Continuing Lilly's story and I'm here for it! As much as I've come to like some of the other characters in this series Lilly is still my favorite.

Omegas are treated poorly in this universe, because of the warfare and poverty and everything else going on in this world, it’s not even the shittest deal in this fictional world. I guess that’s worth mentioning. This is a dark universe and you kind of have to desensitize to nonconsent (sexual, medical, drafted alpha soldiers, it goes on), constant rape threats, and humanoid experimentation.

It’s dark, but if you’re looking for that, this is a quick read that goes interesting places with the alpha/omega dynamic and light scifi atmosphere. This is a fun series. The books are loosely connected. You’d benefit from reading them all, but it’s not mandatory and you can pick out books that appeal to you while skipping others.

One of my favorite things about this series is the character growth and the complexity of the relationship between Lily, Ethan, and Ryker. The chemistry is always sizzling but the emotional bond is less secure. And just when I thought they were going to figure things out there's an unexpected twist. It creates not only a fabulous plot but an intense emotional connection to the characters and their story. That connection made this one a very emotional read. I couldn't put it down and I can't wait to see where the story goes next.

I think these three characters are one of my favourite things about this series. A new continued story from Lilian and I'm all set for the rest of the night! haha

L. V. Lane once again delivers in buckets! An absolutely fantastic addition to the series, and this time I felt the need to cry more than once, not necessarily because it's sad, but because there was just so much emotion this time.

Ryker my man...how he's GROWN! And by that, I don't mean his awesome sexy physique. ;) He has come heeps and bounds since the first introduction, and to see him caring and trying his best towards Lillian - and at the same time being his "annoying" self towards Ethan always brings out the laughter and smiles from me. I love the dude.

Ethan... I felt so sorry for him in parts of this book - because he found himself in more than one shitty position - and you just wanted to scream at the army; "GIVE THE MAN SOME SLACK!" haha.
He finds himself in what I thought was going to be an impossible position, but it turns out that I underestimated him quite a lot! And he surprised me!

Lillian...she's always been a very strong woman, and I've loved that about her. This time though, I feel we see more of her vulnerability. I don't wanna delve too far into that because it would be a spoiler - but she did pull my heartstrings more than once. One thing is for very sure though - the love she has for her Alphas is DEEP. And it's heartbreaking to read when she gets hurt. But she's an intelligent woman - even if a bit hormonal. ;)

Obviously, the small punishments delivered out throughout the book (spankings etc) are sexy to read - the book is (as always!) gonna make the sheets wet and you might need a fan... ;)

5 brilliant stars from me!

This book was given to me before publishing in exchange for an HONEST review. Sadly I fell ill shortly after that, and haven't been able to post this review until now. But here it is. :D

Great Series!

I feel like this book was a bit all over the place and rushed maybe. Like I thought there was going to still be a lot left but then it just ended. So I am guessing we will learn more about this in the next book. I am invested in the series now but this wasn’t one of the better books of the series.

Never disappointed

I love this controller series. Action and hot scenes. Strong women with men who meet their needs. I love watching the world grow and I'd really be okay if she kept writing!

Amazing!

I adore Ryker, Ethan and Lilly! I honestly hope they keep getting more and more books dedicated to them. I can never get enough of Ethan! Not only was this book HOT but the story was really good. I liked how it was from multiple different perspectives, including Larissa, the mind reading Omega that was introduced in the last Deviant book. I can’t wait for her book!
