My Review:
There is nothing “pretty” about this book. It is raw and instinctual at the most visceral level. There’s lots of action in this story – maybe a bit too much. There’s lots of description about who does what to whom, but I’m missing the connection to their location. The authors have done a great job of incorporating scents into the story, yet I can’t seem to remember any of the other senses and I’m really feeling the lack of the visual component. Perhaps some of that is the animalistic nature of Alphas and Omegas. But I’m not completely sold on that idea because most animals can see better than humans, so I’m just left feeling a bit lost. I like that Zeus can recognize and feel his emotions, there’s just a lot more of them than I’ve ever seen in any other Omegaverse Alpha. And that feels very odd to me. I love that Lucy is spirited and feisty; a Queen demanding that her Tom prove he’s the strongest mate for her. However, I’m extremely bothered by how badly Lucy’s lying to herself and blaming everything that she does on Zeus. Free Will says we have a choice in everything, and even choosing to do nothing is still a choice. This book ends on a cliff-hanger – both literally and figuratively – and I very badly want to know what happens next.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
