From The Publisher:

Mated werewolves Charles Cornick and Anna Latham must discover what could make an entire community disappear-before it's too late-in this thrilling entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling Alpha and Omega series.

In the wilds of the Northern California mountains, all the inhabitants of a small town have gone missing. It's as if the people picked up and left their possessions behind. With a mystery on their hands and no jurisdiction on private property, the FBI dumps the whole problem in the lap of the land owner, Aspen Creek, Inc.-aka the business organization of the Marrok's pack.

Somehow, the pack of the Wolf Who Rules is connected to a group of vanished people. Werewolves Charles Cornick and Anna Latham are tasked with investigating, and soon find that a deserted town is the least of the challenges they face.

Death sings in the forest, and when it calls, Charles and Anna must answer. Something has awakened in the heart of the California mountains, something old and dangerous-and it has met werewolves before.

With Anna he had no shield—Charles belonged to Anna with all his complicated soul and uncomplicated heart.

A part of me is always drawn to

A & O a touch more than

Mercy. I

love Mercy, Adam and pack. Yet, I have always enjoyed the deeper look we get into Charles and Anna's relationship, Charles' thoughts and feelings and Anna's strength. I love the way they fit together so perfectly, bring balance to one another and work so well together "in the field" - each instinctively knowing where the other is stronger.

Wild Sign takes us on a Virginia's Roanoke-type journey as Charles, Anna and Tag try to find a missing community and beat a dangerous presence once and for all. We also get a thorough look into Leah's past, which was greatly appreciated and made it possible to finally understand her history, relationship (or lack there of) with Bran. We also get a

MT cameo.

I gotta know ...

Coyote noted,

He hadn’t lied to Charles and Anna, but he had concealed this thing from them. All of the Singer’s children had not died. This one last child had survived. Sam's daughter? Is Anna pregnant? Whose child(ren) remain?

And, that ending! The epilogue really left me wanting more, but, sadly, I know it'll be a while before we get more

A & O.

I really enjoyed Tag! He was a great addition on this trip.

Tag said solemnly, ❝ You can feed your wallet, or you can feed your soul, but you seldom can do both at the same time. ❞

TOO TRUE!

Finally, shout out to my fellow SOSers who will understand the LOL/cringeworthy reaction I had to Anna's remembrance of the old anime movie she watched in high school. ICK!
