Match: Damselverse
As a child, my grandmother taught me to never play with matches.
Yet I still decide to sneak down into the basement of an Alpha’s bookstore one cold, miserable night… and set it on fire.
Now, as my world goes down in flames, and I contemplate all my life choices, they appear—three mysterious Alphas.
My dream pack.
However, when I awake again, I learn they had just been a result of all the smoke I’d inhaled. It appears my dream pack hadn’t really come for me in that burning building after all.
Well, that’s not entirely true. They did come for. In the form of Pack Hope.
There’s Dane, the hunky firefighter who’d just rescued me from the flaming pits of hell. Then there’s his bookworm pack brother, Penn, the Alpha whose basement I’d just burned down, and who definitely doesn’t hate me.
And lastly, Aiden, the attractive veterinarian who harbors a soft spot for all animals—maybe even for an Omega like me.
Pack Hope may just be the hope I’m looking for. But can I win them over before my old pack tracks me down and punishes me for leaving them?
Or will I be condemned to be a runaway Omega forever?
Match is a sweet Omegaverse standalone retelling where the FMC doesn't have to choose. Trigger warnings apply.

I so wanted to like this one.. but it was bad.. like, really bad. Read like AI-written, which I'm not saying it is, but it read like one..
The details didn't match, there was no chemistry between the characters, like at all, everything happened fast but nothing happened anyway, nothing made sense..
I mean, it's AI or first draft, I'm sorry.
It'd be amazing startingpoint for a good book after it'd be fact-checked (inside the story I mean, facts changed in the middle many times), fleshed out etc. >__>''

glad no animals died.
I think the potential is there… but I also think it needs a bit of a rework. It felt rushed & I understand part of that is due to the length but I personally don’t think instalove and trauma are a good match. She’s on the run from this awful group of alphas to the point she’s hiding but she’s immediately cool with 3 random alphas? I understand they’re matches but it was disappointing to see her disregard her trauma at the first chance she got.
The way the author is writing about veterinary care bothers me due to the inaccuracy portrayed. At multiple points in the book he has 3 animals to spay/neuter and cats specifically take like max half an hour to fix. Dogs can take a little bit longer but these super long days that have sucked the life out of him would take at most 3 hours. If there were complications sure I’ll give him the long day but that’s not portrayed to us.
My third main complaint is due to the “touch her and die” trope… sorry but a pacifist who can just magically fight was annoying to see. We see penn constantly portrayed as the last to fight and the most level headed according to penn and those around him and then not only see no evidence of that but also says otherwise. The dude with the “shortest fuse” a known “hot head” by penns description doesn’t lose his cool. Also I’m sorry but it’s really hard for me to see traditional jobs portrayed with “touch her and die” when outside of like 3 scenes none of them show any ability or willingness to do anything. It’s just unrealistic & pulled me from the story.
One final thought is about the fact this book is a retelling that literally mentions the original author… how is it a retelling if the original exists in this book?

DNF at 5%
I literally had to call it quites about a dozen pages in. There was just something so cringey about the "please sir, would you like to buy a match?" thing in a modern day novel, and I get the idea of it being a spin off of The Little Match Girl story, but it's not actually because the only similarity between the two is that the girl was raised by her grandma, homeless, and sold matches... not particularly a good play on the story when majority of it isn't similar at all. Also, in what universe (this one apparently) does a bookstore have a random shower in the basement? Like that that's just some weird detail the author put in without making actual logical sense.
Just those facts alone put me right off from the story honestly. I should have learned my lesson from years ago when I tried reading another book from this author and got about the same amount through it before tapping out since it was so bad. Never again.

strike a match and you might meet your soulmate!
I enjoyed this story. Halle is a homeless omega on the run from a disgusting pack of alphas. While staying in the basement of a bookstore she accidentally sets it on fire.
Dane is a firefighter who has this unexplainable feeling to check the basement and he finds Halle. Penn owns the bookstore that went blazing up. However, Penn isn’t really mad about the bookstore when he finds out that he and Dane are scent matched with Halle. Que in the last alpha of Pack Hope Aiden. Aiden is a vet and he is upset with Halle for burning the bookstore and hurting Penn.
The animal reference are my absolute favorite with how the characters interact with them. Penn is also my favorite Alpha.

Enjoyed
I enjoyed this story. I really love Violet’s writing and this one was another good story. It was definitely different and something I looked forward to. This was a little bit more of a shorter read but I still enjoyed it. I liked getting to know the pack and how they want Halle. Halle is going through a lot when she meets this pack and I do like how they get to know her. I do wish this story was a little longer though and flushed out a little bit. I do feel like parts of it were rushed just a bit.
Overall, this story was a quick and sweet read. I enjoyed getting to know the characters and can’t wait for what Violet writes next!

Halle’s pack - Dane, Penn & Aiden
Well in this case, Halle really did go from the frying pan to the fire - or from a bad situation to a worse one. Until she was rescued by a sweet, handsome alpha - who happened to be her scent match. All of which led to her finding her true pack. Of course it wasn’t that easy to get away from her bad situation, but true love conquers all! This one was short, sweet and very steamy.

Pack Hope
This was my first book from this author and it did not disappoint. I was hooked from the first chapter. Love see how everything changed and developed between Halle, Dane, Penn and Adien.

Match by Violet Fox is a retelling the A little match girl. I had never heard of this before. This was a cute story. I loved Pack Hope.

Was that written by AI?
It is one of the cheesiest, most cliche, formulaic pieces of crap I've ever read.
I have almost never truly rated anything one star, but this is just that bad.

I really had high hopes for this one. Unfortunately in my opinion this book fell completely flat. No chemistry between characters, poor writing (AI?), bad pacing, and fangs…

Rushed
The whole story is rushed which makes aspects of the story unbelievable. However, if you are after a quick read it does the job.

An Omega with a lighter, three smoking-hot Alphas, and one very unlucky bookstore? Match is equal parts chaos, charm, and chemistry.
After accidentally setting fire to an Alpha's basement (oops), Halle finds herself tangled up with Pack Hope, aka a firefighter, a broody bookseller, and a soft-hearted vet who might be her perfect match.
With steamy tension, found family feels, and a heroine determined to escape her past, this Omegaverse romance burns bright and fast in all the right ways.

Pack Hope
A short book that really wasn't that bad, just missing something. The book felt rushed with very little detailed information. The actual plot was cute, but every encounter felt rushed.
