"It is said that opposites attract. And in the case of werewolves Anna Latham and Charles Cornick, they mate. The son--and enforcer--of the leader of the North American werewolves, Charles is a dominant Alpha. While Anna, an Omega, has the rare ability to calm others of her kind. Now that the werewolves have revealed themselves to humans, they can't afford any bad publicity. Infractions that could have been overlooked in the past must now be punished, and the strain of doing his father's dirty work is taking a toll on Charles. Nevertheless, Charles and Anna are sent to Boston when the FBI requests the pack's help on a local serial-killer case. They quickly realize that the last two victims were werewolves, and identify others originally thought humans as fae. Someone is targeting the preternatural. And now Anna and Charles have put themselves right in the killer's sights.."-- Provided by publisher.
COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Werewolves Hunt Serial Killers
submitted by Jen Chapin-Smith on June 27, 2014, 6:28pm
The fourth in Patricia Briggs' Alpha and Omega series about werewolves in the modern-day, "Fair Game" is focuses on married couple Charles and Anna as they join the FBI to find a serial killer (or killers) who have been attacking werewolves and the Fae (fairies). It helps to have read the other books in the series first ("On the Prowl," "Cry Wolf" and "Hunting Ground") or at least some of the author's Mercy Thompson novels about the same family.
"Fair Game" is at times quite disturbing, with graphic details about what the serial killers do to their victims, as well as Anna's memories of those who first turned her into a wolf. At other times the novel is as predictable as an episode of "Law and Order," whose police procedural pattern it follows.
