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.

      Briggs's third installation in the Alpha and Omega series (after Hunting Ground) suffuses a paranormal procedural with political conflict and relationship issues between dominant Alpha werewolf Charles Cornick and his Omega mate Anna Latham. Now that werewolves have come out to humans, Charles must act as his father's enforcer and assassin to eliminate members of the pack that stir up bad publicity. However, Charles complies not for a love of the hunt, but rather to please his father, Bran. To give Charles a break from the constant killing, Bran sends his son and Anna to Boston to help the FBI on a decades-long paranormal serial murder investigation that soon involves black magic and the fae. Briggs enhances the excitement of the case by integrating it with Anna and Charles's relationship, the dialogue between Charles the man and his Brother Wolf, how both are affected by his hunting, and Anna's determination to help her mate. Though this thrilling page-turner occasionally suffers from Briggs's heavy-handed politics, fans of the series and newcomers alike will still find plenty of excitement to keep them happily engaged.

      Holter Graham portrays werewolves Anna and Charles, who have been dispatched by Charles's father, the leader of the pack, to act as special consultants to the FBI. Their mission is to stop a serial killer who preys upon supernaturals, most recently a girl with a fae father. Graham's easygoing style strikes a balance between the suspense of the hunt and the couple's personal moments when they manage to find time alone. Graham gives Anna added depth by contrasting her gentle concern for the child with her steely reaction when her own safety is threatened. Earlier books in the series add background to the characters but aren't essential to following the story's relationships or plot. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine
