Never have I ever been so happy to be part of an ARC team. The way part two ended, I was running to read the conclusion as soon as it hit my kindle!
Part three was equal parts emotional as it was spicy. I coin this the “cūm & cry combo”. (Listen, it’s nearly 1AM and I’m delirious and I think I’m funny)
Anywaysssssss… I just really loved this series. The characters’ journeys were the highlight for sure and I enjoyed watching everyone’s relationships grow. I wish the ending was a little longer for the sake of the plot, but I’m also a greedy lady sooo 🤷🏻♀️
If you’re like me and always on the hunt for a new omegaverse, dive into this one and enjoy the ride!
ARC read 5 stars ⭐️ 5/5 spice 🌶️ 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 Please read trigger warnings first before reading!
This series FED MY SOUL. I felt so lost and in such a fantasy slump. This cured it but now I don’t know how I’ll come back from this. The plot was intense, I don’t have any triggers but for those who do this series may be difficult to get through. There’s a ton of forced proximity, non con, blood play, etc. The characters whether main or side were so well thought out. I was immersed into this story and felt as though I was living it. All the puzzle pieces that started in the first book came together beautifully in this. Thank you so much Summer for allowing me to be apart of this 💙

Thank you Summer for allowing me to arc read this fantastic journey!
This book took my soul, shredded it, and then pieced it back together in the most unhinged, delicious way.
The final book in this series delivered EVERYTHING—revenge, found family, heartache, and spice that had me screaming into my pillow. The emotional rollercoaster?? Unmatched. One minute I was sobbing, the next I was fanning myself, and then BAM—plot twist that had me gasping.
Sinclair’s journey? PERFECTION. Watching her fight, break, rebuild, and finally get the love she never knew she needed was everything. And let’s not forget Titus—his arc broke me in the best way. The walls he built, the way they crumbled, the way he just needed love… I cried.
The girl power in this book? ICONIC. Watching them take back their power, stand up for themselves, and burn everything in their path? Chef’s kiss. Though, not gonna lie, I wouldn’t have been mad if a few certain elders suffered a bit more… but, you know, laws and whatnot.
Final thoughts? This book had my heart pounding, my emotions wrecked, and my mind spinning in the best way. If you love an omegaverse with unbreakable bonds, scorching tension, and well-earned revenge—this one is for YOU
A great ending to a surprising (for me) series. Omegaverse isn’t my thing I’m a contemporary romance girlie to my core, but when Summer O’Toole writes a book Aj Wathern reads a book, which is what brings us to now!
The Omega Trials is a great spin on the evil secret society being taken down from the inside trope but don’t be surprised to discover it is in fact about 80% spice 20% plot-and I liked it like that 😂.
I liked that Ti finally got out of his own way, he was really put through it in this whole series and I feel like this final book was dedicated to his character progression.
I would have liked to have seen some of the fallout of Sinclair’s heritage being revealed but that’s a tiny bugbear.
All in all it’s hard to review just the last book alone because you really need to read the complete series for it to make sense, so go do that!
If you are here, I'm guessing you've read Part I & II so I won't go into too much detail to not spoil anything but this book is everything I wanted for the conclusion of this series. It's fluffy, it will make you happy, and of course, the group activities do not disappoint 😮💨
In Part III we wrap up the story, but most importantly we get to witness the culmination of the relationship between the pack and their love for each other. We also get beautiful found family moments that I wasn't expecting.
This book is ending the series in the best possible way 🖤
I loved how Titus recreates the great hall moment! Iloved how all three Alphas stood for their Omega!
I loved that Merigold came around and wasn't as vile as we thought!! I liked that the other pack while they didn't know what was going on 100% they were still willing to stand with the pack and help Merigold when the time came.
I was so happy with how they played the Echelon and I was so so so glad that Sinclair was able to take her vengence!
These guys all deserved their HEA!!

Complete series RTC once I unscramble my brain lol
What a way to end a series! Blown away with how everything came together in the end. Summer ripped my heart out and then stitched me back together with this one.
I loved everything about it and I can’t wait to read all three books back to back!
This series and these characters are unforgettable and I’m so sad to say goodbye. Fantastic end! I can’t give it all away but, I’ll say this for the people in the back, Titus is a good one and I’ll fight you over it 😘
Storyline:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Spice:🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ Song: Middle of the Night - Elley Duhé (from my favorite scene in this book)
Short and saucy and I finally got the group scene of my dreams😍🙌 I was so so happy when Titus and Sin finally bond, it was so so good too:) never been happier for this pack to get their hard earned HEA!

“Titus suffered in silence, hiding behind a cruel facade. He tried so hard to come off heartless when he may have the biggest heart of them all.”
Please check the trigger warnings for this book before reading it. Book Three was everything I needed for the completion of this story. Titus was my favorite character of the series. To see him go from the mean bully to getting what he actually wanted in the end was lovely. He just needed love and to let his walls down. That Fortitude Trial still having lingering effects on him years later hurt me. Bishop & Ecker’s scenes were everything and it wasn’t unexpected. I actually wanted more of those two together.
Sinclair started the series going through hell and end it with the found family that she didn’t know she needed. I’m so glad that granny made it and she got the ultimate revenge for her in the end. I don’t think I actually hated her character. I think I just didn’t like how she did Titus. In the end, she was right because he was an asshole in the beginning while Ecker & Bishop fell for her quickly. What actually happened to Sin’s mom was horrible but I’m glad she came back when she did. Granny probably would have died without her help. Sin was right to keep her at a distance though.
There were so many twists and turns in this story. The truth of her heritage, the lies told, the alliances formed, the revenge, the unexpected friendships between the women. I’m so glad they all got their happily ever after.
This was an arc from the author for my honest review.

Third part, best part! ______________________ Plot: Now this is where I felt like the book moved forward the most. We had discoveries, shocks, and reveals that were missing in the first two books. I wish we had gotten less spice, more real trials, and more evil from the bad guys.
The spice: now, I liked all the spice in this third part. Sinclair's solo moments with each guy and the group scenes too! Also, that little hint of MM had me going feral. It was perfect and I'm eagerly waiting for the bonus epilogue!
Characters: Bishop showed more of his sweet side and also more of his rough side in bed. He was everything Sinclair needed and was the perfect alpha. Ecker deepened his connection, not only with Sinclair but also with Bishop, and that was unexpected but hot af. Titus being let into the fold was the cherry on top and I appreciated all the ways he still earned his forgiveness (not like someone else...Ecker I'm looking at you). His secret acts of service and how he wanted to show Sinclair that he was sweet... I loved him and he was my favorite in the end.
And Sinclair stayed the bad bitch that we knew. but this time she could be vulnerable and trust that her alphas would take care of her. Her being the hand that delivered the bad guys punishment felt karmic and I loved it.
I had been wanting to read this series for a while and I'm grateful to have been given the arc for the complete series. Unfortunately, this just wasn't for me. I didn't really feel any connection to any of the characters or story. I felt it had really good bones but, the story definitely was more of a background which was a bummer because I feel like if it'd been more at the forefront it would've been better. That's on me though, I didn't realize this was definitely more just smut and less about the story - so if that's your thing then you'll love this series. Just wasn't for me, I prefer more character driven/story along with smut.
None of the characters really ever communicated and I wasn't a big fan of the omega/alpha dynamics in this book. I love dark romances, I love morally grey/black characters, I don't hate dub/non con but, this just wasn't it for me. Sinclair is raped by the MMCS frequently in the first book and it was never really addressed - they never talked about it, apologized, groveled, nothing. They were all running off the omega/alpha instincts only and it felt like there was no real growth between the characters or even relationships building. I didn't like how the heats/rut were done, it was a unique spin on them but, I personally didn't like it.
I'm sure this will be a great series for plenty of other people though.
Over the last 2 books we have seen Sinclair, and her Bishop, Ecker and Titus’s battle with one another and then we saw their bonds develop which lead them to unite and fight the main enemy, and now with the final part I can safely say it was the perfect ending to their story story. I absolutely devoured this book and the main reason being was yes I needed to know what happened next especially after the cliffhanger of the last book😫
Yes, feisty Sinclair and her Alphas Bishop, Ecker, and Titus are back and that means our pack are facing more trials thus the stakes are an all time high😅. I really enjoyed how the family element really developed in this book. Especially with Sinclair and Merigold, as these two were constantly at odds in the earlier books.
The pack showed a solid front, especially when it comes to Sinclair and this just shows how the bonds between Sinclair and her alphas have grown a lot more since when we first met them and honestly it made me so teary eyed.
I absolutely love this series, but all good things must come to an end, just as the trials themselves. The epilogue was sweet and we see our main characters get the future they fought so hard for😭
Thank you so much to the author who provided this e-arc for my honest thoughts 💭
The Omega Trials is a pulse-pounding, dark, why-choose romance set in a thrilling omegaverse! This gem is the grand finale of the trilogy, so buckle up! To really dive into the plot twisty goodness, make sure you read the first two books—trust me, the suspense will have you on the edge of your seat!
In the earlier chapters, we witnessed the epic showdown between Sinclair, Bishop, Ecker, and Titus. As their tangled relationships grew, they banded together to tackle a common foe.
And can we talk about the sweet taste of revenge? I've always had a hunch our hero Sinclair would take down the Echelon, and this final chapter delivers a knockout ending!
I can't recommend this series enough—it's a wild ride you won’t want to miss!

Never have I ever been more relieved to have the next book immediately at my fingertips. After that brutal cliffhanger in Part 2, I was running to see how it all played out—and WOW, what a ride.
Part 3 was the perfect mix of emotional and spicy (aka the cūm & cry combo™—shoutout Dani the genius who coined that because it’s so real). The character growth, the deepened bonds, the tension finally breaking—I loved every second. Bishop remains the sweetest, Ecker’s unexpected connections made me feral, and Titus? My king. Watching him fully integrate into the pack and earn his place was so satisfying. And Sinclair? She stayed a badass, but this time, she didn’t have to do it alone. The way she delivered justice was just chef’s kiss.
The found family aspect hit so hard, especially with Sinclair and Merigold. The trials, the revenge, the emotions—every loose end was tied up in a way that felt right, even if I selfishly wanted more. The epilogue was everything and gave our pack the future they deserved.
Summer, thank you for this wild, spicy, and emotional ride. I don’t know how I’ll recover, but I do know I need that bonus epilogue right now. 🔥😭
This series truly nourished my soul! I was feeling so lost and stuck in a fantasy slump, but this story pulled me right out of it. Now I’m wondering how I’ll ever move on from this experience. The plot was incredible, and while I don’t personally have triggers, I can see that some might find certain elements challenging—there’s a lot of forced proximity, non-consensual situations, and blood play. The characters, both main and supporting, were exceptionally well-crafted, making me feel like I was living their journey. Sinclair and her Alphas—Bishop, Ecker, and Titus—are back, and they're facing even more intense challenges. The stakes have never been higher! I loved how the family dynamics evolved in this book, especially the relationship between Sinclair and Merigold, which had been fraught in previous installments. The pack really came together, showcasing a strong bond, particularly in their support for Sinclair. Seeing how much the relationships have deepened since the beginning brought tears to my eyes.
A fan is definitely needed when reading. I was so excited that Titus finally bonded with Sinclair, it was probably my favorite part with a close runner up being all four came together. You must read the first two parts before diving into this one to fully understand what is going on, don’t worry the spice is HOT! Things start to become more clear throughout this part, which some things were truly shocking to what these Elders were capable of & how low some would go. The trails the pack went through were ruthless, but it brought them to their forever mate. I loved all these men, I don’t think I could pick a favorite out of the three after this final part, they all have a special place in my heart. Sinclair is truly amazing & I feel like she completed them perfectly. One minute I would be swooning & the next I would be fanning myself. This series will be knotted around your heart along with Ecker, Bishop & Titus, so be prepared to handle all three. Oh to be an Omega with three Alphas.
Y’all this series is exactly what my brain needed with everything going on in the world right now because it is wild, unhinged, and spicy as $@#&! I read part 1 of this trilogy when it released last summer and then binged both Parts 2 and 3 in the past few days. This dark, enemies to lovers omegaverse has EVERYTHING. You want unhinged morally black characters? Done. You want an incredible redemption arc for a character that you will LOATHE? Part 3 has you covered. Plot twists that make your head spin? Obviously. And of course, there is also the spice that is 🥵 I loved Sinclair, Titus, Bishop and Ecker so much by the end of this story and I am honestly sad it’s over 😭 Summer’s books are all incredible and this series is no different so definitely check this one out

THE OMEGA TRIALS PART III (with a smidge of PART II)
I read this book in one sitting!
I’ve loved The Omega Trials since book one. This was such a great conclusion for Omega Sinclair and her Alphas’ Bishop, Eckert, and Titus’ story.
The book(s) were full of tension between the characters and a great underlying plot with the trials. I was so happy to finally get to Titus and Sinclair bonding in this book, as she had already mated with the others.
I loved the overall story arc of the series and how much we got to see each character change and develop from book one as they fell in love with each other and (re)created pack Cerulean. I’m so happy they finally got their HEA!
And if you like spice, this series/book has it in spades.
I highly recommend checking out the whole series if you are into Omega/Alpha dynamics and lots of knotting. Just make sure to check your triggers.
Thank you so much for the ARC Summer and team in exchange for an honest review.
And we’ve finally made it to the long awaited conclusion. This is the third book of the series, and it is pretty fast paced. You’re not in one place for two long. Sometimes authors drag out the inner monologues of the characters, but Summer did a good job getting right to the point.
I loved the relationship between the FMC and the MMC’s. I feel like we got a little more in depth with the male characters as we learned more about what happened to their families, and their fears of what their futures could look like. The growth Titus showed was amazing. He just wanted to be loved and cared for like most and his fear of not being included because of how he previously acted. Definitely felt for him.
While, this was a fast paced book and we finally have come to the conclusion of the series, I do feel the ending was rushed a bit. Kind of like wham bam done. But all in all, I enjoyed the series!
I wish that authors would put a disclaimer if they're going to have MM in a book like this. For me personally, I don't read books that have male alphas together, it doesn't make sense to have one submit to the other since they're both supposedly dominant and I would think dominance extends to the bedroom. A male omega I can see since they are already submissive. It's just so cringey when authors try to do this and they really don't even need to. In this book, while the FMC gives one MMC a B J, another MMC walks in and starts to get one from the MMC (First time thing for them) and calls him "BROTHER" while he tells him to suck him. That's so weird and just totally ruined the vibe of the book. Like wtf, who does that?! I know they're not related but it's so gross. So no I don't care how it ends. The story was kind of fine until then but really didn't need to be 3 books.
Now that the hatred is fully gone and love is growing in it's place, Sinclair, Ecker, Bishop, and Titus are re-evaluating their goals, their reasons for participating in the Trials, and how they are going to earn both the justice and the revenge that they deserve.
The last pieces are falling into place, both within the pack and outside of it. Sinclair and Titus are learning to navigate their feelings, forgive past hurts, and decide how they want to function within the family. There's lots and lots of spicy time, a lot of different scenarios and play that all of our alphas and our omega explore and enjoy, and that brings them all closer together in the end.
It's also time to bring down the Echelon and build something new, and I was surprised and a little heartbroken at how it's achieved...the family you've grown to love earns their happy ending.
This series was my introduction to the entire omegaverse world…and I have to say I’m never looking back!
Summer O’Toole delivered the perfect end cap for Sinclair, Titus, Bishop, & Ecker! Finally Titus got his entrer into the fold - will full permission & everything! No burning sensation to be seen. While I love how Bishop was the first to really embrace Sinclair in book 1 - and how Ecker both protected & dominated Sinclair in the most perfect ways — it was really the growth of Titus, culminated in book 3, that really cemented me as his #1 fan forever and always.
Thank gawd O’Toole gave us the HEA we all really wanted & needed for these 4. And the epilogue 😭😭🥰🥺❤️
AND you’re guaranteed quite a bit of goooood spice…a few gasp moments…but sooo good!
Sad to have to move on AND hoping she brings us back again in some form. I need to see them again! 🤩😍
Having read part I and II, I was actually on the fence with part III and would have given 4.5 stars but rounding up because while I wanted a little bit more with the family back stories, it did tick all the boxes for me and didn’t leave anything hanging from the story. The characters had some massive growth in this last book. I feel like the guys finally began to understand Sinclair a little bit better but Sinclair also started to understand what the guys (Titus, Bishop and Ecker) also all went through to get to this point. While I hated Summer in book 1, the fact that they ended up teaming up with her to get some revenge completely blew my mind but then for family secret and Sinclair’s mom to reappear was a plot twist I didn’t see coming either. The spice was top tier so that was not lacking in anyway and the overall series was amazing!
I gotta be honest, though…with all the angst and betrayal and hatred—especially between Titus and Sinclair—I didn’t think we’d ever get here. But I started to see a different side to Titus at the end of the last book, and that continued here. He really just felt like he’d lost his place with his brothers, lost his family. My heart hurt for him, even though I’m still mad at him for the hell he put Sinclair through. But holy cow, he made up for it!
And ain’t revenge sweet? I knew our girl Sinclair would be the one to bring down the Echelon.
What a perfect ending! Thank you, Summer O’Toole, for this ARC. And for giving Sinclair, Titus, Bishop and Ecker the happy ending they deserve!
The finale of The Omega Trials gave us a twisty turvy plot that finally came to fruition (that was only slightly anticlimactic and a few things that felt left unresolved, but maybe that’s my insatiable desire to hear all the sordid details of justice). Sinclair and the guys were finally able to tackle challenges as a Pack and their coming together was just the sweetest. Titus’ character development was hard-won and I had been waiting for it on the edge of my seat throughout the series. There were a couple shocking moments that really changed the game and an epilogue that gave me all kinds of warm fuzzies. A unique take on omegaverse with a twisted secret society and a pack of Alphas that are impossible not to fall in love with!
