Cry Wolf by Patricia Briggs (MyriadBooks)
MyriadBooks: Yes, yes; one is an urban fantasy werewolf novel and the other a futurist police procedural/romance, but both of them have intensely character-driven protagonists whose relationships bind their series' together and evolve with each new book published.

I read this for the "An Author Who Uses A Pseudonym" part of my 2019 reading challenge. It was decent, the crime was well written enough that the bad guy wasn't immediately obvious, but I wouldn't say it was a surprise either. I'd be willing to read more of the series. (

The Story:

I’ve been wanting to read this series for a long time and this Read-a-long is a very good excuse to start it. I didn’t realize I was committing to 60 books but after this first one I don’t think it will be a problem. There is action, passion and a good mystery all set in the future. I can’t wait to see where this goes. (
