Bad Alpha

Kathryn Moon

4.04 AVERAGE


It was extremely long but so enjoyable! Kathryn Moon has a gift of making her characters so lifelike and detailed and nuanced.
I love Eve and how tough she is and her development to loving.

Decently written and I liked that the typical roles were flipped with Eve being the main alpha in this story, but overall I didn’t feel the characters were as well developed or individual as in Lola’s story. Adam was a bit annoying and didn’t have much too him, Garret was nice but again not much background or development to him or Rory, Jamie was the only one I warmed towards properly.

The narrator who played Adam & Garett (Julio Maxwell) (imo!) sounded like he was better suited for reading poems or prose. He had a sensual lilt and I  found their narration style ill suited for the characters. 
Besides that it’s still another banger in KMs Sweetverse. More action than Baby’s & Lola’s books & I like that.

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!

Interesting to see the alpha male trope reversed with an alpha female this time. Eve is aggressive, dominant, sexual, competent and emotionally distant. She did a lot of stuff that's considered dubcon at best noncon at worst, similar to most alpha male romances. I enjoyed this as fiction but really have to suspend my usual beliefs etc.

Eve’s story

I wasn’t really sure what to expect in Bad Alpha, but I think I expected more…. Sweet?

You first meet Eve as a character in Lola’s story, and while she is intriguing, I was not as connected to her as Baby of Lola even. It is a completely different type of story in a way.

Eve is a female Alpha. A rough around the edges, take no prisoners, bad a$$ character. But, for me, it just went to far outside of what I think I was hoping for.

Kathryns writing style was very good, told In multiple POV from the whole pack, and there are some elements that I did like. Lots of action, some good character growth and great banter. Wanted to love it, but it was a 3 star for me.

not my cup of tea

This was a great read. Would’ve been five stars but there were times where it felt like it was dragging too much.
