This is just a fantastic device. Massive time savings. Keep in mind that it's the first measuring device I've owned that is not a steel tape, so perhaps I'm more easily impressed than more up-to-date DYI-ers.

After reading many, many, negative reviews of various and sundry humidifiers, I thought that this one seemed like the best deal. I have had it for about a month now and haven't experienced a single problem with it. The high setting is, as other reviewers have noted, noisy. Nevertheless, the low s

This headset is easy to use, has excellent sound quality, stays in my ear, and was simple to pair with my phone. My only complaint: weird connection with the charger cord. This is a big improvement over my previous (much more expensive) Jabra headset, which had lots of bells and whistles, but poor

Product Description:

Now Briggs begins an extraordinary new series set in Mercy Thompson??s world??but with rules of its own.

INTRODUCING THE ALPHA AND OMEGA NOVELS...

Anna never knew werewolves existed until the night she survived a violent attack??and became one herself. After three years at the bottom of the pack, she??d learned to keep her head down and never, ever trust dominant males. But Anna is that rarest kind of werewolf: an Omega. And one of the most powerful werewolves in the country will recognize her value as a pack member??and as his mate.

Excellent new universe!
10/10/2008
I thoroughly enjoyed this. There are so many books in this genre, but Briggs manages to breathe new life into it. I really liked the atmosphere she created in this universe and it was appealing and different having the main couple already essentially 'paired' from the get go, i.e. not having to worry about the will they won't they aspect, but still being able to see their relationship with each other grow and develop. That's the romance aspect of it, which I enjoy (being a romance fan), but this is a fantasy genre and this she does equally well, combining them both to create a page turner of a tale! I'm thoroughly interested in Bran and Samuel now too and I'm looking forward to future installments!

Excellent addition to the world of the Marrok
10/9/2008
"Cry Wolf" is set in the same universe as the Mercy Thompson series, but follows the adventures of Anna, an Omega wolf, and Charles, her mate. Charles is Samuel's brother and Bran son, which fans of the Mercy Thompson series will be familiar with.

Anna just recently arrived from the Chicago pack, which brutalized her during her time as a werewolf. This means that while she is a strong character, she has a lot of fears to overcome, and her fears aren't really groundless given what she has endured.

This book was definitely readable and enjoyable and gave a lot of really interesting backstory to Bran, Samuel and the Marrok clan. I enjoy the world this novel is set in quite a lot, and I found the story to be a fun read. My hope is that she will continue writing Anna and Charles' story in future novels, but without Charles being injured as he was for the duration of this novel.

While it has become a trope of the Urban Fantasy genre, I do tire of the multiple boyfriends/complicated lovelives of the heroines. While the lovelife is still complicated in the Alpha and Omega series, at least it just follows one couple instead of being a triangle kind of story. It would be nice if Urban Fantasy would take a cue from series such as J.D. Robb's "In Death" where you can have a couple stay together happily throughout the course of the series. I think Briggs plans on doing this both in this series and the Mercy Thompson series.

I also enjoyed the point of view of the story changing from Anna, to Charles, to Bran, to Asil. I love Mercy Thompson voice, but I really enjoyed the multiple perspectives in this book.

Cry Wolf
10/5/2008
I enjoyed this book even though it was a trifle juvenile. I like the characters - I am looking forward to Ms. Briggs developing this line in her alternate universe.

Great new story line from Patricia Briggs
10/5/2008
This was a great new storyline from Patricia Briggs set in the same world as her Mercy Thompson series. It was a nice touch to see featured some of the secondary characters from the Mercy Thompson novels and to learn more about the Marok and his motivations. I hope he gets his own book soon. The only jarring note was the beginning. If you have not read the prior short story published in an anthology, you would have a hard time understanding what had taken place before the start of this book. I do not like anthologies and did not feel like spending the money to pick up the book so I had to piece together what happened and still don't know the details. It would have been nice if the short story had been included in this novel. I can only surmise greed on the part of the publisher for this omission. That being said, I hope Briggs writes as second novel featuring these characters so we can see their relationships further develop.

Couldn't get through first chapter, disappointed
10/5/2008
I have to say I was really excited at first, I was browsing the shelves at the book store as usual and found this book "Cry Wolf" that looked very interesting. The lady at the check out even said she really enjoyed this book which made me feel even better about my purchase at the time.

I get home and start reading. I get to the first chapter where its talking about Anna. I started to sense something was wrong. The book kept talking about the past in such a way that is similar to when you have a series of books. Where each book rehashes what happened in the previous book to catch the reader up.

I had to stop reading after the point where a cell phone rings and Anna is listening to the conversation. I thought to myself somethings missing, why am I hearing this all second hand? I want to read the actual action of these events for myself! There has to be a book before this one and I missed it as I looked around at the book store.

I go online and start looking on amazon.com only to find out there was indeed a story before this book and it was a short story part of an anthology. I go read up on the anthology and find out 3 of the stories of the 4 aren't worth my time. So I'd have to spend another 7.99 to find out the pre-story to "Cry Wolf"

I read on to find that the short story had originally been meant to stand alone. But once it was realized a continuation of the story would be made they should have either A) put that short story at the beginning of "Cry Wolf" to avoid all this horrible confusion. B) say that you can find the short story on the website of the author (which I dont think it is but I haven't looked yet). or C) At the very least on the cover put a note saying the continued story of Anna and Charles see anthology for more information.

I feel a little cheated and while I hope to someday enjoy the rest of this book with its beautiful cover, I can't bring myself to do that until I have read the short story. And I can't bring myself to purchase an anthology for 1 story that I will like out of four (i already can tell i wont care much for the other 3 stories because of the reviews)

So until the day I can happily read this book I will at least enjoy the pretty artistic cover on the front. Very beautiful.
