  7. Frost Burned (expected publication: Spring 2013)

The books in the sister series, Alpha & Omega, by Patricia Briggs are:
  1.  Alpha and Omega: A Companion Novella to Cry Wolf (originally published in the 'On the Prowl' anthology by Patricia Briggs, Eileen Wilks, Karen Chance, and Sunny)
  2. Cry Wolf
  3. Hunting Ground
  4. Fair Game

  2. Question before I signup.. do re-reads count? I've read all of Patricia's books, except for Frost Burned, but love them so I have no problem rereading them:)

    1. Hi, Melissa! Sure, re-reads count as long as you link up a new review or at least update an existing review with the note that you re-read it in 2012 and provide some comments on re-reading the book!
