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.

I have the Alpha and Omega book (the first) but haven't given it a try yet. Briggs is one of my favorite authors (although it's actually her older stuff like When Demons Walk" that I rate as one of my all-time favorite fatansies). Anyway the Alpha and Omega description never caught my interest really. I bough the book because I enjoyed her Mercy Thompson series (through about book 3...maybe 4. I haven't read the whole series.)
I'll get round to it one of these days...
