Burn Bright Review: Just a heads up: These are totally my personal thoughts on the book. It's not a formal review or anything, but I figured I'd jot them down anyway. If you're sensitive about opinions, maybe skip this one. So, Patricia Briggs is the author of both The ALPHA AND OMEGA Series and the MERCY THOMPSON Series. But can I just say, they feel like two totally different worlds. It's almost like her writing style takes on Charles' personality in this series. The pace is a bit slower in the Alpha and Omega books. Let me give you an example: In the last Mercy book, SILENCE FALLEN, Mercy gets kidnapped and goes on this crazy adventure across Europe, dealing with werewolves, vampires, fae, witches, golems, and even ghosts. But in this Alpha and Omega book, they spend the whole time dealing with a kidnapping attempt right in their own backyard. It's like comparing apples to oranges, you know? I can't help but make the comparison, especially since Mercy is one of my top favorite characters (although sometimes it's Jane Yellowrock). Now, don't get me wrong, I love Charles. He's such an intriguing character. But his mate, Anna, she's a bit... well, boring. Like a plain old saltine cracker. Even though she's an Omega wolf, I just don't feel that connection with her. I pictured Charles' mate as someone more exciting, you know? Like the whole opposites attract kind of thing. And there's this one part in the book where Anna has this really awkward conversation about Bran and Mercy. It made me want to jump into the story and give her a piece of my mind. Seriously, anyone else feel the same? It was just a moment that didn't endear me to Anna at all. By the end of the book, I found myself caring more about Bran's mate than Anna. And that's saying something, because pretty much everyone dislikes her. Now let's talk about the narrator of the audiobook, Holter Graham. I actually like Holter, but I felt like he didn't put much effort into giving the character Wesley a distinctive Island/African accent. However, he did a fantastic job with everyone else, especially Charles and Azul. Overall, the book was alright. We get to learn more about Bran and even hear some interesting childhood stories about Mercy. Plus, the ending has a really intense fight scene with a lot of action. There are more deaths than I expected from a Patricia Briggs story, which definitely added some excitement to the mix.

I'm a massive fan of Briggs' entire body of work. I've devoured each book multiple times, both through reading and listening. I eagerly pre-ordered 'Burn Bright' and anxiously awaited its release. However, I was sorely disappointed by the nasal whine of the characters and the new pronunciations of their names, which became incredibly grating and made the book almost unbearable. I've learned my lesson and will definitely be more attentive before making another purchase like this in the future.

I share the same sentiment as many other reviewers. "Burn Bright" didn't quite live up to the high standards set by the author's other works. It was decent, nothing outstanding. The conclusion felt rather clumsy and out of place. Nonetheless, I'm eagerly anticipating the release of her next book, which I believe might be a crossover. Overall, it was an enjoyable read.
