Description

THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

In her bestselling Alpha and Omega series, Patricia Briggs "spins tales of werewolves, coyote shifters, and magic and, my, does she do it well" (USA Today Online). Now mated werewolves Charles Cornick and Anna Latham face a threat like no other--one that lurks too close to home...

They are the wild and the broken. The werewolves too damaged to live safely among their own kind. For their own good, they have been exiled to the outskirts of Aspen Creek, Montana. Close enough to the Marrok's pack to have its support; far enough away to not cause any harm.

With their Alpha out of the country, Charles and Anna are on call when an SOS comes in from the fae mate of one such wildling. Heading into the mountainous wilderness, they interrupt the abduction of the wolf--but can't stop blood from being shed. Now Charles and Anna must use their skills--his as enforcer, hers as peacemaker--to track down the attackers, reopening a painful chapter in the past that springs from the darkest magic of the witchborn...

    This is another exceptional book by Patricia B.- her writing is so consistently outstanding that I never need to check reviews in order to decide on getting the next book in the series. I’m now on to more great reading in Book 6. This was another (5) Star 🌟 read all the way. Thank you P.B.- Cincy Kid 68!

    I have throughly enjoyed all of Patricia Briggs books, in both the Alpha and Omega Series, as well as the Mercy Thompson Series. I also enjoy the way she alternated between the two, one year she releases an Alpha Omega book and the next year a Mercy Thompson one.

  • Good but not great

    Not that my review matters... Love this series, love the characters. I’ve bought them all. Somewhere, I think, in the writing, two stories were made into one for this book, and some odd bits were left in that really don’t work with the story and some other bits were done that shouldn’t have. I know that fans know the universe sometimes better than the author because of frequent readings and studying of the books. I think this is one of the those books. Some things in here don’t connect.

  • Worth a Buy

    Definitely a book worth a read. My favorite series among Ms. Briggs’ books. However I’m glad the heroine wasn’t kidnapped again this time....

  • Great Read Indeed

    You will fall in love with the characters of this book, their pack and all that life encompases for Charles, the pack enforcer and his Omega mate. Patricia Briggs keeps you on the edge of your seat with adventure & suspense and opens your heart and mind to life in a werewolf pack. I am a huge fan of Patricia Brigss series, Alpha and Omega & Mercy Thompson. I am thankful for each new book release allowing me a glimpse into the rich characters and their exciting lives. I anxiously await the Mercy Thompson release scheduled for later this year. Thank you Patricia.

  • Love this author but.....

    The last few books from this author, of which I’m a huge fan, have been boring. Great storytelling but boring. Not sure if worth the price when others are better for less. Ms. Briggs, we want Conflict and Romance, not a namby pamby story.

  • Awesome

    Another can’t put it down story by Patricia Briggs. Love her Anna, Charles and Bran stories as much as I do the Mercy stories. Anna is really growing into her Omega status, an awesome story line. Thanks Ms Briggs for your wonderful stories

    I love the Mercy Thompson series and the Alpha and Omega series. I just finished a three day marathon of re-reading all ten Mercy books. It is stated, sometimes several times in these books, how Bran considers Mercy a “beloved daughter”. Marsilia’s vampire seethe, the fae, and in book ten, the Lord of Night are all told how Bran raised the little coyote pup, Mercy, and how he cares for her as a father and would go to war if she is harmed. The books are fun, the fantasy world of werewolves, fae, vampires and the gutsy walker mechanic is exciting, and the loyalty and integrity of the characters is often admirable. Then the author changes it in Burn Bright. How could this happen??? Anna suggests there’s something funny between Bran, the centuries old Marrok and Mercy. In past books, Samuel, Bran’s oldest son has spoken of Bran and Mercy’s relationship. As an adult, he would have noticed if Bran had romantic feelings for Mercy, but he always said Bran cared for Mercy as a beloved daughter. Now, in this latest book, Charles claims that Bran was “ funny about Mercy, but wouldn’t make a move on Mercy because he wouldn’t cheat on his mate”. Eww! It does not fit. It is a betrayal of the integrity of the series, the integrity of the Marrock, and it is a betrayal to the loyal readers. I hope this is just an aberration and not a preview of future books. The rest of the story was interesting and exciting enough to keep me up all night reading,

    Always sad when any Briggs’ books is over. This series is easily as good as the Mercy Thompson series,and in some ways the main characters are more fully developed, and seem more real, but unfortunately the Alpha/Omega books seem shorter. Briggs is definitely the master of urban fantasy and I can’t wait for her next novel!

  • The plot twist

    So excited for the book! It’s so exciting to read more of the back story of some of the other pack members of Bran’s pack and what was the hierarchy beyond the status of just the regular pack members. But the plot twist on how story went was shocking to say the least. Some of the POV switching kind of broke the immersion of it while I was reading but at the same time it was quite refreshing to see what’s going on with the other characters. I went in not knowing exactly what was going to happen and came out think “did that just happen?” It was a bit underwhelming compared to the other books in this series, but it was still definitely a good read if you enjoy this series.
