I love the Dresden Files and figured I'd give Alpha and Omega (Cry Wolf - Book 1) a try. I read about half the book and I've put it down for now. I might pick it back up after reading some other library books.
The problem I'm having is that it wasn't seeming like a Book 1 of a series. They keep referencing events that happened before the book like you were supposed to know what happened. That sort of thing drives me crazy. I don't mind figuring out the past as a story goes along but I hate feeling like I'm missing something.
I went onto Wikipedia and it looks like there was a novella written before Cry Wolf ("Alpha and Omega" (novella, published in On the Prowl (2007))).
I figure I'm about to the part of the story where the present is outweighing the past but I was so frustrated I just put the book down.
Ahh well. A few other books and I'll give it another go.
