It is probably one of the few prequel books that you really need to read before you read the first book."Yes I read it. I don't know why it's not part of the Cry Wolf it's a must read. The book starts in the middle...

Hi Jee,I haven't read the series you mentioned, so maybe I am recommending the wrong type of book. Sorry in advance.
There were a couple of erotic PNR I read where the focus was on the mates like Feral Sins, Claimed, Fury ...
Book: Cry Wolf by Patricia Briggs
Read: 12. Feb. 2017.
Rating: 3 stars
Spot: Favorite Series
How it fits: shelved 35 times as 'favorite series'
After I powered trough the Mercy Thompson series I was having bad case of series withdrawal. No more books but I wanted to read more about the characters I learned to love. I thought that series set in the same world would be the next best thing...
Well I guess I was wrong. Cry Wolf could not compare even to the weakest book in the Mercy Thompson series. Why?
- Heroine is very meek and doormatty. Anna was seriously abused and she usually covers in the corner. I think her recovery will take a long time.
- Charles is too cold and closed off to be an attractive hero for me. He's not your usually growly and passionate werewolf. And his Native American looks are nothing spectacular to me.
- The relationship between Anna and Charles didn't have any chemistry.
- It's more Paranormal Romance then Urban Fantasy, because they talk more about their feelings, their relationship etc. then about the world, paranormal creatures or action. The mystery plot was neglected.
On the other hand...
+ Book is well written as anything by Patricia Briggs I have read.
+ I loved finding out more about Bran and his pack.
Cry Wolf was very boring to me. (I gave it 3 stars but it's very very veryyy low 3 stars...)
I am not sure how much the book is to blame and how much it was due to me constantly comparing it to Mercy Thompson series. I will probably read second book in Alpha & Omega series to give it another chance, but I don't have high hopes.
For vampires shelf I am going to read

Book: Silver Borne by Patricia Briggs
Read: 3. Feb. 2017.
Rating: 5 stars
Spot: Guilty Pleasures
How it fits: shelved 21 times as 'guilty pleasures'
After 5 books read in less than two weeks, it's probably already obvious that I am addicted to Mercy Thompson series. But if you haven't already figured it out - yeah, I'm completely hooked up.
Silver Borne is a perfect example why I love this series so much.
+ Kick-ass snarky heroine
+ Healthy monogamous relationship between main characters.
+ Full of emotions: love, friendship, family, pack dynamics, ...
+ Different kinds of paranormal creatures (werewolves, fae, witches, ...) integrated in urban setting.
+ Multiple plot lines colliding in an intense ending.
I would not change a thing. :)
This is urban fantasy at it's best. Highly recommended!
Thank you Steph, that was quick. And way to go team. :)
