Patient #496. Jinx Blackwood. Gemini. They said I was missing. Swapped. Unfit to serve Fate’s design.
But Fate made a mistake. I was never meant for the world outside. I belong in the dark.
Six years ago, I was stolen from Ravenscroft Asylum and dumped into a life meant for my twin sister. But now I’ve clawed my way back to where I truly belong— the haunted halls, the blood-soaked beds, and the underground cages they swore I’d never return to. Because I didn’t come back for answers.
I came back for them.
Four alphas bred for violence, broken by design, and bound to me in a way the world would never understand.
They’re not heroes. They’re not saviors. They are monsters.
Riot —Aries— the Reaper of Rot, with a grin that tastes like vengeance and fists that never learned mercy. Sable —Scorpio— the Silent Judge, whose silver tongue has sentenced better men to madness. Corvus —Aquarius— the Blood Prophet, who sees too much and feels nothing at all. Ash —Capricorn— my Scarred Saint, who burns through everyone—except me.
They were locked away for a reason. Now I’m the reason they’ll rise. But nothing about this return is clean.
There are new rules in place, new devils running the asylum—and I might be the worst of them all. This time, I’m not leaving without my monsters.
Let the Parazodiac Nexus tremble—because I’ve returned not as a patient, but as a reckoning. And every lock, every lie, every bastard who thought I’d stay buried in someone else’s story? They’re about to learn what happens when madness finds its way home.
Enter the brutal world of Knot Their Fated M.U.S.E. a 150,000-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.
So remember when I said in my review of the first book that I was choosing to see the potential? Well it turns out I was wrong and this did not get better. Granted I got 9% into the audiobook but still.
The robotic writing was a choice. I know this author is probably trying to differentiate the sisters by giving them night and day personalities. I also know this author is capable of writing normally because she did it perfectly fine in the first book. The writing was giving me a headache is all I’m saying.
Because if said headache I decided to read a review or two to see if it would be worth it. Turns out it’s not. Apparently it doesn’t get better than what we got in the last book. It’s too bad too because the overall plot of this series sounds SO good! The execution just isn’t there. So I’m calling it here. I’m glad I chose to see the potential but disappointed I ended up being wrong. You win some you lose some, I guess!
So this story answered some of the remaining questions from book one but was far more annoying.
Although the only reason it wasn’t left as DNF was because I hate not finishing a book.
Save your self the annoyance and don’t bother reading it. It only got a two because I liked the idea behind the story, But the execution of it is truly awful.
The stories are disjointed and do not flow well and the language used is truly awful and very repetitive…
The repetition is really annoying as it puts you off reading it. There is one character who was a judge and is now having to make judgements on others - great we know that … so the author does not need to keep reminding us. Yet they repeat the word judicial 156 times; analytical 54 times; institutional 756 times; Protocol 168 times; tactical 723, enhanced 440 times and systematic 599 times. I could go on, but you get the picture.
Consider the annoyance when a saucy scene appears and you settle into reading it … only for the language and repetition to make it so disjointed it’s like pulling teeth.
To be honest I skipped the last 50-100 pages or so and finished it off with the last chapter … so to avoid you the stress I went through … Junx goes back to the centre instead of her sister, initially starved and dehydrated, she then makes a deal to try to escape again by going through the maze and reconnecting with her pack … She manages it and they all live HEA.
The End
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Read both books. Still confused as to what the point was really. 80% of the book focused on Jinx and Riot, telling their back story without really explaining anything. Sable was really the only one whose backstory kind of made sense, but the Ash shows up talking about the maze they will have to get through. The next chapter is Jinx and Ash consummating their bond…um where are the other two and how did they get through the maze? Then Corvus whom I’m not positive I like. Then the guys are all outside while she’s stuck inside and realizes she needs to go get Maverick who actually was trapped inside in the basement?? She just knew that because he what managed to put it in braille knowing she would sit in the exact spot? Really seemed like a lot of disjointed stories that aren’t explained but other details go on and on and on. Had to skim parts because it was overload without really saying anything of value. How many times was the word systematically used??
This story is just weird. The entire world construct and plot don't make sense. It needs a lot more clarification, but instead we're tossed into a very dark book one to follow Nyx as she's bizarrely tortured for the last six years. It's never really clear what the purpose of the experiment is? To change omegas? Then she is rescued by her pack and is fight, fight, fight. But when threatened by the bad guy, Press, she just caves? Kill him! You're all supposed to be these bad guy alphas. Then book two her twin sister pops in and goes into the facility voluntarily, but in hopes of rescuing her pack of alphas. It's never really explained who Press is and why he has power? Why were they in the facility in the first place? Just too confusing. The writing style is a bit pedantic, without saying anything.
This book is written as a science fiction ish omegaverse. But unfortunately the author uses the exact same phrases and words over and over. At 60% I had to skim. In the beginning there's actually 2 exact same paragraphs from 2 different characters pov. Just badly don't. But I'm still giving 3* for plot.
This book is so good, it is a wild ride and what the fmc goes through is rough sometimes with medical experimentation. I just wish we got to see more of her with the guys it was just at the very end. But the whole story of Nyx is very interesting and twisted. Definitely a read. Would be 5 stars if more time with the guys.
I really wanted to like this story, but a lot of the dialogue (mostly internal dialogue) was repetitive and and felt like it was trying a bit too hard to be scientific/logical/almost robotic.
This author is trying too hard. Prose is trite and overused. Constant repetition of syntax every few lines is quite irritating, and detracts from storyline (which “was” entertaining).
Alls well that ends well in the end Jinx does get her HEA. There are parts that read like a sex ed manual. I plugged on in the end we found out who Maverick is. That was the best part for me.
What a great 2 book series. Book 1 had be captivated and then to fall into Book 2 was hard to put down. The only thing missing was what happened to NYX and her Alphas and did the Parazodiac finally crumble once Jinx made it out. Just kinda felt hanging there with the question "What now".
Just a lot of the same stuff said over and over and over. Got to a point where I could skim a lot because of the repetitive of “enhanced” the first book I liked, but it still left a lot of unanswered questions. Feels uncomplicated.
