In ‘ Dead Heat’ it was about family and what that means when part of the family is supernatural. There are always violent confrontations and complicated magic but the plot of each book is also always wrapped around a theme or themes. Each book has a threat or challenge that must be overcome. The two of them are very different and both of them sit just outside the typical range of werewolf supernatural types. They’re very focused on Charles and Anna and how they see the world and each other. The Alpha and Omega books feel quite intimate. They’re books I look forward to because I know that I’ll slip into them completely and learn more each time. Although the two series share the same world and timeline and have an overlapping cast of characters, the Alpha and Omega series has developed a distinctive voice of its own. By the fourth book ‘Dead Heat’, that had changed. I started reading this spin-off series as a kind of filler while I waited for the next Mercy Thompson book to come out. This is my fifth visit with Charles and Anna and it’s the best of the series so far.
