Publisher's Summary

Patricia Briggs' Alpha and Omega series - set in a world of shifting shapes, loyalty, and passion - brings werewolves out of the darkness and into a society in which fear and prejudice could make the hunters prey....

They say 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 not only the last two victims were werewolves - all of them were. Someone is targeting their kind. And now Anna and Charles have put themselves right in the killer's sights....

Great book!

Patricia Briggs’ Alpha and Omega series are wonderful. I have read each of the books several times and always enjoy them. The narrator for these books does a wonderful job with his voices, making each character clear and distinct, and he is very easy to understand, even if I happen to be walking along a busy street or somewhere similar with a lot of noise. Over all this book was wonderful, and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys urban fantasy. #Audible1

Reveiw

I'm going to preface this review with a warning. My feelings for this book are complicated.
Holter Graham once again delivered an amazing performance that brought the story to life. I listen mostly on my 2 hour walk home after work at 1am and need by quite when crossing the residential parts of town. Mr. Graham's rendition has, at times, forced me to slap a hand over my own mouth to stifle my giggles. I'm also lucky that I take a very untraveled path home because otherwise far to many people would have seen me grinning or frowning at seemingly nothing.
Mr. Graham does a fantastic job voicing these, and that's all that can be really be said about it.

Now for the story. Beware of SPOILERS.
Honestly Fair Game is my least favorite book in the series, which is weird because it does so much for it. This book advances the plot in all the Mercy Verse, gives Charles the kind of deep seeded character development Anna got in the prior novels, and gives us a broader look into way the humans in the Mercy Verse actually feel about our primary protagonists. It carries both Alpha and Omega and the Mercy Thompson storylines forward in a new and fascinating ways. The characters are well rounded and I feel like I can understand why most of them do the things they do. Overall it's a masterfully crafted story.
It also deals with several things and topics that hit close to home. Especially the ending. As a family member of a CSA victim whose assulter got off Scott free due to lack of evidence the ending hits way to close to home. It sucks because it's so realistic. What happened at that trail is exactly what would happen if supernatural things were around in our world, and the brutal honesty of that hits me luck a sucker punch every time. As someone who has had to grit their teeth and smile while finding out their family member's case won't even go to trial, I emphasized with Lizzie so much it hurt.
And then there is the horned lord. Look, I'm sorry but it really upsets me that the first decently big role a mentally disabled person plays in Mrs. Briggs's stroy is an uncontrolled, feral being who rapes and murders. It felt like the same 'the mentally ill are dangerous animals who must be contained' BS I've had shoved down my throat my whole life. Only it's worse because between her feminist undertones and decent handling LGBTAQ+ matters I though Patricia Briggs was beyond that.
And maybe it's unfair of me to say that. Mrs. Briggs does make a point to have Anna imply that she thinks the horned Lord's crimes are because of the environment he was raised in and the people he lives with. She never says that his nurodivergence is what makes him do all the bad things he does. Still it sits there like an undercurrent, and it bothers me.
maybe I'm just to sensitive though. Don't let my gripes turn you off. overall this book does so much for the Mercy Verse as a whole and I like it for that. It's a good read, and I still think everyone I know should give it a try.
