It's been a couple years since Hunting Ground the second book in the Alpha Omega series was released and I've missed Anna and Charles. Whereas their storyline events happend before those in the Mercy Thompson series, Fair Game brings both of the series up-to-date. If you are following the timeline the events in Fair Game happen after Mercy and Adam return from their honeymoon (references are made to Mercy's recuperation). 
 A lot has been going on for Anna and Charles since Hunting Ground. In Hunting Ground the wolves were meeting to discuss revealing themselves to the public. With Fair Game the wolves have been out for a while now and we find Charles having to enforce more and more. It's taken a toll on him and Anna tries to get Bran to see reason, but he's the Marrock and it seemed to me (while reading) he was in a state of stubborness and denial about his son's state of mind. 
 After being talked some sense into regarding the fact that all Charles has been doing lately is killing wolves who are misbehaving, it's decided that Anna and Charles will go to Boston to help the FBI solve a serial killer case that has recently targeted werewovles. 
 I liked the Boston location. It's full of history and it's more of a "big city" than the locale of Montana can be. I liked the secondary characters added for this book. Leslie the FBI agent who also gets her background told in the prologue is a nice addition. It's refreshing to see someone not be so skeptical of the werewolves and try to understand them more. We also get to meet Alistair Beauclaire throughout the investigation when his daughter is kidnapped by the killer. He proves to be a major player with the Fae. 
 This book did a great job of kind of setting up the rest of the Mercy Thompson and Alpha Omega series. There are events that happen by the end of the book that will have an effect on everyone and I'm really interested to see how Patricia Briggs plays all of it out now that the series's timelines are running parallel to each other. 
 I really liked the book a lot, and the only thing I can say is I wish it would have been a little bit longer. I mean we, the reader, are coming into a conflict between Charles and Anna that has been going on for almost a year and everything is summed up for us in a matter of days? I would have appreciated more discussion about the problems they were having. It would be a good testament to their relationship to delve deeper into the resolution they found. Charles has clearly been hurting for quite awhile in the opening of the book and I feel like his healing and in effect their healing as a couple was rushed through. 
 Regardless, Patricia Briggs did great with this book, and I can't wait to see where both of her series are heading in the future. The possibilities are endless as far as I'm concerned. Until Then!
