exquisite_tragedy's review
3.0
Tropes/Themes:
-MMFMMM why choose romance
-Omegaverse
-Hate to love
-Fated mates
-Slow burn
-Surprisingly low steam (but does include MM, MF, and MMFMMM scenes)
-Multi POV
-Duet (book 1 has a cliffhanger)
CWs for physical assault, sexual assault/abuse (in conversation), kidnapping, trauma
Tropes and content warnings apply to duet as a whole.
Not gonna lie, I found this duet a little lacking but I can’t pinpoint exactly why. It didn’t do anything wrong, it just felt a little bland at times. The pacing was a little off throughout the duet. I found myself comparing it a lot to Kathryn Moon’s omegaverse books while I was reading it, which probably detracted from my enjoyment because those are some of my favorite omegaverse books of all time.
I was glad that we got a ton of groveling from the heroes in book #2 though. They really had to put in the work to earn the heroine’s trust back after the stunt they pulled at the end of book #1.
Story: 3/5
Audiobook: 5/5 (narrated by Kelsey Navarro & Troy Duran)
Length 12h0min

I was not convinced that the Wyvern pack were redeemable. I was proved wrong.
However, there are still questions left unanswered or glossed over which was disappointing.

They’re all fucking crazy.
Maybe I should have know from book 1 but at around 80% of the way through, I realised everyone is crazy.
Finn’s chest tattoo. Atlas’s scarecrow. Jett the midnight barber. Lilah’s shivs.
I think the only semi normal ones are Hunter and Orion.
It definitely starting feeling like crack towards the end of the book but in the best possible way.
So many hilarious moments and writing. I loved it, I can’t remember the last time I laughed so much reading a book. Absolutely unhinged.
Book 1 started with them being sort of paid hitmen, but they’re honestly just uncontrolled serial killers by the end of Book 2.
I honestly loved Atlas’s narrative the most - giving up leadership and passing it onto Hunter. It made an interesting character arc.
Probably the funniest ABO books I’ve read and I enjoyed them so so much lol

🌶️🌶️🌶️
This was an action packed omegaverse duet and I really enjoyed it. Not as cozy as others I’ve read but it didn’t need to be. Lilah was incredibly strong. And each time she was knocked down she got herself back up. She was independent and loving and needy when she let herself be. Atlas was a meathead but in the end with his obsession with learning and doing better became the exact alpha the omegas needed with this cooking and sweet omega knowledge. Finn was as obsessed in the beginning as he was in the end but he had a purpose and a guide and that was Lilah. She made all the darkness make sense. Hunter took charge of the pack and we asked his way into Lilah’s life as her fierce protector and friend. Jett had the most demons and trauma. He needed guiding force. Lilac had always been that for them it just took a while longer for them both to realize that he needed to be led. JJ was always lurking in the shadows but was not afraid to go psycho on any threat as long as he came back to her. Their pack is individually different than any I have read about before. With their being 2 omegas and a broken pack things feel different. These books focus much more on the drama than the typical crazy spice of many why choose romances. If you want an action packed story with a strong fmc, lots of groveling and personal growth and a dash of spice this is the duet for you!

This book was pure gold... almost 100% delicious grovel and alpha suffering.
Perfection.
Some of it was sad, Jetts story was really sad. I felt for him alot and was so glad he found some peace.
All the guys where so great.
Loved Lilah too she was strong and tough and independent and i do love that type of heroine.
Glad i own these books now because i will definitely be doing a reread.
The ONLY thing that would have made this book better is pregnancy and babies... maybe an extended epilogue one day
