3⭐️ 4🌶️
MOOD: tense, hopeful, funny, dark-ish
TROPES: age page, forbidden love, damsel in distress, why choose
FAV QUOTE: “Watch it, little girl—” “Or what? You’ll spank me?” “Don’t tempt me.”
In general, I wished I liked this more than I did because there were parts I LOVED but an almost equal number of parts I hated.
THE GOOD: The characters are enjoyable. Pack is essentially Omega, Beta, and 4 Alphas and everyone has their own personalities and relationships. Those relationships grow over the course of the book and there's a subplot revolving the Omega's past. Spicy scenes are top-tier.
THE NEUTRAL: I'm a little over the Omega-denying-their-Omeganess plot line and Betas that "there's no way that guy is a Beta." The back and forth between Reese (FMC/omega) and Max/Captain (Alpha Daddy) gets old quick. Also, Reese literally says, "If you’re looking to play knights in shining armor, I’m not your girl. Find another Omega who can be your damsel in distress.” but then does kind of need to be saved. I guess I was hoping for more of a Baby or Queenie situation towards the end (Baby and the Late Night Howlers, Queenie and the Krakens).
THE MEH: Overall, this book gave off very different vibes than the previous two in the series, which I found jarring. I have read other Sinclair Kelly books like Saint Nick & Rouge - which I loved, so I'm not sure why it felt disjointed in this world.
CW: sexual assault and violence (in the prologue too)
