Ok, so the plot in a spoiler-free nutshell would be; 
a girl and her younger sister grow up in the shifter realm as servants of a tyrannical beta at his tavern. (99% of the population are normal, the rest are ABOs = special) After she turns 20 years old she gets kidnapped and trained with ABOs for war against fae. 

This book reminds me a bit of the acotar series; however, in this book it's shifters against fae and there are alphas, betas and omegas (and I felt like the style of writing was less complex/easier) . So if you liked acotar you'll maybe also like this one. 

I personally think that the world building could have been better and sometimes the actions of the characters weren't quite understandable. 
 
For example: 
The MC grows up with a man who hurts her every day & her only family is her younger sister who she wants to protect from him (for basically her whole life) . And then, after being kidnapped, she's thinking about the other alphas more often than about her? That somehow made her sister seem unimportant. (I already forgot her name)
 

And some things were repeated very often, like how small & fragile she is or the scent of the alphas, etc. It became a bit annoying after some time. 

Overall, it was a quick read but nothing special. Also, please read the content warnings before you read it if you've never read anything similar.

Okay, like dark romance I guess. If you can even call it that. 
girlie got kidnapped and instantly just kinda accepts it for now also highkey toxic
 
Like if you're searching for a omegaverse book with a pretty cocky female lead and relations with high key mixed messages, this is for you. 

I personally got it recommended as a enemies to lovers book which I don't entirely see. 
In conclusion, it wasn't the worst I read, not the best either, but it did manage to captivate me, considering I inhaled in like 2 days :D. 
I'm off to read the second one now.

This book was just okay; it wasn’t anything special, but wasn’t terrible either. The writing’s okay though sometimes the dialogue made me cringe a bit: “Nothing special, slightly lower than average. It’s your regular, run-of-the-mill ABO fantasy book but with some fun MM and a set up for reverse harem/MMMF. 

Sadie‘s “not like other girls” she’s 
apparently the first female alpha in history
,  she dissociates and turns into a badass bc of a homicidal voice that she heard (calls it the numb), is absolutely tiny, and of course is beautiful despite the scars covering every inch of her body for whatever reason. The writing isn’t the best, but I am curious about what happens next in the story so i’ll keep reading the next in the series.

This book had me hooked from the first to the last page. 
the last two chapters came by surprise. I was so happy some of the things I was rooting for finally happend. But then Asher turned out to be a dick and fucked everyone over. I couldn't believe what I was reading. Had to tell everyone how upset I was 

I already downloaded the next book and cannot wait for the adventure to continue since the first book ended on a big cliff hanger
