Like Kelley Armstrong, Patricia Briggs is one of the more reliable authors of the genre; her novels are consistent in character while still encouraging development and growth, and she well-balances the expectations of new readers and old. In Fair Game the reader finds Anna and Charles in the midst of some personal turmoil: Anna can feel that something is wrong with her mate and is afraid he is hurting himself more than Bran may realize and Charles, haunted both literally and figuratively, shuts her out in a misguided attempt to protect his wife. Thinking a change of scenery and occupation may give the couple time to heal, Bran sends them to assist the FBI in their quest for a serial killer who has been taking out supernaturals since the 70s.
While Anna is not quite the spitfire that Mercy can be, her reclaimed strength makes her an excellent protagonist.
