I'm not sure how to write this review without excessive gushing. Gushing hurts my credibility as a reader. Well, I think it's clear that I'm not above a little gushing if I love a book. But I do try to be objective.
However, sometimes a good book deserves gushing, and lots of it. Such is the case with Cry Wolf. My tastes are somewhat simple when it comes to a book. I want to be involved and entertained. When I read a book that takes me to that next level of pure emotional enjoyment, catching me I'm not sure how to write this review without excessive gushing.
When I read a book that takes me to that next level of pure emotional enjoyment, catching me where I live and feel deeply as a human, I wish I could rate it higher than five stars. Patricia Briggs is an author that I was not expecting to come into my life and rock my perception of what I consider good urban fantasy.
Now, the standard is much higher. She has found a way to make the werewolf tale that much more enjoyable to this lover of the genre. She writes characters that convince me that there must be werewolves out there, and that they aren't all ravening beasts. That there is an entire spectrum. That they are lonely, in need of love, always fighting a battle of control against their animal natures, or that some have completely given into their animal side.
That they form bonds of family and love that wrap around them, and when those bonds are taken away, it has the power to destroy them.
Conversely, the bonds of love and pack, can heal a long-broken heart. The characters in this story show that spectrum of wolves very well. By the end of the story, they felt like people I knew. Oh, and there were some characters that I crossed myself in hopes that I never encountered their likes. Mariposa, oh, how she gave me the shudders. Oh, and Bran Could I love him more now?
Even though he has some really scary aspects to his personality? Although that just increased his appeal to me. What control this man has. How tortured he truly is. Briggs, do write a separate story for Bran, I humbly ask. Charles and Anna: More continued goodies with their nuanced, layered relationship. It's a symbiotic relationship, almost. It would seem that Anna is the weak one, and Charles is the strong one. Not so. Anna's presence brings strength and calmness to Charles.
She saves his life numerous times in this story, in fact. And Charles gives Anna that reason and that purpose she had not found before. She loves him so much it scares her. He heals the broken places deep inside of her with his love and devotion.
And, he brings her to a home where she had been lost before. I love that not only does this couple come together, but Anna comes to form deep, important relationships with other wolves in this story, who are in need of the peace that she can give them as an Omega wolf. There were scenes that clutched at my emotions and wouldn't let go. When Anna sings to Asil and Bran, and they fall with their heads in her lap. These troubled wolves finding the peace that an evil adversary had denied them.
It was just wonderful to watch. There are dark and scary moments in this story, as Charles, Anna, and Walter, a wolf they encounter, face a very malevolent entity from the old wolf, Asil's past. Oh, there was plenty of horror in this story. Of the more subtle, not in your face, but very unnerving variety. And the power of this person, powerful enough to take over a character who is known for his absolute strength and control.
Shuddering thinking about it. Yes, I'm gushing. I waited a few days to write this review, trying to get my thoughts in order. For me, this is urban fantasy at its best.
Cry Wolf truly is an exemplary werewolf story to me and that's saying a lot from me. It's the kind of book that you don't want to put down for anything. Briggs with her misleadingly simple way of telling a story, will have likely a profound effect on you, if you appreciate really good storytelling. Watch out if you haven't read her yet. In the end, I can't speak for other readers. I won't even try. I can only speak for myself. This was a fantastic story.
I hope that others who read this enjoy it as much as I did. View all 60 comments.

Set in the same world as the Mercy Thompson series but starts in at an earlier time. Starting with "Cry Wolf", which is set right after the events of "Moon Called", the series run parallel.
Cry Wolf : Anna never knew werewolves existed until the night she survived a violent attack…and became one herself. But Anna is that rarest kind of werewolf: an Omega. And one of the most powerful werewolves in the country is about to recognize her value as a pack member—and as his mate.
Love all of her books! View all 6 comments. Friendly warning: if you love this series in general, and this instalment in particular, you might want to consider stepping back a bit. This is going to hurt. But hey, I'm kind-hearted and compassionate and understanding and stuff, so I promise to try and make this as painless as possible.
Don't believe me? Oh, good. I might be a complete masochist when it comes to my reading choices, but I don't love pain SO much that I would inflict this book thing upon my little self willingly.
In a great mood, I might add. You are, as usual, very welcome. Someone should give this pathetic crybaby a lifetime achievement award or something. Well, either that or shoot her in the head to put an end to her misery.
Uncharacteristically enough, I think I'd like that option better. Pretty awesome, isn't it? What can I say? It's a gift! But they don't, so it doesn't. And let me tell you, my Little Barnacles, it hurts like a bitch. I swear, this one is so bad my murderous crustaceans have been coming up with new, inventive ways to slaughter their formerly ruthless little selves.
This is sad. Really sad. What joy. My eyeballs got a really good workout out of this one. No more cardio for me for a whole month! More free time to read more crap! The end. And stuff. I am sure you are a lovely person.
I mean, you are a self-confessed Kate Daniels fan, so you can't be that bad. View all 42 comments. I started reading her Mercy Thompson series in when I was still in college and I was hooked. Charles is also known 4 Omega stars I am a huge Patricia Briggs fan.
He keeps wolves in line. Apparently there is a prequel novella I missed luckily my husband read it and filled me in where Charles goes on a mission and ends up saving Anna. More than that, their wolves decide to mate. This is not a normal way of doing things. Things are different for Charles and Anna.
Brother Wolf chose you, chose your wolf and left me to follow him. She is an Omega. This is not the same as submissive. She can calm other wolves, it keeps a pack in line. When Charles goes to his next mission to track down a rouge wolf causing trouble, Bran aka the Marrok decides it would be best for Anna to come along.
Maybe she can defuse the situation before the enforcer has to come out. While on the hunt, they find a newly turned wolf named Walter. I adored Walter. Witches, werewolves, and things that go bump in the night. A rouge wolf out in the woods killing is what they signed up for.
Charles and Anna must work together to fix this with as few casualties as possible. Figuring out their relationship as they go. I love his protectiveness, dominance and I love when his wolf takes over. Anna was great too. She has been through so much and is finally healing. I think that the writing was great and the narration in the audiobook was fantastic. Also, there was one or two rushed sex scenes and I wanted more than that.

What a pleasure to see many of the same characters in Cry Wolf. I read a lot of serious books, but really enjoy tapping into fantasy on occasion for some good fluff. I wi What a great new fun fantasy series! I will definitely be continuing the series. Thanks to Jonetta for the referral! View all 12 comments. So…I have finally hopped on board, only to fall off again!
From the start, this book lost a brownie point and a half when I found the first page was diving into an already-existing relationship. Ugh bug. I know from internet snooping that there is a prequel to this, a short story, where the two first meet. I kept thinking there may be recaps later that would make me see how they first met and understand the connection, something that would explain the bond and make me actually care about their situation, but no.
It continues as is and I had issues accepting that. What I DID like reading about was seeing more of Bran the man just draws attention whatever series he graces , more background story on his bitchy mate Leah, and I seriously liked the intro of sweet Warren. Those side characters were much more interesting. The storyline was dull for the first half — it became more interesting when they set out to find the rogue wolf and do investigations.
There was tension and well-done scenes — the villain was a worthy, witchy one. View all 27 comments. Apr 19, Maria V. Snyder rated it really liked it.

I liked seeing more of the world Patricia Briggs created with her Mercy Thompson series - she focuses on Charles - the youngest son of the Marrok, who is alpha of all the werewolves in the US. I would have liked to seen a longer more satisfying wrap up at the end view spoiler [I would have liked to have read more about the wedding and their relationship - also I was a bit concerned about reading more of Briggs other books because this is the second series character - Anna - who had been raped - Mercy was raped as well.

And there are some birds that stay year-round. Sometimes when the wind is still and the cold is upon us, the quiet is so deep you can feel it in your bones.
The impact was so strong he was amazed that his fingers continued playing without pause. It functions as 0. She is so incredible at writing characters that I can't help but adore and treasure and want to protect, and storylines that keep me on the edge of my seat, unable to put the book down until it's done. She wondered that hope was so much harder then despair. That said, any ounce of doubt in me was wiped out pretty quickly in Cry Wolf, because I genuinely can't imagine not rooting for Anna and Charles.
They are so precious together, and even though there are some reservations Charles worrying he'll scare Anna off or ask too much of her, Anna worrying that she's hindering Charles or unworthy of his love and the occasional misunderstanding, watching them slowly come to trust and learn each other is so damn rewarding.
I don't even know where Patricia Briggs comes up with some of these one-liners, but they literally made me laugh out loud so many times. I love some of the side characters tremendously especially Bran — I've adored him since the moment we met him and I need more of his character! Speaking of, I also loved the little nods to Mercy's side of the story, and I really recommend reading these series intertwined in the author's order listed below, because it's so much fun to get little hints as to what's going on with Mercy, Adam, and Sam, while it's happening.
I can't wait to pick up the next book in the series, and I have high hopes that it's all just going to keep getting better and better from here! View all 9 comments. This is the worst it has ever been for me. My solution was to take an author I have really loved and read another series written by them. Cry Wolf is the first book of that series set directly after Moon Called the first book of the Mercy Thompson series. I know some about Charles from the other series. The story starts with Anna having just been rescued from an abusive pack by Charles.
Their wolves recognize a connection right away and connect as mates immediately, a little backwards to the regular way things are done. On Sale: Jul 15, Release Month: Aug Save to Wishlist. About this Book Andrea Lockhart's job as a reporter for cheesy tabloid The Naked Truth isn't exactly where she thought her journalism career would end up.
She's determined to make the best of it, but when her editor sends her to Woodbine, South Carolina, to investigate a werewolf sighting, Andrea decides the ridiculous assignment will be her last. Until she meets Sean Hunter. The last time she saw Sean, he had just beat her out for the position of editor of their college newspaper, and told her she'd never make it as a reporter.
Given his grand ambitions, she's shocked to find him editing the Woodbine Weekly. As they each get closer to finding the source of the rumors, the only thing more surprising than the truth are the feelings Sean is able to stir in her, feelings she thought she had left behind Similar Books.
