Synopsis: Anna Latham didn’t know how complicated life could be until she became a werewolf. And until she was mated to Charles Cornick, the son — and enforcer — of Bran, the leader of the North American werewolves, she didn’t know how dangerous it could be either…

Anna and Charles have just been enlisted to attend a summit to present Bran’s controversial proposition: that the wolves should finally reveal themselves to humans. But the most feared Alpha in Europe is dead set against the plan — and it seems like someone else might be too. When Anna is attacked by vampires using pack magic, the kind of power only werewolves should be able to draw on, Charles and Anna must combine their talents to hunt down whoever is behind it all — or risk losing everything… -Goodreads

Review: Love, love, love Patricia Briggs! She never disappoints. Hunting Ground is the next chapter in the Mercy Thompson spin off series which follows Anna and Charles as they deal with the wild, wild word of werewolf politics.

The politics that are involved with admitting the existence of werewolves were actually really well thought out and in depth which played a big part of why I enjoyed this book even more than the last in this series. So, much fun! I especially loved how everyone instinctively wanting to protect Anna played into the story line. Patricia Briggs knows her wolves very well and that shows in each character and all of their interactions. There is a reason why so many people love her books.

Obviously, the relationship between Anna and Charles was once again a big part of the book (as it’s the central storyline of the series) and it was nice to see them get more comfortable with each other and really relax into having someone else in their lives. They both need to learn to be a little more comfortable with themselves, but we’ll get there.

I would have loved to see more of Charle’s father Bran in this book and I hope he’ll become part of the story somewhere down the line as he is still this mysterious figure in all of the books in this world. We know about his history, his relationships etc. but I still don’t feel like I really get his character besides all of the awesomness.

Overall, another great addition to a wonderful series that I can’t wait to read more of.
