Blind Date with a Werewolf
by Patricia Briggs
About this book
When the deadly werewolf Asil is gifted five blind dates by some anonymous “friends,” his reclusive life will never be the same, in this enthralling novel in stories from the 1 New York Times bestselling author of the Mercy Thompson series.
Includes two all-new stories as well as three previously published stories.
Dear Asil:We are worried about you. A werewolf alone is a sad thing, especially at Christmastime. So we have a challenge for you: five dates in three weeks. We have taken the work out of it and connected you with five people from online dating sites. You should also know that we have informed the whole pack and instigated a betting pool. Have fun!
Sincerely,
Your Concerned Friends

I've been reading Patricia Briggs for decades. She weaves a great story with great characters involving magic, romance, political intrigue and a keen eye concerning the human condition... even when she is writing about werewolves, vampires, fae, and a myriad other number of fantasy beings. Each of her books is a treat to read and continues to expand the world and characters she has created. This particular book was a great pleasure to read, and proves that even cantankerous and reclusive old...

Fantastic! As a HUGE fan of Patricia Briggs, Blind Date with a Werewolf felt like a special dessert! You could read this book without knowing all the players, but why would you when this series—or universe—is so unique? I love Mercy and Anna, the two main characters of the Mercyverse. Both are so distinct and unforgettable. Patricia Briggs has a knack for creating compelling characters, and this is where Asil comes into play. Asil, better known as the Moor, is an ancient werewolf who is smart,...

Huzzah! What a terrific Alpha & Omega series book that did not even have Charles nor Anna as the main protagonists! Instead, we have Asil, another member of the Marrok's pack. This book is unusual because it is a novel told via short stories. Specifically, stories published elsewhere (most probably in themed anthologies) but later the author got the rights back sufficient to bring out her OWN collection of these her works. The main character, Asil, is an extremely old werewolf who came to the...

If I could give this book 10 stars, I would. I’m not sure I have the words to express just how absolutely fantastic this was. I love this series as well as Mercy series. But man this book was just pure fun. I LOVED it so much. What a crazy good concept for this character. It had action, whimsy and so much heart. I can’t wait for more. Just WOW. I will add that the title kind of put me off but this author never disappoints. So I decided to read. Thank the gods I did. Man. Am I going to have a...

This book came out of left field for me, but instantly became one of my favorites in the Mercy Thompson/Alpha and Omega setting. Many of the folks in the Marrok's pack are really interesting, but Asil has been just crying for some spin off stories and three fulfill that potential. )
