This is a the beginning of a great series. I love Patricia Briggs and I love this series! I love the different view of Mercedes Thompson series and I love being able to see more from some of the side characters from Mercy's world. This series focuses more on the romance than Mercy's world.

I will read anything by Patricia Briggs. The characters are likable and both Anna and Charles are strong in their own right. The compliment each other well.

This was a great beginning to a new series. I loved the characters and the story line. Scarlet was a sassy character and I couldn't wait to see what she would say and do next. Keller and Madden were two strong male leads and I loved seeing their interaction with Scarlet and just how much she affected them. It was a great read and I am looking forward to the next stories. I love that she introduced us to future characters and gave us a little information about them. Can't wait to read their stories. The only complaint I have is having to wait to find out what will happen with the other characters. All in all, this was another great book from Celia Kyle and I am looking forward to continuing this series.

This was a great start to what seems like it will be a great series. I love learning about Trey and Harley, and I cannot wait to see what lies ahead for them. This was a great story that I cannot wait to read more of.

This is a great book - and the beginning of a great series. I've read the entire series and I will probably read it again. It's that good.

I truely love these books.  I like Patricia Briggs writing style.  Her books are easy reading, but are still very descriptive.  I very much agree and like her take on the werewolves and vampires. Her characters are detailed and believable.  Which says a lot considering several are werewolves.  The main character Mercy is a person anyone could identify with.  A rough child hood and feeling like she doesn't truly belong anywhere.  Because of this she is strong and independant. She made her own place to belong.  She has a sneaky sense of humor and I found myself laughing out loud.  All the books keep a steady/ fast pace.  No boring parts.  Her other series Alpha and Omega is just as good and related to the Mercy books.  Other series are just as good too.  I would recommend these for ages 14 and up.

With "Silence Fallen" Patricia Briggs has added another great "read" to her Mercy Thompson series. A lot of other authors have started out their series with compelling characters and interesting plots, but their story arc turns stale or simplistic after 4 or 5 books. Not so with Mercy, Stephan, Adam, and pack ... In fact, after finishing Silence Fallen, I went back to read the earlier books because I wasn't ready to put the characters away for the year or so until (I hope) Patricia releases Mercy's next adventure.

I bought this to read the story by Patricia Briggs and it was great! Can't wait to read the rest and find a new author I can't put down.

Yay! A start to another great series by Christie Kelley. I really enjoyed this book. It's a fast and fun read, but still filled with just enough angst and mystery to keep you guessing. As always, I loved the hero. She knows how to write a sexy hero! She always has some surprising twists in her books as well, and this one does not disappoint in that department either. There were some twists and turns that I didn't see coming. I love when an author can pull that off. But what always keeps me going back to Ms. Kelley are those hot heroes. Definitely check this one out. I cannot wait for the next in the series!

I love A Perfect Fit, the DiCarlo Brides book 1. Heather did an amazing job. This was a fabulous book that kept you going. This was a great start to am amazing series. You will laugh, cry and yell at the book...but that is what makes the book so good.

I borrowed this book on my kindle unlimited subscription and i am so glad I did.  Kara has been alone a long time keeping herself alive, never needing anyone.  Until one day she inadvertently rescues three men, her life will change forever

Well written with a fiesty heroine and 3 very different men, this is the start of what promises to be an exciting series, I really enjoyed this book and am eager to start book two

This is a great story. It's the intro story for the Alpha & Omega series which is great (I've read the series previously but never reviewed it). I love Patricia Briggs' work and this series is another example of why. There is some crossover between this and her Mercy Thompson series.

Anna is a werewolf and has been for 3 years. Unfortunately she was turned against her will and is part of a horrible pack that abuses her regularly. She has been struggling to get by but when she sees a news story about a young man that she know was in her Alpha's house she decides she needs to call in a higher authority, the Marrack (the leader of all the werewolves in North America). She's terrified because dominant wolves have always meant pain for her but she's determined to try to help the boy. When she speaks to the Marrack, she finds out he's already sent someone to Chicago and he asks her to meet his emissary.

Charles is his Father's (the Marrack) enforcer. He's an old and very Dominant. He's been sent to Chicago to investigate a few issues. He isn't expecting a last minute change in plans when he gets a message from his father to meet a female werewolf at the airport and keep her safe. He's also not expecting her to be an Omega (a rare type of werewolf that helps calm others) and that his wolf will immediately decide to claim her as his mate.

The story isn't long and only takes place over a little over a day. Charles and Anna discuss things and Charles finds out that some weird stuff has been going on in the pack (including the many instances of abuse and rape of Anna over the 3 years she's been in the pack). Things between Charles and Anna don't get much further than beginning interest (no insta-love) but it was done well and you can see the starting of a connection between them and Anna feels safe with Charles and that's something she hasn't had since she was turned. There are a couple encounters with some of the bad werewolves and a final confrontation in which the mystery is solved and the bad guys are taken out. The story ends with a possibility of a HEA (which will come about in the continuing series) as Charles asks Anna to move to Montana with him so they can explore a possible relationship together (their human sides that is, since their wolves are already there).

This is a great story. I love Charles and Anna. She's been through so much but yet is still has spirit and is willing to do what needs to be done to help others. Charles is so gruff and has to be hard in what he does for his Father but he finds in Anna, someone he wants to shelter and protect and that brings about soft feelings in him for the first time in his life (and he's had a long life so far). This story is a lead in to the series so I'd recommend planning to read the first book of the series Cry Wolf right after this as it starts immediately after this book leaves off. I'd recommend this story. 2 thumbs up! :D

* note - I listened to the audio version of this. The narrator did a very good job.

If you like books by Patricia Briggs and/or Faith Hunter, you will love this series. Lots of action and good dialogue.  References to gaming and popular sci fi/fantasy make this book a lot fun and gives it a touch of contemporary reality.

I love Patricia Briggs and I have nearly every story she's ever written in one format or the other.  The Alpha & Omega series is a subset of her Mercedes Thompson werecoyote series which starts with Moon Called - same world, slightly different timeline, always amazing. If you like alternate reality series, these stories are great to sink your teeth into.

I like Patricia Briggs' universe and characters.  I like the loyalty, courage, and tenacity of the main characters and the depiction of a marriage as a partnership, a pack as loyal to each other.

What a great book to start off this series I absolutely loved Jane and Brock. Their story had all the good feels and good laugh out loud moments this author is so good at writing . The twins are the best can't wait to read there stories next. Can't wait to see what grandma  Nadine and Charles have in store for them.

The start of a great series of books.  I'll admit that I liked #2 and #3 in the series better than this book only because of the ending.  However, it introduces the town of Crazy and its unusual residents and sets up the next several books.  Definitely worth reading and don't stop there because you will miss all the fun of the further adventures of Lil and Boris in the rest of the series.
