All of the interesting plot points were only implied. Nothing really happened. You just go day to day with the nonsense of heat/rut sessions and eventually pregnancy. It almost seemed like it was going to be interesting because the explanation of how the story is supposed to build up is quite unique. The government is stealing omegas and nobody knows why. I have many speculations but that doesn’t matter because I wasn’t given the chance to piece anything together. ...more

Alpha/omega roles are loosely used. It was more like an”in name only” type of thing, other than the omega pregnancy. I hate going in with a foundation and then getting something different. Tresten was a stuck up douche, which I guess makes sense in a little rich boy kind of way. He defied everything omega so of course he acted more beta than anything. Pushing to prove himself among the alphas. Loch was the typical little alpha brother in a family where it’s best to be the first born, so he did his own thing. I actually quite liked him and his personality. He never really had to be”that” alpha so I get why he wasn’t as intense. And he did stand up where it mattered but ugh definitely not alpha enough. Again he too acted more like a beta most of the time. Their relationship was odd. They got to talking about being mates and fated. Impossible. It never should’ve been implied. If that were the case they would have been the best of friends since they have known each other since childhood, unless it was a case of not knowing until maturity, which is a plausible reason. Even still, they would have come together immediately when Tresten came into heat. And speaking of heat, in what world is the omega outside living life while in heat. Sucked the life out of having an actual heat scene. I love those. Yeah I’m not going to go into that rant. In a matter of days they are madly in love and boom happily ever after. Even though this was a quick and easy read, I don’t think I liked it as much as I thought before I started this review. It was decent for a quick enemy to lover, insta-love read. If this is the typical style of writing for this author, I’m not sure I will pick up another unless the blurb or cover catches my eye. ...more

The blue for this book doesn’t match the actual book but it’s ok. Nolan and Casey were fated of course. The usual insta-love since they are both shifters with the ability to recognize their mate. The whole this was super cheesy with not a lot of meat to it. I assumed including Casey’s shifting issue would actually come into play but it didn’t. So it was really no point in it being a part of the story. It was a quick and easy read, but nothing happened. The just lived and loved in peace....more
I really enjoyed this from beginning to end. Although I really need these authors to understand what a dark read is because this is not dark, definiteI really enjoyed this from beginning to end. Although I really need these authors to understand what a dark read is because this is not dark, definitely pushes the limits into a grey area though. Damyr was a bit of a lovable douche. He had the usual temperament that comes with a vampire of a certain age and carried himself as he should. He was the boss and it was portrayed well by himself and those around him. From the beginning I knew he wasn’t going to let Benji go. As soon as he said he felt something I knew. I didn’t think it would be a fated mate story but boom surprise. I love how it didn’t take the usual road of the human not feeling the connection. That just makes things more complicated can between them things didn’t need any more complications. Benji was a little spitfire. He never backed down, no matter how stupid it seemed to do so. But in the end it made everyone respect or at least not worry about his presence. Now the mob aspect was unnecessary but I get why it’s there. It added to the true level of destruction when the time came. Even though now I just wonder what happened with all that because it wasn’t mentioned in the aftermath. The main event was quite interesting to try to piece together and I completely got it wrong. I never would have guessed who it was and exactly why. The puzzle slowly comes together but trust you won’t get it until he reveals himself and then it’s like “but why?” ...more
First, this is not a dark romance. Definitely edgy since it’s dealing with some “mafia” topics but dark it is not. Now had Angel stuck with his originFirst, this is not a dark romance. Definitely edgy since it’s dealing with some “mafia” topics but dark it is not. Now had Angel stuck with his original plan of making Cam need him then breaking him it would tip the scales. It started off on the right path then switched up way too quick for my liking. My little black heart would have loved to see Cam broken and built back up, but hey the other girlies like the fluffy hea better. I am curious to know what’s up with Devil and the detective. However I’m not so interested that I’m gonna run to find out. Maybe on a different weekend binge it might end up coming back around. ...more

I just did not like the characters and the storyline itself was a let down. I expected a sweet love story with the challenge of distance and maybe a shock of knowing about otherworldly things. No. Well I mean yes it gives that but it sucks in its delivery. At some points their whole conversation is stuck in childish cock jokes. The alpha giggles. Ugh no that is not for me. Lennox is an alpha in name only, he has absolutely no alpha qualities. Herix is no omega. Why place tags on them that don’t fit their personality. Other than the fact that they recognize each other as mates, they have nothing else.
“I’m being fucked, everyone, and it feels so good.”
“Oh Gods, I’ve been missing out. All human alphas should try this. I have a dick, a Thulnaran length in my ass, and I love it.”
Who says stuff like this while having sex. Ugh not even the spice was spicy. It was downright cringe at times. ...more

Know who Loshka is and where her came from, this is not the story I thought it would be. Obviously I knew he would be sold as he is a slave. Now who he was sold to threw me for a loop but not too far off so I’m thinking to myself that no way is this book gonna get that dark. But oh it tried to. Now it’s his conditioning that I have a problem with. It fell away with ease, which doesn’t make sense because that was his entire life. That doesn’t go away a quick or as easy. I just couldn’t make that make much sense. But luckily he found the sweetness that is Malik. Even though that meeting was just ugh horrible. The flash and then boom, you’re my mate, let’s go home. I could not roll my eyes hard enough at that craziness. Overall it was a decent read that was entertaining all the way through. I liked the involvement of the other characters and the dynamics of their family unit. Gives me a little taste of what personality to expect moving forward with this series. ...more

I caWhen I started this one I didn’t know it was a continuation of the couple in book one. I was hoping for something different. This was not for me. I can’t pinpoint exactly why I didn’t like either Mc but I didn’t. They didn’t belong together at all. So much about them was skipped over so it made it hard to grasp why they even came back together. And what happened to Mike when Danny left? I hate when important information is continuously implied as if I was there to see it. ...more

Mind you, i started this off wrong. Just picked a random book on my self without realizing i was starting dead in the middle of a conflict with no understanding of what was happening. However somehow in these short pages i was caught up to speed pretty quickly and don’t feel like i was thrown to the wolves. I think i will try to get the rest so i can start from the beginning. I need to understand what this thing with Kent is and understand why what happened was happening. Plus what was up with the whole training thing. Yeah i missed a lot. But with the few context clues laying around i made it through this pretty easy with only the thought that i have to start over. Now i want to read them all. ...more

I was a bit surprised at how quick that switch flipped but i still enjoyed it. It was a total spice fest with a lot of sweetness thrown in. They were so right for each other, which is crazy cause it said opposites attract. They were almost the same other than their upbringing which ended up being what brought them closer. They were almost story was packed full of twists and action. A few chuckles and some awes. Good read overall. ...more

Beastkin took on the role of what is usually designated only for omegas in the dark sides of the omegaverse. I like the different take out having the institute out for all the beast, pretty specist. Even though this story would have taken a deep dive into the dark, i do wish it would have started at the institute before the great escape instead of just implying. Catching little snippets of what happened there just seemed like the easy way out. Having that edge would have made this a 5 star for me. I felt like it was just missing so much and had the intention of giving more than it really did. ...more

I originally picked this up because I assumed it would be a steamy shifter Mpreg but no that was so not the case. I’m quite surprised that the storyline caught and held my attention. The characters are all so likable and relatable. Mayhem might be my favorite and it’s mainly because he’s a funny asshole, his dynamic with Venom is hilarious and sweet. They are definitely family. Kurt was also surprisingly well written. I love that effort was put into the main characters and their roles weren’t misunderstood. OAN: it’s not incredibly spicy but the story makes up for that. ...more
