magikspells's review against another edition

I will say that I liked the overall idea of this book, but I didn't enjoy the relationship that much. I don't really buy the chemistry between Tank and Isaac. Plus the whole idea that omega was in the title eliminated a lot of the mystery about Isaac.
Again, I really like the characters and the pack, but I wish I knew more about this world overall. I thought I read somewhere that this was a future that takes place in the same universe as Carriger's other books, but so much is different. And there's all these mentions of the Saturation and I don't know anything about that.

"Tank tugged him a bit, getting him closer, needing him closer. He kept hold of Isaac's hand while he bracketed Isaac's face with his free one. His skin was butter soft."
Eeeeeeeee! This was just too perfect, too sweet, to wonderful. Featuring Tank, a werewolf we have seen before in the earlier books, and a new guy, Isaac, also a werewolf (but not out of the werewolf closet as I would call it). These two will get together and melt your heart away with cute moments, sweet scenes. But that isn't the only thing that you will see in this book. We will also learn of Isaac's terrible past, why he has no smell, why everyone is attracted to him, Tank's self-image and how terrible that is, we see the pack again, we meet with new characters.
I was delighted that Gail Carriger is continuing with writing books about this wonderful pack. We already read about Alec, about Bryan, and now it is Tank. And, going by the last part in the book, next up is Judd and Colin!
Like the previous book(s) there are sex scenes. While I was less comfortable with the last book, I am a bit more comfortable with them now. A bit. :P There were things that just didn't make me happy and that mostly had to do with how Isaac dominated everything and Tank just lay there waiting commands. It just felt so so wrong. I get that everyone has different ways of sex, but it just made me uncomfortable.
My heart broke for Isaac. I knew quite soon what he was, it just wasn't that hard given certain things. Still I wished for someone to help him out, and fast. We learn his past is gruesome, with how shifters are attracted to him, want to be with him, it didn't work out with other packs. Plus, his father was an asshole. I was so happy that he found Tank, that he found someone to love, someone who doesn't go bonkers because of what he is/what he emits. And with Tank that he found a family. People who will grow to love him, people who care for him.
Tank was a wonderful character, though I felt sorry that his self-image was so terrible. He kept thinking he wasn't worth anything, that he wasn't important. Though I am not Tank, not a big lumbering werewolf, I could understand those feelings. And I was hoping that Isaac could help him with his self-image, help him see that he was an important part of the pack, that he was worth it.
I did love how protective he was of Isaac, how much he tried to do for him to make him happy. How he tried to protect him when stuff went wrong, how he tried to listen to him, give him time to adjust to all the things happening, making sure Isaac felt happier.
There are also funny moments, I got quite a few quotes saved now that made me laugh so hard.
Also I am just delighted that we also see the rest of the pack.
We also meet several new characters, Xavier and his girlfriend for instance. I just loved those two and how they cared about Isaac. Then there is Clara, Isaac's best friend, she was just so sweet (and I loved how she acted when she saw a gorgeous man).
Then there was the ending and all that happened there. Oh boy! I just had to know if everything would end up all right, if everyone would get their happy endings.
I could probably talk about this book for a long time to come, but I will just keep it at this. I don't want the review to get too long. I will just give one more squeal in how sweet and fun this book was and how lovely Tank x Isaac were together. I would highly recommend this book to everyone, and I just need the newest book now! <3

I love this series for exactly what it is. This lacked some of the magic of the first San Andreas stories and some of the criticisms I’ve seen in the reviews are absolutely valid. I think I just cared less because it was exactly the steamy brain candy I was looking for. Looking forward to the next book, as always.

A delicious story for someone growing up on Wattpad werewolf books. Quickly becoming one of my favourite book series of all time. I particularly love seeing our big cast of characters grow.

I didn’t think I could love Isaac and Tank just as much as I loved Max and Bryan, but I did.
It was dark, had well played out dom/sub roles, and of course wolves and magic!

*Thank you to the author for the advanced copy, all opinions are my own*
*Content/Trigger warnings: M/M, sexual themes, mild themes of dominance and submission*
This is the second book in the San Andreas Shifters series and I'm loving this adorable, quirky, queer pack of werewolves that now live in the San Fransisco Bay area. In this is book, we get to learn a little bit more about Tank, one of the "grunts" of the Shifters pack, a bisexual man who would love to just have someone to love and protect. We also learn a little more about werewolf lore and the placement and rank in packs as we learn more about Isaac, a man who is on the run both from his past and from someone.
Tank is working as a bouncer at a new club that has shifter-mingle night, due to the fact that more and more shifters are coming to this particular club. Isaac is our resident bartender/pseudo-psychologist, working to make the problems of San Fransisco's shifters less. When Tank and Isaac meet, something sparks between them and Isaac starts to worry. He is odorless and meeting a werewolf pack in Frisco was not in his plans. As he struggles to figure out what to do, Tank does what he can to show Isaac that not all werewolves are the same.
The more time these two spend together, the more Isaac's past seems to rush towards him and he decides that loving Tank is not worth what troubles it will bring. Tank is able to prove him wrong though, and with his pack, Tank is able to show Isaac that there is more than meets the eye to him and his family.
I love the characterization of this particular book because it's about listening; not only to who you are, but who your partner is as well. It's about finding your boundaries in a relationship and staying within those boundaries. It's about knowing when to run and when to stay, and it's about showing that you are able to listen to when someone says "no" and being able to stop. It's also about knowing that you have a place in your family or friends, else they wouldn't love you as much as they do, and knowing that your place is important.
Tank and Isaac help each other figure all of these out. Tank shows Isaac that he and his pack can listen and not sway opinion and are willing to let Isaac leave if that is what he wants. Isaac shows Tank that there is more to him than just being a "grunt" and that he is the foundation of the pack. They both help each see each other for what they truly are and what it means to be family.
I love it when books are able to do this and especially love it G.L. Carriger does it, because they do it in such a way as to open your eyes to all forms of love and acceptance. The way our world is becoming we need more books and characters that not only look different than us but love and act differently than us.
