Publisher's summary

Anna never knew werewolves existed until the night she survived a violent attack…and became one herself. After three years at the bottom of the pack, she’d learned to keep her head down and never, ever trust dominant males. But Anna is that rarest kind of werewolf: an Omega. And one of the most powerful werewolves in the country will recognize her value as a pack member—and as his mate.

A wonderful start to an amazing book series!

Patricia Briggs is my stand out favorite author ever! with that being said I can not get over this book series! So worth it to pick up! Just like Pringles once you pop you can't stop! If you are anything like me you will blow through these books and then wait begging for more! 🤩

Amazing

I really love this series! I own the paperback version as well as this but I needed something to do while driving across country so I choose this option!!! Love it!!!!

Read before the series

Read before you start the series Alpha and Omega. It's a quick read or listen but worth it. The narrator alone is worth the time.

Great series starter...

Love the story. Narrative irritated me in the halting pattern of speech, especially for Anna all the time. Overall I enjoyed it.

Alpha and Omega: A Novella From On The Prowl

What made the experience of listening to Alpha and Omega the most enjoyable?

I enjoy anything Patricia Briggs writes, but this novella was especially helpful because of its background stories. It not only explains the differences that someone that is an Omega brings to the plate, but it also gives us the history behind Charles and Anna's story. However, as much as I enjoy reading anything with Briggs work, I was bowled over by the narrator. Not only did Holter Graham move easily back and forth between characters, but I absolutely feel in love with his rendition of Charles and Bran. Sexy!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Alpha and Omega?

When Anna first calls Bran and asks to speak to The Marrok, and he says, "I am the Marrok, child." You could hear all the world-weariness in his voice that Briggs brings our attention to. I wanted to cry.

Which scene was your favorite?

The end of course! All the bad guys got theirs and the good guys came out the winner, though Charles needs to be healed. I love that Anna found the courage to stand up for herself and her mate.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

It broke my heart that Anna had never been told that werewolves couldn't have children. Thanks to Graham's narration, you can hear her shock and sadness that she had no idea that she couldn't ever have children.

Any additional comments?

Narrators can make or break a book, and Holter Graham brought this one to life and then some. The only person I've heard come close to being able to switch back and forth between characters as seamlessly would be James Marsters (in particular his reading of Jim Butcher's Dresden Files). He makes Charles voice stand out, and sound as masculine and sexy as we think of him. He also defined his father Bran in ways I had never stopped to consider. As well as I thought I knew the head of the American werewolves, Holter's reading gave me alot of insight into Bran and his responsibilities as the Marrok. Again, I say, sexy! I can't wait to listen to other books he's narrated.

Excellent

Patricia Briggs is brilliant with her werewolves' stories. Holger Graham has a fabulous, smooth voice who brings Patricia's world to life. I've listened to this book many times and will again.

great book for travelling!

Narrator was perfect. Exactly how I imagined it when I first read it. This would be a good book for a flight across the country or three-hour Drive.

Perfect start to a great series

Patricia Briggs writes a great one. This is my third time listening to the series and it pulls me in every time.
