Burn Bright by Patricia Briggs (2018) Penguin Random House 

Bran Cornick, the Marrok, or leader of the North American werewolves, is out of town and unreachable.  Charles, his son, has been left in charge and Anna, his wife, an Omega whose presence can calm the wolf inside someone who is having trouble with control, are given an emergency that threatens not only wildings, but the entire pack.Someone has captured one of the wildings, one who is married to a high elf and living in seclusion in the mountains in Montana.  When Charles and Anna go to see what is wrong, they find their captured werewolf in a cage and are ambushed by other werewolves with a witch gun and rifles.  Rather than let their captive escape, they kill her.  The elf’s response is to cause earthquakes as he takes his own life.

There is a traitor in the pack.

Leah, Bran’s mate, makes assignments to check on the other wildings and pairs Charles with another wolf, Sage, and pairs Anna with Asil, the Moor.  Each of these have their own history.  This is part of what makes the series interesting to read.  There are no flat or cardboard characters in the world of the story.

Every book in the series is a page turner and I watch for more stories by this excellent storyteller.
