My Thoughts:
The Alpha and Omega series is one of my all-time favorites! It’s one of those series you just know you’ll re-read over and over and relish!  This is a series that is best read in order, and if you haven’t started it, go now, and get the novella prequel! You’re in for a treat!

Bran sends Charles, Anna and Tag off to investigate when a whole off-the-grid sort of community disappears from Northern California and there are hints that supernatural forces were at work.

I’ve loved Anna and Charles together from the beginning since they mated on sight and had to sort out the rest as they went along. It just so happens they ended up being perfectly matched, complimenting each other and bringing out each other’s strengths in the very best way!

Leah, Bran’s mate, has been a pretty unlikeable character thus far.  Even with her appearances in the Mercy Thompson series, she was mostly hateful, but the last two books, this one especially has shed some light on her history and motivations, which has changed my views on her greatly!

There’s also a lot of Sherwood Post’s history connected to this story which I found very interesting. Tag was a fun addition, getting to know him better was a treat.  

As usual, from the first page I was addicted! Mystery, danger, and characters I’ve grown to love had me fully invested all the way through! And OMG, that ending! I can’t wait for the next Alpha and Omega! Also, the next Mercy Thompson because I bet Sherwood Post’s revelations will be a part of the next installment!

5 Stars


About the book:
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 everything they owned behind. Fearing something supernatural might be going on, the FBI taps a source they've consulted in the past: the werewolves Charles Cornick and Anna Latham. But Charles and Anna soon find a deserted town is the least of the mysteries 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.

  1. Well, the Mercy Thompson series didn't work for me so I might try this one. I've started a shifter series by TJ Klune, so on par with what I'm into nowadays.

    Thanks for sharing, Rachel!

    1. I love both series'. I think of them as kind of one whole series together now. There's definitely overlap.

  7. I agree with everything. I thought we got lots of layered story. I was happy to continue with Charles & Anna's relationship, have more on Leah's history and with Bran, and I will be very interested to see what happens next in the world and with Sherwood Post.

    Excellent review!

  13. I felt the same way about Leah so I was glad to have my mind changed in this book particularly. Now, I see her as so strong. :) And, yes, finally getting some of the mysterious Sherwood Post's past was great and I hope for more now. More of a few plot threads...
    Definitely love the loving partnership that is Anna and Charles. Tag was a trip and he stole the show a few times. :)

    1. Yes! I'm happy we're getting to the bottom of some of these mysteries! Bran so owed that last bit to Leah! I'd like to know what it showed. Yep Tag did steal the show a few times! I'm wondering what'll happen on the Mercy side now with Sherwood...
