4 stars.

Liked this on the same level as Lola. Liked that there was a female alpha involved and the whole mercenary aspect.

Shouldn’t have binged this though because the pay off didn’t feel as great as I would have wanted it to be, especially such a large book

ARC received from the Author

4,5, maybe?

This was the first ABO book I've read until the end and it really surprised me. I have a few problems with omegaverse as a concept and its tropes, mostly about the lack of consent that is build into many of the stories, but Kathryn's world addresses this in a GOOD way. It addresses the unfairness of the biologic existentialism that's built into the omegaverse concept and it manages to take the interesting parts (packs, bonds, etc) while exploring the ways the bad parts (the inevitability of alpha-omega connections, the violence and toxic masculinity attributed to Alphas, etc) can lead to oppression.

I really love all the dynamics here and the character arcs. It was refreshing to have a female alpha as one of the main characters, and the way Eve learned how to trust, how to accept help, how she learned that she didn't need to be strong alone was amazing. I also loved how absolutely *all* men of her pack are submissive and breedable, even the more "aggressive" ones (I'd argue that he's the most submissive and breedable of ALL, but I digress) and the Female Alpha/Male Omega dynamics was really interesting (I love how both Adam and Eve are sort of bad at their roles, they're a really good match).

Kathryn is really good at developing their intimacy and building the pack in a way that, by the end, it's believable that this group of people care for each other in a feral, protective way. It was a really great read and made me curious to read all the other Sweetverse books to see the different ways that she handles the omegaverse.

Ah, there's a detail that I think people should know: don't go into this expecting the whole book to be as action packed as the beginning. After 30% or so, everything takes a more domestic turn and it's focused on the character development of the pack as a whole, the plot of Omikrom and the Omega Traffic taking a backseat. There's some resolution to this, but there's opening to another book. While I love this structure, I'm aware that there are people that may not like it or be disappointed by it, so dive into this book with this knowledge in mind.

All in all, it was a great, fun, sexy read that left me wanting more.

Bad Ass Alpha

Another incredible story by Kathryn Moon! I absolutely love this author’s writing! Adam and Eve are sneaky and mysterious and absolute chaos for the other 3 alphas! I did not expect for the omega to be a male and have this bad ass killer alpha female but Eve is literally a wrecking ball everyone needs in their life. She doesn’t listen to no one and won’t back down from anything! I honestly did not expect the ending it gave but it was really good and I cannot wait for the next omegaverse book!

Seeing as Lola and the Millionaires is my happy go-to read, I knew I'd love this one as well.
And I did. 100%
Kathryn Moon can do no wrong as every single one of her books are just chefs kiss, perfection.

I can't wait for the next one as I'm not ready to let Omegaverse go <3

This was really good! It was cinema! (or at least the book equivalent of cinema) I love Eve so much! She really is a badass alpha. You can see how much she wanted to remain apathetic to everyone and their emotions, but slowly opened herself up to the feelings. Ugh! this was too good. I’m so ready to start Faith’s story!

This one I liked less because of the amount of fight scenes. I want romance not fighting.

This series feel formulaic which I do not like. I saw it since book 2.

Kathryn Moon did the damn thing, again! How she continues to draw us in and make us obsess over characters is just outrageous, but we love it so please don't ever stop.

First things first, Adam & Eve - lol had ourselves a nice chuckle over that one.

Bad Alpha is the ultimate tale of opposites attract. Eve is this badass hitwoman alpha, and Adam is this little conman omega going through his first heat without a pack.
Eve is so brazen and unapologetic in her personality. What you see is what you get, and don't you dare try to expect anything more. She is blunt and gives it to you straight up. Also, her SCENT! We felt like it was the perfect description of how she would smell.

I think our favorite thing about characters that Kathryn writes is the sexual fluidity. We love the openness of the sweetverse, it is *chefs kiss*

"You feel like a thunderstorm coming. I just want to stand out in the field, wait for lightning to strike, make me electric for that moment too."

10/10 would recommend, can not wait to read again!

the best!

Baby Eve and Rory! Wheeewwwww! That was a moment! The whole pack was everything and more! Baby the con Adam ran on my girl eve was smart lmaooo. Tied my girl with the QUICKNESS! I loved that she let Jaime be the one to bite her back! I felt he was the calmest out of everyone! This whole book was awesome and i loved it. Can’t wait to read about faith! Ugh this world hasn’t disappointed me yet!

Idk maybe my feminism needs to be checked because something about Eve not submitting and being the Alpha of the pack didn’t sit right with me lmao.

But anyway I LOVED the writing, the story and the boys of course. This was so hot.

4.5 stars, love Eve
