Captivate by E.J. Lawson

I love jumping into an omegaverse world, there is something about the idea of knots and alphas and just being claimed...total melt city...Lawson brought a new spin that I haven't read before and I loved the entire concept!
This omegaverse is losing their omegas to a deadly disease. So while there are laws that protect omegas, the laws don't necessarily keep them safe. You see, to most alphas, omegas are basically looked at as breeding vessels. A pack can obtain an omega, but it doesn't mean love is involved, and Riley, the omega in this book, does not believe in this unjust and unfair treatment. Same girl---same!! While there were moments I wanted to push her into submitting because I wanted the romance to happen, I also respected her strength and determination to stand up for what is right.
When the book begins Riley is living among betas, hiding her scent with blockers and suppressants, but one mistake changes her life forever and puts her in the care of the Woods' Pack, something she never wanted. However, with that pack; Miles, Levi, and Fox take an almost instant shining to her, and it's the head alpha of the pack, Thane, who doesn't approve. It's really no skin off her back if she has to leave, but there are extenuating circumstances that do not allow the five of them to break tides quite so easily and until a new solution is made Riley stays.
It was hard to pick who my favorite of the group was, as it kept flipping with each interaction. Basically, I loved how the pack worked cohesively which is why it made it hard to pick a standout. I would love to return to this world and see what else Lawson will cook up next.
