I just finished my review of Cry Wolf and I'm hoping it will run on Dear Author next week sometime. I don't want to divulge too much before the review runs but if you like I can probably email you a sneak peek. Thanks!

I've been looking forward to the new series by Patricia Briggs and had forgotten this short story. I remember I bought the anthology just for that reason. (I don't like them either!)

I liked the Karen Chance story too, but then, I'm a big fan of her books :-) The Briggs story was the best in this anthology IMO.

I did the same thing. Picked it up for the Briggs story. Blew through that one and put it back down. I can't wait to get my hands on <i>Cry Wolf</i>. Anna and Charles are going to make quite the team. Btw, Charles makes a brief appearance in the first Mercy Thompson book, <i>Moon Called</i>, when Mercy drives Adam up to Bran's place in Montana to be healed. We don't really see him again but we do hear about him being dispatched to deal with the "situation" in Chicago. And "Alpha and Omega" is that trip. Lol. I did the same thing.

I can't recall if Charles was ever mentioned but neither has ever appeared in the Mercy Thompson universe. This is my first introduction to them both.

Is "Alpha and Omega" the first appearance of Anna and Charles or do they also appear in the Mercy Thompson books? I have read <i>Moon Called </i>and don't remember them being in there, but it's been a while since I read the book. I'm asking the question because I'm very interested in <i>Cry Wolf </i>but I want to start their story from the beginning. Keishon, thanks so much for the review.

The publisher's use to release the novella's separately and sell them for $2.99. I haven't seen them do that in awhile. So glad you're enjoying the Mercy Thompson series!

Thanks you very much because I just loved the first two books <i>Moon Called </i>and <i>Blood Bound</i>. I haven't read <i>Iron Kissed </i>yet. Now, after reading your review of this short story involving Charles and Anna, it looks like I have another book to add to the stack. The only thing is I hate anthologies too. I don't like short stories, I like mine nice and thick, the meatier the better. I also don't like to pay the high price, because you never know if you will like the other stories and chances are rare that you will enjoy all of them. So what's a thrifty reader to do? I seriously doubt my library will get this book. They don't usually have anthologies. Just thinking out loud - I wonder if I could get an inter-library loan. Hmmm... anyway thanks for the recommendation! Hi Keishon,
