I enjoyed this spin-off of Briggs' Mercy Thompson series, first introduced in a short story anthology. I'm looking forward to the next installment.

Happy dance commencing. I should start out by saying I'm a fan of Patricia Briggs' books since "Moon Called", the first Mercedes Thompson book. So I was anxious to get my hands on "Cry Wolf" which is set in Mercy's world, but isn't about Mercy per se.

I really like the fact that the heroine in this book is Anna. In the last Mercedes book, Anna was introduced as the horribly brutalized, forcibly turned Omega. In "Cry Wolf" Anna is finding her strength, both by herself and with the help of her mate, Charles. She's also finding out about all the things her old Alpha didn't tell her; such as her abilities as an Omega and exactly what the heck an Omega is!! As a victim of a sex crime myself, I'm always proud when I see heroines who overcome in the face of the horrible memories and PTSD that almost always accompany victims of these crimes. Anna is great. Watching her rebuild her self-esteem and find the bravery she lost is very satisfying.

Charles is a hottie too! Although he's a powerful Alpha himself and the enforcer for the Marrok (head of the U.S. werewolves), he forces himself to temper his possessiveness and find the gentleness he thought he'd lost in order to help Anna with her issues.

I enjoyed the plot. I enjoyed the dynamics between these two, and I'll be looking for another book about Anna and her Charles to see how much stronger these two will be together.

Be aware that I would classify this and Briggs' other books as Urban Fantasy vice romance. There is a bit of sex, but it's not a large part of the story.
