Knot So Fast

Speedverse #1

by Cinder Blaze

They said Omegas don’t belong on the track.
She’s about to make them choke on her dust.

All her life, Auren Vale wanted one thing— to be the first Omega to race in Formula One.
But when her designation ruins everything, she’s blacklisted from the sport she lives for.

No pack. No sponsor. No chance.

Now, she burns rubber online, dominating sim-racing leaderboards and unleashing her fury on trash-talking Alphas—especially one smug rival who always gives as good as he gets.

Until the night she takes a reckless midnight ride and crashes straight into her biggest fantasy —and worst
Lachlan Wolfe, four-time Formula One world champion and dangerously unmated Alpha.

Their chemistry is nuclear, their heat combustible... and then the new rule drops.

No Omega, no team.

Now every Alpha on the grid is scrambling to claim an Omega—any Omega—to qualify.
But to win? They’ll need one who can actually race.

Auren isn’t just good. She’s lethal.
And Wolfe’s high-profile, all-Alpha pack wants her bad.
But partnering with them means risking everything— her heart, her heat, and her dream of freedom. Because in a sport where speed is power and scent is leverage, getting too close could cost her everything.

The stakes are cutthroat. The passion is asphalt-melting.
And for one Omega with something to prove, this is more than just a race.
It’s war on wheels.

Knot So Fast kicks off a ride you won’t want to end. It’s perfect for fans of high-octane tension, scorching Omegaverse dynamics, and enemies-to-lovers fire!

Ehhhhhhhh.

I read Cinder Blaze for her heroines, full stop. They straddle that line of being difficult , hardass, stubborn and opinionated without venturing into stupid, psychotic, or suicidal territory.

Obviously, your mileage may vary. But I read for her heroines and NOT the packs or heroes because many times, I can take or leave the dudes.

This one though? I thought the story was so focused on Lachlan and Auren that I thought I was reading a straight forward romance between a FMC and MMC . Did other supporting characters get scenes or page time? Sure. Was it enough to make me be able to distinguish between one or the other? No. (Here's looking at you, Kieran, Dex, and Luke the beta.)

Her family is built up to be this powerful juggernaut of a problem that barely gets any page time aside from a scene or two.

There's more time spent on external conflict (like the brother of Lachlan, his twin AND her ex, who is a toxic fuck up and who she won't give up on) rather than the interpersonal workings of the pack and solidifying that relationship and I think the story suffers in that regard.

Did I like it? Sure. Enough to read further into the world and other characters, yes. If this was my introduction to her writing however, I'm not sure I'd bother to go further because I think it was rather weak in characters and relationships. Past books have been stronger in that particular respect.

I fear this plot made no sense. How does Auren get into three car crashes and still wants to race like the second she gets out of the coma, still on morphine, still in pain and wins the race after the most jarring moment ever with Lachlan and Lucius. Like what in the actual fuck

Love, love, love!!! At times I felt it was a little chaotic to follow the story, but looking back it reflected what was happening to the characters perfectly. I loved the romance, and the concept of continued loyalty through trials. I loved the action and the spunk of the FMC and how she took no nonsense from anyone. I found myself cheering, crying, laughing, and everything in between at the characters, with the characters, and for the characters whom you can’t help but love. I would have liked a second epilogue that showed the future this group had (maybe they are in the next books?) and I personally would have changed a little of the outlook from the epilogue but that is more of a personal preference and for what the story is, how it was written fits perfectly. Definitely a story I would read again!

well, there was no editor. because there were so many places that the storyline was screwed up. she has diabetes but another chapter she hasn't eaten in three days .. flashback to her crappy apartment with her dad yelling at her mom... next chapter they are Uber powerful rich that can make people disappear and moms a badass. 🤷 and don't get me started on the men. I finished it. I won't read the next one. it was romance light spice medium and car 2xl heavy.

omg. get an editor

What I thought was going to be a great read, just wasn’t. Word misuse, formatting errors. At one point in one paragraph, it went from first to third person and back again. I think this is the authors norm. I believe I have DNF’d most of her books, and this is just another one. I will not be giving her anymore chances as she just doesn’t even try. I mean, how hard is it to use spellcheck?

Umm excuse me but that was a roller coaster. It starts with a bang and then you’re wondering what the he’ll happened in the first couple of chapters. Then you think you know what’s going on and nope you don’t! I think the ending is perfect. I do wish you saw more of their relationship as a pack. But did a good book.

125 pages in and pretty much nothing has happened. I wish the book description would have mentioned amnesia because that is not what I was trying to sign up for 👋

Not my jam. Couldn't even make it through the first chapter.
