In a world where bad choices can lead you to a fate worse than death, be smart and sign on the dotted line.
I’m hanging by a thread, with the fate of my sisters in my hands. As a late blooming Omega in a poor neighbourhood drowning in crime, I’m desperate to hide my designation secret. I do the only thing I can, and approach the three craziest alphas I can find, the only ones I would entrust my body, my family and my life to. I take the biggest leap of faith. It's all or nothing. Darion, Sebastian and Lukas are on the way up and out of our neighbourhood. They’re my past and my present. But the more time I spend with them, the more I long for them to become my future.
Missy Clark is not the omega my pack needs. We’re so close to getting our revenge. She is nothing but a distraction. But, this omega, she comes in like a wildfire, lighting our world with flames and leaving smouldering ashes behind her. We’re left with the ruins of her chaos, and as I turn in this unfamiliar landscape, I don’t recognise myself, my pack or my life. We might have signed on the dotted line, but maybe we can make a new contract and sign it with forever.
This book is a why choose novel, meaning our female main character will end up with three or more partners. There is also MM content. Please read the trigger warnings inside the book.
Missy is a late blooming Omega. Her entire family are Betas so when she presented as an Omega it was a shock. She, and her family live in the worst part of the city and are very poor…a lot to do with her lazy, morally corrupt indifferent father, and her prostitute mother who sells drugs on the side. Her oldest sister Trinity went missing years ago (presumably sold to trafficker) and once she returned home she was NEVER THE SAME!
**SPOILERS**
Missy is beyond desperate! She has two evil heinous packs nipping at her heels, but pack Samuels is desperately insisting and trying to claim Missy as their Omega to abuse and breed. She’s horrified and her younger sisters have been threatened, so she knows only one place to turn to - Pack Raptor, composed of 3 Alphas named Dorian, Lucas, and Seb. These are powerful wealthy Alphas who had grown up in the dump neighborhood she did, and had even spent time with her sister Trinity. Missy had always had a crush on Dorian, but he barely ever paid her any attention. As the years went by she followed their incredible rise through the influential ranks, first leaving the “ghetto” they all lived in, and then “remaking” themselves into successful business men
Missy approaches Dorian, the de facto leader of the three Alphas and pretty much begs him to give her a chance…she’ll play as if she’s their “perfect Omega” keeping all the simpering women off of them, if they help to protect her family. Initially Dorian doesn’t agree…but feeling guilt over what happened to Trinity, Missy’s sister (who had been missing for years and physically and emotionally abused) he eventually agrees as long as both parties sign a contract that states some iron clad rules as well as an expiration date on their charade.
So Missy signs the contract, moves into the Alphas luxurious place, and they even move her family to a very nice house, which her nasty ungrateful parents don’t even thank Missy…and still try to MILK the situation telling her to get them MORE! They’re despicable human beings!!
As Missy comes to terms with living with the three Alphas (who are also all lovers) she finds herself increasingly drawn to, magnetized by all 3 of them. Lucas is the most flirtatious, but she’s able to match him wit by wit. Seb is the dark, dangerous one that everyone fears…EXCEPT for Missy who really likes his sharp edges and broody personality! She finds his presence makes her feel protected. Damian, he’s a tough one. He spends A LOT OF THE BOOK being mean or indifferent toward Missy, and hurting and humiliating her by flirting with other women even though they’ve told everyone that she’s THEIR OMEGA, to even being helpful and flirtatious with Missy’s messed up sister, Trinity. It leaves Missy feeling very hurt, humiliated and confused. But she doesn’t let his sourness ruin her, she grows closer to Lucas and Seb and eventually she BONDS with the sweet (most often time lover to Dorian) in a steamy scene where they have sex, knot, and exchange claiming bite marks.
From there on it changes a bit. Seb no longer holds back his feelings for Missy now that she’s bonded Lucas, and wants the same, he’s fallen in love with her sweetness, selflessness, integrity and her rare ability to REALLY SEE WHO HE IS INSIDE WITHOUT FEAR OR JUDGMENT!!! What holds him back is his loyalty to Dorian and Dorian’s insistence that she IS NOT their Omega, just a fake contracted one. And that (no matter what he feels for her) he has no intention of bringing an Omega into the pack and ruin the dynamic he has with Lucas and Seb, not just the physical dynamic either.
Missy learns after awhile that one of the main reasons Dorian is so closed off and driven is because he grew up in her poor neighborhood and was kidnapped, abused physically and emotionally and while he was a captive met the guys he learned to love (all suffering similar treatment, Seb and Lucas). Once they were free the spent the next decade finding and putting together as much evidence as they could on the heinous human traffickers who were stealing KIDS off the street, keeping some as their sexual play toys, and selling/auctioning the rest to rich scumbags who would truly BREAK THEM DOWN and kill their spirit! Dorian is pissed because he’s sooo close to ending the trafficking operation and stopping the heinous kidnapping and torturous acts…but then this stubborn, feisty, beautiful, won’t take no for an answer, Omega busts into his life and his pack mates lives and turns his world upside down.
**OPINIONS/THOUGHTS** just my opinions, remember…you have every right to disagree with me, lol. But I write these reviews with the hopes they give you more information on the books (to help you decide to read or not to read). Even the “bad reviews” I write aren’t with any intention of “bashing” the author…again they are compiled with my opinions and thought. With that in mind, I do hope you enjoy my reviews, and if they help…EVEN BETTER ☺️
So I enjoyed this book, I gave it 3 stars instead of 4 or 5 for a few reasons. As much as I enjoyed Missy’s character her feistiness and spunky attitude which isn’t usually the case with Omegas, especially high society ones…I thought at times she really let things go that she shouldn’t have. Like the dimmer where Dorian completely and utterly humiliated her and was ALL OVER the nasty Mayors daughter in FRONT OF MISSY - even going so far as to push Missy away and let the other girl lean, touch, hug and snuggle him…well that was just awful seriously awful. And his explanation to Missy was just lame (felt like a complete ex use to me) heck he didn’t even FEEL BAD ABOUT HIS ACTIONS, just mildly irritated that his lovers Lucas and Sen were upset with him. Nooooo…Missy should’ve given him complete H-E-L-L!!!! And Dorian should’ve groveled like H-E-L-L as well! I didn’t like for how long Dorian spent being an emotional robot with no empathy and capability to feel love, shame, guilt etc.!!!
The sinister trafficking plot (considering it took the pack 10 years to track and get evidence) was actually a real let down. It’s ALSO WAAAAAAY to predictable!! By the time they key players of the trafficking ring are found, and subdued, we like already know who the evil men in charge are, and their equally evil clients…especially the pack that obsessed with getting Missy as their omega. The whole “dramatic conclusion” isn’t terribly dramatic. And although it has a few twist, it’s otherwise easy to figure out what’s to come and how the book is going to conclude. IN ADDITION THERE IS NO NO NO WAY I’D HAVE LEFT MISSY’S PSRENTS alive, breathing or at least beaten the heck over their treatment of their daughter ESPECIALLY since Missy DID EVERYTHING, heck she was raising her sisters AND PROVIFING FOR/taking care of her two seriously rotten parental units. Also, the epilogue was just kinda….mehhh. Missy married her Pack goes on her honeymoon. We get ONE MEASLY LINE ABOUT HOW TRINITY NOW LOOKS GOOD/ and that Missy clearly forgave her. And the corruption/conspiracies, and general classicism was neatly tied up in like less than one whole page! The book had been detailed, and then just didn’t conclude…well, and made the details seem irrelevant.
In conclusion, if you have free time, maybe on vacation give this book a chance. Otherwise it’s not really one of the ABO stories that are so good you want to purchase it. IMO. Happy reading!
I don't know if I'm gonna read this. I'm skeptical about if it's worth it, but can I just say....what the fuck happened to her head and neck on the cover?!
Her head is not attached! They photoshopped it in the wrong spot. It reminds me of that movie It Becomes Her where the woman's head spins around backwards lol.
Idk if it’s ME but I’m so confused. Not that the plot is but the writing. It felt very very choppy and no matter how many times I went back and reread the last section I was still confused! Character personalities were very odd to me as well. Darion is trying to be cold and indifferent but changes his mood on a dime. He was so concerned about his past crush Trin (Missy’s older sister) and in the next chapter he doesn’t care about her anymore???? Lukas was all over the place, but, I guess he is the “wild” one of the group? The scene of him just climbing up a tree in the mall was like “WHAT’S GOING ON?!” Still on the hunt for a good RH omegaverse but this wasn’t it for me.

I ended up reading this book 3rd, if no other reason than I just came across #3 first and wanted to read it and have been going back and reading the rest of the series ever since! This book surrounds the FMC who is a late bloomer omega and is just trying to help her sisters. Her older sister disappear a long time ago and had recently resurfaced, clearly having faced some trauma. Her parents have squandered all their money and they are currently living in the rough section of the city - which is not a good place for a unclaimed omega. The FMC approaches the MMCs, which are three of them with a proposal - pretend to be a pack, to get other omegas away from them, in exchange they would help protect the FMC's sisters. The MMCs end up taking this deal, and they agree to a contract.
Overall, this was pretty fun! A lot of sweet moments, between the MMCs and the FMC. We also get introduced to the next book's FMC in this one. I enjoyed it and have enjoyed the series as a whole!
Missy needed to help her family and making a temporary contract with Pack Raptore was going to do the trick - but she didn’t know what she was getting herself into with Lukas, Seb and Darion.
I loved this debut novel. The characters were great and caught my interest quickly, the story flowed well and was really interesting. The smexy times were seriously good too.
Happy dance. I binge read the series. A whole five RH books and a novella. I read Onyx's story first and then went back after realising it was a series. I'm between 3.5 and 4 stars on this one. Missy was headstrong and only thought about protecting her siblings. Shitty parents and stubborn alphas. Lukas was fun, Darion was stubborn and Sebastian was in the middle. Third act break up was in there with the guys being vicious. Bad guy for this one, sex trafficking ring auction. Never enough groveling in these. Nice little epilogue and glimpse of Scarlet's story.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
No reason to explain why Darion hates her so much. No reason to explain why Lukas and Seb like her so much. There's no relationship development. No interactions to show growth of feelings. Lots of telling instead of showing.
I hate it when I read books just for them to waste my time. I'm saying that because the book was doing good, but then it started progressing too fast with one of the MMCs. He was the hold out, and it should've taken more for him to accept a relationship with the FMC honestly. But the biggest thing that irritated me was the argument between the guys and the omega at about the 75% mark of the book. She's being a b**** about going with them on their mission when she has literally ZERO training. Then goes on to say how they're only saying no because she's their omega. She's lucky one said yes enough to allow her OK surveillance. She has absolutely NO training in the field and doesn't even know what she's doing. Like AT ALL. But yeah sure, get mad at them and guilt trip them and have other people coming to your defense. 😑 Just for that I would've been like fine come on then, if you die you die. 😂 But like seriously, it irritated me so much. Then Oma comes in talking about compromises and apologizing. There was already a compromise. She could go, but stay on surveillance. And NO apologies should have been given from the guys. It's stupid. They did nothing wrong. SHE should be the one apologizing. They wouldn't let an untrained employee go with them, hell not even an untrained stranger. They wouldn't let ANYONE put themselves in that danger with no training or full understanding of what's going on, so why would they agree to let their omega do it? She has no experience in anything like that. It's ridiculous. It ruined anything I liked about the book up until that point. Because that right there? Shows traits of a totally selfish person. She didn't care who she hurt as long as she got what she wanted. Hurting then emotionally with the argument then the possibility to die and hurt the that way. All because you want to be stupid and go on a mission that is literally life or death with NO TRAINING. It's dumb for her to be like, "well they're going so I'm going," that's not how life works.
Anyways, I no longer like her. Like at all, so the book was a DNF for me. How am I supposed to finish the book if I can literally care less if the selfish b**** dies? Maybe she "redeems" herself later, but I doubt it would be enough to make me care. It would just be empty words and platitudes. Either that or she probably only says they were right when she ends up almost dead or kidnapped or something. Again, I didn't finish the book, so if one of those things ends up happening it's not a spoiler, just the only way I can see her fully apologizing for her actions. It's not worth finishing the read just for that honestly.
Adding on to say that I understand conflict within the harem makes an RH seem to have more substance, but that's not what this was. If anything the way she came at it makes me feel as if she doesn't deserve the guys. But I know they won't drop her for someone else, so there's no point in finishing.
3⭐s for the story before that point. That argument definitely was worthy of removing 2⭐s from my review.

unfortunately, i liked this one a lot less than the other one i read. but i think that shows the author's progress in their writing. this one felt a little messier, had more grammatical and syntax problems, and just felt a little less polished or fully composed.
and personally i had more issues with the characterization in this one. darion comes across terribly for most of the book, and despite the fact that he's mysterious and passionate, there's a sense of frustration that is really grating when it comes to his character. it felt like it really needed to lean into the whole enemies-to-lovers thing that is hinted at, or they need to get rid of the animosity altogether. i understand that it's supposed to be related to their pasts, their difficulty forming lasting intimate connections, their ability to communicate in a meaningful and effective way. i get it, i really do. but it really just makes him seem incredibly stunted and unaware of his choices or consequences of his actions.
by the end, he becomes more likable, but that feels problematic in its own right. if you're writing a character that truly has a lot of difficulty understanding exactly how other people receive his actions, that should be something that's explored through the narrative over time. but in this book, it really feels like eventually someone says "hey, look at how your actions come across" and he goes "OOOOOOOHHHH, i get it!" and never has a problem with it again, which is simply not how that works. either he understands or he doesn't, and if he's established as not understanding, then you need to really support that development over the course of the rest of the book, not turn it on and off like a light switch.
my other pet peeve is missy's "i need to come help you" thing, which always drives me nuts. although i did like darion and sebastian's reactions to that, by telling her that she's not trained for this and that they would never ever let an untrained operative assist with their mission. i wish more books like this would have that interaction, because it drives me nuts when characters with no training or information are somehow convinced that they are suddenly ready to take on some sort of threat that they don't understand.
these men have been working on this for a decade. she has known about it for ten minutes. how dare she denigrate the work they've done by just assuming she can do it without putting any of that work or research into it.
Sobre a série KD autor faz o seu próprio mundo nesse existem muito ricos e existem e mostra muito o mundo miserável com betas e ômegas muito pobres, mostra uma guerra de classes onde com níveis altos de corrupção e matilhas inteiras num submundo de poder, é bem interessante. Nesse livro Missy é de uma família pobre quase miserável que teve a irmã mais velha sequestrada e desaparecida durante 10 anos em determinado momento ela se se apresenta como Ômega, numa família inteiramente de betas. Desesperada e com medo de ser sequestrada já que todas as matilhas querem uma Ômega ela toma a decisão de se oferecer a uma matilha considerada uma das mais perigosas em troca de que eles cuidem de sua família que se compõe do pai vagabundo da mãe prostituta da irmã mais velha que foi sequestrada traumatizada e de duas irmãs mais novas que ela qe cuida todos Beta. Para a matilha ter uma omega adiciona status que eles querem p acessar níveis mais altos na sociedade. Eles são uma empresa de segurança e investigam os sequestros recorrentes, dos quais TB foram vítimas qdo crianças. Os alfas são Dario seb e Lucas, durante a trama aparece Scarlet do livro 2 Ravel do livro 4 Onix do livro 3. Fecham o acordo, se apaixonam é sequestrada consegue resgatar e prender os bandidos ficam juntos. O mais interessante no livro e consequentemente na série é a quantidade de maluco são ômegas completamente sem noção alfas psicopatas como o juiz que é preso nessa ao omega assassino que vai aparecer no próximo com alfa q os crimes que ela quer é a Ômega do livro da Onix também sem noção sem limite apresentam universo completamente novo é muito interessante que eu não sei se eu leria este livro outra vez mas tô acompanhando a serie de provavelmente vou querer dar uma olhada em outras séries. A diferença básica entre essa autora e os outros livros de omegaverse que eu li é que aqui não se fala só de combinações de cheiro ela mostra muito a ganância tem vários vários grupos que estão juntos só por interesse os principais são combinações de cheiro e aquela coisa básica do megaverso é o meu eu que eu quero mas você vê na sociedade em volta que é muita coisa te garanância de eu quero a matilha mais forte não necessariamente mais combina então essa coisa corrupta e a coisa do interesse torna muito interessante. E as cenas hot combina todos os membros da matilha não necessariamente um para o outro para São todos ao mesmo tempo todos interagindo ao mesmo tempo deixa a coisa bem quente.
Not terrible but really let down by poor editing. It feels almost like a first draft that the author never bothered to read a second time, but just used spellcheck without looking and called it a day. Repetition of phrases, grammatical errors and words that don't make sense abound, and at times the telling not showing reaches levels akin to a high school essay. It took me a while to get a grip on any of the characters because mostly we were told this one was crazy or that one was kind and that was it.
The premise was paper thin, even for an omegaverse. The guys agree on the fake relationship, spend megabucks on the omega and then... lock her away for two weeks? Her being unbonded and not shown around town renders the whole situation pointless. She goes to one fancy dinner where it's clear that them having an omega is more a hurt than a help to their business. There's a brief mention that she was officially registered to them, but I don't see how that would prevent the desperate omegas that were supposedly throwing themselves at the pack. Then there's a bunch of forced angst that she won't want to be with them because... they are trying to take down the pack that abused her sister? Huh? They are literally weeks away from doing it, too, so even if she didn't want to be involved directly all she had to do was wait a month and it would be over.
The FMC didn't enrage me, which is always a plus, but honestly I have no idea who she is as a person, aside from 'poor'. She's never shown doing anything of her own accord, not reading a book, not even playing a game on her phone. 75% of her interactions while getting to know the alphas are '...and then we sat in silence for 3 hours'. Thats not speculation thats actually whats written. Which, you know, comfortable silence is great but usually people aren't just staring off into space for hours at a time every day.
The story could have been good if it were fleshed out and I wasn't constantly feeling like the author expected the reader to connect between dots that weren't there.

I felt like the guys had way more sexual tension and love for each other than they did with Missy. It seemed like the guys just had lust for her. Their relationships with her were somewhat shallow and not as deep as the guy's relationship with each other. They kept her out on a lot of things.
I was quite dissapointed with Darion. I hate when there's a stubborn alpha who's a jerk to the omega claiming she's not wanted and needed due to some hidden trauma. I just couldn't understand why he was the way he was. He kept acting hot and cold with her. I didn't like the part where he and Lukas got off on each other right before Missy's heat because she was apparently turning them on so much while leaving her out. That's such a slap to her face. I didn't like how he suddenly came around and just accepted that she's their omega and became super nice to her. He's always messing up and just apologizes afterwards and Missy forgives him each time. I wished she made him work more for her. I was also dissapointed with the revelation when Dorian found out that Missy was the girl he met when they were younger. It was so anticlimactic.
Lukas and Seb were okay but overall, I felt like none of the guys had any romantic or emotional connection to Missy, especially Dorian. I didn't feel like the guys did enough to earn her love. She accepted them so easily basically because she was desperate to be loved/wanted. She deserved a bit more than what was given to her.
Sexy and dangerous omegaverse story. Late blooming omega tries desperately to save her family in a world designed to keep her down. This world is divided into the haves and have-nots and this is no more apparent when a 26yr old Missy goes from a beta to omega. Now, all her plans to get her sisters out of the wrong side of the tracks have been dashed as her omega status makes her even more vulnerable to the wrong type of pack.
The fmc goes from independently working hard to rescue herself to being in a situation where everything about her biology means she now needs help to be rescued. This is probably one part of omegaverse storytelling that I dislike the most. I love it when authors include some sort of secret strength/smarts the female can use to muscle her own way out of danger, but in this case all the good things come because of her "knights" and it's mostly them that saves her.
I still really enjoyed this suspenseful, save the world, or at least this corner of the city, from the bad guys story. It needed to be longer to explore the main characters more. Fortunately what was there was concise and just enough to provide a decent foundation to make a reverse harem with m/m relationship feel romantic.
The world where this standalone is set in, is exactly what I love to see when reading omegaverse stories. This isn’t a world where omegas are always cherished and worshipped; when you’re poor it’s exactly the opposite. Although, where Missy comes from, no designation is truly safe. It’s clear she has had a hard life so far, but I love the strength in this young woman and how fierce she fights for her sisters.
The author tried to do a lot in this standalone, with evolvement in the characters, relationship building, plot development, … As a result, I feel like this is one of those standalones where you have to be willing to read between the lines. Not everything is expressively written down, and especially where the characters are involved you have to be willing to look behind their actions to what lies beneath: their motives, the walls they put up and so much more.
I got fascinated with the world we’ve seen in this standalone, and I’m excited to explore more of it in the rest of this series.
I really enjoyed this book. Missy is a very good protagonist and very likable. The alphas are alright, likable with good reasoning to why they behave the way they do.
I only wish there was more of their backstories instead of sexy bits almost more than the romance. Id have liked more talking and communication. I do like how missy felt like an equal addition to the group and not a babymaker.
Her relationship with her sisters would've been better explored more. The ending was alright and the bad guys felt sorry of unecessary. Like the story could have avoided all the drama.
I liked the introduction of one character who had no romantic relationships with the leads, an older lady alpha, seemed very sweet. I wish we could see Missy doing things outside of her alphas and family.
There was some grammar errors here and there but that wasn't my issue at all, the story for me just didn't flow, there were parts in the book where I was just like what is going on. It was very confusing for certain parts like the whole letter situation with the sister, was the letter for her or for him? Was it just the play for the big reveal at the end? Either way it confused the hell out of me I almost dnfd but really wanted to finish the main characters were great i love the MMMs relationship and wish there was more scenes with them. A lot of the drama stuff and big gasp moments were predictable in a sense the whole sister situation was shocking only because half the time I was confused on what was going on with her to begin with. Overall 2/5 spice was 2/5 as well. I was just hoping for more.
The Omega Accord’s is a series of currently 4 books that are all interconnected but each book follows a different pack. I devoured the whole set of 4 books in under a week. The series as a whole is so good!!
The Omega’s Contract follows Omega Missy who is hiding her Omega status from everyone. She goes to her older sister’s old friend and his pack to see if they can help her stay safe and protect her family. To protect her and them, they draw up a contract to make sure their agreement comes to an end.
Missy becomes valuable to their business and to them during her time with them. It doesn’t take long before they realize that she is important to them and just maybe they deserve to have a happy life after all they have been through.
My Personal Ratings:
5 Stars: Loved it! Couldn’t put it down or obsessed about it while needing to get to the end of it. Had to share some bits with my hubby!! Usually read in less than 2 days cause a girl has got to sleep sometime. Will be reading everything this author has to offer and most likely reread the series as next books in the series are released.
4 Stars: Really Good. Whether the story drew me in or a specific character, will definitely continue the series and look into more books by this author.
3 Stars: Enjoyed something about the book, whether it be the storyline or a character but also may have not liked something. Sometimes the book is great but needs some TLC from an editor. May or may not continue the series.
I enjoyed the writing outlook and the characters but the ending sort of lost me…
I loved Missy as an FMC and I enjoyed her relationships with Seb and Lukas and (sort of) Darion. But I feel like Trinity and Ava weren’t fleshed out enough and I am genuinely confused at their level of involvement and Missy’s forgiveness with how they impacted the final events.
*spoilers* If Trinity was directly involved with getting their younger sister human trafficked I do NOT see Missy letting that go… Like she didn’t play about her sisters and you’re telling me she was just understanding of the context of Trinity’s trauma and forgave her? Mmmmnmmm… 🙂↔️🙂↔️ idk I know she was loyal to Trinity too but it just got too muddled! And then everything was fine with Ava? She continued working at the company? It didn’t make seeeeense

So I accidentally read book #3 first and decided to just read backwards, so this was actually the last of the series that I needed up reading. Still even with that I enjoyed the book a lot and appreciated that the ML's had less of a "lets use her" vibe. I do wish though that the book had a little more proofreading, there were a few instances where it's like the author lost track of who was in the scene or who the narrator was. Example, it was Luka's POV but he said "Lukas steps away from me" How could he step away from himself? Few other instances where it's not easy to tell who's she's addressing or walked over to, ect. Still they were overall minor details in the grand scheme and I'd reccomend anyone thinking about it to give this series a try. I can't wait for book #4
Even though this is the first book in the series this is the most recent one I read. These books can be read as standalones but there are little things here and there that bleed into the other books. This one is all about the security company getting started, Missy getting integrated into the company, and this pack getting started. Missy and the security company do seem to pop up in all of the books so far, usually towards the end. I loved seeing Scarlet here! She's so far, my favorite of the whole series. Anyway, this one wasn't bad, but I felt like it was a little bit slower than the other ones so far. But I'm glad I finally went back and read it since I've always been curious about it and meaning to go back to it since reading the other books in this series.
3.5 - 4⭐️’s. needs some work, but ohhhh so good. 😘
So, I struggled with the start of this… When we first meet the guys, all we get to see is the dark, hurtful, broken bits.
I’m not a fan of those who justify hurting others, because they are hurting. Cruelty, ugly words, and the ability to shrug it off, to dismiss the devastation and trauma they leave behind…
But then the story grows, and we get to see so much more. It totally sucks you in.
I was disappointed that they essentially dealt with and accepted each other so quickly in that middle moment.
Missy showed so much strength and resilience at the beginning and the very end. I would have LOVED to see more of that in the middle.
Regardless, I’m hooked and want to read more. I may have found another fav author.
Nope nope nope, not this author, and definitely not this writing. The story had some potential in the beginning (better than those that make me roll my eyes and know I am wasting my time right from the start). But then, it just got worse. My eyebrows kept raising until the 50% point, then I just called it quits. Now I don’t even want to go into analyzing something that made me yawn and skim unrepentantly from the half mark point onwards (just to avoid the DNF status). Inconsistent, fuzzy plot; writing sounds like a person talking nonstop; ridiculous characters who confused me with their thinking and behaviors one minute to the next... The big reveal before the ending was more like a big mess. If one could be traumatized with impatience and boredom by a book then this book has done it for me. You want the specifics? Go to other 2 star reviews, I second their opinions. So sad, after Pack Darling (even though the story has its flaws), I have yet to find another Omegaverse book with the same compelling power to suck me in. Some are good, but of the same caliber, not. Blurbs always get my hopes up until I get the book itself, only to later smack myself on the head again for my stupidity. I am becoming jaded, and even more so after books like this one. If you find my review confusing and a rambling itself, well, excuse me but consider it me giving you a taste of this book’s medicine in advance. If you like the book, good for you. Have fun. 🥱
Suspenseful, Steamy, and an Emotional Roller Coaster! This book so hard to put down, no matter what I did, I couldn't get it out of my mind. It was so good it invaded my dreams, had me questioning what would come next, who were the real bad guys, what secrets were we missing. When it all came together, it was so amazing, I was riveted and loved every moment of this story. If you're looking for a book with a strong FMC looking to do right by those she loves and perceived bad boys with hearts of gold, this is definitely for you. I'm forever in love with Sebby, you can't have him. Just saying, lol!
Love this new addition to the omegaverse genre!!! Missy our main omega was in a tough spot with having to care for her family and the only way was to sign a contract to an alpha pack to make the family is taken care of. Little did she know that she would meet her forever pack. The alphas Darion,Seb and Lukas all had different personalities and each had their moments with Missy to deepen the bond which is what I love about these types of books. The side characters were great as well and I hope we see more of them in future books going forward. Of course the most important part is that the sex scenes were SPICY!!!

In all honesty I did read this series out of order. I did 3,4,1. I was excited to see Missy's story!! I'm not sure that all the scenes always made sense. As if they were missing connections in some places but it was a good story. It seemed undisclosed how long the guys had been working on their revenge along with how long Trinity was missing, before they randomly dropped in a decade. Her parents were awful. The Big Event happened too close to the ending and was cleared up so quickly, I'm not sure it made Any sense.
The ranking might've been lower if I didn't like these characters so much from the other books.
This author is new to me, but this definitely won't be the last of her books I'll read. In fact, I wish this series got more hype. Set in a cutthroat dystopian environment where our FMC is extremely poor, doing the best she can with absent, self-absorbed parents, to take care of her 3 sisters and driven to make desperate choices, like fake dating a pack. It was really well done with a strong plot and some excellent smolders and spice. Absolutely do not sleep on this one (and the rest of the series!)
Do check triggers, as this one has a human trafficking type plot line. Take care of yourself.
I enjoyed this book but my biggest qualm with everything was her sister Trin. It felt like she was a villain and there was back and forth like it couldn't fully be committed that she was or if she wasn't. So pretty early on I decided that I just hated her and she could have no redemption arc for me because I found her unbearable.
The alphas were fine and their courting was fine. Could have used a bit more gravel from D with things but I get they have a tragic backstory.
I'm a bit confused about several things and that's fine. Just not fully understanding everyone's stories and their roles.
