She also has a highly developed magic system in her books. One of the things that draw me to Patricia Briggs’ books is how well she draws characters. ![]() It was good to see Charles’ vulnerable side for once and I enjoyed watching the FBI trying to figure out how someone as small and young and unthreatening as Anna having authority over the very-intimidating-to-be-with Charles. The Marrok puts Anna in charge and sends Charles as her escort ![]() He sends Anna and Charles to Boston to collaborate with the FBI in hunting a serial killer whose targets are known to have included werewolves. To ease the pressure, the Marrok gives Charles the opportunity to be a good guy for a change. This book starts by looking at the burden Charles carries for being the Marrok’s enforcer in a time when greater than normal discipline is needed because the werewolves have just publicly declared themselves. The last book, ‘Hunting Ground‘established Anna in a stable relationship with Charles. I’m restricting myself to one book a month so that I don’t gobble them all down too quickly. ‘Fair Game’ is the third novel-length episode of the spin-off series from the Mercedes Thompson series. ![]()
