The trafficking hub broke me, but I escaped. Now I'm putting the pieces of my life back together one by one with my Rickon, the sweetheart who accepts everything I am, and Zack, the feral who's as broken as I am but desperate to please.
Callisto, the alpha who rejected me, says he regrets his decision. While I long to embrace him, can I trust a man who crushed my heart? I'm thinking about taking him back, but we both forgot one crucial factor—I'm no longer a lone omega. It's not only me who has a say in this fragile pack, and one of my alphas isn't convinced.
I can't be sure if the lawyer's sincere or just trying to save his career, because the court case for my abusers approaches, and I don't think I can bear to re-live those memories. What if I lose control again?
Some omegas don't get their fairy tale endings; especially those who tow a dangerous alpha around on a leash.
Author The Feral Actress will be a THREE-BOOK series. This is book 2. Read Wild Omega first. MM, abuse, insane alpha/s, captivity, violence, mental disorders, non con and dub con. Features a strong-willed omega who doesn't have to choose and men who also choose each other.
Sierra Knoxly lives a double life. By day she is a reserved mom of young children where adventure means a walk to the park or trip to the pool. Once night falls and the cherubs are tucked into bed, Sierra dons armour (and amor) and rides a dragon into battle. She rains chaos down on her characters like an avenging angel of old and shoots their hearts with cupid's bow.
Sierra writes fantasy polyam romances with bi-sexual characters and plenty of MM. She started out thinking she was writing reverse harem, but couldn’t resist all the tasty possibilities between an intimate group of people.
Her love of mythical beasts and magic began at a young age. She once had an imaginary unicorn friend. Her gentle nature and fiery imagination leads to all around fictional steam. She lives with a mild fear that one day she'll get a knock at the door from the authorities come to ask about her questionable browser history. When not writing or momming, Sierra loves bringing plants home to die and reading a reverse harem novel under a warm blanket.
This was as good as the first book which I didn't write a review on but this book made me so upset. Callisto messed up but the lack of forgiveness was annoying. All of them have gone through their own forms of trauma and they sought redemption and forgiveness but didn't want to extend it to Calli. He tried so hard throughout the first and second book. The constant reminder that he chose work over Red at the very beginning especially when he didn't know who she was, gave her his credit card info, got her in touch with his best friend cause she said she wanted an agent AND he was rushing off to begin a case that had to do with her situation. I mean come on....this character isn't the asshole they tried to make him out to be. And because of his mistake, everyone just took full advantage of him, his skills and his money, even his home. I thought the feelings that developed between Zach, Red, and Rickon were beautiful. It would have been nice if Calli could have received more of that and wasn't forced to heal on his own. The book is great though and I am looking forward to book 3 to see how it all wraps up.

I have to say that I think this book was even better than Feral Omega. I know that I cried more in this book then I did in the first. And then that moment when Ray got what he deserved… that was the supreme moment.
I loved watching Red grow, develop, and start to thrive in this whole new world and it’s been so incredibly worthwhile.
Rickon…I have to say that this guy is such a cutie. I just loved how I loved how Sierra gave us someone who wasn’t the typical stereotypical looking Alpha who’s so central to the entire pack. I know a lot of authors who try and convey all the men in their books as strong with their own certain but distinct types of personality, soft or thoughtful being one of those personalities, but I honestly feel like often times those men end up feeling like they end up being less than the author intended, and sadly that comes down to the authors writing.
At this point I feel like Rickon feels pivotal to the story, he’s not a secondary character, and he’s far from forgotten, he’s very much needed. I honestly love his character so much and I can honestly say that I wish there were more characters like him in other books. It seems like the current craze is towards to big, broody, silent, shadow daddy and Rickon is completely the opposite of that.
Zack, now Zack just comes off a pure hotness with the way that he dresses in his suit and of course he exudes this feral alpha energy all while wearing a collar. And when he gets out of that vehicle and starts to assess the area for threats before even allowing Red to step foot out of the vehicle let alone reaching out a hand for her…it had me melting. I can honestly say that Zack is a total thirst trap.
Zack is a walking contradiction when you see him being co-operative outside of the house and yet when he’s at home, he is completely savage. And I love that physically he’s the biggest Alpha of the trio, but at the same time mentally he knows that he’s really not. I appreciate that Zack sees the strength of character and will in Rickon, it’s almost like in Zack’s eyes Rickon is this mythical beast that’s been sent to tame the world around him, and in Zack’s eyes Rickon has abilities that far exceed his own.
Now, I do actually find Callisto to be rewarding, but it’s not for the reasons that you think. Red’s never caved in to him at any point in time like he thought she would. And we all know that typically Omega’s and all FMCs will give in to an MMC rather quickly, and yet, here we are on book 2, and Callisto still isn’t welcome in the pack, and honestly in my opinion, that’s all his own fault. And the best part is the mindset behind it all, Red doesn’t love him, and it’s that she genuinely doesn’t love him. Red hesitated in her feelings out of obligation, not out of some misguided or some hidden attraction, she managed to set those very quickly aside.
Red was ready, willing, and had her arms open to him and would have been happy to fall in love with him completely if only he had accepted her from the very beginning, but when he rejected her right away, and then all his attempts to reconcile and win Red back have just been surface level and half-hearted, Callisto remains on the outside of the pack.
I honestly found it so delicious to see Rickon and Red put their mutual attraction towards Callisto aside, ignoring their scent match with Callisto and refusing it to outweigh their reasoning. Callisto is a good Alpha; he just has this horrid selfish attitude at the end of the story. And until he changes his mindset he doesn’t deserve a second chance from anyone in the pack. Thankfully for Callisto, we are starting to see the start of some real, believable, honest, physical, and intelligent character growth. You can see that Callisto is learning the hard way, but what’s important he’s learning. And if he continues down this path, I will stand by him.
I love this book, and I am loving this series. I love books like this as I love easy reads that have good, believable characters with actual character growth and interesting spicy moments. And Sierra has given us just that in this series and in this 2nd book.
If you enjoy a great Omegaverse story, with great character growth and development, believable characters, and stunning and hot spice, then Your Wild Omega and The Feral Actress is the book and series that you’ve been searching for.
I love Red! She’s unpredictable and after the end of book 1 with the breaking out of her feral alpha, she has added to her pack. Although they’re all different, they all fit together. I’m still waiting for her to forgive Callisto, but only time will tell. She has grown so much since book one and is taking back her life and proving she’s not a pushover omega. Lots of spi ce, lots of drama, lots of learning each other. After that cliffhanger, I can’t wait for book 3. I need them whole!!
Based off how I feel after finishing this second book: it’s amazing! Even better than the first.
I cried three times.
The satisfaction I felt when Ray got his comeuppance…supreme.
Seeing Red grow and thrive in this new world has been so worthwhile.
Rickon…what a babe. I cannot express how happy it makes me seeing someone who isn’t a stereotypical looking Alpha be so central to the pack. I know many authors try and convey the men as strong with a certain but distinct type of personality, with soft or thoughtful being one of those, but imo those men turn out feeling like less, and that’s all down to the authors writing. Rickon feels pivotal. He’s not a secondhand character. He’s not forgotten. He’s needed. I legitimately love Rickon’s character so much, I wish there were more like him in today’s books. Currently one of the trend is the big, broody, silent, shadow daddy. Rickon is the opposite. I also think an honourable mention needs to go to these corsets of his because dayum. I found a dude on instagram who models corsets and it’s the hottest thing around. The way it pulls in his waist and accentuates his 🍑…Thank you internet. It’s all I envision now 😍
Zack just comes off HOT. When he dresses in a suit and emits feral alpha energy while wearing a collar, a bloody COLLAR! 😩 When he gets out of the vehicle and assesses the area for threats before reaching a hand out for her…I just want to melt into a puddle and die. Total thirst trap. Seeing the dichotomy of him being compliant outside but savage at home 🤤 . More than all that, I love that physically he’s the biggest Alpha, but mentally he knows that he’s not. I love that he sees the strength of character and will in Rickon, almost like Rickon is some mythical beast sent to tame this world, with abilities far beyond his own.
Callisto is also rewarding, but for an unusual reason. Red never caved to him. That in itself has bumped my rating of this book up significantly. The fmc’s always cave so quickly, yet we have gone through TWO books here and Callie still isn’t welcomed in. The best part though is the mindset behind it. Red genuinely doesn’t love him. She only hesitated out of obligation, not misguided or hidden attraction, and those were quickly set aside. She could have and would have loved him wholeheartedly if he had accepted her straight away, but because he rejected her in the beginning, and his attempts to reconcile have been surface level and mediocre, he’s on the outs. Oh my goodness it was so gratifying seeing Rickon and Red putting aside their attraction to him and not letting the fact that he’s a scent match outweigh all reasoning. He’s a good alpha, but with a terribly selfish attitude, end of story. He doesn’t deserve a second chance till his mindset changes. Luckily for him we’re seeing believable, honest, physical, and intelligent character growth. He’s learning the hard way, but he is learning. I’m ready to stand by him now, if he continues on this trajectory.
Is this book out of this world perfect? No. I can say that it is doing it for me though. I wanted a relatively easy read, with good, believable characters (and corresponding growth), and interesting spicy scenes. Yes, yes, and yes. The spice has been gorgeous
I have to admit that, although I am enjoying this trilogy and the story, in this book I got so bored all over the place. There didn't seem to be much direction, and it turned into all sex all the time.
I"m loving seeing everything progressing between the characters, but it got to the point where they were having sex every other page, so I started skimming over the sexy times. Don't get me wrong, I do like my smut, but it outnumbers the actual story in here. They were constantly having sex, whether they were in public or not.
This book could have easily been pared down by 100 pages or so. I also feel like the plot could have been a little better defined. Although, that may end up coming naturally by eliminating some of the sex they are always having.
And now, with that cliffhanger, I have the feeling things are going to turn into a big conspiracy going on. What I really hope to see is that someone actually investigates the alpha rehap people. They aren't doing anything. The characters all suspect it, but nobody does or really says anything. How many more have been euthanized simply because they got lazy?
Okay. I'm processing what just happened. Wow. Wow. Wow. The story continues and just wow. I'm ready to lose sleep and devour the next book. Do not continue reading the review if you have not read book 1. My contain spoilers..... My heart aches for Callisto. I can't believe he's still on the outs looking in. He's taken accountability of his actions and is truly trying to change and make amends in life. Not just with the Jones Pack but with all the important people in his life. Red is a fighter. She deserves her HEA and just when you think things are looking up.. boom. Explosion. Her life her upturned again. Poor Red. Im ready for her HEA. Rickon. Oh Ricky. He is the glue of this pack. So selfless and caring. He's just what the pack needs. And Zack. Zack Zack Zack. He stole my heart the moment I met him. Advancing in a world he doesn't know. Trying to navigate and succeeding until a massive regression. Sabotaged. My angry on his account and ready for his redemption as well. Sierra... Queen... what are you doing to me. Love it and never stop.
I’m writing this about the whole trilogy. I wanted to wait until I finished it.
I love this kind of dark approach to the omegaverse. I love the rehabilitation of feral alphas (I STRONGLY recommend reading the prequel first. I had doubts before reading it but having finished the trilogy, I think it is very important)
I’m left with an overall sense of enjoyment for the trilogy BUT I admit that 66% of the way through book 2, I was exhausted. IMO the story the trilogy was telling could’ve been told in 2 books. There was so much extra *stuff* (like Rickon’s family. No spoilers). That felt very unnecessary in a story full of other drama and surprises. I couldn’t fathom how there was another book when I was ready to stop reading midway through book 2.
So my overall feelings for these books: 1: I liked the author’s POV and her writing style. The characters are very likeable and they feel different from each other. I definitely will read more of her stuff going forward!!!
2: it could have been pared down. Sometimes more is just more.
This is part two of Red’s story, picking up right where book one left off—and it does not disappoint. Red remains an incredible, unpredictable character, and her growth since the first book is impossible to miss. She’s reclaiming her life, finding her strength, and proving once and for all that she’s no pushover omega.
The story is packed with spice, drama, and the messy, emotional process of learning one another while navigating shifting power dynamics. Every interaction feels charged, and the tension keeps the pages turning.
Filled with twists, big emotions, and plenty of heat, this installment delivers on every level. And that ending? The cliffhanger absolutely wrecked me—in the best way.

I'm contemplating to DNF this book, read about 76%
But I just can't handle these characters anymore They had some cute moments (like chapter 20, Zack "Zazu" not a morning person) I thought that maybe Rickon would step up and be the Alpha for the pack, but he seems to become a true wimp/submissive. And Callisto is not even trying to win Red back to be part of the pack.
And I'm really starting to mis Rose's pack, now those were some great mate characters, far better than these from Red's pack! So when you add all of these complaints together, that's not great for the reading mood to try to continue reading this book. So I think I have answered my DNF question with a Yes, DNF
SUCH an amazing book!!! Yet another amazing addition to Sierra's Feralverse -- and to Red's tale! The smut is *chef's kiss*. The drama is so high up in the sky that I was hovering on the edge of my seat during the entire book. And then the TENSION between specific characters had me screaming and banging my head against the wall. I was feeling ALL the emotions for this book. This was such an amazing roller coaster ride and I am SO happy that I own paperbacks, because I will be rereading this book many times for years to come!
Buckle up, y'all. Red's journey is continuing with all the amazing twists and turns!
Ok, I am all for a good omegaverse/polycule pack story, but this series took the darker side of extra-human biology rather way far for me. Is it too far for you, too? I invite you to carefully examine the text and decide for yourself. Kuddos on the author's dedication, though: "On a more serious note, this one’s for all those who’ve clawed their way back from the brink, dug themselves out of a hole, or climbed out of a chasm.".

Book 2 of The Feral Actress series. Must read the previous book before this one for maximum enjoyment.
'Features a strong-willed omega who doesn't have to choose and men who also choose each other.'
The characters continue to grow and develop. Plot evolves and hooks the reader. World building continues to excel and impress. All in all a great addition to the series. Enjoyed immensely and highly recommend.
Grab a copy, kick back and enjoy!.

This book had me at the first page. I could not put it down. I will say this book has everything. Red is a unapologetic omega who is now trying to get her life back. I read the second book first lol and I will read the third book next because I have to know what happens next. Then the first I know that is backwards but I need to know. I love the characters Zack is the cutest thing ever. The plot was good and spice was HOT!!! I NEED MOORE!!!! I can't wait to read about what happens next.

This continuation of Red's story and her formation of a pack with Richon and Zach was amazing. I laughed and cried. I was absolutely pulled in emotionally when Richon's story about how he was abandoned came out. I loved the courtroom scene! The cliffhanger, omg was fabulous, I can't wait to find out what happens next!!! Question, what was the smoke bomb made of? I got to know!!!!
First book was great. This second book compliment it. The charachters growth. The story line. The plot. The segs scenes. The angst and drama. I. Love. Every. Second. Of. It. Until. The. Very. Cliffy!!!.

I love this story. Red is fiery as usual, but Rickon has his usual flare and Callisto learns about life lessons. The one that really comes alive in this book is Zack. He learns so quickly and make the role of Red’s alpha his own. There are some major shocks and changes in the pack dynamic that make this book pivotal to the story. This is a must-read book.
I liked this one more than the first book. However there is just so much unnecessary filler in these books. This could have easily been 300 pages, instead of 500. Again once we got to the 70% mark was when I started to really enjoy the book and the endings are always fantastic. The plot when we actually get to it is a really good story line, I just wished we focused on it more.
I really enjoyed the first book. I went into it thinking that it was a standalone and I am so glad i was wrong. This was a really well done book for showing anxiety and trauma/trauma responses. I am falling more in love with these characters and I really want to start the next book immediately!
This story just keeps getting better and better. And that cliffhanger, broke my heart. I cannot wait to find out what happens. This is the middle book in the series, so it's best to read them in order.
So this is the second book in the feral actress series and honestly I can't get enough. Already devoured the first one and done the second and third in succession. I absolutely love this series as a whole. The writing is on point, characterdevelopment is good and the story just is phenomenal.
This is the second book in the series. I'm still liking the characters and the story, but felt that there was less progression plot-wise. It ended in a cliffhanger and I can't wait for the series finale.

Somehow I ended up reading the books out of order. I read the first one, then the third, now the second. With that said, I still thoroughly enjoyed these books. They were definitely written to hit all of your emotions..

Story intertwined with her previous books. Great job with character growth and development. Story is gripping and well written. Spicy as well but focusing on Red and Zack's recovery as well as Rick on and Callisto overcoming their personal demons.
ZACH MY BELOVED!!!!!!!!! It was amazing to have the “feral” POV with this book series (vs. Rose’s). I really think unique perspectives are where Sierra Knoxley’s writing excels.
His character is amazing and I’m obsessed with their pack dynamics (Red, Rickon, and Zach) I love them and how they ~see~ each other and accept each other where they are.
And somewhat predictably Callisto is growing on me.
*spoilers*
I loved the way that alpha-to-alpha bonding was written. A really cool lore piece that in SK’s universe the alphas have a sort of mental alpha presence that has to battle/balance each other for the bond to work.
ALSO WHAT A DERANGED ENDING 🧗♀️ (a cliffhanger too lol)
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
I absolutely love love love Sierra Knoxly. Her omegaverse books are amazing!!! Your Wild Omega is the second in the series of 3. Red is an intriguing strong female Omega whose is rejected by her first alpha, finds her second alpha and instantly falls in love. In this story Red goes on a journey to find her third alpha. She finds him at the same time that her newly found acting career is taking off. Warning this book ends in a cliffhanger but you can choose to stop near the end and wait for the third book to come out. This is a great series by Knoxly. So good I read it twice.
Your Wild Omega by Sierra Knoxly is book two of three of Red's story (or 0-11). It was the ultimate palate cleanser for me since I thoroughly enjoyed book one and was in a huge book hangover/slump, but this pulled me right out. I have no complaints.
Polyamorous| Strong FMC | "not your traditional pack" vibes, and I'm here for it!
The story is: -Fast-paced plot -Funny and exciting. Red, the fmc, always kept me on my toes with her unpredictable behavior -Cozy and filled my heart with joy with how Red cared for her alphas and protected what's hers. -Raw. With how many times people laid themselves bare and vulnerable, growing into a happy, healthy person, it was inspiring and kept me rooting for the pack. - A bumpy road. Not all bonds are easy, and not all paths in life are easy. Each character is flawed, and it shows. The relationship developments are all over to fit each person's pace; it's genuine. -Filled with love. This is a true polyamorous relationship. The FMC is at the center often, but Rickon, the other alpha, has as much time and attention from the alpha and his omega. The story has multiple POV's and it feels equal. The omega doesn't have more time or feel more loved just cause she's an omega. Everyone feels the love and attention in the story. ('cept for one, but he only has himself to blame).
If you enjoy an omegaverse with untraditional roles in a pack, strong main characters, and feral alphas who constantly lay their claim every five minutes while protecting you at all costs, then this book is for you. It addresses many heavy and dark topics, so check the TW. This story offers a perfect balance of rejected/grovel, ride-or-die alphas, and a journey toward reaching your goals while healing. The character development is top-tier!
