The Marrok is out of town, and that leaves his son Charles
Cornick and his mate Anna as the leaders until his return. A
danger close by sends them to the outskirts of their home to
check on the "wildlings" broken, wild shifters who had been
exiled for their own good, but yet close enough for the
comfort offered by their alpha. Something is happening, a
traitor among them will make the whole area BURN BRIGHT if
Charles and Anna cannot stop it.
Anna as an Omega can bring peace to the werewolves who need
it and Charles as his father's right hand can and will bring
justice to all who deserve it. No matter what form that must
take. They manage to stop an abduction of a wolf, but that
is only the beginning of their strange and terrifying
adventure filled with dark magic.
BURN BRIGHT is fantastic! I have loved author Patricia
Briggs Alpha and
Omega series from the beginning and love watching as
the characters grow, evolve and come together. In this one,
it was really interesting how the Marrok was missing, and it
all fell to Anna and Charles. Anna has changed so much over
time with the help, love, and support of Charles that it is
amazing. (For those new to the series she was forced to
become a werewolf and horribly abused by her former alpha in
the hopes of saving his mate's sanity.) Charles too has
changed, he's found a bit of a sense of humor and with the
help of Anna has delved into his feelings more, though I
guess you can't be expected to be an executioner and feel
too deeply.
You won't be able to help yourself you will be pulled into
this story with your heart touched by these broken people
because everyone knows someone who just doesn't fit the
mold. The intrigue is full-blown, the action high and the
traitor is a really big shock! I was kind of hoping it was
someone else so we can be rid of her but alas Ms. Briggs had
other ideas.
BURN BRIGHT is the book you want if you are looking for
intrigue, suspense, danger, love, action, werewolves,
witches, and Fae. I am already looking forward to the next
offering in this series!
In her bestselling Alpha and Omega series, Patricia
Briggs "spins tales of werewolves, coyote shifters, and
magic and, my, does she do it well" (USATODAY.com). Now
mated werewolves Charles Cornick and Anna Latham face a
threat like no other--one that lurks too close to
home...
They are the wild and the broken. The
werewolves too damaged to live safely among their own kind.
For their own good, they have been exiled to the outskirts
of Aspen Creek, Montana. Close enough to the Marrok's pack
to have its support; far enough away to not cause any
harm.
With their Alpha out of the country, Charles
and Anna are on call when an SOS comes in from the fae mate
of one such wildling. Heading into the mountainous
wilderness, they interrupt the abduction of the wolf--but
can't stop blood from being shed. Now Charles and Anna must
use their skills--his as enforcer, hers as peacemaker--to
track down the attackers, reopening a painful chapter in the
past that springs from the darkest magic of the witchborn...
