I read this right after Mercy Thompson #11, thinking I needed more of that world, but it turned out I found it repetitive. Normally I really like the Alpha & Omega series, but this one felt tedious. Same trope, different book. I guess that's the point with series novels, but I wanted a little more. Still, I think my reaction may have been more about consecutive Patricia Briggs novels than whether or not Anna and Charles were dull. Or maybe they were.
