About this ebook

Praised for having “the perfect blend of action, romance, suspense, and paranormal”*, #1 New York Times bestselling author Patrica Briggs's Alpha and Omega series now takes readers into the middle of some bad supernatural business…

For once, mated werewolves Charles Cornick and Anna Lantham are not traveling because of Charles’s role as his father’s enforcer. This time, their trip to Arizona is purely personal. Or at least their visit starts out that way... 

Charles and Anna soon discover that a dangerous fae being is on the loose, replacing human children with simulacrums. The fae have started a cold war with humanity that's about to heat up—and Charles and Anna are in the crossfire.

Ratings and reviews

Another Winner for the Alpha and Omega series. I love how we learn a little more about Charles, Anna, the Fae and Bran the more books are released. I know without a doubt each story will not be a disappointment.

Never judge a Patricia Briggs book by its cover. They're as awful as the books are awesome. Charles and Anna go to Navajo country to visit with Charles' old friend and to buy a horse for Anna. That does get done, but there is a lot more that happens, and it all makes for a disturbing and fascinating read. You don't necessarily need to be into the Mercyverse to appreciate this one, but you will enjoy the nuances better if you have read any of the Mercy Thompson books. And I really love listening to Holter Graham!

Action was rushed, story was too short with too many sideplots and new characters, not enough time to Charles & Anna. Their relationship issue was solved in too pat a way, and there was no attempt to dig deeper into the why's of the Big Bads after the initial crisis was solved. Very one dimensional and rushed, overall, seemed more like an excuse for Briggs to write about horses than continue these characters' and this universe's actual stories.
