In all honesty, this book was a tough one to get through, but, I think the third act so to speak made the whole book a bit better. The first section was slightly interesting. Introducing our main character Riley and her men: Miles, Fox, Levi and Thane. At first, I thought it was going to be another story of an omega trying to hide her designation until her heat comes on suddenly and a pack conveniently swoops in to save her. This was slightly different because it’s revealed she has this omega specific disease that is fatal. Which makes it complicated with her to form bonds with the men. The second chunk of the book was where it lost me. It felt kind of insta-lusty especially with Miles and Fox. I also felt that Levi BARELY got any screen time in terms of bonding with Riley but all of a sudden he’s in love with her and on board with making her their omega. Thane took the longest to come around but there was one scene I felt came out of nowhere. The book started getting more interesting again when it came to her getting treated for this disease. It wasn’t one of those cases where it was like “omg there is this medicine and voilà you’re magically cured and can live happily ever after!” I liked that there was a lengthy process to the treatment and recovery and through that they bonded more as a family. It was very cute how much the men would take care of her throughout her sickness. Overall, it was an okay read. Oh! And my favorite guy was Thane even though he was so freaking stubborn and unnecessarily mean sometimes.
