Our view
“Alpha and Omega” is a fast, absorbing novella that opens Patricia Briggs’s series about Anna and Charles. Anna, an Omega werewolf mistreated by her own pack, finds the courage to report it to the Marrok, who sends his eldest son, the Alpha Charles, to investigate. Some readers find it darker and harder to read than they expected, given the abuse at its centre. For newcomers, it makes a natural starting point.
