From Amazon:
They say opposites attract. And in the case of werewolves Anna Latham and Charles Cornick, they mate. The son-and enforcer-of the leader of the North American werewolves, Charles is a dominant alpha. While Anna, an omega, has the rare ability to calm others of her kind.
Now that the werewolves have revealed themselves to humans, they can’t afford any bad publicity. Infractions that could have been overlooked in the past must now be punished, and the strain of doing his father’s dirty work is taking a toll on Charles.
Nevertheless, Charles and Anna are sent to Boston, when the FBI requests the pack’s help on a local serial killer case. They quickly realize that not only the last two victims were werewolves-all of them were. Someone is targeting their kind. And now Anna and Charles have put themselves right in the killer’s sights…
I loved loved loved Fair Game.
There is a murder investigation; Charles has serious issues with guilt over being his father’s henchman. Anna is worried about him and somehow ends up speaking with the humans about the murders, with Charles as her bodyguard.
The story is fast and tense and leaves you wanting to know what happens next.
What I liked best: the ending. It was spectacular. The legal court provides a silly (and predictable lol) ruling regarding the fae. A fae lord retaliates. His actions strike me as quite just. I think the schism is going to be permanent and provides for very interesting times ahead.
There are lots of other goods parts. Watching Anna confront the Marok? Fantastic. I mean, no one confronts him.
Charles has a lot of issues in this book. It’s been building and I suppose it’s only natural. One of the werewolves he killed kind of had it coming, but someone else made it sound like he didn’t. Charles fell for it, until yet another werewolf pointed that the punishment would have been the same even before the werewolves came out to the public. It was hard for Charles to see that.
What I don’t understand: Throughout the book, Anna kept telling everyone all the weakness of werewolves. Why? There was no need for her to reveal half as much as she did and I still don’t get why she did it. She told the agents how to behave around Charles and made him sound out of control, which he isn’t. Close to edge, yeah, but still in control.

Story Treasury 
Interesting, I think sometimes authors don’t leave enough to the individuals imagination and feel they have to spell it out – referring to the bit you don’t understand – sounds overall though like a good book.
Oh it is. Ms. Briggs usually writes pretty good books.
I just read this yesterday myself! I think at one point Anna consciously thought about why she was doing it — because the Marrok doesn’t want everyone thinking werewolves are invulnerable monsters. Which, presumably, is because he’s trying to keep people from fearing them, but it does seem as if in the long run it’s just asking for more trouble.
I did figure out the one bad guy before I’d reached the halfway point in the book. I don’t know if everyone will, but I think Briggs did an excellent job of playing fair with her readers.
I figured that out, too. LOL That’s what I thought.
Who was the bad guy
