Mercy Thompson

On the data. Two things. The two series are written to be read together. Alpha and Omega started as a spin-off and became a parallel series, and from partway through both, characters cross over and events in one are taken as known in the other. Reading one series to the end and then the other means encountering a lot of references in reverse. Patricia Briggs publishes a combined order on her website. The novella comes first in the spin-off. Alpha and Omega is a novella that was published in an anthology called On the Prowl, and it is where the couple in that series meet. Cry Wolf, the first novel, opens after it. Buying Cry Wolf on its own and starting there is a very common mistake. The Mercy books are still being written, past thirteen, and the Alpha and Omega books past six. The setting is unusually specific: the Tri-Cities of eastern Washington, a real and not particularly glamorous place, described with enough accuracy that locals recognise the streets. That grounding is a lot of why the series works.
