 I just love Charles + Anna. Alpha and Omega series is such a comfort read for me.
So Charles is like the "muscle" for the werewolves in the USA. Lately he has had to put down a lot more werewolves than normal and he has some literal ghosts hanging around, messing up everything.
To help distract him, Anna takes Charles to Boston to hunt down a longtime serial killer that's taken to targeting werewolves.
Fair Game was a fun ride with new characters and a delightful, dark mystery.
I liked it a lot. It was a standard Briggs novel - a fast easy read. Loved it.

This is one of my favourite rereads. I get tired of reading books with immature couples and over the top drama so I appreciate Patricia Briggs way of portraying healthy relationships in her books. It makes her writing even more enjoyable because its not always about somebody's hurt ego. I love Charles and Anna's relationship.

This story deals with hunting a serial killer with decades of victims. Several victims have been raped and that is mentioned, although not graphically. One of the most recent victims is a child, and there is a scene involving a spirit of the child (briefly) - but that spirit doesn't speak. The deaths are spoken of clinically and usually in summary to bring our main characters Anna and Charles up to speed on the investigation.
