Mated werewolves Charles Cornick and Anna Latham must discover what could make an entire community disappear–before it’s too late–in this thrilling entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling Alpha and Omega series.

In the wilds of the Northern California mountains, all the inhabitants of a small town have gone missing. It’s as if the people picked up and left their possessions behind. With a mystery on their hands and no jurisdiction on private property, the FBI dumps the whole problem in the lap of the land owner, Aspen Creek, Inc.–aka the business organization of the Marrok’s pack.

Somehow, the pack of the Wolf Who Rules is connected to a group of vanished people. Werewolves Charles Cornick and Anna Latham are tasked with investigating, and soon find that a deserted town is the least of the challenges they face.

Death sings in the forest, and when it calls, Charles and Anna must answer. Something has awakened in the heart of the California mountains, something old and dangerous–and it has met werewolves before.

My Review

Oh, how I loved this book!  I feel almost giddy when I get the chance to read a new Patricia Briggs book because I know that it is going to be something special.  This book was as good as I had hoped it would be and my expectations were extremely high.  I was completely entertained from the very first page and the excitement never lessened.  I had a fantastic time with this story.  

All of the residents of a small town in the California mountains go missing and the FBI brings the issue to the Marrok since the land is owned by the pack.  Charles and Anna, along with Tag head out to investigate.  They find the town of Wild Sign empty and it appears the residents had magic but something in the woods has even more.  Things get very complicated quickly as the trio tries to discover what has happened.
I love these characters!  Charles and Brother Wolf are the perfect mate for Anna.  I love the two distinct personalities that makeup Charles and his wolf and how they are always watching out for Anna.  Anna had some challenges in this book but she never quit fighting and I loved how resilient she is time and time again.  Tag was a great addition to the team and I loved the bond that he had with Anna.  Leah played a larger role in this story and I was thrilled to get to learn a bit more about her history and see a different side of her character.  
There was plenty of action and excitement in this story to keep things moving along.  There were a few times that I was worried about how things might work out so I was glued to the pages.  The mystery behind the lost residents of Wild Sign kept me guessing until the very end.  It was great to see Charles, Anna, and the rest of the characters in action.  I would highly recommend this series to others and cannot wait to read more from this talented author in the future.
I received a digital review copy of this book from Berkley Publishing Group via NetGalley.

    Ok, I'm convinced. I'm starting this series next month. I didn't really get along with Mercy so this might work out for me.

    Excellent review! I agree. I loved this so much. We got so many different storylines and I was intensely focused while reading.

    Briggs is an author I've been wanting to read for years. I'm thinking I need to make a list of authors I need to try – but I'm also scared of how long that list would be!
