challenging dark mysterious medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

The only good thing about this book is the ending. Literally at the 97% mark. I don't mind Charles or Anna but it's like PB can't write anything without making women characters victims or SA victims. SA is not the only thing that makes women survivors, resilient or tough. It's old, tiring and just makes me want to not power through this series. The decade the series came out in is not an excuse.

 I just love Charles + Anna. Alpha and Omega series is such a comfort read for me.
So Charles is like the "muscle" for the werewolves in the USA. Lately he has had to put down a lot more werewolves than normal and he has some literal ghosts hanging around, messing up everything.
To help distract him, Anna takes Charles to Boston to hunt down a longtime serial killer that's taken to targeting werewolves.
Fair Game was a fun ride with new characters and a delightful, dark mystery.
I liked it a lot. It was a standard Briggs novel - a fast easy read. Loved it.
