Alpha and Omega Patricia Briggs Maurizio Manzieri 9781596062870 Books
My favorite genre to read is mostly paranormal, and here is where I admit that I had never read anything by Patricia Briggs. And now I am kicking myself. I decided to start with this novella because it’s really the first part of the story, and also so that I could see if I enjoyed the way the author wrote before taking on a new series. So reading done and the first I thing I did when I finished this was of course, buy the first real book in the series,Cry Wolf, and immediately start reading. Why? Because I have already fallen in love with the main characters.Anna is a werewolf that was changed against her wishes, and has been living a horrible life ever since. Used by the alpha of her pack as a reward to any werewolf that does good, Anna has been repeatedly raped. She is submissive and has had to do anything that is asked of her, including giving a big part of her wages to the pack, making her almost destitute.That is just told to us so we don’t have to see her go through the rapes-thankfully. Charles is the son of the Marrok, also known as the leader of all the werewolves. He comes to Chicago to visit Anna after she gets the nerve up to tell some things she has witnessed in her pack. I am not going into any more of the story at this point due to this being a novella.
It’s a very short read and actually the story didn’t start until 10 percent into the read due to advertisements of other books by the author/publisher. Usually that doesn’t make me happy, but since the story was so satisfying and good, it really didn’t bother me in the least. Also keep in mind that this was originally part of an anthology, On the Prowl, back in 2007.
Werewolves, packs, alphas, pack rules, and the beginning of a romance, this book has all that.I loved the characters, the premise, and look forward to continuing on with this series.First read by Patricia Briggs ended up being a winner for me all the way around. Highly recommended to all adult paranormal romance/urban fantasy readers.4.5/5 stars (PureTextuality.com)

This is where it all begins for this pair, basically. I don't want to spoil anything for anyone who hasn't read this yet; the summary gives a decent account of the plot. HOWEVER, I loved reading 📚 where the relationship between Anna and Charles began... It's awkward (because they're both scarred and damaged) but also so sweet because they genuinely care about each other and help each other. I dunno, I guess I'm a sap.
It is difficult to tell a complete story in a short format. This prequel is meant as a stand alone and it does the job. The books pick up very soon after the novella ends so you should read this first.
Four stars from me are probably five stars from other readers as I read 300+ books a year and give maybe 5 stars less than 10 times a year and rarely read books others haven't given 4+ stars overall.
If you like this genre, you should read this series.
This is a novella. I'm not generally a fan of novellas because they seem a little shallow and incomplete to me. HOWEVER, Patricia Briggs is rapidly becoming a favorite author. In spite of the short form of this story, I was engrossed in every page. My only complaint...I wanted MORE. Happily, Ms. Briggs has written three complete novels that follow this story world.
If you're a fan of her Mercy Thompson stories (as I am), you know the world--fae and werewolves and vampires and witches. But this is not the usual fantasy world with an incomplete cast. This world is brilliantly imagined, richly detailed including political systems, legal systems, and a fully thought-out social structure. There is nothing incomplete in this world.
Okay, so this Alpha and Omega novella and the three full novels, CRY WOLF, HUNTING GROUND, and FAIR GAME are set within this same world. The only difference is that the spotlight is on a different part of the North American wolf pack run by Bran as the Uber-Alpha. Instead of featuring Adam and Mercy, this set of stories features Bran's son and scary-dangerous enforcer, Charles. (And you know scary dangerous is SUPER-scary dangerous when even the various pack Alphas are scared to death of him!) Instead of being the "enforcer" in this story, he learns how to become a more fully rounded individual as he meets his mate, an Omega wolf Anna.
If you have never visited this world, you will be captured by it. And you will fall in love with Anna and Charles. This novella and the following novels in the Alpha & Omega series are much more of a love story than the more action-advernturish Mercy Thompson books. But it turns out that love is exactly what a scary-dangerous super-Alpha werewolf like Charles needs.
STRONGLY recommended.
Even though I just read this, after finishing book 3 in the series, I'm loving it all! I can't get Enough of Charles and Anna's adventures! Plus the intimacy of getting to know themselves and each other better, in each book. I just can't stop reading them, even to make time to review them yet! But I will get to them.
You can read this novella first. Or u can read it after Book one, Cry Wolf. I personally wish I had known about it, so I'd read it first. It's about how Charles, the Marrok's youngest son, first meets Anna. He learns her plight and was sent there by his father to investigate her pack and protect her. Very Enjoyable and worth the read.
I really loved this, I'm just bummed I didn't read it before starting the series. When I read Cry Wolf, i struggled so much in the beginning and couldn't feel the characters at all, but I loved reading their story. THIS would've made that start spectacular. Hopefully, more readers find out this is the best way to start the series. Even though I knew Charles was half Native American, I kept picturing a white guy—it drove me nuts! But this was like a whole new character. I really wish the author had found a way to put this into book one.
