Lighter on Plot, Insight into Bran Redeems September 6, 2008
While this wasn't as amazing as the Mercedes Thompson series (set in the same world with the same- more or less- characters), it is worth a read. It explains some things the Mercedes books don't (or haven't yet) and gives you more of an understanding of Bran, who is, quite simply put, the patron saint of awesome. Don't mistake me, though. This book is focused on Charles and his new mate Anna, who is a rare and most welcome Omega in the werewolf world.
I feel as if the book was more concerned with their relationship, and the troubles and changes there-in, than the mystery-bad-guy-evil-plan part of the plot. So it is more quiet than the Mercedes books in that way. But again, still worth a read.
Good, but no Mercy September 5, 2008

Cry Wolf was a good novel with an interesting plot (like all of Patricia's books), but I couldn't get as into it as her Mercy books. Of course, that's because I wanted Anna to be Mercy and she very clearly is not. If you like more of the "damsel-in-distress" type characters than you'll enjoy Anna. Also, there wasn't much build-up in the relationship between Anna and Charles because we know from the very beginning that they're aready mated. So if unsatisfied love is your thing (which it is for me), stick to the Mercy books.
Overall an enjoyable book, but on the charcter side of things, doesn't compare to the Mercy series.
 Great Book although Publisher Screwed Up September 4, 2008
I loved this book, but have to agree with some of the other reviewers that it was very difficult to get into because, although it SAYS it is the first in the series, it is actually a sequel to a short story contained in the anthology ON THE PROWL. I would not have known this except I checked out the author's forum. The publishers MAJORLY screwed up when releasing this book because they either should have had a recap in the intro, included the short story, or TOLD THE READER IT FOLLOWED THE OTHER BOOK.
I do not hold this against the writer, however, and rated it higher. I doubt this was her decision and so she can hardly be blamed for such stupidity on the publishers part. I am not in the process of ordering the first book since none of the bookstores in my area have it (another MISTAKE the publisher made--at least have the first book available). Very annoying but worth the effort. Get the first book and the read this one. You'll enjoy it.

It was nicelly written. And what I liked about it was an inside look into some of the charachters we got to meet in Mercy series... So to make a long story short the book is good as a supporitnve read for those who are already fans of Mercy books

I love all of Patricia Briggs' books. This one was no exception. It had great characters and a good plot. I definitely recommend this book.
