Seeing Charles away from his family - but amidst friends that might as well be, sheds a good deal of light on his character - not just his past.
It’s about spending time with these people, understanding them a bit better - at least in a new light. There’s not a lot here that will progress the story of either series, no dramatic character growth or supernatural threat that will shake things up. Thankfully, conveniently, fortuitously, Charles and Anna are in town and they (with the help of the local pack) can take charge to protect those who need it the most. Sure - something supernatural comes up, there’s something/someone that needs to be stopped before people die. There’s no assignment, no renegade werewolf, no investigation - just Charles trying to get a gift for Anna and introducing her to an old friend. Hunting Game is a nice departure from the typical setup for these books. well, honestly, I don’t know, she’s been doing her own thing. We’re not given a lot (or any, as far as I can recall) of information about what’s been going on in the lives of Charles and Anna since then, but we can guess - they’ve grown closer, Charles has done a little enforcing for his father, Anna’s. Things seem to have been pretty quiet for these two.
It’s been three years since the jaw-dropping conclusion of Fair Game, and we’re finally able to get back to Brigg’s Alpha and Omega series. What (barring a significant shift in quality) can I say that I haven’t already said? I’m honestly not sure here, but I’ll give it a try. One of the biggest difficulties I have here on this ol’ blog is coming up with something to say about later books in a series. Mystery/Detective Fiction/Crime Fiction/Thriller.
