They are the wild and the broken. The werewolves too damaged to live safely among their own kind. For their own good, they have been exiled to the outskirts of Aspen Creek, Montana. Close enough to the Marrok’s pack to have its support; far enough away to not cause any harm.

With their Alpha out of the country, Charles and Anna are on call when an SOS comes in from the fae mate of one such wildling. Heading into the mountainous wilderness, they interrupt the abduction of the wolf–but can’t stop blood from being shed. Now Charles and Anna must use their skills–his as enforcer, hers as peacemaker–to track down the attackers, reopening a painful chapter in the past that springs from the darkest magic of the witchborn…

Burn Bright was an enjoyable read. I liked the direction the story took, even though I predicted who the traitor was pretty much right away. As usual I enjoyed learning more about Anna's Omega ability and how it works. And I love Charles and Anna together and the way they complement each other.

This time around we learn more about the wildlings, in particular the artist, Wellesley. I liked reading the chapters about him and his past the most. Another enjoyable character in this book was Asil. I did feel like the story dragged in a couple of places, and I didn't enjoy it quite as much as I enjoyed the last book in the series, but overall it was nice to revisit Charles and Anna and this world in general. Patricia Briggs has become one of those authors whose books I look forward to every year. I love her writing style and the fact that she can somehow make an Urban Fantasy feel like a warm and cozy read as well.
