This book left both my head and my heart spinning, I even have the empty box of tissues to prove it. Alpha broke my heart, and gave me faith in the world all at the same time. Faythe had to face so much adversity in this book. One road block after another fell in her way, but she didn't let them stop her. She kept going, not only for herself, but for her Pride most of all. Words can't explain how proud I am of what Faythe has accomplished in Alpha. The Faythe/Jace/Marc Love Triangle: what is there to say? Basically not a whole lot, without giving away spoilers. I will say this- Faythe does choose one in the end. She isn't forced toward one guy or the other by circumstance (example: one of them is killed in battle). She made the right choice for herself, although the ride along the way is pretty bumpy. Some readers will be happy, while others will be sad. I'm pretty sure Rachel couldn't have made everyone happy, regardless of which way Faythe chose. I absolutely loved getting to know Holly, Michael's wife. She's has always been this unknown entity. I was truly grateful for her presence, late in the book. She inadvertently lent much needed comic relief to a very dark part of this story. While the ending did have it's sad points, everything ended just the way it should have. Lives were lost, and choices were made. Many characters in Faythe's world have messed up through out the series, but in the end some were able to redeem themselves when it really counted. I was also very happy to see who came back to help the South-central pride in the end. My only complaint is that there wasn't an epilogue. I wanted to know how things wrapped up after the final showdown. I just can't believe that was it, it was all over. I felt that so many important questions (at least in my mind) were left unanswered. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a Shifter's short story to hopefully show up in the very near future. Until then, I guess I'll have to make it up for myself. Overall, I want to thank Rachel for writing such amazing characters and such a wonderful world for them to live in! Reading this series, has rejuvenated my love for reading.
