Publisher's summary

Patricia Briggs' Alpha and Omega series - set in a world of shifting shapes, loyalty, and passion - brings werewolves out of the darkness and into a society in which fear and prejudice could make the hunters prey....

They say opposites attract. And in the case of werewolves Anna Latham and Charles Cornick, they mate. The son - and enforcer - of the leader of the North American werewolves, Charles is a dominant alpha, while Anna, an omega, has the rare ability to calm others of her kind.

Now that the werewolves have revealed themselves to humans, they can't afford any bad publicity. Infractions that could have been overlooked in the past must now be punished, and the strain of doing his father's dirty work is taking a toll on Charles.

Nevertheless, Charles and Anna are sent to Boston when the FBI requests the pack's help on a local serial killer case. They quickly realize that not only the last two victims were werewolves - all of them were. Someone is targeting their kind. And now Anna and Charles have put themselves right in the killer's sights....

Critic reviews

"The Alpha and Omega series gets its next transfixing installment as Anna and Charles undertake a critical assignment. This procedural hunt for a serial killer is mesmerizing and breathtakingly intense. Briggs never disappoints!” (RT Book Reviews)

“Once again Patricia Briggs nails it - the perfect blend of action, romance, suspense and paranormal. Fair Game has it all.” (Rex Robot Reviews)

Well written

All her books are good but this is her best series. The character development is very good. She has long segments where people are sitting around talking at a table but it is still very enjoyable because she digs so deep into what each character is thinking. Yes there is action but basically it is a 'character study' book.

The only negative is that sometimes it is repetitive with the "the wolf wants to protect his mate" stuff. I mean we get that the first dozen times :)

Loved this book!

This book was fantastic - I didn't want to stop listening to it.
Holter Graham is an amazing Narrator.
I love Charles & Anna they are perfect for each other & never ever get boring (Graham is great at doing Charles' sexy voice) . Briggs has created an amazing world that's fun, exciting & intriguing & you can't help becoming emotionally invested in these characters lives. I definitely recommend this series for everyone!

Amazingly good from beginning to end

It stands alone well but is more when added to the Mercy Thompson series.

TOO LONG IN COMING!

Where does Fair Game rank among all the audiobooks you???ve listened to so far?

This series is very good, interesting and appealing. Right off the bat I was drawn in by the storyline, anticipating the next book! Anna and Charles's struggles have been easy to relate to and as a werewolf tale is does the genre proud. If I had two wishes it would be for the next books to be released sooner and for the story length to be longer.

What about Holter Graham???s performance did you like?

I love Holter Graham as a narrator! His voice is very pleasant to the ear and I have sought out other books he has narrated.

Any additional comments?

I find the story of Anna and Charles very engaging and entertaining and I am always looking forward to the next one but??? I find the extreme length of time between books disappointing. Because of this the reader risks loosing their closeness to the characters and storyline.

Loved it, wish there were more & they were longer

Love all of these books wish there were more and wish they were longer. I would definitely reccommend these to anyone

Worth the wait!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes - best story of the series so far with impacts to Mercy Thompson series.

Have you listened to any of Holter Graham’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Holter Graham did an excellent job as always in this series. A favorite narrator.

Any additional comments?

Really enjoyed this story. I love Anna & Charles and have missed them since Hunting Ground! I loved seeing Anna now with the confidence in being loved and safe and in who she is. I loved the change in the world of the wolves and the fae and can't wait to see what happens in the next Mercy book!

Third book not the best but still love the series.

I love the story of Charles and Anna and their unique connection in this series. The first two had me so inthusiastic for the story but Fair Game was missing something the other two had. A tad dull and not as intense as I was hoping for.

I am still excited about this series and I look forward to reading it all but I hope the next picks it up better than this one did for me.

Patricia Briggs is a terrific writer, I love all her stories and Holter Graham is perfect reader here.

Great

Loved this story. Briggs never disappoints.
Anna and Charles’ bond can’t be broken.
I loved that we got a little of Bran’s POV

wonderful

3rd one is as good as the others. wonderful story telling experince. had me hooked from begining to end

Best in series so far?

I really enjoy the story of this book series and this one in particular is probably my favorite so far.

Without giving away any major spoilers: we get to learn more about our main characters, but also more about other kinds of mysterious species - all with the backdrop of chasing an unknown serial killer.

The ending made my mouth drop open.

This was a very unexpected and magical journey indeed.
