Parazodiac Nexus #1
Knot Your Fated M.U.S.E.
I'm an omega who can hear the shadows sing.
Patient #495. Nyx Blackwood. Scorpio.
They call me dangerous. Unstable.
The Fated M.U.S.E.
Mentally insane, they wrote in my file.
Unsatisfactory, they marked on my tests.
Scentless, they whispered in fear.
Excelled beyond control, they warned the others.
For six years, Ravenscroft Asylum has been my prison, their white walls keeping the world safe from me.
Or maybe keeping me safe from the world.
Until four of the most lethal alphas in the Parazodiac Nexus break in.
They don't just take me. They claim me.
Atlas, Capricorn, with his blindfolded gaze that strips me bare.
Dante, Leo, who reads my silence better than anyone with perfect hearing.
Kieran, Pisces, carrying the weight of a shattered bond that should have killed him.
Vale, Taurus, whose failing body houses an unstoppable will.
They're feral. Dangerous. Operating outside every law the city holds dear.
And they say I'm theirs.
But the shadows are singing louder now, warning of ancient blood feuds and deadly power plays.
The asylum wanted to keep me locked away — they should have worried more about what would happen when I got out.
These alphas think they can protect me from everything.
Everything except themselves.
Everything except what I might become with them.
And in the Parazodiac Nexus, survival means breaking all the rules.
Even the ones written by Fate.
Enter the brutal world of Knot Your Fated M.U.S.E. a 110,000-word a Dark Age-Gap Contemporary Omegaverse standalone where crime and chaos reign.
In a society shaped by the alpha/beta/omega hierarchy, alphas command power, while omegas are barely a step above prey. Here, men don’t just speak—they growl, and primal instincts dictate survival. Expect unforgettable tropes like “Who did this to you?”, “touch her and die,” rejected/fated mates, forced proximity, and the ultimate why choose invitation.

Beware: spoilers ahead
For the record, I'm usually someone who can overlook grammar mistakes and plot holes. The plot holes in the novel however were so big and so glaring that they annoyed even me. So that should tell you something. For the most part, I read/rate books based on vibes so it takes A LOT to set me off this much but here we are.
This book is going to tentatively get a 3 star rating purely because of the potential I'm choosing to see in it. I liked so many aspects of this book but at the same time, there were issues that were not small that bugged me enough to consistently pull me out of the story.
First off, the lack of world building killed me. The vague sprinkling we get of world building was interesting but I just needed more. I needed details. I needed concrete reasons on why this happened and why/how the guys came to be where they are now. Was this something they built or did someone recruit them into it? Does the government not have enough power to not let this happen right under them? Is everyone corrupt? What does a solution look like in the long term?
Second off, the characters and their lack of complexities. I understand everyone is very traumatized/physically damaged from their past but making that their only defining personality trait was weird. Some characters in the pack have exchanged max 5 on page sentences with Nyx and you want me to believe that they share a connection? Like, is the connection in the room with us?
That brings me to my last issue, the overwhelmingly unnecessary repetitive, and long-winded inner monologues everyone had. If I tell you I was skipping whole pages of pure repetitive inner monologue you would think I'm joking. The sad truth is that I'm not. Frankly, I don't need to know the same information from 3 different points of view, ever. If you think that being in one of the pack alpha's heads would change that and that you'd be afforded more information that the heroine (Nyx) doesn't have, you'd be sorely mistaken. It was like everyone was in the dark and had no information to give, which became increasingly more frustrating as the book progressed.
On a completely different note, whatever happened to the other omegas that were with Nyx? There was one sentence from one of the alphas saying that they found one but they never mentioned who it was or described them. Nyx also never asks about them. It was a plot point that was simply left to the winds and it annoyed me.
I also had a bone to pick with Altas and his reasoning behind wearing a blindfold. It's explicitly said in the book that he wears a blindfold so people won't stare and ask questions. I'm sorry, sir but I don't understand the logic. That just brings up even more questions? I understand he's blind but wouldn't simply wearing sunglasses be more inconspicuous than an actual blindfold? If I see someone out and about I'm much more likely to stare if they're wearing a blindfold than sunglasses because seeing someone with glasses is normal. Also also, WTF was Vale on when he chose to put his life and already fragile health on the line when things were already under control? He had no reasonable explanation for doing that and then almost getting himself offed because of his own actions. Is there no brain between those eyes?
Another thing that was weirdly left on the table with no explanation: Nyx's shadows. We hear about how she needs to control them and how omnipresent they can be. They also give Nyx vague sayings in preparation for when things are going down. I'd have liked the author to have elaborated on it. Are these shadows tangible? Can Nyx control them in the physical world and use them to fight? Do the alphas even know about them? Are they a superpower or sorts or the first sign of a severe mental illness caused by Ravenscroft? All these questions were left on the table, urgh!
I lowkey dislike Jinx. She speaks in riddles and doesn't answer questions directly. I'm hopeful in the next book that because we'll be in her head she'll have the answers to some of the very basic world building that should have been present in this novel.

Avery Song has a toxic relationship with commas, italics, and ellipses. The author doesn't understand how to write complete and full sentences and relies too much on different (and overuse) of punctuation to help get her point across.
PSA to the author: Terms of endearment are not capitalized unless their placement in a sentence warrants it.
Correct: "Here, drink this sweetheart."
Not correct: "Here, drink this Sweetheart."
This author, alongside other KU authors refuse to pay for a proper editor are very confused on this very simple rule. If the author cannot afford a good editor, Google exists.
The terrible nicknames used in this RH story: little Goddess, little one, my little goddess, baby, my precious Omega, my perfect little Goddess, little Goddess of the night, Omega, good girl, our sweet little goddess, and sweetheart.
We never connected with the MC's because the writing style was too disjointed. What an amazing concept ruined by poor writing and poor execution of ideas.
There was no depth, complexity or character growth for the story.

Not the usual standard
Usually I enjoy Avery Song books but this one is not it.
First and foremost the world in which this story takes place is never fully explained. Is the facility private or government owned? Who exactly is the government? What's the story with the dynamics? Are the Alphas military, paramilitary, mercenaries,etc?
Where are the other omegas? If all they do are rescues then why is the FMC at their house?
And the exposition! There are pages of nothing but internal monologues. Pages! I skipped a lot because there is only so much description a person can take. Very little conversation goes on between the characters so there are huge gaps in plot points that don't make sense. You mean to tell me two weeks makes up for six years of abuse!?! And the FMC only talks one-on-one with two people?
None of this makes sense and forcing the M.U.S.E. acronym is so puzzling because it doesn't make sense.
This feels like a draft of plot points that someone forgot to go back and fill in with a story before publishing. There is a lot of material to work with but it's just not up to this author's standards. I was very close to DNF but kept hoping it would get better, it didn't.

I’m genuinely annoyed by this book it felt like 300 pages of just nothing. The first 150 pages were terrible theirs no reason I should be reading 3 pages of inner monologue back to back with no dialogue. I’m tired I want to move on I want something to actually happen. Maybe it’s my fault for reading a book with the word knot in the title but I really thought this book was going to be great.

DNF 30%
Had to stop. Vale is in his "special" surveillance truck. 5 min to go before rescue mission starts. He sees a picture of Nyx… And then has to whip it out to jerk off thinking of her on her knees with his c..k in her mouth…
What the hell !!! She just went through 6 years of torture which he knows and now that he's seen her face his first thoughts are about her giving HIM a blowjob 😡😡😡😡
Poor girl… she deserves so much better 😭

Oh goodness I should’ve heeded the reviews more carefully before attempting this one. I can’t even … JUST NO. The plot holes are crazy, the redundancy is outrageous and the repetition is borderline torturous.
Most of the chapters were taking so long to get to the point I forgot what I was even reading. One chapter was about 8 pages long of that POV just saying the same thing over and over in different ways. The entire book was like reading the same line over and over again but realizing you didn’t get anywhere because you keep spacing out.
I skipped about 4 chapters and didn’t miss much, realized I did miss something, went back and skimmed what I skipped, saw that there was inner dialogue for about 4 pages before what I needed to know finally popped up. I got about 70% of the way through before calling it quits.
Giving this 2 stars. One star because it takes a lot of courage to put yourself out there and the other star because the actually plot was interesting despite not being executed well.
Truly. It was frustrating.
Author has great potential though. Will attempt other works.

For a book nearly 450 pages in length, I would’ve expected a bit more out of its development. Now, the bare bones were there: illegal and inhumane experimentation on omega captives, a rescue mission to free them, a pack of alphas with disabilities or traumas that might make them seem ineligible for a completed pack. It was action-packed omegaverse setup at its finest.
But then there were the moments of time where things seemed to jump forward or skip around. I overlooked it at first thinking it to be a part of Nyx’s way of viewing the world. Or simply the rough world building setup some books open with. But the further I read, the more I could see important moments getting skipped over. Like the building up of chemistry between Nyx and her rescuers. Other than Atlas and maybe Vale, there was no real interaction between Nyx and the pack that could’ve built such devotion. No chemistry. We at least got scenes of Atlas interacting with Nyx: being the first to find her, to prevent her from a permanent choice, then afterward being her caretaker as she slept and healed. They had their moments. Even Vale had that moment of past connection with her that could’ve been built upon. But nothing for Dante and Kieran beyond just the knowledge of being a pack. I don’t know, I just would’ve expected more from a book with so many pages.
Plus, a lot of things go unanswered in this book. I get that it’s most likely the start to a series with more to build into—maybe even more revelations and explanations on these “shadows” Nyx hears that the experiments were so focused on increasing—but if they’re meant to act as standalones within a series of standalones focusing on each female (Nyx then Jinx and who knows afterward) then I’d expect a certain level of focus on the pack dynamics themselves being resolved or solidified to build into the next. Maybe I’m being hypercritical but I feel what I feel 🤷🏼♀️

Author list the muse
This book was a little all over the place - timelines that stretched out longer than the given time, characters that seem to be important but disappeared, a confusing backstory to a world with an emphasis on zodiac though no real explanation is given.
It left a feeling of confusion and wondering if I'm missing a few to several key pages. The story had potential, and I really hope that, as the series progresses that a lot of these "problems" will be addressed. I just don't have a very good feeling when your first book, in which all other books in the series building the foundation upon, has so many things to fix.
Nyx is a captured omega with 3 other omegas who are all tested on in a research facility. They bond over shared survival stories and traumas.
Are these women important?!? 🤔 Who knows, they dissappear at the beginning of the book. Does Nyx ask about their whereabouts? Nope, because she is newly freed and . . .
Nyx tells us she is a Scorpio; Atlas is a Capricorn; there's a Taurus and some others. The Alphas work for ParaZodiac. What all this means😑 I don't know and no hints of importance are given
This is a world that has A/B/O and humans?!? I don't know. World-building is very stilted and fundamentally lacking in key areas when it comes to the basic dynamics. It is hinted about how omegas are treated, but since they rescue them hard to know if this is a skewed view since I'm assuming some of their mothers were omegas. It's hard to get a handle on the dynamics of the 'people' of this world.
Overall, I wanted it to get better, to explain, to fill in the blanks but I was left wanting. I guess I will have to see if I continue the series

Not what I was expecting.
I have loved loved loved everything that Avery Song has written so far…however this was not what I was expecting. Most of Avery’s books are fast paced and in-depth with characters you can’t help but love, but honestly, this one just didn’t do it for me. I felt like this book was slow paced. I think because most of the books I’ve read by her were series she was able to stretch things out a lot more but still keep it very fast paced whereas this book even though it is going to be a series it is a connected standalone. With that being said, I felt like I was lost most of the book and the characters didn’t seem to even get together until like halfway through the book. Maybe even a little more. This is sad to me because like I said, I love her books. I think this could’ve been better. The beginning in middle was slow and the ending felt rushed and sort of like it just ended. I still think I might pick up the second book when it comes out, fingers crossed my opinion changes.

I agree with all other reviews. This book reads more as a draft than a final product. The criminal lack of character development or emotional connection between the FMC and MMCs leads to a flat and achingly boring read.
I couldn't connect with the characters, and worse, I couldn't understand how they were meant to connect with each other. The best way I can describe it is this: imagine a child drawing two stick figures side by side, pointing at them, and saying, “They’re soulmates”—and that’s it. You’re just expected to believe in this deep emotional bond without ever being shown why or how it exists. It doesn’t work. A romance can't lean entirely on the idea that love is present just because the author says so—especially when half the MMCs have barely exchanged more than a dozen words with the FMC.
I read for vibes. I'm not expecting this book to be life changing, and I can ignore plot holes, but if a book can't even provide vibes why am I here? I DNF'd at Chapter 29. I wanted it to end so bad that I could even finish the last 2-3 chapters.

I cannot believe i skimmed almost this entire book. Okay, the premise of the story I liked sold..bought the book after reading the sample. Then i started to notice the preaching, overuse of the word SYSTEMIC, yes there are horrible people in the world and they treat people as such but i don't WANT OR NEED a sermon, and all the excessive repeating of the previous chapters! I'm gonna need authors to give warnings now that say, "Warning, I do get on my soap box!" EXHAUSTINGGGG!!!! I will not read the second book and I'm a person that Has to know how something ends! Nope, not today or any day!

Wasted Time
I really felt like I wasted my time reading this book.
This book is supposed to be a standalone in a series of connected standalones. (I could be wrong and if I am I have no issues changing my review to reflect it)
However the author left me wanting to much and not in a good way.
I don’t think the story really started until about 75% into the book and even then that left not enough time to wrap up this story.
I don’t feel like there was enough time for the Omega to even spend time with her alphas and I don’t know I truly got the ick by the end of the book.
Do not recommend.

Unhinged omega. Four lethal alphas. Fate-defying chaos. Knot Your Fated M.U.S.E. by Avery Song is a dark, addictive Omegaverse romance where the heroine is just as dangerous as the men trying to claim her.
Nyx Blackwood has spent six years locked away, but when four powerful alphas break her out, they have no idea what they’ve unleashed.
Packed with feral obsession, mind games, and tension so thick it’s suffocating, this book is a wild, seductive ride that rewrites every Omegaverse rule. If you love morally gray alphas, powerful omegas, and a romance that borders on madness, you NEED this.

This MUSE is fantastic!
I loved the suspense and the angst of not knowing how things were going to go or when it would all go horribly sideways at the beginning. The soft, sweet and vulnerable transition that occurs for not just Nyx but all of the Alphas is refreshing and relatable. She’s discovering herself and becoming what she’s meant to be and they’re discovering who they once were beneath the damage. I am looking forward to reading the next book and seeing what happens with her and her pack as well as other characters mentioned.

I feel so confused after reading this. Like I read the book but I also didn't read anything, does that make sense?
The book feels rushed. The scenes where Nyx was in the lab were missing something and the scenes setting up the guys in the beginning dragged on and on and seemed like they would never end.
There were weird time jumps and I felt like I was missing whole chapters of the book.
Warning, it's got a cliffhanger but it looks like the next book continues the overarching story with Jinx's story. So there's not really a true HEA for Nyx and her guys.

75% of the book is very very veeeeery slow. In depth explanations of every miniscule feeling of every character. It was quite difficult to read through. I found myself skipping these so I could find the actual conversations. At some points its even repeating the same thing two pages before. It basically drags on some things for ages and doesn't say enough for the things we really needo learn.
I did read it tho and it became interesting around 85%. Hopefully the second one will be less explanatory and more actual story.

Not a typical omegaverse
This book was not your typical omegaverse, having said that, it was a fantastic story. There is not much spice given the storyline, nothing really happens until 80% in so if you are looking for a sexy read, this isn't that. Having said that, the FMC's development with one alpha is really explored and the rest of the pack seems to kind of be rushed through at the end of the end of the book. Having said that I still gave it 4 stars because it was a great storyline and hopefully we see more than just a glimpse of them in the next book.

I usually love books like this, but there was constant rumination and speculation in the characters heads. Yes this creates depth to a character, but when it is so constant that the story is significantly stalled and nothing happens just characters thoughts for over 30% of the book it is too much. Its a great storyline, i would just edit out a quarter to half of the internal thoughts of the characters. It becomes redundant quickly.

lacking
This book tried some things but fell short for me. The worldbuilding was not there. Giving detailed descriptions of her disturbing captivity did not pay off as the author intended. For example: I’m still fuzzy on if the “shadows” are supernatural or not and the ABO dynamics are not explained at all. Usually I see the vision and can ignore some plot holes or bland characters but this was not really close to a coherent story.

April 1, 2025I’m going to have to give this one 3.5 stars. It was an interesting story but I was hoping for more. More of a connection. There was a lot of repetition in this book. I found myself skimming pages because it would keep repeating a concept or conversation over and over for 3-4 pages which was irritating. I don’t think I’ll continue the series when the next comes out but I loved the author in her other series. This one just didn’t keep my interest.

good reading
A good series begins to unfold. So many questions need to e answered, there is pain and torture to be overcome and avenged, healing initiated, a system that needs to be broken and replaced. Lot to do and very involved. My only drawback is that I had a hard time connecting to the characters and connecting them. Good reading and am hoping for more character and relationship building as it progresses.

good story, repetitive
The story line was good, very intriguing. The execution was lacking in that everything was repeated many times. One minute of activity would last 4 paragraphs due to repeated feelings. Then sometimes brought up later to be repeated a few more times. I found myself skimming most of the book.

Honestly would give this book 0 stars if it was possible. I really tried to like this book and even read it all the way through hoping that it would get better but it did not. The authors writing style is one of the worst I have ever seen it is very hard to follow and does not allow you to connect with the characters at all. I also don’t understand why the FMCs rescue took over half the book then when the pack finally meets her instead of getting beautiful bonding moments between them it’s a bunch of weird time jumps and awkwardly placed smut.

this freaking book.
I have read a lot of this genre. But this authors prose is flawless. Atlas, oh my God. Then you have Dante, and Vail, and Kieran. And Nyx..... the things this woman has gone through. And the twists and turns of the plot made me absolutely feral.

2 stars for plot
I loved the idea of this book but yikes was this bad. Not only did I have to skim most of the book due to repetitiveness but also feeling like the author didn't know where the story was going. Overall do not recommend.

Nyx
I wanted to love this story. Nyx has been dealing with torture for six years. Longer than anyone else in the facility. The beginning was great. But the writing style threw me off.

The biggest problem I had with this is some of the passages ran on and on saying the same things just different ways.

Wanted to like this but eh
I don’t like how the romance was only really the last like quarter of the book. I feel like story went nowhere and then ended super abruptly.
