Favourite Quote: "As far as being taken advantage of by Alphas went, forced moral conversations was working its way up my list of least favourite methods"
Although not my favourite book in the Sweetverse (that honour still belongs to Baby & the Late Night Howlers), I enjoyed this book. I loved Eve as an FMC, she was badass, able to look after herself, and a touch of morally grey. I enjoyed watching as she lined up her plans and set the pack in motion. I did also giggle at the Adam and Eve jokes. The fact that this wasn't crazily omega focused was nice, it meant the relationships throughout the pack developed and allowed Eve to have her own growth. Unfortunately, I felt sections of it were a bit repetitive, there was a lot of the same conversations and reactions for part of it that kind of meant all the action was shoved into a couple of chapters at the end. So overall an easy read but could have done with some cut down.
3.5 ⭐

Entertaining, but after the novelty of the relationship dynamic it lacks more depth to the story and worldbuilding.

Good book. But sadly, RH is just not for me.
I didn’t like the relationships. I don’t like Eve and I also don’t like that she is the reason most of the men chose to become a pack rather than bc of Adam who seems lovely
Kathryn Moon is in a league of her own. Let’s be real, romance is a genre that’s not exactly known for high quality literature- most of us are reading it for the relationships and the escapism. But Kathryn’s writing is so rich, so detailed, and so well organized that she really just knocks it out of the park every single time.
Bad Alpha is an incredible addition to the beloved Sweetverse. I love the portrayal of Eve and the character growth that we see throughout her story. The combination of aggression and vulnerability provides us with a new kind of FMC in this genre. The idea of a female Alpha in omegaverse is pretty rare, but it WORKS here. I think romance in general doesn’t usually focus on female dominance and at first I wasn’t really drawn to the idea, but I trusted Kathryn and she did not disappoint!
I felt that the pack members were balanced and each had a well-define role and place in the pack. Nobody felt extra or unnecessary. Stand-alone RH books often don’t have enough bandwidth for each character to really be developed, but I really felt that each of the main characters in this book got their own moments to be centerstage and nobody really got left behind.
The book is well-developed, engaging, and just an all around good read. I didn’t want to put it down. Even though it’s a standalone, we are left with a little cliffie at the end to keep us on the hook for the next book (with a different set of MCs).
