Anna Latham Cornick mate of Charles Cornick, Omega of the Aspen Creek Pack. Wolf. Sister. Daughter. Lover. Beloved 
 Anna: You are a remarkable man Charles Cornick. 
 Charles: I know. And often underappreciated by those who don't know any better. 
 You know, on an aside,if Bran, Charles, and Samuel were real, I'd be so jealous of their mates. 
 I loved this one even more than Cry Wolf. Patricia Briggs' storytelling works wonderfully well for me. I love the gentle strength that characterizes Anna. and Charles. and Bran. and Samuel, come to think of it (Samuel has nothing to do with this book, but I can't talk of Charles and Bran without mentioning him, lol!) You don't see it often enough in any genre. 
 The whodunit worked very well for me. Sure, it was predictable, but the execution of it was rather unexpected, quite flawless, and done for maximum effect. 
 Loved it! Now I have to go pre-order Fair Game
