2.0

This book was really hard to get into. There was just so much build up, it felt like we were getting all the backstory and context and somehow it just kind of fizzled. This was also the 3rd book I read in the High Roller Omegaverse series. I absolutely loved the first two I read but for whatever reason, whether it be the characters or the writing I just couldn’t connect with it. There were also some omegaverse specifics that weren’t in line with the other two books I read. I understand that these are loosely interconnected standalones, but it’s hard to stay in this alternate reality with one book that swerves away from the previously established “rules” of the created universe. This won't stop me from finishing the series.
