challenging emotional reflective sad medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

This story was really well done. Not only did I feel Everleigh’s struggle to come out of her trauma and fear of Alpha’s and the ways and attempts Pack Ashe tried to help, but I was drawn into the story immediately and kept there throughout. Even the side characters had some good depth. Well done!

slow-paced

Eh... There was parts I liked and ones I didn't.

The sex scenes were so incredibly boring and not detailed.

Skipping over Everleigh

getting her bond marks from Pack Ashe

was the wrong move.

I know Resa will get a happy ending... So, I will not be continuing on with this author's books 🤷🏻‍♀️

Runaway Omega is the first in a series of interconnected standalone omegaverse novels. On the scale from Sweetverse to Darkverse (when it comes to the omegaverse light to dark scale), I would say it settles right in the middle at a 5 out of 10. The spice, on my spice scale, is a 2 out of 3 (there’s only one group scene that takes place during the heat and then most of the heat is skipped after that). There is no mm action, either (this is neither here nor there, it’s just worth mentioning for those who might be curious if this book has mm in addition to mf). The burn is slower than I’d like but not so slow as to be boring; plus, Ember Nicole has a real knack for writing strong sexual chemistry and tension that in no way involves the act of sex. That’s a talent not every author possesses and it more than makes up for the lack of actual action for a chunk of the book.

Not surprisingly, I wasn’t too drawn to our FMC, Everleigh, in this story. She’s simply just not the type of FMC I identify with or enjoy reading too much. However, I did absolutely love all three alphas in this story: Rune, Kylian, and Cian are all so uniquely them and they are delightful. The teasers for this book called them protective cinnamon rolls, but I didn’t see cinnamon rolls here, I just saw protective, conscientious, and then one of my favorite traits in some alphas: A willingness to destroy bad alphas. Some of my favorite omegaverse novels have always been the ones where bad alphas get their comeuppance.

The book is well-written and the plot is cohesive. It’s an enjoyable read, even if it’s not completely to my tastes. I loved Everleigh’s little sister, Della, to bits and pieces. She’s a hoot. The book does run a little longer than it needs to, I think, but it’s not so much that you’ll get bored.

Make sure you read the TW/CWs for this book before reading and take care of you.
