Complete Control by L.V. Lane
4.0
[a:L.V. Lane|19017663|L.V. Lane|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1600686465p2/19017663.jpg] definitely stepped up her game when writing Complete Control. Many of the things that I felt were missing in [b:Taking Control|56196389|Taking Control (The Controllers, #1)|L.V. Lane|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1607332319l/56196389._SY75_.jpg|69355116] were included here. I'm not taking any credit for that as the author had already written 8 books by the time I came to this series!
We had several chapters from Hudson's POV, allowing us to get a feel of his personality, and we got much more story too. The plot in Taking Control felt rather rushed and hurried, squashed into the last quarter, whereas it flowed throughout the entirety of this book. I felt more invested in these characters due to seeing them interacting in a variety of settings. Plus we got to see Anna at work as a healer, as well as experience more of the war and the role of the controller on more than a sexual level.
Anna seemingly never really spoke to anyone other than Hudson, and briefly to a recruiter, which is something I hope doesn't become a theme of the books. However a theme I do very much enjoy is that the omegas all seem to have a strong and determined personality, despite how much the alpha's in charge try to suppress them. They have sass in abundance along with an ability to snare their big, bad Alpha's hearts.
I'm looking forward to reading the follow up book but need to read Lilly, Ethan and Ryker's story first.
