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)

Perfection

Loved the story and narrator. There was just the right blend of everything. I love the growth in Charles and Anna over the course of the series. Do yourself a favor and start with the first novella and move forward. It's not necessary as these are stand alone books but it will enrich your experience.

Deeper than usual

I love when an author is able to once in awhile dive deeper into main characters struggles and background without what I despise is having them shut down completely and am thankful that didn't happen.
I hope we continue to see Charles & Anna's struggles find positive solutions, and the story doesn't lose its' charm and wit along the way - so far that hasn't happened : )

good story

love it, as always Charles and Anna are awesome and I really like Isaac. I just really disappointed in the human verdict

Transitions!

Love the stories. And the narrator is very good, keeping voices of myriad characters distinct and believable. What he does not do, however, is pause between changes of scene - this is the third book in this series by him, and I find myself frequently hitting the backward skip button because of this mannerism.
