Nicky and the Night Owls: Part One by Sierra Cassidy
4.0
Nicky and the Night Owls follows night librarian, Nicky. As a beta she has accepted her minimal dating life and embraces life as it us. Yet, an unlikely meeting comes to pass and we see Nicky embraced by a pack who have all the love to share. Toss in some political intrigue and angry exes and you get a wonderful Omegaverse story that makes you feel all the warm and fuzzies.
"God. That smile was dangerous. I was not remotely equipped to be around this level of beautiful."
This medium burn “why choose” romance falls within the Omegaverse, which means the designations of Alpha, Betas, and Omegas and all the entails. I appreciated that these designations were not the only labels on the characters who were developed in strong characters with wills of their own. This is also a multiple POV book so you get to experience how each member in the pack sees and feels about this growing relationship. The spice contains f/f, f/m, f/m/f, and more, with six people in this relationship so you are going to get a nice variety of spice. There is some control in the bedroom for certain characters but consent is key.
We also have a good amount of LGBTQ+ representation in this book and the care in the writing made them sweet and enjoyable to follow. You can see the characters all working together to navigate this relationship and while there are some hang-ups they didn’t frustrate me too much. Billie was my favourite character with their enthusiasm and role as the glue of the pack which I like as a rejig of the omega pack idea.
I did find the outer plot elements (ie the ex-boyfriend and the political part) needing a bit more fleshing out as I felt it was kind of left behind at points and then thrown out again. I feel the second part may explain this more as it kind up blew up towards the end.
Overall if you’re looking for a cosy Omegaverse with plenty of spice and a sweet storyline then this is a great option. It has the vibes of Lola but time will tell (ie. Part 2) if it can fully compete. You can complete this as a standalone but there is a bonus chapter for part two that adds a cliffhanger. I do have the next book saved on my TBR for when it releases as I am curious to see how this grows!
