ARC Review - Darling Diana by Scarlett Finch
🌟🌟🌟🌟 4 Stars – Really Liked It I had a great time reading this! The characters were strong, the story was engaging, and I’d happily recommend it to others.
This book was so much fun to read. I liked the characters and setting…. But that ending… I was not ready! Can’t wait for the next book!

I am absolutely dying from that ending?? March can't come soon enough 😭 There's so much stuff left up in the air and I need to know what happens because like is Judge a big fat liar?? Was Diana set up? Is who's involved?? I need to know 🥲

This was a quick read for me. I like the main characters, and I especially love how the alpha/omega part was written

Judge in all his dark possessive Alpha glory had me pinned to the pages, slowly peeling back his truths revealing the man behind the myth, dangerous not only for his power but for his morals.
I haven’t read a book with my name before so Diana had me living my FMC dream 😂 I enjoyed her feisty, relentless character and the way she never backed down from a challenge, always pushing boundaries with both wit and heart.
She doesn’t trust easily, so when Judge shows even an ounce of kindness, we see her battle her own doubts in a world built by lies and loss.
It’s a quick read that swallowed me whole. It gave me Mad Max meets omegaverse with a unique plot. Such a fun read until the ending had me ripping my hair out, gnawing at the bit for book 2.
“I have a feeling your days unmated are rapidly dwindling, nurse. You need a good knotting to cull that attitude.”
4.5⭐️

Where to begin?! This author has done it again, love all her books and highly recommend reading this one. I soared through it in a few evenings as it left me wanting more!
If you like Steam Punk - Mad Max type with dark vibes in an omegaverse you’ll love Darling Diana. The plot is so unique and the characters are nail biting fun! Diana is a kick a** FMC, who is independent who unfortunately meets Judge, the all fearing MMC that is brutal, savage and concise. As thier world collides Judge finds himself in a predicament but of course has his soul set on dominating and worshipping Diana. Now Diana wants no part of this so it’s up to Judge to win her over. Whether by brute or gentleman Judge has his work cut out for him and the ending is a doozy! Can’t wait for book 2, thank you so much for the opportunity to read an ARC Scarlett Finch for my honest feedback.

Scarlett Finch is a pen name of Charlotte Mallory, whose *Secrets of Jane* I discovered randomly thanks to Anthony Palmini’s narration. I’ve been low-key stalking her online ever since, waiting for the audiobook of book #2 to be released. Reading *Darling Diana* definitely made the waiting easier.
What I liked:
- This book was pretty fast-paced and compulsively readable. I don’t read with my eyes much anymore due to lack of time (audiobooks for the win), but I didn’t regret the time invested into this one. It kept my attention well – I needed to know what would go wrong with these two.
- The sexy scenes were mid, but they did move the story forward, which I find rare nowadays.
- The twist at the end added an extra star in my eyes. I was mentally shitting on the foreshadowing the whole time and then completely ate my words in the last few pages. I’m hooked and desperately need book #2.
What I didn’t like:
- The worldbuilding was lacking. Historical events are mentioned, some people are called “echoes” for reasons, the name “Scarlett Offering” is dropped, yet nothing is properly explained. I often felt like I’d missed a prequel and now had to stitch together nonexistent pieces.
- Overuse of omegaverse words and repetition of phrases. My omega heart, his alpha dominance, my omega hormones. It pulled me out of the story more than once and I cringed occasionally. That said, I’ve read much worse – if you’ve read omegaverse before and didn’t care, you’ll be fine.
- The romance doesn’t feel genuine. This is dark romance: the FMC is basically kidnapped and raped (it’s non-con due to heat, take it as you will). That’s a rough starting point for a swoony romance, and the rest of the story didn’t really help this feeling. I’m tentatively positive and hoping Judge can be redeemed in my eyes, because I do need the HEA.
- We don’t really know any of the main characters. We get crumbs, but no real backstory.

(Spoiler-free, feral-reader approved)
Darling Diana was such a damn good time. I’d been in a full slump spiral when I picked this up and this book is the one that finally yanked me out of it. Dark dystopian omegaverse romance… thank you for your service. I absolutely inhaled this thing. It’s just under 300 pages and packed with some of my favorite tropes.
Let me start with the real reason I was locked in… Judge. I’m obsessed with this man. The name alone is perfection. He’s the alpha of alphas. Dominant, growly, violent to literally everyone but her. He’s got this chaotic, heartbreaking past we only get glimpses of and I need so much more. Every scene with him was absolutely delicious.
Diana, on the other hand… girl tested every ounce of my patience. I get it… she’s exhausted by this broken world, hiding her omega status, carrying so much fear. But the nonstop mistrust toward Judge for basically the entire book had me wanting to shake her. This man bares his soul, shares pieces of his tragic past, softens for her in ways he shouldn’t… and she is still deep in her me-me-me era. Gahhh 😂 she got on my nerves.
But not enough to stop reading. Not even close. I love dark dystopian vibes and I’ve always been an omegaverse girlie, so mixing those two together make this an automatic win for me. It’s well written, the plot goes down smooth, the world is icy and brutal in the best way, and the mmc is everything. This one is a quick, addictive read that I genuinely recommend.
Book two is supposed to deliver that HEA and I will be waiting with all the bated breath because Judge owns me now 🥵

5 STARS
I am suing. SUING I tell ya. Suing for emotional damages because what do you MEAN you're going to leave us like this, Scarlett Finch? My flabbers are gasted my even cannot. This is the kind of emotional damage a reader doesn't come back from and the sheer audacity to write it so nonchalantly? I bow down to your evil genius. But I digress.
I discovered Charlotte Mallory earlier this year and was immediately hooked. If you haven't read The Improper Bastards series yet, change that immediately. So when I saw she's releasing an omegaverse dystopian romance under her pen name, Scarlett Finch? Suffice it to say I couldn't get on it quick enough. There is just something about the way this woman writes an MMC that is absolute chefs kiss. And she did not disappoint with Judge. Holy walking red flag and morally gray epicness!
When I tell you that I devoured this book, I mean I couldn't set it down from cover to cover. I was so wholly immersed in this world, that I dreaded finishing. And with good reason too, since that cliffhanger damn near killed me. But I digress. If you like hate lust, enemies to lovers vibes, fierce FMCs and morally gray MMCs, you'll need this in your life.
In the dystopian wasteland world, Omegas are a currency between powerful and corrupt alpha led gangs. It's like Mad Max meets romance sort of vibes and I was here for it. Diana has spent years hiding her Omega self by purchasing illegal suppressants that hide her true sent. In a desperate bid for more of the drugs, she stumbles into the crosshairs of one of the most dangerous alphas and a force to be reckoned with, Judge. Judge is the leader of the biker gang and notorious for his violence and ruthlessness. And she also just so happens to be his scent match. Sounds utterly delicious right? It really was!
This is very much a slow burn romance and I loved their chemistry filled journey. I also loved the way that Diana, while in impossible odds, doesn't back down and holds her ground against a man who makes grown men tremble in fear.
I haven't read as much omega verse romance and I have no idea why because this book hit the spot so well and so hard that now I'm craving more knotty times. But if you're looking for something dark, gritty, sizzling, with plenty of tension and deliciously fun banter, look no further.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go die a slow death until the sequel comes out on March 23.

⭐ 4.5 stars | 🔥 Spice: 3/5
Darling Diana had me locked in from the first chapter. Diana is an omega hiding her true nature, working as a nurse who quietly treats shifters in need. Her trips to the New Bunker become her cover, gathering medical supplies while also hunting down suppressants for herself and the vulnerable omegas in the Enclave where she lives. She blends in, stays small, stays smart… until Judge ruins every ounce of her careful planning.
Judge, the Dominion’s feared Alpha ruler, bans suppressants for everyone. And the moment he catches the scent she’s been fighting to hide? He snaps. He goes scorched-earth searching for the omega who turns out to be his fated mate, determined to shield her from Titan, the monster who collects omegas like breeding playthings for himself and his men.
Diana believes all Alphas are the same: cruel, controlling, obsessed with turning omegas into breeding machines. But Judge is nothing like the stories. He elevates omegas, protects them, treats them like respect when they find their mate, and gives the unmated ones freedom and safety in his territory. His gentleness with Diana, even while hiding her in the Omega House to keep Titan’s spies off her scent, was everything.
I need the second book immediately. This is a must-read for anyone who loves shifter romances, fated mates, obsessive Alphas, political danger, and worlds built with claws and teeth.
🗡️ Trope List:
🐺 Fated Mates
🩸 Alpha/Omega Dynamics
🔥 Obsessive, Overprotective Alpha

The world was shattered in the bloom, leaving behind a lawless wasteland where survival is the best anyone can hope for. Diana has spent years in hiding. As an Omega, she is always hunted, relying on suppressants to mask her scent from Alphas who exploit and abuse Omegas, treating them like property.
Working as a nurse at the Enclave, Diana is sent into the dangerous New Bunker to secure the suppressants the Enclave’s Omegas desperately need. What she finds instead is Judge, savage, ruthless, and marked by a dark intensity she cannot ignore. He is the Alpha leader of the Dominion biker gang and rules with absolute authority.
When Judge arrives at the Enclave asking questions, Diana believes her only hope is to run. What she does not know is that her scent has already caught his attention. It is instinctual, overwhelming, and possessive, and Judge will stop at nothing until he claims her as his mate.
Something about this read was so addictive. Maybe it was the dark, desolate dystopian world. Or maybe it was the damaged and scarred characters, or the heart-pounding story itself.
When Diana is captured, Judge has quite the challenge trying to prove his good intentions. Living this life for so long, trust does not come easy, and maybe not at all. Diana’s body cannot help but betray her base instincts, but that does not mean her heart has to be involved.
Judge is vicious and violent, no stranger to death and killing, yet he has become the Alpha leader while trying to keep Omegas safe, all while enforcing his rule without mercy. Now that he has found his scent match, his mate, he will do whatever it takes to keep Diana safe, even if it means acting against her will to ensure her protection.
I loved seeing them slowly, very slowly, start to open up and build a connection. It didn’t come easy, and the trust is still extremely delicate. But you see them beginning to allow the bond to take hold, imagining what it could be like, relaxing, and taking comfort in each other. And then that ending… ohhhh!! My heart was pounding, and my chest was in knots. I need to know what happens next! Book two cannot come soon enough!

In a dystopian wasteland, Diana has kept herself safe by hiding her omega nature. But when the leader of a nearby gang, Judge, discovers she's his scent match, her days of pretending to be a beta are over. Diana doesn't trust Judge, and doesn't really believe in scent matches. But Judge is willing to do whatever it takes to make her his, even use her biology against her.
Darling Diana is a dark omegaverse story with a lot of psychological warfare between the two main characters. Diana wants her freedom, and this desire truly colors all of her decision making. We spend the majority of the time from her perspective, but unfortunately do not learn exactly what horrifying thing happened between her and her family (though we do learn enough to have a general suspicion). The continued tension between her desire for freedom and her body's biological responses gives an intriguing dynamic throughout the book.
Judge is extremely calculating, and his position makes him have contingency plans for everything. He sees his connection to Diana as a weakness, but cannot allow her to live without his protection. He is truly obsessed with her, but unfortunately does a poor job of showing that to Diana. As he tries to control for every possible threat, he finds himself making unfortunate decisions. I actually wish we spent more time from Judge's point of view, somewhat because Diana spends a lot of time locked up in one way or another, but also to help give greater understanding to Judge's decision making. We do see some signs of the threats Judge is trying to mitigate, but a little more information for what exactly he's hoping to do with his plan would have been a little helpful. Instead, when the book ended on a bit of a cliffhanger, I was largely confused by what exactly Judge thought he was going to accomplish.
Overall, the book was a very interesting dark romance read with interesting world building and secretive characters. I look forward to reading the next book in the duology.

Before I start this review let me just start off by saying that it is imperative that you read those trigger warnings. If you don't, then enter at your own risk. LOL. This book is a total different vibe. The story takes place in a dystopian world caused by the "bloom", which the military had a hand in creating. As I read this story the world building kind of made me think of a Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome kind of world. In this world there are Alphas and there are Omegas. The Alphas dominate the Omegas in pretty much every way, but there are also good pairings of Omegas and Alphas known as Scent Matches. Oh yes, I didn't mention that the scent of another human being can quite literally determine how your life plays out. The scent of an Alpha and an Omega are EVERYTHING to them. Our FMC's name is Diana, who is an Omega. Diana has had a very hard time of it so far. She has spent the majority of her life on the run just so she does not become the property of some "Alpha-hole". Enter the MMC, Judge, who is THE Alpha. He is the head of a very large and dangerous gang. Judge is a MMC that you will literally loathe in the beginning and then a little more than half a way through the book you start to feel for Judge and I dare to say, like him and then by the end you hate him again. To say that the "relationship " between Diana and Judge, at times is complicated, would be an understatement. All Judge wants to do is control everything to do with Diana and all Diana wants is her freedom- or at least she thinks that's what she wants. I found this book to be a little slow in the beginning, but ooh baby just hang in there! Because then I couldn't put it down! It does leave you on a cliffhanger, just a warning. But I think the sequel is not too far behind this one, so not too long to wait. Good story and I had a fun time reading this one.

🖤 ARC Review 🖤
Darling Diana by Scarlett Finch
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
🌶🌶🌶
Tropes:
Omegaverse
Fated Mates
OTT/JP Alpha MMC
Strong FMC
Dystopian world
Let me start by saying I will read ANYTHING she writes, under this name and her other 😅 I also have not read too much omegaverse. I usually am turned off by the idea of the betas, but love a good alpha male in any story. I did not have the negative experience with betas in this one, so I call that a huge win!
I love the setting of this story/world, and believe that all of the marketing she did to advertise it as Mad Max, bikers, dystopian matched so perfectly. It was a really unique story concept for me!
I love our main characters as well. Diana is a strong woman who doesn't need a man! ... well, until she does (and she is definitely upset at herself for it). And as for Judge... we'll I am gonna need him to be on his hands and knees begging in the next book.
And that ending... yeah, I am gonna need the sequel STAT. I almost threw my Kindle across the room after that one.
Overall, this book kept me entertained, engaged, and I read through it really quickly. It was fast paced, and I felt surprised at everything that happened. I cannot say that any major lines/quotes stuck with me and were tugging at my heartstrings like I had hoped for. I would love to see more emotion pulled out of me in the next one.
Thank you endlessly to Scarlett Finch and team for providing me with the opportunity to read this one.

I usually am turned off by the idea of the betas, but love a good alpha male in any story. I did not have the negative experience with betas in this one, so I call that a huge win!
I love the setting of this story/world, and believe that all of the marketing she did to advertise it as Mad Max, bikers, dystopian matched so perfectly. It was a really unique story concept for me!
I love our main characters as well. Diana is a strong woman who doesn't need a man! ... well, until she does (and she is definitely upset at herself for it). And as for Judge... we'll I am gonna need him to be on his hands and knees begging in the next book.
And that ending... yeah, I am gonna need the sequel STAT. I almost threw my Kindle across the room after that one.
Overall, this book kept me entertained, engaged, and I read through it really quickly. It was fast paced, and I felt surprised at everything that happened. I cannot say that any major lines/quotes stuck with me and were tugging at my heartstrings like I had hoped for. I would love to see more emotion pulled out of me in the next one.
Thank you endlessly to Scarlett Finch and team for providing me with the opportunity to read this one.

Holy crap on a cracker, fudge nuggets and banana shenanigans! This was such an amazing read!
This is not a sweet lovestory, nor is it a pretty fairytale. It’s gritty, foul, angsty, dirty and dangerous. The story has it’s own take on the fated mates trope (scent matches), and I love it! It completely sucked me in from the very beginning and utterly wrecked me at the end.
I loved Diana and how she grew more feisty with each page I turned. Judge is a character you will love to hate, and he has some serious groveling to do in the next book if you ask me. The fear, the betrayal, the romantic suspense, it had me completely hooked. It’s so well written that I wasn’t sitting on my couch with a cup of tea, I was there in that attic with Diana.
At the end of the story Scarlett let’s us know that maybe she should have called the story “Dirty Diana”, because she feels like she did her readers dirty with that cliffhanger. Yes, Scarlett, yes you did! I have no idea what it feels like because (luckily) I do not have a nutsack, but I imagine this is what a nutpunch must feel like.
So when I say that I cannot wait for the next book, that’s an understatement. Luckily we do not have to wait too long, since book 2 is set to release on March 23. Making this the perfect birthday present for me, since that is actually my birthday. 💜

I am not a big omegaverse lover but this book right here had me pleasantly suprised. first lets get the obvious out of the way,
spice 3.5/5
there are some triggers so read authors notes… heavy on the body betryal but I loved every second of it.
The story is brilliant i feel l ike it revealed more with every chapter yet i still have so many questions.
The FMC had me on edge because I was hoping every second that SOMETHING would work out for her. What i loke about her that stand out from ither omegaverse FMC is she doesn't lose herself completely and isn't foolish just because of her omega genes. In this world she understands everything is to be questioned and nothing is to be trusted.
The MC is yummy and trouble. I have my doubts and distrust with him but I love how obsessed he is.
Overall would recommend this book to anyone that likes an omega with some bite and not just a give in type pf FMC. The only reason this isn't 5 stars is because I felt some parts with the world building needed better explanation, and could be better explained throughout the book not just towards the intro.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily

ARC Review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
First let me say, the enemies to lovers trope is one of my favorites! Throw in forced proximity/captivity and “fated mates” and you’re in for a wild ride! I love a good alpha male and this book gave me a literal one. The chemistry between FMC and MMC, with the banter? I couldn’t wait to see who would make the next move and how far they would go.
If you want a cliffhanger that’s going to have you rushing out to get the next book, then this is for you! I have my suspicions as to what’s going to happen so I’m going to just feign for the next few months until the sequel is released.
If there is anything I could say about this book that could use some improvement, it would just be maybe a little bit more world-building or just some insight into the backstory. I was a little confused about some of the alpha terminology (what is an echo?). Some of the details may have had a little more significance if I had a better understanding of what some of it meant.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Even with my not knowing what some of the things meant, it didn’t take away from the basis of the story.

I didn’t think I would ever be attracted to omegaverse, but I changed my mind. The concept of bonding, possessiveness, spice, and an established set of traits for a species is so attractive.
{Omegaverse dystopia; M/F; explicit open-door scenes; dual POV}
I love that Diana is a nurse after an apocalyptic collapse where society is rebuilding. She has spent years on suppressants and on the run with her best friend, Selene, a Beta. The two have a believable, strong sister vibe going on. I really like Selene.
The Dominion is one gang that has been conquering local areas. When their alpha arrives for healing, Diana reluctantly leaves to keep her freedom. But it’s too late. He recognizes her as his scent match, and nothing will keep her from him.
Expect chasing. Expect a captive romance. Expect wooing. Expect drugging. Expect gaslighting. Sometimes I absolutely hate how slowly Diana reacts, but her reactions match what an omega is supposed to have.
There is a cliffhanger, so I would wait until the next book is almost ready (March, 2026) before I would devour this.

**4.5 stars**
Wowowow what a story. I’ve read quite a few omegaverse books but this was my first dystopian/post apocalyptic story. I really liked it and I cannot wait for the next one! I’m enjoying the world building and the slow burn between Judge and Diana. I did find some parts a bit slow and skimmed some parts but wow that cliffhanger.
**spoilers ahead as a summary for myself when the 2nd book releases**
Set in a dystopian post apocalyptic world, Diana, a nurse, is an omega that is on suppressants to mask her omega scent. Omegas are not treated well in this world and are often treated poorly by Alphas. She travels to another territory to get more suppressants, but it turns out they are now banned by the leader of the Dominions: Judge. Judge realizes that him and Diana are scent matches and needs to keep her safe from his enemies. Diana wants nothing to do with him but she eventually starts to trust him. It ends with another omega,
Rebecca, tells Diana the truth of what Judge is really up to, or so she is lead to believe. Rebecca helps Diana escape. It ends with Judge realizing that Rebeca’s alpha is the one that is the mole to his greatest biggest threat, Titan.

I really wanted to love this. And there are parts that I really enjoyed. The omegaverse is fairly new for me and I was actually quite fascinated with it all. I really liked all of that. My favorite genre is fantasy so I've read a lot. For this book, I was a little overwhelmed in the beginning because it felt like I jumped in mid conversation. Alot of gang names were dropped, a lot of locations were dropped and it had me feeling a bit overwhelmed. On top of that, this is supposed to be a dystopian, which is another genre I love and yet there is hardly any world building. The characters were okay but I didn't connect to them because I didn't know them. There's no back story or any insight into the main character so I don't feel like I really know her. Same with the mmc. From the very beginning they are just put into action and for me, there wasn't enough personal info for me to connect with them.
Overall, I liked the omegaverse stuff, being a newbie to it, I think that was the most interesting part of the book.

This is my very first Omegaverse that I have completely finished. The scent match gives me fated mates vibes and I am digging that! Then mix in Motorcycle Club and distopian world and I got sucked right in.
Our MMC Judge realizes how important Omagas are to returning the world to some kind of order. That without them Alphas don't have something to focus on, making the world a safer place for all. But my man has secrets in his closet and I NEED to know what they are. And of course all this comes to fruition at the end with that cliffy!!! Ugh!!!!
Come on March, I have questions that need answered!
Our FMC Diana is a nurse and Judge's scent match. However, omegas aren't safe, and all she wants is to get rid of being an omega. Dought she should be trusting this witch doctor but we shall see. Honestly, I went back and forth between yas you bad ass and ugh you are annoying!! Lol!
After this book I pretty much trust no one and am in desperate need of book 2.

Deliciously dark,intense and utterly addictive
My 1st time reading from this author and i'm absolutely impressed.
In a dystopian world where the most basic intincts rule,alphas are ruthless and omegas are in the bottom.
Diana is a nurse and also an omega hiding behind supressants the last ten years.
Judge is the ruthless lider of Dominion and in a twisted way wants to protect the omegas.
I'm not going to resume the story because it would spoil the fun,you really need to dive in because it will blow your mind,it's as good as it is!
The tension ,the banter,the clash of wills and chemistry between the characters are absolutely delicious.
Well written,a rich world building, a complex and engrossing plot and characters well developed that steal your heart.
Ends in a maddening cliffhanger but it was so good that left me super hypped for the next one!

Holy Dark Omegaverse!!
Realease day is TOMORROW, December 12!!!
Where to start? I was obsessed with this story before I even started with the sneak peaks from the author, then I started reading and it became a necessity to indulge more into the world. It's a dystopia omegaverse with hidden omegas, biker packs, mates, and pack wars.
The scent matching and masking is interesting and the dynamics between characters is something I didn't realize I needed.
It does end on a cliffhanger, but the second book comes out March 2026! It's so close yet so far!!
Highly recommend for those who enjoy dark, red flag MMCs, dystopia, caught FMC, age gap, spice, and knotty-ness. Definitely take note of trigger warnings.
I received this as an eARC and I am so grateful and thankful to @scarlettfinchauthor for the opportunity!

Spice: 5/5
Genre: Omegaverse, Dystopian, Dark Romance,
Content Warnings: Violence and lots of other specific ones, makes sure to read the author’s warnings.
I received an advance review copy and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Thoughts:
Darling Diana by Scarlett Finch evokes the gritty, high-octane energy of Mad Max while immersing readers in a dystopian omegaverse setting, as other readers have mentioned. This story thrives in the morally grey areas. Where one might see a hero in Judge, others might see a villain in himr instead. The pacing is relentless, which amplifies the sense of urgency but can occasionally leave gaps that feel like missing pieces of a larger puzzle. One we can only hope to find in the sequel to this book. If you’re craving a non-stop, action fueled narrative with grit and morally grey characters, Darling Diana will not disappoint.

I have read a lot of fated mates romances, but Darling Diana really sets itself apart. The world building in unique. Mad Max meets Mate without the shifting, leaves the reader dying to know what happens to Judge and Diana.
Diana is a strong independent fmc who just wants to find her own happiness without societal pressure.
Judge is a domineering power house of a MMC who demands obedience. What happens when their worlds collide? Will they find happiness or only bring each other suffering?
I loved their story and can't wait for book two. I just wish there had been some more monetum for the ending and more of Diana's hinted at backstory.

Thank you to the author for the eARC.
4.5 stars.
Dark omegaverse? (yes please).
Darling Diana is dystopian, in a world where alpha gangs basically rule the underworld, and omegas are kind of currency. Diana has been hiding her omega status forever, but with the restriction of suppressant drugs, she’s running out of time. And to her dismay, the leader of the gang she’s running from smells her scent—and ope she’s a scent match to Judge.
Judge definitely seems like a bad buy, but there are things happening behind the scenes we’re all unaware of. Judge is scheming to get Diana on his side, to get her to want a bond with him. But Diana is stronger than he thinks, and I love their enemies-to-lovers like banter. The literal push and pull between them is so spicy and steamy.
The ending was a doozy, and I can’t wait to see how everything will get resolved in the conclusion of the duology. Fingers crossed for some grovel!

4.5 stars!
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I enjoyed this book! I liked Diana and Judge as characters as well as Serena - Diana’s friend. I would have liked to have seen more from Serena and we hopefully will in the sequel!
The chemistry between the two main characters was great as was the spice!
I liked the world building too, I would have liked more on why the world is the way it is in the book. It’s almost post-apocalyptic. Quite different to other omegaverse books I’ve read!
I also didn’t like the miscommunication right at the end, as it’s my most hated trope, but that was right at the end.
It didn’t take me long to finish this book and I can’t wait to read the sequel!

Wow..... I'm stunned by home much I enjoyed reading this book. Diana and Judge definitely get off on the wrong foot, and seeing them work to get past that is rewarding. I read this book in two sittings, and it is super binge-able.
This is a dark romance, and the trigger warnings are there for a reason. That being said, the spicy moments really pop, and the dark moments make the lighters ones really shine. I can't wait to see how Diana's and Judge's relationship goes in the next book. But I'm also hoping we'll get to see more of this world. This is just book one, and I'm hungry for more.
Thanks to the author for letting me be a part of the ARC team. I am so grateful for the opportunity, even if it means I'm waiting even longer for the sequel.

This Omegaverse is for the dark romance girlies! The ones who see MMCs lock up their FMCs and think, "wow this sounds amazing" haha. Judge was someone I loved to häte. My feminist card flew out the window and I didn't feel a need to run and get it back. This world is so dark but the main secret ingredient for a delicious Omegaverse (that the alpha is devoted and takes care of his omega) is 1000% there. And Diana, oo baby! Shes is the perfect omega! She wont submit to just any alpha. I devoured this couple and this world.. that cliffhanger was absolutely diabolical and I've been screaming for the end of this duology for what feels like ever. Thank you Scarlett Finch for letting me Beta for you! ❤️

I very much enjoyed this. I know, I say that about OV a lot… Like other reviews said, this was something a little different. It was post apocalypse, Mad Max-esque with a hint of unknown. Be prepared, there was one heck of a cliffy! I am looking forward to reading part two.
FMC Diana: she is an omega that wants that part of her removed. In this new society, Omegas aren’t treated well by anyone. (or so she thinks.) She’s expecting the worst so she fights tooth and nail against the O/A dynamic.
MMC Judge: Do I like him? Do I hate him? Is he a bad guy masquerading as a good guy or a good guy masquerading as a bad guy? He certainly has the possessive and growly Alpha vibes that we all love…
I’m hoping to learn a little more backstory about these characters in book two.
