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.

Critic reviews

“Fans of the vampire series by Charlaine Harris and Mary Jane Davidson will also enjoy Briggs' fantasy adventures.” (Booklist)

Good story but not Great story

Narrator was good, there were some parts where you have to go back to make sure exactly who's supposed to be talking because the different characters feel blended in. I felt like this story was hastily put together and 4 hrs would've been enough to say it all. The book leaves you with a lot of unanswered questions, unexplained issues and frustratingly bland characters.

With no spoilers, this whole book is 1 non complex adventure that the main character is thrown into and after all the fluff has a very anticlimactic ending. There's no personal development only trauma and fear, they don't explore Anna's growth or explain who and what she really is. This book almost makes her seem dumb and her wolf weak. Some time was given to the secondary characters but it felt almost wasteful with how one of them ended up after so much potential was lost.

It's a book worth reading or hearing once, but unless the series is heavily discounted I'll be okay with just this one.

Anna realizes her strengths

This story picks up immediately from book 0.5 Alpha and Omega.
Anna and Charles have just returned to Montana and he’s still recuperating from being shot with silver bullets. Their wolves are able to connect and mate, but not their human sides, as Anna has only begun to recover from her abuse. Anna accompanies Charles into the mountains after a rogue werewolf, only to find its a witch who’s been trailing after the Moor. It takes 5 of the wolves to take down the witch and her black magic before she can take over the pack.
Graham does an OK job of narration.

Amazing story but read prequel first!

I love the alpha and omega series but I really recommend reading the prequel story from shifting shadows before reading cry wolf it clarifies the entire story. But this book is awesome and understandable without the prequel. I give it two thumbs up

Just what I wanted

I had been looking gfor a new auther and haven't had any luck, until now. This is just what I wanted and look forward to reading the rest in the searies.

I enjoyed every minute of it.

I’m a fan of the Mercy Thompson series, therefore I was somewhat familiar with the some of the characters. The story held my interest. The narrator did an excellent job. I look forward to the next book in the series.

Fantastic story line of witchcraft and romance

Well written for a genre that sometimes gets to fancy full this actually sounds like it’s a possibly we are clues in before the rest of humanity finds out

Mmmmmmm..... a lovely listen

I love Mercy Thompson series and this follows on and I was not disappointed. I couldn't stop listening to it, good wolf-shifter romance story with interesting characters and an evil witch.

I was a bit lost in the beginning and noticed another reviewer mentioned Alpha and Omega in the book On The Prowl which, no doubt, would have helped a lot but it's not available on Audible and it's by no means absolutely necessary as the storyline is soon picked up.

Worth the credit? I've downloaded all available - so what do you think.

The best!

LOVED the book & the narrator!
Finished it in two days and got the second book of this series, can not wait for more from this amazing author! ( Mercy's books as well )

Sweet Romance with Great Story

Would you consider the audio edition of Cry Wolf to be better than the print version?

Yes

What did you like best about this story?

The story was not full of sex. The romance was sweet. I also liked the plot. It went together smoothly.

Which character – as performed by Holter Graham – was your favorite?

Charles

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

overall a great book

This book is well written and well read. The only thing that lowers it a bit is that unless you know to get the short story first and read it, it is hard to understand what exactly happened to Anna.
