dark tense fast-paced

This is exactly what I wanted - very similar to Pack Darling. 
Content is DARK and I would say relationships so far are difficult to understand. I’m interested to see how it develops.

This was a darker and more challenging omegaverse.  Definite triggers and readers should read warnings ahead of time.  I listened to the audiobook which was narrated in duet with 3 narrators.  It wasn't my favorite narration combination, but I did enjoy the story.

OH MY GOD I LOVE JASPER HE’S SO CUTE AND IN LOVE WITH TALIA AND DEVON IS SUCH A GRUMPY BUTT I LOVE HIM 

Changed my 4 star to a 2 star as per below.

This felt like a lot of inspiration from Lola Rock's book Pack Darling. I've never read a book, and instantly, I thought, hmmmm why is this so familiar?"

It's a shame because I really did enjoy the book.

3.0

Not gonna lie, there were quite a few details of this book that read like a book I just finished a couple weeks ago. It was pretty distracting because that book is fresh in my mind. I decided to keep going though because I liked that other book well enough and I thought Talia was really bad*ss.

I did find the pack’s actions pretty unforgivable, especially at the end. But what I found most distracting is that there is a list at the beginning of the book of all the different combinations of alphas, betas, and omegas and the types of offspring they’ll have. The only way to have a beta child, according to this list, is for one of the parents to be a beta. Neither of Talia’s parents are betas. In fact, it was said that nowhere in her lineage were there any betas. So how was she allowed to register and live as one if it’s genetically impossible? I legit thought about this the entire book.
Spoiler It happened again in book 2 when an alpha was miraculously produced by a beta coupling when the list says that if there is at least one beta parent, the child will be beta.


Edit ——————————————
Dropped a star because I’m doing a re-read (I really enjoy Talia) and I can’t tell the difference between Trent, Kaleb, and Nathan’s POV. I shouldn’t limit to POV because I don’t know the difference between them at all.
