I have been waiting so patiently on this one! I think I'm starting to like this series better than Mercy...don't throw things! Cry Wolf was a little rough, but I loved the short story and Hunting Ground. I think most of that is because Bran and Charles always intrigued me after meeting them in Moon Called. But I like the relationship Charles and Anna are forming, and I like seeing more of Charles and how he sacrifices himself for his father.
Briggs is coming to town on the 15th so I'm waiting until then to get the book 
Good thing I'm behind on my new releases so I have something to tide me over until then....
Finished the book earlier today and as with Patricia Briggs' books I really enjoyed it. I don't want to post anything here that will spoil anything for anyone so will wait until others are done too. I will say that I was a little disappointed in how Charles' "issues" were solved, it seemed anticlimatic to me. Maybe I wanted Anna to have more of a roll in helping to solve said issues, but perhaps I am trying to invoke a little of Mercy on Anna, and she is a totally different personality type. Ok, 'nuf said until others have finished the book too. I'll see what Patricia has to say about things tomorrow at the signing...

Aw come on you have to admit Mercy and Adam are SO cute together!! LOL
Im starting this one now.
I picked it up at her signing tonight. Patricia is such a lovely person! There was a small crowd, less than 40 people, so she was able to chat with everyone while signing books. About 7 of us pulled up some chairs and sat around talking with her while she signed stock for the store. She would really fit in on the boards....she loves the same authors we all rave about on here. Someone asked which character she would like with her during the zombie apocalypse....her answer? Harry Dresden. Butcher is one of her favorite UF authors.
So we found out that Zee is based on a real mechanic that used to work on all of her VWs. His customer service skills were just as non existent as Zee's. The bookstore owner who loaned Mercy the fairy book and died in Silver Borne is also based on a real guy who had to close his bookstore when he was deployed to the Middle East.
She has a collection of short stories coming out that will have all the stories printed in anthologies plus a couple of new ones. She is contracted for 3 more books in the Mercy world. Two are Mercy books, the third she's not sure yet. There will be more Alpha & Omega books but sounds like it may be a while. Oh and no book with Anna, Charles, Mercy, and Adam together as main characters. But they may pop up in each other's books like Charles has in the early Mercy books.
I met some nice ladies at the signing, a few are book bloggers and one is a debut author that lives in my area. She was sweet enough to sign books for some of us while we waited. Her book was released last month and the next one is scheduled for the fall. I'll let you all know how it is...
