Fair Game by Patricia Briggs
4.0
Set a couple of years after Hunting Ground, this book start with Anna and Charles's relationship not being in the greatest place -- being the Marrok's enforcer is weighing on Charles and he won't let Anna in to help him. At Adam Hauptman's suggestion, Bran sends Anna and Charles to Boston to help with a case, hoping it will help to clear Charles of his low mood. The wolves have clearly come out to the public since the last book so it was interesting to see Anna and Charles have to contend with humans who know what they are as well as other supernatural creatures (fae, witches, no vampires this time).
Anna's clearly come a bit more into her own since the events of Hunting Ground; at times she takes the lead over Charles and seems quite comfortable doing it. She's not frightened by any of the government agents she has to deal with and doesn't seem to be frightened of other wolves anymore either, although we don't see them in the same numbers as in Hunting Ground.
The ending felt a bit...not quite abrupt but clearly a next book was planned. I would have liked a bit more of a resolution with the FBI agent Leslie, since the book starts with a background story about her, unless we're going to see her again in a later book; it wouldn't surprise me if we see the Boston alpha, Isaac again too.
As always, my favorite part of this series is the relationship between Charles and Anna and seeing how they work through challenges together. A second favorite is seeing the two of them with Bran who, while I get that he generally has to stay in Montana to look after his pack, I find myself always wishing he was in these books just a bit more.
