Patricia Brigg’s second Alpha & Omega series book – Hunting Ground – was a very fun, fast read.  I tend to buy whatever Patricia Briggs publishes and then just sit down and read it.  They don’t take long – a few hours at most.  This series is in the wonderful Mercy Thompson world, definitely fast-paced urban fantasy with heavy romance tone.  Werewolves are fodder for very capable larger-than-life characters, and Briggs doesn’t miss a beat.

These are pure entertainment .. this was my candy before jumping into Anathem, which is a very different kind of wonderful.  But if you need an airplane read or a beach read, or a sitting by the fire with a glass of wine read, consider this.  Or any of the Mercy Thomson stories if you haven’t read those yet.
