Cry Wolf Novel Review by Patricia briggs

Cry Wolf is the first book in the Alpha and Omega series by Patricia Briggs, a bestselling author of urban fantasy and paranormal romance. The novel follows Anna, a young woman who was turned into a werewolf against her will and abused by her former pack. She is rescued by Charles, the son and enforcer of the leader of the North American werewolves, who claims that she is his mate and a rare Omega wolf. Together, they go on a hunt for a rogue werewolf who is using dark magic to threaten the pack.

The novel is based on a short story called Alpha and Omega, which is recommended to read before Cry Wolf. The novel expands on the characters and the world of the werewolves, introducing different types of wolves, such as Alphas, Betas, and Omegas, and their roles and abilities. The novel also explores the relationship between Anna and Charles, who have to overcome their past traumas and learn to trust each other.

The review praises the novel for its exciting plot, engaging characters, and vivid descriptions. The review also notes that the novel is well-written and draws readers into the Alpha and Omega world. However, the review also criticizes the novel for being too ambiguous about its genre, as it is neither a pure urban fantasy nor a pure romance story. The review suggests that the novel could have balanced the action and the romance better, and that some readers might be disappointed by the lack of steamy scenes or the slow pace of the romance.

The review concludes that Cry Wolf is a good fantasy story, but not a great one, and that it might appeal more to fans of Patricia Briggs or werewolf stories than to fans of urban fantasy or romance.
