Holy shit. Holy shit!! The Night Movers was so good! It’s kind of like The Handmaid’s Tale and a darker version of Fast & Furious had a baby and this queer, dystopian, omegaverse, dark polyamorous romance was the result. I’ll admit, I went into this book with some reservations. But ended up loving this way more than I thought I would! The dystopian aspects of the story fit so well with the omegaverse ones that it was hard to put the book down at times.

Ridley and his pack of alpha’s (and later on, Rain) were all so different and yet they worked so well together. I loved their clash of personalities and power dynamics. I also loved that Ridley was so complex. At different points he was so confident and sassy and willing to put people in their place regardless of their secondary genders/social status, and at others he was spiraling with anxiety and frustration and anger at his situation. I also loved that his alpha’s were all down bad (reluctantly or otherwise) from the moment they brought Ridley into the pack. I can’t wait to see how they decide to burn the world down in the next season. The Night Movers season one is getting five stars!
