The Streamverse #2
Over My Dead Body
From Bex Deveau and L.E. Eldridge comes a masked omegaverse where the games go from online to IRL—masked men and all. Welcome to the Streamerverse. See you in chat.
An omega destined to be packless…
Heartbreak after heartbreak has left me realizing I’m not cut out for a pack. As much as I’ve wished for one, it’s obviously not in the cards. It’s time to leave behind wishes in favor of dreams, and I have a big one—Opening my very own game studio.
But even as one of the highest-ranked Kxll Flxxr streamers, and my recent success on SLCK’d, a camming service explicitly for omegas, it was nearly impossible to scrounge together more than pennies between student loans and increasing rent.
What do you do when you receive an offer you can’t refuse?
When the pack I hooked up with at the Omega’s Lust Halloween Trick or Treat Packtacular offered me more than enough seed money to design the game of my dreams, no strings attached, it seemed too good to be true.
The catch?
They want me to have their pack’s baby.
It seems like an unbelievable offer, but what’s nine months in exchange for my dream? Just one little signature, and it could all be mine.
But when the lines between play and pack get blurred, and I let myself get attached, how far am I willing to go to keep a pack that’s already found their omega?
Just sign your name on the dotted line.
OVer My Dead Body is a HIGH heat, MNBIMMF contemporary omegaverse packed with masked alphas, accidental mating bites, and a contract that will change their lives. This book is a standalone, with no cheesy cheating, no choosing, and an HEA! Can’t wait? Players can start their journey a little early in Dead 2 Me, the prequel novella that’s just waiting for you to squad up!

Omegaverse
MNBiMMF
Masked men
Surprise bonding
One pack, two omegas
Lots of fun BDSM dynamics (including bondage, knife play, degradation, dirty talk, exhibitionism etc)
This was such a REAL omegaverse set against a backdrop of video games and streaming and full of messy, complex characters who are ALL chock full of issues. I loved it.
Two omegas: Eva, the cam girl who wants to open her own gaming development studio. Joon, the bratty artist who wants a pack but is terrified to bond.
Three alphas: Marcus, the restauranteer germophobe who wants his pack settled. Cameo, the businessman mogul who collects bugs and is likely neurodivergent and undiagnosed and absolutely cannot handle emotional mess. Indigo, the nonbinary gamer who might be my most favorite character of all.
These alphas want a baby and they negotiate a contract with Eva to have her carry one for them. But no one has any intention of letting Eva go. Can they overcome their MANY issues to find happiness and keep Eva safe?
I love when I’m reading a book and I feel like the authors just had a blast writing it. You get that in spades here. This is not a cute and cozy omegaverse full of pampering and soft light. This is gritty and messy and these alphas have to learn how to be the alphas that their omegas need. The spice was so spicy and hit me with all the degradation and humiliation dirty talk. Bring it on!
It’s moderately paced and there’s a minor suspense storyline that hops into the forefront at the end (although you can totally see it coming and WHT don’t the characters see it too?!?). This is part of a shared world and while it’s not necessary to read the earlier works, I’d definitely recommend picking up the immediate prequel novella Dead 2 Me since it’s all about these characters and their first messy and glorious time together.
Thanks so much to the authors and the Smuthood for the review copy!

This was absolutely chaotic and I had a great time with it.
The premise alone pulled me in, but honestly? The cover is what got me first. It immediately caught my attention and made me want to pick it up, and I’m glad I did.
Once I started, it leaned fully into the chaos and just kept going. If you’re into omegaverse with a lot happening and big 👀 energy, this delivers.
Overall, a really fun read and I’m definitely glad I gave it a shot.

Eva is a sweet and driven omega who streams horror games for a living. She is best friends with Tara whose pack’s story is from the previous book, Game Over. Eva’s first interaction with the entire pack is in the novella Dead 2 Me. Life hasn’t been easy for Eva but she has a dream of opening her own video game studio to produce cozy horror games.
Joon is an omega with a difficult past that colors his relationships, sense of self and trust in others. He builds a relationship with Indigo who then brings him into their pack. Joon is an artist and enjoys comic books.
Indigo (Indy) is also a streamer and part of Eva’s friend group. They have such deep empathy for others and unending patience with their pack. They quickly become Joon’s alpha due to those qualities. Indy has the cutest pet snake named Potato.
Marcus is a Michelin starred chef and restaurant owner who thrives on routine and organization. He loves old horror films to the point of owning a CRT TV and VHS player. He has some trauma from a prior omega relationship (along with the rest of pack Lombardi) that tempers his connection with the omegas.
Cameo is business partners with Tara’s alpha Charlie and a tech wizard. He goes after what he wants with absolute confidence and determination, sometimes at the expense of others feelings and emotions. Dirt, germs and mess make him anxious and he unwinds with an interesting hobby.
The relationships and dynamics in this book are deep, interesting and challenging. Pack Lombardi wants an omega and children to complete their pack. Indy built a solid relationship with Joon however, Joon is reluctant to form permanent bonds and some pack members are more patient with that than others. Joon moves in with the pack but it’s far from smooth sailing. After meeting Eva and spending time with her through her heat the pack can’t keep her out of their heads, even Joon. Cam decides to push the agenda of completing their pack by asking Eva to become their surrogate in exchange for seed money for her game studio. Two omegas in one pack are incredibly unusual and navigating the speed bumps to form their dream pack is what made this story so compelling.
I struggled in the beginning of the book. I couldn’t connect with Marcus and Cameo and didn’t appreciate their treatment of Joon. Joon was incredibly frustrating to me due to his inability to communicate his feelings maturely. I really lost it when Marcus fulfilled his agreement with Eva to treat her like an omega they were courting during the surrogacy by calling the date he planned for her an obligation. That being said, those flaws made them incredibly realistic characters that I ultimately fell in love with.
I had to step back and question why I was having this negative reaction to some of the relationships in this book and ultimately it came down to my own preconceptions about how relationships “should” be. I had to sit with my own feelings of jealousy and rejection over this fictional relationship which to me demonstrates the power of this story and the impact of the characters. It could be that I feel the stories I read too deeply but I think it may be a little bit of that and a lot more that these two authors wrote characters with realistic and relatable emotions. They are all flawed but interesting, lovable, and deeply loyal to their pack. I ended up appreciating each of them for the traits they brought to their pack. I had to adjust my understanding of the unique ways they showed love and caring to appreciate all the love between the pack members. They all at times adjusted and grew to accommodate the needs of their pack and I think you will love them as much as I do.
The spicy scenes, dynamics, and kinks explored by pack Lombardi are 10/10. There is truly a flavor for everyone in this pack. We get omegas in heat but we also get alphas in rut. I appreciated this because it put alphas in a similar vulnerable position we see omegas in frequently.
I love the streamverse world. I can’t wait to see who we focus on next. We meet Indy’s brother Mason in this story who is connected to organized crime and a doctor so I’m crossing my fingers we get more of him in the future.

Another amazing book in the Streamverse series! Contemporary MNBIMMF omegaverse with masked characters, free use, stalking, knotting, mating bites and lots of delicious spicy scenes. Can be read as a standalone, but I highly recommend reading at least the prequel novella, Dead 2 Me first.
I really enjoyed this book! Loved the pack dynamics and relationship development between the characters. Having two omegas in the same pack was interesting and I really enjoyed how both Joon and Eva had to figure out their place in the pack. Loved how the characters weren’t perfect and they all had their own issues they needed to figure out.
The spice was spicing and the ratio between plot and spice was great.
The storyline kept me hooked and I didn’t want this book to end. This series as a whole has made its way to my comfort series list and I can see myself reading these books over and over again.
“There were a lot of limits I had when it came to relationships and omegas. Unfortunately for Eva, stalking wasn’t really one of them.”
“Just watch her stream together, see if it makes you horny or jealous. That would clear it up pretty fast, right? Make it super obvious…”
"Your begging is so cute, it almost makes me want to give you what you want."
"How about I make you a deal, cumslut? I'll teach you the right way to use the knife, but I'm going to show you the fun way first."
“What, spankings follow the same rules as phone calls?”
“You know, for someone in heat, you’re speaking way too coherently. It seems a slut like you needs more, hm?”
I received an ARC of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review. Receiving ARC didn’t affect my opinion of the book.

If you hate books with miscommunication or bad communication, this is not the book for you. No one here can have a conversation when it needs to be had, but for me? I ate it up. The relationship dynamics between everyone, at least in the first half of this, were deliciously toxic. No one could talk about their feelings. When someone's feelings did get hurt or someone got jealous, our MMCs resorted to pointed jabs and silent treatment. I loved it.
I like relationships in books that show real life drama. I like a lack of communication because when these characters start to talk, you can see the character growth when they all start to vibe together more cohesively. That growth does show really well here. I loved the FMC, Eva. She was so vibrant and fun. The male omega, Joon, was a wonderful character. He was jealous and bratty and sometimes shitty, but I really liked him as a foil to Eva as far as omegas go. The voices of the alphas were all unique enough that I didn't get them confused by they also didn't come across as caricatures (as much as you can get with a slightly darkish romance.)
There is a slight suspense plot going on in the background as well. It worked well as far as pacing. The "villain" wasn't a shock at all. As soon as the character is introduced, you know they're going to be a problem. But the entire scope of the issue was a bit of a surprise. I like how it all worked towards the climax and I love how everything went.
This was such a fun, smutty read. It was filthy, funny, and sweet.

🖤Arc Review🩷
Over my Dead Body is a multi POV Omegaverse read with dark themes. I HIGHLY recommend reading the Spicy and fun prequel Dead 2 Me to really get the back story and full effect!! It was spicy got fun and quick and really sets up Over My Dead Body! I’ve never read an Omegaverse with the streaming/games aspect and it was different and fun! Even with the darker themes such a mask play, stalking, and kn!fe play I still got the cozy, warm hug feline that an OV book can deliver! There is suspense and plenty of spice but also a lot of growth and healing! This book has 2 omegas Joon and Eva. Joon had past trauma that he slowly worked through during the book and that was truly beautiful! The pack knew they wanted Eva and used a br€€ding contract to have her close with the goal to eventually have her see she was meant to be with them. Loved the Alphas Marcus, Cameo, and Indigo!!! Each character had quirks and flaws and it was endearing to see them all interact with her each other! Their chemistry was off the charts and I go feral for a group scene! Love with the boyfriends are boyfriends! This was fun and loved the suspense!

Review of advance copy received from Author
4.25 stars. This story is quintuple POV, well written, and an angsty, erotic, darker, reverse harem, omegaverse romance between Eva, the female omega content creator lead, and her dysfunctional pack with emotional health issues: Joon, the male omega lead, Indigo, the non-binary alpha content creator lead, Marcus, the male alpha chef lead, and Cameo, the male alpha neurodiverse investor lead. I chuckled at some of the crazy premises in this story. I enjoyed Cameo’s focus on his interests and his absolute refusal to countenance barriers. I enjoyed Eva’s willingness to take chances. I empathised with Joon’s history and enjoyed seeing him open up to his chosen pack. I enjoyed Indigo’s confidence in who they were and their charisma and willingness to reach out to others. I empathised with Marcus’ historical concerns and appreciated the way those were resolved. I enjoyed the erotic intimate scenes that helped characters bridge relationships. I enjoyed the exploration of darker intimate interests and the careful consent focus and follow-up. I enjoyed the acknowledgement that the end relationship was non-standard but met the characters’ needs. This story stands alone but there is a prequel available, which adds to the spice.
I received a complimentary copy from the authors and this is my voluntary honest review.

Review of advance copy received from Edelweiss+
This is the 4th and final book of this group of stories the first three kind of were lead up into this although two of them were novellas and then you kind of had this one that came at the end we have Eva our lead lady who is an Omega who was a streamer and just looking to go into her own little business but of course you need money but what streamer is going to have that sort of money to do the type of business she wants to do so she decides why not do what she's good at as an Omega it would be having babies so she except the offer of a pack to have their baby now this is the same pack from another of the novels and she had a really hard crush on them.
Marcus was the first Alpha she ever slept with who was into the first novella, and then you have Joon who is their Omega and Camo and indigo these four are a pack of males who on Halloween had a thing for Eva and when they got a chance they just couldn't resist and had plans to move her over and this seemed like the best way
I am so glad that I got to read this whole series I followed it along the whole way and the spice is off the chains every one of these novels and novellas made sure that they just got hotter and hotter as they went along and I can't wait to see what else comes from these authors so glad that I was an arc reader

Let me preface this review with I love omegaverse. I’m a total mood reader and this is my go-to genre when I don’t know what I want to read.
Over My Dead Body is one of those books that you fly through pretty quickly. When you finish and think about it, it’s more “okay, that was good” than a “I’m completely wrecked” kind of read.
The story has a preface that there is a short novella prequel and I’m so glad that I read that because it was a great introduction to the characters. This book had an interesting storyline and leans a little darker, but the plot doesn’t always feel as deep or fully developed as it could have been. There are moments where it pulls you in but it never quite hits that next level of emotional impact. It’s engaging enough to keep you reading, just not one that fully consumes you.
The characters are solid, but not overly memorable. There were times I wanted a little more depth or connection.
The pacing overall is quick, which makes it an easy read, but it also contributes to the story feeling a bit surface-level. Some emotional beats and plot points could have used more time to fully land.
If you’re looking for something deeply emotional or plot-heavy, this might fall a little short. Perfect for when you want something quick, steamy, and easy to get through.

I really enjoyed this book! It had so many things that I loved like omegaverse and masked men. Eva is an omega that meets a slightly disfunctional pack on a halloween party. She is a popular streamer on both the normal platform and also the after dark one but when the pack makes her an offer she can't refuse. They offer her enough money to start her game designing and in exchange she has their baby. What could go wrong? Eva knows some people in the pack and there are some issues going on. But feelings start to develop between them.
I really loved these pack dynamics as they weren't perfect. Indi and Joon got along great but Joon did not get along well with the other alpha's. He is the omega that had something happen to them before he joined the pack. Marcus is the alpha that seems the calmest as he also is a chef and I liked his story with Joon as they really annoying each other a lot. Cameo is the most mysterious alpha of them all I think and he had this whole idea with Eva to get her to join the pack. I loved how he was really protective of her.

I struggled with this one and I really hate that I struggled with this one. I'm wondering if I missed some things in this book because I feel like how these characters were written, some of them just didn't click for me. I'd usually be a massive fan of characters like Cameo but, he sucked. At least with everyone else, they grew as characters and I loved how they wanted to make themselves better for each other.
Once I look past my irritation, it was a solid book. I always love an omegaverse, especially with 2 omegas (it's one of my favourite tropes). I loved Joon so much, he deserved so much better and to watch him grow through the book was gorgeous, I just fell more and more in love with him! And then there was Indi. What a beautiful, patient and sweet soul. Eva, another super lovely character who dreamed of being in a pack. Finally, there is Marcus. A complex character with a lot of past trauma and trust issues. Although, this book didn't really click with me, it was still written well, I loved the darker themes throughout and Joon was my guy!
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to read and review your book!

Hearbreak after Hearbreak Eva is left realizing that she ain’t cut for a pack and it’s time for here to leave behind wishes and focus on her dreams opening her own game studio but between rent and her student loans she doesn’t have enough money so it’s here that the pack that she hooked up at the Omega’s Halloween party comes in scene proposing her an offer she can’t refuse and i know you’re asking what’s the catch right?
They want her to have their pack baby.
What a nice reading!
I highly recommend that you read Dead 2 me novella before starting Over my dead body just so you can have a clearer image of what’s going to happen.
I’m very new to the omegaverse books but i enjoyed this story so much!
This reading was so spicy,kinky, and of course with a big of drama.
I loved the dynamics between all of them and omg the tension and the chemistry was so damn intense too i also want to see that seeing Joon finally open up and let his pack love him the way he deserves was so special and heartwarming.
If you want to jump in the omegaverse books i highly recommend this reading to you!

I received a copy of the ARC from Smuthood and am voluntarily leaving this review. All opinions are my own.
I really enjoyed this book. I love how realistic all the relationships were. They were messy, and sometimes the people in them were not the best at communicating, but I love that. I really love when authors make their relationships within their books messy because real life is messy, and I know reading books is an escape, but sometimes things can just be too perfect, and letting the characters be messy just makes them feel so much more human.
I also just really loved every one of these characters; they are all so complex, and I loved their relationships with each other. Bex Deveau and L.E. Eldridge did a fantastic job at building their relationships while also adding in some of the best spice I have ever read. I am just fully obsessed with this entire pack, and honestly, I loved every second of this book.
If you like omegaverse, I fully and completely recommend this series, and I cannot wait for the next book (I am hoping Mason gets one)

ARC REVIEW |
This omegaverse was so much fun to read 😭
After some disappointing reads this was exactly what I needed. I’ve also never read one with a male omega.. or TWO Omegas
We have FIVE POVs - and it was excellent 🥹
I loved getting to know the personalities of each pack member.
Eva (omega) - girly, gamer/cam girl who loves pink
Indigo (alpha) - chill, non-binary gamer
Joon (omega) - Indigo’s boyfriend and a talented but sensitive graphic designer
Cameo (alpha) - rich entrepreneur with stalker tendencies and he probably has OCD (don’t quote me on that)
Marcus (alpha) - extremely organized and serious chef
Cameo is my favourite 🤣 he hates germs. Eva’s crying almost sent him into orbit multiple times because the snot was so disgusting. He even offered to buy a new car just so she would stop crying 😭
The spice was sooo good but it didn’t overshadow the main story. I was locked in from Chapter 1. I’m actually surprised I finished this so fast.
If you love a good omegaverse, this one is for you.

This book was so different from any Omegaverse story I’ve read before (I’m still newer to this realm so it’s not a ton) - the gaming aspect was what really made it different. It definitely has dark themes - like mask and knife play/stalking but also had family/warm vibes too.
I would recommend reading the pre-novella called Dead 2 Me - it introduced the characters which was nice for me being that this series was new to me. Joon and Eva had instant chemistry that carries over into this book - Joon is already boyfriends with Indigo and trying to bond with his pack. I honestly loved each character in their own way - there’s a lot of healing and growth throughout this story. Joon grows and heals so much from his past traumas and the way they all love Eva (even outside of the contract) had me in my feels!
I don’t always like a huge group setting but I was digging the dynamic here - there’s spice was definitely sizzling for sure! Thank you to the author and The Smuthood for the early read. All opinions are my own.

🌟 5/5
🌶️ 4/5
This book was a wild ride all the way from the novella to here. It keeps your attention from the very beginning. It has all the trauma, growly alphas, and spice you could need.
This one is featuring Joon and Eva, our two omegas, and their alphas. Both Joon and Eva haven’t had the best luck with relationships. After the events in the novella this pack ends up spending a lot of time with Eva due to a contract and our story unfolds from there. Watching them both grow and overcome in this book was amazing. The alphas growth was perfection too. And the spice!? 🥵 Absolutely 10/10.
Over all this was a five star read for me. I loved the fast paced writing. I loved all of the characters. And I know we aren’t supposed to choose but Indi is my favorite. I’ll die on this hill.
I can’t wait to check out more from this series. 🖤

🌶🌶🌶🌶
Okay this was smutty AF and I was HERE for it. This is my first omegaverse book, and I really enjoyed it. After reading some other reviews and people saying usually its nurturing and cutesy I think this is far more my vibe. Everyone is sooo toxic in the first half of this book and if you like good communication...this book doesn't have it. Everyone just assumes they either know or don't want to say it so they mask it under being a dick or just leaving. The banter was on point, I love when people are dicks personally so 💁🏼♀️ really was my vibe.
There is a "suspenseful" edge to it which i appriciate because i feel like it needed that bit to bring everyone together properly and dive into learning more about Joon which to me was important. I really vibe with the overall writing, I love that the authors had fun and found a way to make it feel like this book wasnt as long as it is.
Will defs check out more by these authors 🥹

This book was pure chaos and I am so here for it!
I have been (not so) patiently waiting for this book since I read Dead 2 Me on release day last year and i had such a great time!
I love Eva and the way all the MMCs are so obsessed with her!
Indi is the sweetest and my absolute fave, Cameo is just insane, although not sure his level of feral is for me😂, and Marcus is so unexpectedly thoughtful!
I’m not sure how i feel about Joon but loving that his brother is mafia😂
I really liked the fact that even though there was a contract involved they were all open and hoping for Eva to end up with them, they weren’t closed off at all and were willing to put in the work so that she would want to stay.
The plot of this book was absolutely insane but everything worked really well together and I love being in this universe.
Love seeing more of Tara and her pack!
Hoping this won’t be the last we see of these character!

Review of advance copy
I really enjoyed getting to know and fall for Eva, Joon, and their alphas! Eva is a streamer that wants to create her own game, with a serious crush on a fellow streamer (as well as his pack after a steamy heat encounter!). Joon is an Omega artist struggling to feel like he's truly in a safe place. Indigo is a hot streamer, with a penchant for dolls. Cameo is an alpha determined to have what he wants, whatever he has to do to make it happen, and Marcus is a slightly uptight chef that just may be hiding something more.
After an unexpected offer and some outside drama, Eva winds up getting closer to the pack than expected. There was so much spice, kink, trauma, drama, and action throughout this book, you really don't know what's coming next!

This was such a good read. You must read the novella Dead 2 Me to get a little preview of this pack before reading Over My Dead Body. There were so many different personalities that just clicked together. Some of the relationships started off so toxic but turned into something magical. It was so nice to see the characters have to work through their problems to find their happiness.
Its a perfect read if your looking for
✅️Omegaverse
✅️ Masked Men
✅️ Surprise Bonding
✅️ Two Omegas
✅️ BDSM dynamics
✅️ Spice
The book captured my attention from the very first page and I struggled to put it down. I absolutely love a good omegaverse book. I would love to read more from these authors.

Was this book long? Yes…did I read it in a day and a half? Also yes. I’m still getting used to the omegaverse but I’m enjoying the ride. I honestly enjoyed the dynamics between Indi, Joon, Marcus, Cameo and Eva. It took a minute to remember who was who and what was happening but I enjoyed seeing their relationships with each other grow as they realized what was missing before finding Eva. I think because there were so many people, that’s why the book was so long. There needed to be time to get everyone’s POV and have development but phew 500 pages is a lot. Even though it was long, you should give it a read. It’s pretty quick and entertaining and the spice is spicy.
Thank you the Smuthood and the authors for the eARC.

Eva | Joon, Cameo, Marcus & Indi(go).
This is my first book by Bex & L.E. and I LOVED IT. The typical type of omegaverse that I've read in the past hasn't had the topic of a 'baby momma for hire.' But hey! I loved it and the precipice of it. I really enjoyed the easy flow of these characters and how they meshed so well. Having not read the prequel to this book I dove in eyes wide open. Now that I have though, I will go back and read it since some things were mentioned that I would LOVE to see.

This was an arc review. Thank you to the authors and team for giving me the opportunity to read this book. I have raved about this series and omega verse. I definitely love getting to know the pack more because in the first book it was a quick introduction. I understand Joon’s hesitancy and fears but at the same time sometimes I wanted to just slap them. Marcus was one of my favorite characters. I overall love this group and I liked the story. It had the perfect amount of spice with getting to know the characters. I feel the authors always build great characters. I would recommend this for anyone who loves omega versus and anyone who’s dipping their toes.
March 28, 2026
The good: this was a fun ride. I was sucked in immediately - drawn to the characters and their dynamics. I didn’t realize there was a novella so I got about 10-15% in before reading Dead 2 Me. I devoured the first third of OVer My Dead Body but then it started to become super predictable and not as gratifying as I had hoped.
The bad: not sure if it was just my version of the eARC but there were several spelling mistakes as well as timeline/character discrepancies… enough that I noticed it when I historically gloss over those sort of things.

Spicy sweet read
The steam in this book was so good it had me questioning my own boundaries a little omg. I loved the depth of the characters and even though at parts I wanted to bang their heads together, I enjoyed the emotional turmoil of the relationships with Joon. The breeding/pregnancy aspect was more of an excuse to convince Eva than a genuine trope imo, although there were plenty of mentions and there was pregnancy at the end. I would've loved to have an epilogue seeing Cameo actually having to deal with a baby, that would've been hilarious!

Did not finish
March 29, 2026Coming from a dark romance reader, this book was not for me. I did not fully understand the omegaverse genre before diving into this book, and it’s not a genre I’ll reach for again. I also didn’t realize until I started that there was a prequel, however, I don’t think the prequel would have had an effect on my understanding of this book. I’m not a gamer nor do I have any idea about any of the lingo or anything about video games. There is so much lingo that I felt absolutely lost. I also did not connect with any characters like I normally do.

An Omega streamer meets another omega
and his almost pack at the packtacular event, in
book 1, in book 2 the pack (even the omega man
are still enamored with her. They all decide they want a baby and use that (and her need for money) to convince her to sign a surrogacy contract even though that was just an excuse to get her and show her they can be the pack for her! will they win the heart of our gamer girl? Will her stalker take her from them forever? Will Joon ever calm down his brattiness? I guess you’ll have to read to find out.

Well damn. Tie me up and spank me and call me finished! What. The. Pack. Did I just read!? Yes please! This was freaking hot and dirty and I was down for it. I’m sure there was a story in there somewhere, and really good one at that. But I got lost in all the heavy heavenly filth of this one. This was so good! Those alphas and omegas really know how to get down. Thx so much for letting me be a part of this ARC team. This was hot and spicy and I need more. Seriously though, the story was really good. Edge of my seat, holding onto my iPad for life kind of good.
Review of advance copy received from Author
So I just dove in without reading anything prior and I still enjoyed it. The tension between everyone in the pack. Eva strong and just trying to keep calm and keep from everything else falling apart. Cameo is determined and won't let anything mess with what he wants. Joon just wants to feel like he's making the right decision and not jumping in. Two Omegas, a whole lot of gaming, a stalker, a baby contract, and spice. What more could you ask for in a read.
