Another solid sweeter OV story from Ryans, this one follows Lena, a young Omega being used by her father to further his career by promising her to his boss' Alpha son of roughly the same age. Another Alpha notices her at the same time, decides she's definitely his, and sets plans into motion to claim her from under all their noses when they try to skirt the Omega Market procedures when she comes of age.
TW/CW: implied abusive parent, stalking and spying on a minor, drugging, and kidnapping
Sort of in the middle of the first and second book of this series in terms of sweetness and darkness, we finally visit an Omega Center on an alien planet rather than Earth. And, y'all, there seem to be some really big issues with how these centers are run. If the Earth center hasn't convinced you that something is rotten in thy system, this one is worse in different ways. Where exactly are all of the profits from selling these Omegas going?
I've now read enough of Ryans' work to feel comfortable saying that characterization seems to be a weak point in her writing—though het OV is more an erotic horror genre than actual romance, so character personalities really aren't the thing being focused on, generic is fine there—because, once again, she wrote a pretty solid story, but I still couldn't tell you much of anything about the Alpha main, and even less about the Omega main.
I've started to think of her Omega characters more as the same Omega, but different things happened to her and her circumstances growing up differed. Her Omegas are Nice™. She has no real control over her life except very minor details. Her reluctance to being mated varies a bit from story to story, but in terms of actual personality, she's pretty blank. She likes to take care of others. She is Omega.
