Look, if you read books just for the spice and smut, then this is perfect for you
The spice scenes are hot hot
And the switch between FM /MM /FMM/ MFM/ MMFMM was a cold-shower worthy
However, personally, and even when I like spice in books, I love a good plot and characterization more
This had great start but unfortunately failed to follow through
The blurb of the book happens in the first three chapters and that's it
After that it's the three SSS
Sex, Spice, Smut
Wren was sold when she was 10 to a pedophilia alpha who sold her when she turned 20 but still was obsessed with her.
The three Alphas and their omega bought her on impulse (they were there looking for her in fact) and did not know who she is.
The same day, they treat her badly and allow her to go not knowing she's in her heat
They search for her for three days and then they grovel grovel grovel and sex sex sex
So here is my issue.
I did not feel there was a need for groveling
I did not see this as betrayal
They did not know her
There was no time for them to form any bond or connection
They were right to think they did not want her in their lives
I wished she stayed with them long and the betrayal would mean more because they were really batelling their feelings
Also, there was a really eery brushing off to "being raped"
Wren was raped daily for 10 years
That girl needed therapy urgent
Something her brother mentions
But the 3 Alphas believe that sex cures all
||spoiler||
Flynn also is raped at the end, and immediately he wants his alpha to fuck the memory out?????
This is unhealthy
There is something I liked though
The author has two completely opposite sides
She really knows how to write sweet gestures followed by hot sex
BUT
The goory gruesome torture scenes she wrote?! My God! She has a kick for cutting off penises
One last thing
I know this is an Omegaverse book
But using the word "knot" 96 times, same for "slick" and "perfume" 30 times is too much
The spice scenes are hot hot
