I give Alpha and Omega 3.75 stars Mona Lisa is 1 star material the other two get maybe 2 1/2 stars, based on the amount I read.Īlpha and Omega: Concurrently with her MERCY THOMPSON urban fantasy series about a coyote shapeshifter and her adventures with werewolves, vampires, fae and other supernatural beings, Patricia Briggs has been writing the ALPHA AND OMEGA series about an “Omega” werewolf, who has unique powers for a werewolf. I happen to be into Briggs' Mercy Thompson series, so I picked up this book at the library so I could read Alpha and Omega, but none of the other three stories had much appeal for me, and one of them ( Mona Lisa Betwining) was positively off-putting. So here's the deal: All four are part of longer urban fantasy series, and - other than Patricia Briggs’ Alpha and Omega, I can't really recommend any of them as stand-alone reads. Review first posted on On the Prowl is an anthology containing four urban fantasy novellas. 'Mona Lisa Betwining' by Sunny is set in the Children of the Moon universe. She finds herself put up for auction, with a Lord of the Fey amongst the bidders. Claire is a rare projective null, on the run from her family. 'Buying Trouble' by Karen Chance is set in Cassie Palmer's world (Dorina Basarab 1.1).

It comes just before Night Season, chronologically. 'Inhuman' by Eileen Wilks is the story of Kai Tallman Michalski and her mysterious neighbor, Nathan Hunter. When Charles Cornick comes to town, she's terrified-but she finds herself oddly comforted by his presence, as well. Anna Latham has lived a nightmare since surviving the attack that turned her into a werewolf. 'Alpha and Omega' by Patricia Briggs is set in the same universe as the Mercy Thompson trilogy, and should be read before Cry Wolf. These all-new paranormal romances from today's hottest authors feature a female werewolf who comes into her own a Lord who crosses paths with a fiery mage a mixed-blood Child of the Moon who faces an uncertain future and a woman whose sixth sense proves to be a dangerous talent.
