I might have written it off, thinking I’d read that before. Here I sit, bleary-eyed from lack of sleep, trying to explain the euphoric grin I’m wearing.
I am, I think, going to have to review both together. Alpha and Omega and Cry Wolf made me feel that way.īecause of the way I read them - first Alpha and Omega (from the anthology On the Prowl), then Alpha and Omega again, and then again Alpha and Omega, then Cry Wolf, and then more bits and pieces of Alpha and Omega and favorite parts (which means a good portion of the book) of Cry Wolf - and because they follow the same main characters and the same romantic relationship, it is hard for me to separate the two.
Once in a while there comes a book that sweeps you off your feet, a book you fall in love with so completely that it is hard to do justice to that love in a review.
