Against the Hollow

by Jaeger Rose

These alphas are not redeemable.
No omega has the power to change them.

Evangeline

They claim to have saved me. But what they call salvation looks more like a prison.

Revenant, the pack alpha and the authoritarian.

Fox, the doctor, quiet and calculated.

Mayhem, the anchor with a calm undercurrent of chaos.

Playing their mind games, I bide my time, waiting for my opportunity to flee.

I fight them at every turn. Returning to my life, back to dancing, is the only thing that matters.

Will I reclaim my freedom before I lose myself to my base instincts? After all, an omega has needs that only a pack of alphas can fulfill.

I regret reading this book. It wasn't until 84% that the head alpha agreed he wouldn't have sex with her against her will. I almost dnf multiple times, but I've read all of Jaeger's books and kept plugging along hoping that at some point I wouldn't hate these guys and this 'relationship.' No such luck. The only reason she comes to accept her place with these guys is because they're the least bad option. The warning at the beginning of the book is really not strong enough. The nonconsensual sex is between the main characters, not just the trafficked ones. The MMCs are despicable. They change their perspective on omegas changes a smidge at the very end, but Jesus. I read a lot of dark romance, a lot of worlds where omegas don't have a lot of rights, but usually the MMCs aren't this awful to the other omega and their relationship makes sense at the end. This book isn't a 'dark romance,' it's just dark. I feel like I need a shower to wash this away.

Literally flew through this book because it is sooo good! I had a time of my life reading this because it puts such a unique spin on fated mates and pack formation in the shifter/omegaverse universe.

It’s quite cool that the omegas and alphas find mates according to how intense an omega’s skin glow and how much her alphas can shroud that glow with their shadows! Isn’t that so cool??

I loved the characters! We actually get to know each alpha and their different personalities. Sometimes in a why choose, the men almost lose personalities until they blend together but NOT in this book.

Each alpha is distinct from each other and they’re all so interesting!

The omega here, Evangeline, is really strong after everything she’s been through and I honestly just really like her.

She makes smart choices according to her circumstances and she really managed to break in those alphas without them even realizing it 🤭🤭🤭

I love love love their pack!!! I do kinda always have a favorite in a why choose tho and Fox would always have my heart. I adore him the most!

I definitely love that the “bad guys” stayed bad except they’re now completely obsessed with her!

I honestly can’t wait to read more of this world.

I hated this book so much. One of her mates uses his bark to force her to pee and humiliate her and this after they rape her and cause her extreme pain. I won't soften it by saying non con. It's rape. By her so called mates. I knew there was non con/rape but stupidly assumed it wouldn't be by her mates. They also forced the bond on her with the excuse of saving her and when she awakens they just kind of seem to expect her to roll with it and be fine. They use that bond and her pain to continue to humiliate and rape her. And what is the obsession with making her pee herself repeatedly? I guess to make her feel shame and like she is a dog? Hard pass on this author. I'm convinced some authors hate women.

Oh this book is dark and the MMCs are unhinged and obsessed and make no apologies for who they are!

I loved the unique take on an omegaverse book with the characters being able to shift and shadow shift. They also match based on glowing and shadows and not so much scent. I thought it was really interesting and it added more layers to these characters.

Evangeline has been through a lot and she finds herself packed up with three alphas she can’t stand. She is so strong and fierce and absolutely gives everything she gets right back to her alphas. She also has some tough truths and secrets to uncover…will she ever get back to dancing?

Rev, Fox, and Mayhem are the definition of unhinged and OTT. All three of them definitely got under my skin and at point I didn’t know if I loved them or hated them or even how this could end in a HEA - but have no fear, it may be hard fought but our pack gets there…in one way or another!

I definitely enjoyed some of the personalities in the MC and really enjoyed that dynamic too!

I love this book, but some of the scenes in the first half of the book even pushed me!
Please read the warnings before reading.
It look me a long time to like Revenant, Fox and Mayhem. It is daft as Fox was the first one I liked and he is the most unhinged character in the story! However, all three alphas redeemed themselves in the second half of the story.
Evangeline was a great character as she didn’t capitulate. She was stubborn, fierce and proud. It was fun to read about her turning the power dynamic on its head.
This world with Alpha’s and Omega’s has a twist compared to other Omegaverse books and I think it makes it a better read.
This book has everything from action, dangerous situations, romance and plenty of spice.
I really enjoyed reading this book. 5 stars!

Against the Hollow was such a fun, dark omegaverse. I absolutely loved the unique take on OV. The shadows and shadow shifter aspects were new and exciting. Evangeline was also such a bad ass FMC, I adored her. These men are DARK. I knew from the moment that Fox laid eyes on Evangeline that I was going to love this book. Fox, Mayhem and Revenant are in a motorcycle club who rescue omegas from trafficking when they come across Evangeline. Fox immediately claims her and thus begins Evangeline’s journey with the three alphas 🤪 these men take what they want and ask questions later. This is definitely a dark romance so please keep that in mind when reading. I ate this book UP. I had to know how these alphas were going to win over their omega and they did not disappoint.

I’m so glad I already preordered a PR box because I am excited to get my hands on a physical copy 😈

[M.Z. Rylan · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a fun ride into an omegaverse. I really enjoyed the shadow powers the alphas have and I’m excited to see more of that later in this series.
Our little omega has had a rough run but I enjoyed all her spicy time with her new alphas. Especially the over the bike scene. 🥵 things I didn’t realize I needed!

[Rachael Pearson · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book has taken over the last few days and I have struggled to put it down! Dark romance meets fantasy - this was an ARC read that I will not forget. Thank you Jaeger Rose for trusting me with your latest novel - what a wild ride!

Meet Evangeline, a young omega who wakes up in unknown territory, having gotten caught up in a trade deal gone wrong - how she got there and why is a mystery. Her condition upon being found is awful and it is only thanks to the alphas that find her that she survives at all. Fox, Revenant and Mayhem, three very different but very powerful alphas but how will she fit into their world when all she wants is freedom and to dance?

I so enjoyed this book and the world that she created! The powers that the alphas have, their shadows - it was so creative and so clever. Wow! I mean the twists, the turns, the SPICE! 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ I loved getting to know the characters, learning the reasons behind certain actions and seeing relationships grow. I would definitely check the trigger warnings as this book has quite a few but if you love a bit of omegaverse, this is a book for you.
I can’t wait for book 2 🤩

[Audrey · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the first in a new dark Omegaverse series by Jaeger Rose, and it dives right into the story. I really appreciated the foreword; it gave a helpful overview of the worldbuilding and societal structure. While much of that context is sprinkled throughout the book, it’s not explained in heavy detail, so the summary upfront set the stage nicely.

One thing I liked is that while this is an Omegaverse romance, the main match indicator is light and darkness (Omegas vs. Alphas) instead of being entirely scent-based. Scent is still there, but only in the “they smell nice” way, rather than dominating every interaction, which felt refreshing. This aspect also explained in the note before the start of the book, so readers aren’t confused.

The story rotates through four POVs (Evangeline and the three MMCs: Revenant, Mayhem, and Fox), with most chapters from the men’s POV. And let’s be clear: these MMCs are not morally grey, they’re walking red flags. Each has toxic traits, and they share the same ends justify the means mentality. Whether it’s killing someone or making decisions against another’s will, they rarely explain themselves to anyone. If the three of them are in agreement, that’s all that matters. As the story goes on, they do grow somewhat, especially as their relationship with Evangeline grows, but they love, as the author aptly put it, “in the only way they know how.” Which still contains may red flags.

The romance is a MMMF grouping, with the MMC’s having a long-established relationship before FMC shows up and this relationship depicted in the book, throughly 😏. The romance with the FMC developed mostly through forced proximity, a resulting Stockholm syndrome dynamic (IMO), and the biological pull of being biological matches. I appreciated the character development woven in, compromises from the MMCs, and them learning a new dynamic as they wont compromise on who they are but, mostly, don’t want her to change either. A good section of the second half of the book is used to focus more on Evangeline’s first heat. Rather than rushing through those chapters, the author let the heat play out in a way that stayed true to her character. They get fully bonded by the end but Evangeline still got to resolve some issues with the MMC’s and make that choice instead of using her heat as a quick fix to erase all her resistance.

Plot-wise, the book felt a bit uneven. The first half focused on Evangeline dealing her situation and the MMC’s dealing with club conflicts, which was inferred to have wrapped up. Then about 25% centered on her first heat (which is appreciated for reasons stated before), followed by another conflict in the last quarter.That last arc tied back loosely to earlier issues, and not a surprise that it happened but mostly seemed like a setup for introducing the next FMC. Since this series is more character-focused than plot-driven, it made sense, though I did feel the external conflict could have been expanded on. Maybe it will as the series progresses.

Overall, this was an enjoyable romance with intense characters, a strong focus on relationships, and an ending that left me curious for the next book. Just know these MMCs stay red flags from beginning to end; occasionally fluffy, but still toxic.

⚠️ Things such as non-con, trafficking, & blood play are present in this story. I’d strongly recommend checking the full trigger/content warnings (they’re listed in the foreword and on the author’s website) before diving in.

If you are looking for a really dark omegaverse, look no further. First, the basics of that you have come to expect from an omegaverse are definitely flipped and changed. This is a shifting omegaverse, which is not the majority of omegaverse, but definitely not totally unusual. There is still scent involved, but in this world, the attraction between mates is measured by the glow of an omega and the shadow of the alpha. I thought this was a great visual for the alphas and omegas in this world because honestly, most of the alphas in this world are swallowing and smothering the glow of the omegas. This is one of those books where even the MMCs are not good guys. This is one of those omegaverse worlds where omegas are forced to live under the thumb of the alphas that buy and sell them like chattel. While I often love reading cute, sweet omegaverses, I found it refreshing to read a totally dark omegaverse. It was something that connected with the side of me that doesn’t always look for the bright side and the “good” guys aren’t always good.

The MMCs in this book are all so different but they are all completely unhinged. Fox is the silent but psychotic smaller alpha that also works as a medic for their motorcycle club. He loves to cause and witness pain, but also spends his life giving medical care for omegas that have been hurt while being trafficked. Revenant is the big, dominant, pack alpha. He is the president of the motorcycle club and the leader for his pack. Mayhem is really an interesting character. He is usually the type that would be my least favorite but I actually felt a connection to him. And then there is Evangeline. She is so strong even though she has been through so much. All she wanted was to dance, but the alphas in her life were so controlling of her.

This was definitely a different take on an omegaverse. I read so many omegaverses, that it is always good to read something that I haven’t seen before. This book is definitely spicy, but make sure you reading the trigger warnings because the spicy isn’t sweet and there are a few times with SA. The part where she is claimed by the fact was a rough scene if you focused on it. This is not a light, fluffy story that will make you feel the warm fuzzies. But it is definitely worth it if you enjoy a darker omegaverse.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

I received a copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving this review. All opinions are my own.

These alphas are not redeemable.
No omega has the power to change them.

I really liked this book. It had a super unique omegaverse that I haven't seen before. While scents are still brought up and important within this book, this isn't your usual omegaverse with scent matches. This OV has the alphas possessing shadows and the omegas emitting a light, and if they are a perfect match, they can cancel each other out. Now the book explains this better than I do, but I loved this concept; I found it super interesting. This book is a dark omegaverse with some pretty morally black alphas, but honestly, I adored them.

I also honestly loved how this was a motorcycle club romance. I feel like I don't commonly see omegaverse mixed with organized crime, and honestly, I adore these two subgenres, so combining them was a dream for me. I also absolutely adore the relationship that Revenant, Fox, and Mayhem have with each other before Evangeline comes into the picture. I also just love the dynamic of the four of them together since they need to work at being a family and being happy together. It was so fun to watch them all grow together and become an adorable pack. However, the alphas are, again, morally black and do many questionable things throughout this book, which is exactly why y'all should check your triggers.

I 100% recommend this book, especially if you are looking for a super unique omegaverse that is dark and spicy.

Thank you Jaeger Rose for an advanced copy of this book!

This was such a great read! This is a shifter omegaverse but with a fun twist that I’ve never read before. There are alphas, betas and omegas as usual, and alpha packs because omegas are so rare. The fun twist is that the omegas glow and the alphas have shadows! It’s such a cool concept and like in your typical omegaverse where there are scent matches, the glow/shadow acts as a compatibility test.

It’s not overly complicated and works very well with the story! I loved getting to know the alphas, they are most definitely OTT and OBSESSED, but that’s what makes them so awesome 😂 This was on the spectrum of a dark romance, topics of human trafficking are talked about past and present tense, violence, and some gore (not between MCs). I loved the MMCs nicknames for Evangeline! Each had his own and it was so cute ❤️

Evangeline is a fighter, she will not yield (in the words of Aelin 😂) to these alphas, no matter what they try! And boy do they try 😭 but she is just as tough and stubborn as they are, and they eventually get the memo. It’s a great rollarcoaster that none of them thought they’d be on, but hey! A fun ride is a fun ride 🎢😂

The spice! There is quite a bit! It’s a fast burn, non con, dub con, bathroom (pee) play (used mostly as control but also in a spicy scene). These men are all about control! There is also an MM only scene. We know they’re all (all MMCs) romantically involved but there’s only 2 MM scenes really, the rest is mostly affection.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

This was a unique experience for an omegaverse. It had the typical Alpha and Omega vibes. And the pack and bonds. But it also had shadows that the alphas can use to change shape and assist them in protection or anything else they might use them for. 😉
Also the omegas glow when they are happy, content, feeling lovey.

Bonds are formed on how well their shadows and lights balance each other out. Instead of scents like in most omegaverses. So that was a really cool aspect.

Also. This is a darker romance. She is kidnapped. And rescued by this pack. But they’re a rough and tumble MC gang and have no problem keeping an omega they want.

Evangeline thought she would be safe because her uncle was high up in the Mafia. But when things go wrong and she ends up kidnapped her life alters completely.

Fox knew her in the past. And is thrilled to come across her now that she’s of age to be bonded. Mayhem and Revenant are already bonded with Fox and they all have a physical relationship. They worry this could break them apart. Or that she won’t accept them as they are.

It’s a great storyline. I really enjoyed it. However, there were parts of their relationship building and going that felt glossed over. I love dark romance. And this hit those aspects. But where they usually delve a little deeper into the nuances of the relationship and how they come to agreements and compromises this tends to miss those smaller aspects.

It’s still a great read. And I had a fun time reading it. I received an ARC for free. I am voluntarily leaving this review.

Dark. Twisted. Addictive.

Against the Hollow by Jaeger Rose absolutely devoured me in the best way possible. This book is everything I crave in a dark Omegaverse—intense, primal, morally black alphas and an omega who refuses to break.

Fox, Mayhem, and Revenant? Whew. Each one is dangerous, intimidating, and yet I found myself falling hard for all of them. Fox’s quiet intensity, Mayhem’s barely restrained chaos, and Revenant’s raw dominance—it's a deadly trifecta I couldn't get enough of.

And Evangeline? She is fierce. She clings to her truth and her fire even when everything around her tries to snuff it out. She's the kind of heroine you root for with your whole heart—beautiful, bold, and unshakably strong even when her world is ripped apart.

This isn’t a sweet romance. It’s brutal, shadowed, and full of trigger warnings—but if you like your Omegaverse dark and feral, this book delivers. The tension, the push and pull, the possessive obsession—it’s all so deliciously done.

Highly recommend if you love:
🔪 Possessive, unredeemable alphas
💜 Fierce omega who fights back
💙 Shadow shifters + motorcycle club vibes
🔪 Twisted “touch her and die” energy
💜 MMMF why-choose perfection

[Whitney · Rating 5 out of 5]

Against the Hollow was the dark romance book I didn't know that I needed - it was the perfect blend of omegaverse and MC/mafia. This book fully leaned into both tropes and didn't shy away from the dark and dangerous themes that arose from this combination. Also, there was a unique twist on the traditional omegas and alphas tropes - both omegas and alphas can shift but alphas have sentience shadows that can take two forms and instead the traditional scent based matches, packs are formed by compatibility on the light spectrum between the omegas glow and alphas shadows. These twists kept things interesting and added room for shadow play.
Outside of some great work building and a stellar plot, I loved the characters. The dynamics between Evangeline and pack Westergaard was filled with varying degrees of tension and had this great evolution. Additionally, I enjoyed that Evangeline's relationship between the different alphas, Revenant, Fox, and Mayhem, was truly unique and had their own arc; each relationship was filled with grit, darkness, and connection.
Now, I just need the rest of the series to be written asap.

⭐4.25

Jaeger Rose gives us a good-ol' mafia omegaverse with forced proximity and a fierce FMC.

But you see, these alphas aren't just wolf shifters. In this universe, alphas have a shadow/light situation with their omega. What do I mean? Weeeeeelll, besides being able to shift to two animals who most resemble their personality, they can control their animal as a shadow. You know what that means? "Against the Hollow" has not one, not two, but THREE SHADOW DADDIES.

And similarly, Evangeline, our bratty ballerina FMC, as an omega, can ✨glow✨ when she's ✨happy✨ so that our alphas can 🌑shroud🌑 her. Convinced yet?

Besides this incredible universe, the characters drew me in fast! The plot was doing its thing, and the spice actually felt relevant to the storyline!

Also, I neeeeeeeeddddd to know more about Iona!! Anyone else got the vibe that the twins and Lazarus will soon have a very badass omega? Even if I'm wrong, I'm craving more of these three, I'm already obsessed.

Please do beware of the trigger warnings!! Some of these scenes felt borderline illegal, but don't worry, they redeem themselves at the end.

[Kez Marie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Definitely an intense omegaverse book that doesn't shy away from dark themes including trafficking, forced submission, control, and hurt/comfort.
Evangeline is trapped and in the possession of 3 demanding alphas who control her every move and aim to break and mold her, but she isn't going down without a fight.
Each Alpha has a distinct personality and scheme to wear their new omega down, and its a brutal war of dominance and submission, trust and conflict, and love and pain.
On top of pack dynamics, there is mafia style motorcycle club conflicts, rival drama, and figuring out how Evangeline was trafficked and who wanted the omega.
This was completely unique with the added shadow power / shifter abilities for the alphas, and the counterbalance glow of their omegas.
I enjoyed how the groups bond formed over time and the shift from trying to break Evangeline to earning her trust, love and mate bond.
It's spicy, complex, full of defiance and angst, and I loved the affection between the alphas.

[Mandy Sickle · Rating 5 out of 5]

I received Against The Hollow in return for an honest review from the author.

Evangeline didn't plan to take a pack but fate decides to force her hand sending her right into the hands of the Westergaard a ruthless motorcycle club who happens to be rivals of her fathers business. Given no choice she's bound to their pack in order to save her life and as they are an almost perfect match they refuse to give her up. However, not everyone is happy about the match and will do whatever it takes to ruin it.

I love a dark omegaverse mix in a unwilling omega and a group of rough men I knew it was my kind of read. I've not read very many motorcycle club books and mix in an omega story I had to check it out. This one is super unique to traditional omega romance it has a lot of interesting idea's that I hadn't seen before. The characters are unique and easy to connect with I couldn't help falling in love with them all but Fox was my favorite I think but they are all great.

I loved the whole story from start to finish I was hooked and finished it in just one day. This is my first book by the author and I'm addicted to her storytelling. I loved every moment of it even when I wanted to toss my kindle against the wall a few times. I was so emotionally invested and even had happy tears at the end. The author has done such a beautiful job creating characters you can't help being invested in. I loved how beautiful the story is, and can't wait for the next one.

[Eren Valentine · Rating 5 out of 5]

Against the Hollow was definitely a book that I read the summary and was like okay, I'm here for this!

In this world we have the A/B/O dynamics but here it's Alpha's and their shadows and Omega's and their light. Alpha's have 2 shifted shapes while Omega's have one. Alpha's are known to take, and Omega's to submit. Alpha's shadows can take the light, cover their Omega's as when a happy, healthy and... excited Omega glows. They have color preferences based on their spectrum tests.

Omega sales are common, but people have learned that black market deals for Omega's can get you just about anyone.... Including the Crime Family's princess.

Evangeline is a ballerina, promised that she could continue dancing and find a pack later. Unfortunately that decision is taken from her by unknown factors and she finds herself in the hands of some growly Alpha's. Choice's taken, a path is paved. Will she be saved? Will the Alpha's break her? Follow the journey that is set out for Evangeline and our 3 Alpha's.

ARC read complete ❗️

Wow ! I'm struggling to put into words my thoughts on this book .... in all the best ways 🔥

This is my first experience reading Omegaverse. The first few chapters I did struggle a little visualising the world and the Alphas and Omegas but once I got used to the terminology and their names and how they could shape shift along with shadow play... I was fully enthralled by this story.

I have never read spicy scenes like what are in this book 🥵 Wow ! 🌶🌶🌶🌶 This was a pure guilty pleasure. I almost felt like I shouldn't have enjoyed some of the scenes so much due to the nature of them... 👀 Please read all the trigger warnings ⚠️ before reading this book. Jaeger Rose clearly states all these at the beginning of the book and makes it very clear what to expect and what not to expect.

I couldn't read Against The Hollow quick enough! I was obsessed with it. If you like your romance a little more on the animalistic dark side... this ones for you ! 🔥🔥🔥

WC Omegaverse Dark ‘Romance’ with MM

4..5⭐️
At the beginning of the book it states:
“These men are a red flag carnival.” Seriously if you don’t enjoy irredeemable MMCs don’t read it. Read the TWs before reading….. you’ve been warned

I really enjoyed reading this. This is spicy and DARK with morally black MMCs that will do anything (seriously anything ) to break, control and keep the FMC. But they do care about her in their own way and show it the only way they know how.

This book has a different take on omegaverse, yes they are shifting but even more , Alphas can wield shadows and Omegas glow. Instead of scent matches, good matches are the Alphas ability to block out their Omegas glow from the outside world. This also is explained at the beginning of the book.

There’s no cheating, no OWD, no third act breakup.

This book ends with this Packs HEA but with a tiny cliff setting us up for the next story 🤞

Definitely recommend this if you love your MMCs unredeemable, love omegaverse but just looking for something a little different from the norm.

Against the hollow is a dark omegaverse romance.

I love this story of Three Dominant, Possessive, Protective and Unhinged Alphas and their fiery little Omega.

Revenant is the pack Alpha and authoritarian. Fox is the doctor, quiet and calculative. Mayhem is the anchor with calm under current of chaos. They saved an Omega from Omega trafficking and claimed her to save her. Evangeline is a fiesty Omega who doesn't want to submit to them and wants to live her life on her own terms.

The Alphas want Evangeline to submit to them but she can't be tamed easily. They each push and manipulate her with their own different kind of dominance and Evangeline can't resist them. The spicy was so spicy with feral passion and carnal desires 🔥🔥.

They are shadow shifters who can shift into more than one forms and their shadows can also transform. Omega can shift and glow. I find it very interesting. There is knotting, nesting and other Alpha - Omega dynamics with motorcycle club.

What a dark road we ride on in this Omegaverse, Against the Hollow is Book 1 in the Eclipse Omegaverse series.

If you are a fan of Dark Omegaverse with Shadow Shifters, The Boyfriends Get A Girlfriend - Why Choose - MMMF, Touch Her and 💀, MC Club, N0n-Con Captive and so much more this series is for you! Please read the TWs before diving in.

Evangeline did not want to be a packs Omega, she had a life of dancing when she is captured and “saved” by a group of Alphas who want to break her, they say they saved her and she is theirs but her new prison is a funny way of showing it.

These Alphas, man they are not good by an stretch of the mile, they are as morally black as they come. Though they might have saved her, they are stuck in their Alphas ways and will do anything to make her succumb to their will. Revenant, the lead Alpha, Fox, the one that will unalive anyone and Mayhem, the one the keeps them all together.

Rightfully so, it takes awhile for Evangeline to start coming around to these Alphas and it isn’t until she learns the truth that she really starts letting her guard down but just when you think they are getting to a good place it comes crashing down and threatening any bond that maybe be forming.

However by the end you start seeing how the men tick and why they do what they do. They will protect her at all costs and have a fierce love for her and she starts seeing the men behind their animals.

It’s completely full of MMFM spice (very spicy) intrigue, suspense, angst and betrayal with the pack always seeming to have to look over their shoulders for trouble. The three main MC’s are possessive, dominant stubborn alpha-holes who run the Night Wraiths motorcycle club and the FMC is independent and strong willed and the favourite niece of one of their rivals. So, as you can imagine she doesn’t submit lightly to their demands. I must admit that I was not prepared for one of the Alphas, Mayhem, who has a bit of an obsession with being in the bathroom with Evangeline for WHATEVER she does 😲

I really enjoyed how Rev, Mayhem and Fox had to work so HARD to get Evangeline to completely trust and love them but how the bond balanced everything out in the end. A worthy read with an enjoyable plot and good ending.

Devoured this book in a day! I really enjoyed a different representation of the typical omegaverse world I read. Actual shifting and those shadows?! Yes, please. Fox, Mayhem, and Revenant were a sexy close-knit trio before Evangeline crashed onto the scene. They are completely unapologetic about their need to keep her and her opinion on that fact doesn't matter. The FMC is feisty and tries to fight back (which the MMCs find oh so cute) as she navigates her new circumstances. To be honest, I wanted her to make them grovel more and fight them longer (except Fox, he gets a pass). Alas, that is my foul soul projecting, and I got on board almost as quickly during Vixen's heat. I mean how could you not with the spice in this story?! Delicious. I cannot wait to see who we get to follow in the next book. I'm hoping for a good hunt and maybe some twins enjoying the prize? Hmmm, the possibilities....

This book was INSANELY good. I don’t think I can accurately put into words how much I loved this. Its Omegaverse with 3 Alphas and their little Omega. There is lots of spice, dominating alphas, nesting, knotting and its MC!! The world the author built is so interesting with the shadow shifters and being able to take not 1 but 2 forms, and the shadows are also an extension of them. I was so intrigued.

In a world where Omegas are sold legally at auctions to packs, there is also a black market, and the omegas are sold illegally. The MC makes it their mission to intercept these illegal shipments and get the Omegas back to their homes or into loving packs, this is how they meet their omega, Evangeline. She’s a feisty thing who believes she is being held captive. But she can’t resist her alphas!

This book is fast-paced and kept me on the edge until I finished. Can not recommend this book enough!!

This was such an interesting and unique take on the Omegaverse, especially with the incorporation of shadows and light into the shifter dynamic. It added a fresh layer of worldbuilding that I really enjoyed.

What truly stood out to me, though, was the relationship between the three Alphas. There’s just something incredibly compelling about powerful, dominant men being not only intimate but also openly affectionate with one another—it was intense, emotional, and so satisfying to read.

I also really liked the dynamic with Evangeline. The push and pull between her and the Alphas added great tension. She wasn’t about to give in easily, and her struggle with accepting her omega instincts felt raw and real. Of course, over time, she learns to embrace that side of herself, and watching that growth was rewarding.

That said, I did finish the book with a few lingering questions, and I’m not sure if there’s a sequel planned to address them. If there is, I’ll definitely be picking it up!
