Critic reviews

“A complex, supernatural mystery...good fun.” (Locus)

Welp, there ya go....

Well.... I didn’t see that coming! Haha

Charles and Anna are in the middle of a lot of Alpha’s who are not happy with the upcoming news that the wolves will in North America will be coming out of the closet. Too many of the wrong kinds of people know they exist so it’s time to break the bindings the government has on them, but only when Bran is ready to do so.

The European wolves aren’t so happy with this so it’s time to take on their concerns. A conference and negations should have been an easy in and out. No matter their thoughts on it, it was happening. This was Bran’s way of smoothing out a few things. The Marrok is nothing if not prepared.

However Charles and Anna run into a slight problem. There are vampires after Anna, an alpha’s mate is murdered and one of the Alpha’s has been murdered... the web of deceit grows and grows and it’s up to Anna and Charles to discover just what is happening. Who is doing it and how t stop it.... before it’s too late.

Wow

I don't have words to properly describe how this book made me feel. I'll just say you have to listen for yourself to understand.

maybe better than mercy

l particularly like the narrators of the alpha and omega series by Patricia briggs. very well defined and interesting universe.

Great story...

Very good listen...the narrator does an excelent jod with the voices and really engaging the listener's imagination...And of course, P. Briggs always writes a wonderful book....love the whole series..

Can't wait for the next one!

Would you listen to Hunting Ground again? Why?

I will most likely listen to Hunting Ground again before the next one comes out. The story is compelling and since it builds on characters from the Mercy Thompson series, it feels comfortable listening to it.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I'm a big fan of Charles. He's complicated and a little lost. For someone who is supposed to be so

What does Holter Graham bring to the story that you wouldn???t experience if you just read the book?

Holter Graham does a great job with the voices of the different characters. I always know who's speaking and what they're feeling. I would definitely listen to more books narrated by him.

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

I would share a moving experience, but I don't want to spoil it. :)

Fun story great setup

I very much enjoyed this book, my greatest regret is that they killed off a very interesting character that I had hoped to get his own spin off story oh well better luck next time.

Great story

This was more likely the Patricia Briggs Supernatural mystery I really can't to love about the author. Thus was a good story and it showed the building of characters throughout the book. I really Like how the story wasn't really predictable, I found myself a pointing fingers at everyone but in the end was pleasantly surprised. I look forward to seeing where this series is going and if there will be an intermingling of books soon.

better the second time around

I read this book years ago and it took me forever to remember the darn title. however when I say this book is action love and intense I mean it. the OMEGA is proving herself more as her story continues and the narrator is amazing. if he reads all her books. I'll be a very happy listener

Needs To Be A Series!

High quality production. Different than True Blood. Loved the Mercy Thompson series....I really love this one too. Maybe more? 😅 Good twist, to the end. It kept me guessing.

Publisher’s Summary is completely wrong

I was almost a little scared to listen to this one based on the description because of how bad it would be if the Marrok was actually killed. Nothing like that even happens. The real story is great.
When Anna and Charles go to Seattle to meet with the European werewolves to discuss their concerns about opening up to the public, they find that someone is trying to kill Omegas. And now they’re after Anna in particular. So they have to figure out who it is before Anna becomes the next victim.
We meet a lot of great side characters that I wish we had seen more of, and have to delicately traverse some werewolf politics, but it sets up a lot as far as what Charles really does as his fathers enforcer. I love how much Anna and Charles are really hitting their stride and starting to understand the nuances of being an omega and being married to an omega. I like the character growth on both their parts.
Overall it’s definitely worth the listen. Holster Graham has really grown on me as a narrator. I think I’ll have to find more books narrated by him because I like his character voices and his narrating style.
