Cry Wolf by Patricia Briggs
4.0

I was happy to learn some background information about supporting characters from the Mercy Watson series. I especially like the writing style and the fact that Briggs doesn't need gratuitious sex or violence to make Anna or Charles interesting. Anna is an Omega- which means that she is not bound by the same submissiveness that other werewolves are. She isn't an alpha either. Instead, she has the power to calm and comfort other weres, and they feel the need to open up to her emotionally.

Now that she has been freed from an abusive alpha, she has been taken in by Charles- son of the Marrock of North America. Charles understands Anna's abilities, and tries to help her recover and recognize her potential. They are doing well until a psychotic witch with a vendetta shows up and decides to take over the world. (Cue creepy foreboding music).
