If you've been reading Patricia Brigg's Mercy Thompson series, as I have from the day it first came out, you're familiar with the werewolf world she's created. This is sort of like a spin-off tv series. It's the same world, and you see some events from a different viewpoint. This series is about Charles Cornick, the son of the Marrok, who's in charge of the North American werewolves. I read or listened to this entire series as soon as I found out about it, and enjoyed it every bit as much as, maybe even more than, the Mercy Thompson books. This is really about the werewolves while Mercy Thompson delves into a lot of supernatural beings. When I finished the Alpha and Omega series I went back and listened to MT all over again and decided that I really prefer the werewolves to the fae and the vampires. The wolves start out human and are, for me, easier to identify with. I can better understand why they do things the way they do while the vampires in particular, with the exception of Stephan, are just nasty. The Fae are a little easier for me to like. Alpha and Omega as a series has more to do with the individuals among the wolves. I just like them.
