Leigh never wanted an Alpha. Peter never wanted to dominate a woman the way his father dominated his mother, but he is an Alpha and he is unable to change his nature. When these two come together there is no way they can resist, they can't change their natures. This story is hot. There is mystery, murder and politics but at the heart of this story is an Alpha

Alpha is definitely one of my favourite Omegaverse books.
Originally released as three novellas, this book is the compiled version of Nora's previously published Omegaverse serial, Alpha. It contains the instalments Alpha: Taken, Alpha: Masquerade, & Alpha: Mated.
This was my introduction to Omegaverse way back then, and I absolutely loved them.
When I heard that trilogy was being re-released as one big book I was ecstatic!
The story takes place in Mattenburg, which is a city where the population has a lot of "rules" for Alphas and Omegas. It's not the common dystopian setting we are used to and the citizens of this city even talk about how they are more civilized than other places, how they have conquered their instincts etc.
It's a very interesting idea!
Alpha starts our reporter Omega, Leigh and our Alpha, Peter who is a politician.
We set off with a BANG and Peter sets off Leigh's hormones, which she's very much in denial about because she's slightly prejudiced about Alphas and what it means to be an Alpha's mate. Hehe.
The book is super hot and Peter and Leigh are wonderful together.
One of the things I really liked about this world is that females aren't really called "Omegas", they are just women, but they are still Omegas and have the same responses to the Alphas etc. But I liked that they weren't labelled, that was a bit different than what I normally read. :)
This was 5 superstars from me! And I can't wait to read more of this world! :D

This one was wild and quick. The perfect palette cleanser between thick fantasy books. The writing wasn't the best but the spice popping. There isn't a strong plot but I wasn't expecting a deep heart-felt story.
Did I like the story? Meh.
Did I enjoy the spice? Uh huhhh, absolutely.
Is this worth reading?
It was great but I'm so glad I didn't purchase it. Considering it's not on KU, there are others that are comparable on KU for free. I'm also not sure I'm interested enough to continue on with the next story (different characters in the same world).

This was not a typical omegaverse, this was just one alpha and one omega. The story line was heavily on the politics of alpha behavior, but the thing I found lacking, and if this had been my first omegaverse, there was no explanation of anything. The spice was next level excellent though. I’ll give it that.
