This storyline is gently woven through the other threads of the book, picking up here and there poignant but never belabouring.Īnna still has trauma after her brutal entrance into the werewolf world and some of that trauma she still hides from Charles. Anna loves her mate and she is patient but also very stubborn. Charles is the only werewolf in existence who was born a werewolf and his birth killed his mother so, understandably, Charles isn’t automatically on board with this idea. That doesn’t mean however that they don’t have things they need to work through, issues which can be difficult for them to discuss and vulnerabilities that they are still both tender about.Īnna wants a child, in particular, Charles’ child.

They are happy together and their HEA is never in doubt in this or any other of their stories. For me, it’s definitely a feature.Ĭharles and Anna Cornick have been married for three years. I love all the books in each series, some more than others, so I don’t regard this as a bug.

There is a rich history to the story’s background and in fact, both the Mercy Thompson and Alpha & Omega series’ (which are set in the same world) are so interlinked, particularly after the events of Fair Game, that I think readers would miss out if they weren’t reading both of them. This is not a book which can be read as a stand alone I think. And that’s why I went with the grade I did. When I was actually reading I just loved the heck out of it. It had all the best elements of your stories all together and it pushed most of my good book buttons.Īs much as I loved it, I did notice a few things, which I will talk about in a bit, but for the most part, I noticed them after I finished reading and was considering what to write in my review apart from ohmygodsogoodeveryoneshouldreaditrightnow. If anyone was worried that your heart wasn’t in writing this book because you had originally planned to write a full length Tom and Moira story, they can definitely stop worrying.

Alpha & Omega is very probably the best novella I’ve ever read and it’s one I’ve re-read a number of times – and I’m not really a re-reader. I’m an unabashed fan of both your Mercy Thompson and Alpha & Omega series’. (There are also a couple more serious trigger warnings further down).
