Dead 2 Me

The Streamverse #1.5

by Bex Deveau, L.E. Eldridge

From the authors of Game OVer, Bex Deveau and L.E. Eldridge, comes a night of masked men chasing down their omega…(s).

What’s a girl to do during a bad breakup—cry, eat icecream, and watch bad movies?

That was my plan, until my best friend convinced me the best way to keep from being bitter was to be better. A task easier than pressing next episode when it meant attending the Omega’s Lust Halloween bash.

I’d barely been to the heat hotel since I’d started dating my ex, much less attended an event, but a night out absolutely sounded better than cold pizza in my sweatpants.

When a chance encounter with another omega turns lighthearted fun into a devious night of play—the pull I feel to his peculiar pack is undeniable.

It’s only for tonight, at least that’s what I keep telling myself until I realize my longtime crush is at the centre of this gorgeous omega’s alphas.

Medic, my heart needs healing!

Dead 2 Me is the prequel novella to OVer My Dead A Knotty Masked Omegaverse! If you love high heat, obsessed alphas, scent matching and chase scenes, pick it up today! Though this book is technically standalone, we recommend starting with Game On/Game OVer. For a full list of trigger warnings, please visit the author’s website.

About the author

I'm a cat-mom of two, wife and spicy romance enthusiast living in Edmonton, AB. You can usually find me curled up on the sofa surrounded by a hundred pillows and reading on my kindle (or, y'know, writing.) Becoming my bestie is easy! You just need an undying love of all things sweet and be cool with watching the same five movies on repeat.

fast and spicy dark-ish omegaverse

This was a really quick and fun omegaverse interlude. Eva, recently single but long-term unsatisfied, heads out for a night on the town to an omegaverse party/club night complete with colored wristbands to indicate what level of play everyone is up for. And Eva is up for anything, except maybe commitment.

The spice was spicing with lots of D/s undertones. I loved Eva’s snark and attitude and can’t wait to see more of that interplay with Cameo, Indigo and Marcus in the follow up.

I love male omegas, especially when they are overly omega-y. 🫶🏻

3.5 ⭐️ rounding down for GR - this was exactly what I expected, 5 🌶️ ABO fun.

[Jennifer Gibson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Short and SPICY prequel novella. Newly single Eva agrees to go to a Halloween free for all with her friend Tara and her pack. She is an unmated omega and was tied down to a beta previously. She decides to wear the green bracelet, meaning anything goes. She goes dressed as one of her favorite video game characters, and runs into a male omega wearing the same. After some alpha confusion, she is caught by one alpha, and the other omega Joon, another.

So spicy, I cannot wait for the next book with that teaser ending! Masked play, primal chase, knife play. Check triggers.

Screaming, giggling and kicking my feet!!
She is addicted she has entered her omega verse era.

I do hope Joon will grow on me on the next story.
Because in this one I found him annoying, pick me energy and verg hypocritical. Safe to say I am not a fan as of yet.

I have enjoyed and loved every single one of the Streamverse books so far but omg Dead 2 Me just took the #1 spot. Why? Well it’s bc I think I forgot to breathe a few times due to how H0T it is 🤤🤤 There is nothing I love more than well-written spice that makes me question my morals and yeah, this did that to me. Walking to take a cold shower as we speak, this almost sent ME into heat. (I get you, Eva.)

I’m OBSESSED with the vibes in this, the outfit descriptions, the masks…and I was SO HAPPY to see our babies from Game OVer—Tara, Jesse and Charlie—make an appearance as well!! So fun, so s3xy, and I am chomping at the bit for Over My Dead Body. Gimmeeee 😍😍😍

A Streamverse Prequel Novella🩷

🩷OH MY. This is such a hot and steamy bite! I NEED MORE! And good news, this is a prequel for an upcoming novel, Over My Dead Body. This prequel presents two omegas and a pack of alphas at a haunted carnival (mostly in the mirror fun house) with their messy meet cute.

🩷Someone may need to alert my hubbie, because the steam this tasty morsel generated may have messed up the overall humidity levels in my house. I absolutely DEVOURED this novella and just in time for Halloween! (Masked Men, yummy)

🩷While this does not leave you on a painful cliffhanger, it certainly does not give our main characters their happily ever after yet. I am SO excited for Over My Dead Body to come out to read their whole story! I adore a double omega combo (oh yeah, and I think they are going to be down bad for each other) and these alphas are hooootttttttt.

Oh. My. LAWWWWD! Let me tell you, these ladies do not play around 🥵 Bex and L.E. are a dynamic duo who know exactly what they're doing. Dead 2 Me is an omegaverse novella set during the spooky season where the tricks are just as sweet as the treats, if not more. We have primal chase scenes, voyeurism, a lot of teasing, and heavy sexual tension. Three masked alphas, a mirror maze, two omegas, and a surprise heat makes for a very, very interesting night.
I have got to say, I did not expect half of what went down, but man oh man did I love it all. I was so happy that Tara, Charlie, and Jesse had an appearance in the story, it made it all the better. I'd love to have Tara as my bestie. The entire novella was just one big ball of fun and I really hope Eva finds her HEA!
I cannot wait for OVer My Dead Body. I am itching for more. Eva doesn't know what she just strutted into, but I'm willing to bet that she's going to find out, and so will we, on May 20th. It's so far away!

Dead 2 Me by L.E. Eldridge and Bex Beveau

I came across this book from the recommended on KU section and OMG I wasn't disappointed at all. I couldn't put this down because I was hooked the moment I started.

What happens when you go from getting over a break up to ending up with an omega and his alphas?

Eva is going through a break up from her loser ex and she is curled up on the couch snacking and watching movies. When her best friends tells her they are going to dress up and go out to cheer her up.

Joon and his alphas are going to a haunted carnival all dressed up.

What happens when Joon stumbles upon Eva and things start to heat up?

I couldn't put this down! I was so OBSESSED and when I got to the end I was bummed it was over. I NEED the next book like now! I can't wait to read more of these characters. I mean steamy and spicy fun in a mirror maze 🔥 sign me up immediately

4,5 stars

Short and spicy Halloween themed omegaverse novella with masked characters, surprise heat, primal play, knife play and hand necklaces. Part of The Streamverse series, prequel to OVer My Dead Body.

I really enjoyed this short novella and after that cliffhanger ending, I can’t wait to read OVer My Dead Body. Loved seeing Tara, Charlie & Jesse from Game On & Game Over.

I highly recommend checking out this series if you enjoy deliciously spicy omegaverse stories.

[Delaney · Rating 5 out of 5]

I will come back to format this correctly in the morning

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is everything I wanted it to be and more, I really cannot wait for the next book in this series! This novella sets everything up so well and I am just desperate for more. Every character seems so interesting and I loved every moment of them in this novella. I also loved the setting, it was truly perfect.

🎃Two Omegas
🧡Masked Alphas
🖤Halloween at the Heat Hotel

2.75 ⭐️’s

If you’re just looking for straight up smut and very little plot, this is going to be perfect for you. I won’t lie I kind of liked the idea of this whole thing set in like a carnival like setting. However I kind of wish this was maybe a hundred pages longer? At least to set the tone and plot more as well as to get to know the characters better since there’s so many of them.

[Gabby Matar · Rating 4 out of 5]

Spicy fun!! 🥵🥵 Loved the carnival halloween event vibes hosted (quite responsibly and exclusive) by Omega’s Lust (the heat hotel) !! There was the adrenaline from the chase and masks and a mirror maze! With some good build up too. Loved getting to see the pack from Game Over again lol the leashes looked fun.

my god I was ovulating reading this

Why run when you beg

Another amazing novella from these two ladies!!! It sucks you in and devours your full attention! The kink it *chefs kiss*
Now the torture of months of waiting for another book in the series

[Sara Woods · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved it!

Loved it! This was a great book! I had no idea that omegaverse books could be this good! Wow! Seriously... It was hot, fun, creative, and sexy! Looking forward to the next one!!!!

[Kay - kayreads_romance · Rating 3 out of 5]

excited for this series!

I liked this one once I got about 50% through?
I do think it could have used one more round of editing.
I liked the first two books in the series a lot and I’m excited to see where Bex and Lexie take these characters!

[Kitm0nster · Rating 4 out of 5]

What a hot little intro to the characters for the next full Streamverse book! The potential dynamics in that book sound amazing!

Yes if: A Halloween themed smutty Omegaverse romp sounds fun

No if: You hate cliffhangers of all sorts

[Tayler · Rating 5 out of 5]

I recently met these two authors at Spellbound in the Valley and I bought this book because they are amazing and the cover got me.

Boy was I unprepared for how I would INHALE this story. Omegaverse meets my love of dark masked romance??? Say less.

Actually no say more, I need more people!!

going in blind

When you want to settle down but the one person you thought would turned out to be a d bag, you go to a mex club with you friend who has a pack. And oh my gosh! When she gets there’s game over! I can’t wait to see how her story plays out!

⭐️ 4 - I read this in just a few hours, it was fun, spicy and was a great intro into the mcs book. I loved Game Over and was so excited to see some background characters get a chance to shine! The pack dynamics are so fun and I can't wait to see what they get up to in the full novel!

WHAT A NOVELLA! I’m sweating! Quick and super spicy! Wow! Loved the overlap to the Game On book with some of the characters. You definitely don’t want to skip this one! Looking forward to the next story!
