The Call of the Wild (Singer):
A woman goes hiking with her dog in the northern California mountains, searching for the hidden settlement her father calls home. After a long search she finds the encampment — really a small town — but her father is gone, along with every other person who lived in Wild Sign.

Back to the Mercyverse!! One of my favorite fantasy worlds ever!
As an Alpha and Omega novel, we know Charles and Anna are frontpage. Ana, the Omega that has stabilized Bran's pack of unstable powerful werewolves and Charles, Bran's son, the enforcer. If Charles shows up, you know someone has misbehaved and death is close. Charles is only different around Ana. She sees parts of him that no one else does.
So what's Wild Sign about?

Wow, this was intense!!!!
Again, the author wrote an unputdownable story. Full of magic, and also some very fascinating revelations. And as always, whenever I read a new book by Patricia Briggs I get completely sucked into the story and world, and the wait for the next book seems awfully long.
Also Anna was my favorite character this time. She impressed the hell out of me!

I don't like that much the urban fantasy genre with its thick skinned heroines and its outmoded furry or blood thirsty creatures. But I am a huge fan of Anna and Charles. Alpha and Omega defies the laws of the genre, or rather, redefines them. I like how gentle, generous and caring Anna is, which doesn't mean she is weak or naive, rather the contrary. I also like that she is not a great beauty or a drama queen with a harem of men at her disposal. Above all, I find very original the whole concept

This was a mixed bag for me. The beginning was good and I was intrigued by the mystery and then the book slowed down for about 100 pages. Not sure why it felt like it dragged but it seemed to take forever to get to the final confrontation. I was getting to the 250 page mark and I felt like nothing was going anywhere. The final 50 pages and the epilogue were good though.

The Alpha and Omega series is one of my all-time favorites! It’s one of those series you just know you’ll re-read over and over, and relish! This is a series that is best read in order, and if you haven’t started it, go now, and get the novella prequel! You’re in for a treat!

"Charles belonged to Anna with all his complicated soul and uncomplicated heart."
I have been on a journey with Anna and Charles for almost a decade, and I don't see myself leaving them anytime soon. Wild Sign is another amazing addition to the Alpha & Omega series, I honestly just can't get enough of the complex and intriguing characters in the Marrok's pack.

Wow, doesn’t it feel like absolute ages since this series has had a new book? It honestly hasn’t been that long, but I did have trouble finding my footing when I started this book. Because of the wait, I felt like a lot of the previous events were forgotten and Briggs doesn’t really catch readers up very much with this book, so I had to go back and try to remember a lot of what has happened. That being said, I do think it’s best if the series is read in order. You’ll get a much better under ...more
Wow this entry of Charles’s and Anna story really scored with me and I think with most readers thus far. I think it’s because we get much more of the inner workings of Charles (aka Brother Wolf) and we also get a reminder of how far they (He and Anna) have come both individually and together. Or it could be because so few of my favorite writers are publishing right now. Either way the prospect of getting this book and the hours of escape I desperately need right now was so exciting, I forked ove

Anna and her husband Charles, both werewolves, are informed by the FBI that someone is squatting on pack land in northern California, and that something strange is going on there. They travel down from Montana with another pack member, and find that there are no people left, but it's evident that something horrible has happened. Were witches involved? Are any of the residents still alive? What kind of malevolent spirits are Charles and Anna sensing? This is the kind of book that transports the r

Thanks to Netgalley and Berkley for providing me with an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
I'm going to start with some brutal honesty. I love the Mercy Thompson books, I really do, but Anna's books just seem to have created a mate bond with me. They're something special, for sure, and I pretty much always love them in their entireties. Don't get me wrong, as I said a second ago, I do so adore the Mercy books as well, but whenever a new Alpha & Omega book comes out, I get more excit ...more

4.5 Stars. I really enjoyed this one; the adventure, the mysticism, and the outright weirdness. Charles and Anna are sent to investigate the sudden disappearance of a group of people living in a settlement far away from civilization; living on land that just happens to belong to Leah, Bran’s disagreeable mate. What starts out as a road trip to the great outdoors to solve a vague mystery soon turns into a harrowing ordeal full of twists and turns...and evil.

Wild Sign on Books On Track
Anna and Charles are back in an adventure that brings to light the story of how Leah became Bran's mate.
The story starts with the FBI knocking on Anna's door with questions about some land that Leah owns, where a whole village of people who had been living off grid disappeared from. Given that Leah was the only survivor of something really bad that happened at the same place when Bran found her many years ago, he is worried that he same evil might be responsible for th ...more
Even though I never forget how much I love this series, I do forget how much I miss Charles and Anna until I quickly become immersed in their story once more. Oh how I love this couple! Oh how I love this whole bunch of crazy werewolves!

I skipped the previous book because I refuse to accept the Bran <3s Mercy bullshit, so I'll have to wait for reviews to see if that's going to show up again or if we can successfully pretend it never happened.

Um, we need to talk about that last chapter and epilogue! I need my GR friends that have read all the prior books in the Mercy series and this Anna series to read this book ASAP, please and thank you.
Random non-spoiler thoughts:

- The new “enemy” of this book is seriously messed up and I am still not sure how it existed in the first place or who/what defeated it (or if it was defeated?)

Trigger warning: Rape, incest, child trafficking.
I told myself that I would only read another book in this series if I borrowed it via the library. Looks like I was smart to do so. What to say. The book drags. Badly. Briggs totally retconned Bran and Leah's whole relationship. I thought I was hallucinating stuff and went back to some of the older Mercy and "Alpha & Omega" books to make sure I had things right. Did I mention the book drags? And there's a lot of rape/incest happening in this one. ...more

The 6th installment of Alpha & Omega. Well-known characters do their thing. It‘s a bit like eating comfort food. You know what your‘re getting, it‘s enjoyable, mostly safe and entertaining.
The FBI shows up at the doorstep of Anna and Charles and asks for help. A village in the mountains has disappeared and something potentially evil lurks in the woods.
Solid story telling with a decent plot, told from various POVs, with slightly overlapping timelines at chapter endings and beginnings. We finally ...more

This Anna and Charles adventure told the story I’ve been wanting to hear for a while. It actually had several revelations and set the stage for lots more to happen—in both the larger world and personally for Anna and Charles— in future books. Which is great, because I love this series and don’t want it to end. I can’t wait to see how the events of this book affect the next Mercy book, because one thing at least definitely will.

It was wonderful to be back with Charles and Anna in Wild Sign by Patricia Briggs, the sixth Alpha & Omega novel. Whether you read or listen to the narration by Holter Graham, you’ll find Briggs delivered a suspenseful five star tale.

Yay! My first five star read for 2021. A completely gripping read about Charles and Anna Cornick, wolf shifters, and their encounter with an ancient evil power. The storyline is fast-moving and enthralling, although a bit scary in parts. Some beloved secondary characters also play a strong role in the book, and there is a little bit of crossover with Briggs' other related series, Mercy Thompson.
