His Snowbound Omega: A Dark MM Omegaverse Romance Novella

Rate this book
Thorn Winters will spend this holiday season running.

Thanks to his father and sick brother, he's got debts piling up, and unfortunately for him, those debts are owed to the White Frost Mafia. When he's sent an invitation to the White Hunt, a mock version of the Wild Hunt, where omegas are ordered to run for alpha amusement, Thorn rightfully hesitates before accepting. Winning could clear his family debt, but losing might find him beneath an alpha, and rumors have it, not all omegas make it out of the White Hunt alive.

Baal Fae wants an omega for Yuletide.

Not just any omega. One glimpse of Thorn Winters has him craving the other man instantly. As the Underboss in the White Frost, he gets first pick during the Hunt, and he plans on claiming his omega in every way it counts. If he has to dangle the health and safety of Thorn's family over his head to get him to submit? So be it. On Synastry, it isn't just acceptable for an alpha to go to any length to claim their mate, it's encouraged.

Thorn can run, but he won't get far.

Notes/Trigger This is an omegaverse novella told in the same universe as His Secret Omega and Devil May Hunt. It is a standalone. Expect high heat, getting all tangled up in the Christmas lights, and power play. This is a Dark MM Sci-Fi Omegaverse Romance, which means there are many themes that some might find disturbing. Some of these include, but are not limited to, dub-con, forced proximity, and explicit sexual content not suitable for all readers. Please be sure to read the Author's Note for a complete list of warnings! HEA guarantee!

What started out as a Dark Romance basically turned into a fluff piece. Not what I expected.


“Wanted you for forever,” […]
“Waited. Was good. Tried to make it easier for you. Better. I didn’t want to be another version of your father, forcing you into things before you were ready.”


“You’ll be taken care of,” the alpha continued, in that same unbalanced tone. “You’ll want for nothing. But you will be mine.” He held Thorn’s head in place. “You’ll be mine alone. Nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide. Hate me if you must, but do it by my side.”

I’m back on the Omegaverse train with a brand new, super spicy Christmas novella!

This story is set on Synestry, a brutal planet where everyone is designated Alpha or Omega and Omegas are treated as second class citizens - commodities to be used by Alphas. Our Omega MC Thorn is desperate - he owes a lot of money to the mafia, and needs more to pay for his little brother’s medical care. As a last ditch attempt, he joins the wild hunt, where Alphas chase Omegas through the snow, and can do whatever they want with them when caught… but any Omega who escapes the hunt has all of their debts forgiven.

Baal is mafia underboss; a figure that inspires terror. So when he spots a sweet little white-haired omega running for his life in the hunt, Baal knows exactly what he’s going to do… chase him.

Read His Snowbound Omega for:
✨ Alpha x Omega
✨ Primal play (but they’re not playing…)
✨ Non-con & dub-con
✨ Breeding contract (but no mpreg)
✨ Heats, ruts, knotting
✨ Forced proximity
✨ Caretaking
✨ Possessive & obsessive

Thanks to Chani for letting me read an early copy! It’s available on Christmas Day ❄️

I grabbed an ARC of this book from booksirens because I absolutely couldn't wait to start it. This author is an addiction to me.

This book is less than 200 pages, but I still felt pulled in as if it was a full length novel. I think the plot flowed really well and Thorn falling for Baal so quickly made sense. I'm also sensing spinoffs for the mafia boss and maybe a story for Aster & Espen?

Anyhow, what did I like? I love when the intense character is all in and knows what they want. Baal trying to manipulate and scheme Thorn into loving him is so my taste. I like that Thorn is a bit rougher too and willing to think through his fear. He doesn't cower.

It was such a fun read and I look forward to more!

Thorn is 22. His brother has a pheromone disorder that threatens his life, and he has to work three jobs to try to cover their bills. His father got indebted to the mafia because he was desperate for money, and he died drinking himself to death. Thorn is an Omega and he's been invited to participate in a hunt run by the mafia where alphas hunt omegas and if the Omega can make it to a cabin, they can win freedom from their debt. Thorn has been to this Forest before, so he has an advantage. However, just as he's about to get his freedom, the underboss of the mafia Baal captures him. Baal, 26, wants more with Thorn. He is obsessed with him, has been aware of him for years since they had a chance meeting, and he forces Thorn into a breeding contract (which because of their planet's infertility, is basically a permanent relationship) in exchange for providing for Thorn's brother.

I liked this book. I liked each of the characters, especially Thorn because he was so spunky, snarky, strong, and protective of his brother / self-sacrificing. I liked the dynamic between the two, that Baal was so obsessed and would do whatever he needed to to tie Thorn to him. The steam between them was great.

There was one thing that I didn't like, and this is a spoiler for a twist so spoiler warning! It's implied that when Baal was 21 and Thorn was 17, Baal was poor on the street starving and almost stole a sandwich from Thorn's brother, and Thorn stared Baal down and gave him his sandwich instead. And that started his obsession with Thorn. I would have been fine with that, but Baal tells that story to Thorn without mentioning it was him and his brother, and Thorn has no recollection of it being him. It comes off as if it was just an afterthought where the author decided to make Thorn part of that moment and forgot to go back and change the conversation so that Thorn was aware it was him. Thorn was plenty old enough to remember that. And I find it unbelievable that Baal wouldn't have made a move earlier. He's not a shy guy. So I just don't think that part of the plot was handled right.


Some notable moments:

"He wanted the omega. He wanted him on his knees, head bowed. Wanted him wrapped around his finger, seated on his cock, and collared to his bedpost. Last night, it’d taken every ounce of willpower Baal possessed not to bite the omega and be done with it."

"“This feels worse than after the cabin.” “That’s probably because we were only at the cabin for a night, and we’ve been here for four days.” A mouthful of caffeine exploded past his lips, spraying across the counter. Baal gave almost no reaction to his mess, calmly chewing a bite while he waited for Thorn to regain his composure. “Excuse me? Did you say four days?!”"


*FYI about steam: I rate steam based on a combination of quality & quantity. I note kink separate from steam because I don't want to underrate steamy reads that don't have much kink.

**Note about spoilers: I like to comment on the plot of a book in reviews, so I almost always mark my reviews as containing spoilers. But I try to avoid spoiling the big dramatic moments! As a reader, I personally like to know what I'm getting into before I read a book so I know more about the content and if it's to my taste/mood, so I try to give that information in my reviews for myself when I'm considering rereading and also for other readers.

Not really feeling the dark vibes??? Just felt like a marriage contract book with stipulations and the White Hunt felt very short and a little lacklustre.

Also I think I want the author to switch up their story arch, the last three books have been the same. Like what if the omega actually admitted to falling hard and fast and throwing off the alphas plans in the very beginning? Maybe a tad bit of violence from these so called mafia dudes.

But I still love her writing, this is in no shape or form a bad book I’m just venting. Gonna read book 3 👍

This was just ok for me. Thorn was just a bit too self sacrificing it was annoying AF. We get it. You love your brother more than your own life😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😩.

I like when they have ruts and heats and we got both here and the pheromone manipulation is a nice touch to the Omegaverse but the story/plot was a bit stale.

What started out as a dark romance ended up feeling very sweet and fluffy at the end. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. I liked Baal's character at the beginning of the novella but I think he changed too much for my liking towards the end. Thorn was perfect, never change. I liked the dynamic between the two and it made for a quick read!

Another fun omegaverse story from Chani Lynn Feener. While still angsty, this one’s not as bleak/angsty as most of her other stories. This story is related to many of the author’s other books through the sci-fi/fantasy other world it’s set in, but it stands fully alone. You’ll just have a wider understanding of the world if you’ve read previous works. This story is set on planet Synastry, where birth rates (Mpreg) are down so low they’re near nonexistent.

This story isn’t my favorite; it seemed undercooked, especially around MC Baal, whom I got little sense of beyond him being the underboss in the White Mafia, but I still had a good time seeing him act tough then go soft for Thorn, the destitute omega he’s mildly obsessed with and has finally decided to claim. I say mildly and finally, because he took years to go after Thorn, which seemed a bit halfhearted and not possessive/obsessive the way I prefer. But they got there.

Due to his father dying in huge debt to the White Mafia and his little brother needing expensive medical care, Thorn’s joined the White Hunt, in which omegas are sent in the woods to run/hide/try to reach safety to negate their debts whilst being hunted down by the alphas of the White Mafia. Most will be caught and…who knows what happens next, they’re at the alpha who catches them’s mercy, but, a very few may reach safety and have their debts erased. Or please the alpha who catches them enough to erase the debts anyway. Thorn hopes hard to be one of them, and winds up the target of an alpha who he can’t quite believe has no intention of ever letting him get away.

I love the obsessive nature of the world and CLF’s writing, and I enjoyed both here. But I was also let down. Baal saw Thorn years ago and became intrigued, but…didn’t pursue him and seemed to have ignored his existence for years. So how obsessed could he really be? Thorn just wanting to save his brother and going along with Baal because he agreed to/had to for quite a while before he caught reciprocal feelings was also lackluster compared to some of my favorites by this author.

What I enjoyed most was tough-guy Baal bending over backward to make Thorn’s world easy and safe, despite not filling Thorn in on his intentions (or rather…he tried, but Thorn was like, yeah right, scoff scoff, what’s the catch? 😂 That was a lot of fun!) and leaving Thorn to assume the worst, but I also wondered why he just…let Thorn be for so long, and what his original plan was for winning and keeping Thorn. I also shocked myself by feeling he had no right to get jealous/possessive over Thorn having gone through heats and so forth w other alphas, because, really, Baal, where were you all that time? That didn’t work for me. I want my MCs OBSESSED. Touch him and DIE. Not…oh well, grow up, do what you gotta do with whoever, and when the time’s right, I’ll come for you.

Overall, I would have loved to get to know Baal better personally and have more insights to his motivations. Who are his family, why’s he in the mafia, who is he, apart from the underboss?

I also wanted more info on why omegas haven’t been getting pregnant on this planet. The birthrate has dropped drastically. What’s going on? Felt like setup for something that didn’t go anywhere yet. Perhaps we’ll learn more in subsequent stories.

It also isn’t clear what a “dominant alpha” is. Thorn’s been with alphas, but Baal is a dominant alpha, and that was different. So…all alphas aren’t naturally dominant? What’s the difference? That’s never explained, and it needed to be.

But I still had a great time! Loved Thorn’s brother, Aster, hope he gets a story.

HEA, hunter and prey, omegaverse. Non/dub-con sensibility. No OM drama/action or anything in the present, but enough mention of Thorns numerous past alpha lovers to be irritating and diminish the romance, bc Baal left him to them all that time. Some fun jealousy, but moreso on Thorn’s part. Meh. I want stronger obsessive-possessiveness! Still, yes, recommended.

My thanks to BookSirens for the ARC; this is my free and impartial opinion.

Socorro, isso aqui foi pura perfeição pervertida e deliciosa. Eu amei!

Achei que a Chani estava perdendo o jeito depois de seus últimos livros terem me decepcionado consecutivamente, mas, Jesus, isso aqui mostrou que ela ainda tá viva e escrevendo perversa e maravilhosamente bem. Continue assim pelo amor de Deus. Não amava tanto uma história dela desde Kelevra e Rin. Ainda bem que estou sempre disposta a dar uma chance para essa autora.

Estou animada para os próximos novamente e espero ver mais dinâmicas tão cheias de poder natural e possessividade novamente. Baal entregou tudo com sua obsessão por Thorn, fazendo jogadas incríveis para atrair seu omega para o lugar onde ele pertence. Ele é deliciosamente sombrio e dominante, mas ao mesmo tempo gentil e atencioso.
Nada me faz salivar mais do que um homem manipulador, ardiloso e completamente apaixonado, decidido a ir até às ultimas consequências para conseguir seu amor.

Thorn também foi adorável, me irrita personagens pateticamente submissos e sem disposição de questionar nada que lhe é imposto, ele soube a hora de se posicionar e lutar e a hora de ceder, gosto de meus personagens inteligentes e com amor próprio.

Eles formaram um casal poderoso e transbordando química, adorei os joguinhos mentais e disputa para ceder a atração, estou obcecada por eles, me julguem.
Achava que a autora não conseguia escrever um bom ABO, mas, mais uma vez, eu estava enganada. Isso foi o ápice do omegaverse, tão perfeito.

O ritmo foi ótimo e a construção de mundo muito bem feita como sempre. Obrigada pelo presente de natal maravilhoso. 💖

E eu quero muito a história do Leviathan Morningstar, simplesmente a áurea de poder que apenas esse nome exala, já me deixa louca.

This is a juicy little dark sci-fi OV novella, and I enjoyed it so so much!
 
I really admired Thorn’s character. The omega’s got such fire in him: he’s stubborn yet strong, smart and kind. He’ll sacrifice anything to save his brother.
 
I loved how Baal is so much more than you expect when you first meet him. It was incredibly hard not to grow attached to him, even with his ‘debatable’ persuasive techniques to get Thorn to be his.
 
Despite being an underboss in the mafia and using the wrong means to achieve his goal, it becomes clear that Baal will cherish his omega and treat him well, and he gets to proving this from the start. Baal’s praise and consideration are the first indications that he wants to be a good alpha to his omega, and I adored it. Nothing is too much to ensure Thorn’s happiness, and he extends that to help the omega’s brother too, showing him the same generous treatment.
 
I’ll admit I did very much appreciate all the breeding talk.
 
This is definitely a novella that I'd reread at some point.
 
-----

Some of my favourite quotes

“That’s good. Keep being good for me, omega, and I promise it’ll all be worth it.”

“I like it when you’re defiant, frosty omega. Just be careful not to take things too far.”

“What are you so afraid of?” “What if I don’t like it?” “Ah,” “You’re afraid you will. Don’t glare at me, omega. Open it and find out. I promise I won’t be mad at you either way.”

“The world isn’t going to explode if you relax and let me take care of you sometimes, Thorn. I promise.”
 
“I’m insatiable. I want all of you, Thorn Winters.”

Another Chani Lynn Feener banger in the…books *rimshot*

In book 2 of the Beguiled Omega series, CLF did the impossible and managed to fit a whole epic inside of one novella, complete with world building, character background, and a satisfying conclusion. An actual wizard in our midst.

In this shortish-but-sweet, we follow Thorn, a sweet sweetheart crushed by inherited debt owed to the local real-scary-mafia, the White Frost. He finds possible salvation in an unregulated version of the Wild Hunt, hosted by said real-scary-mafia, wherein if an invited Omega makes it to a checkpoint, their debts are cleared and they have the opportunity to live happily ever after.

In Thorn’s way is a marshmallow dressed as a monster dressed as a marshmallow (standard CLF fare) named Baal. Baal wants Thorn and will do anything (be the super sweetest and the super meanest) to get him.

This story was really friggin good and made me feel really good, eventually. CLF books to me are like how I’ve heard what it’s like to have a baby. At first, incredibly uncomfortable and bad-feeling. Before getting to a certain point, I feel a level of discontent I’d like to never feel again. But by the end I’m like “that wasn’t bad! I’d like another immediately!” Oooh girl, the s*kzual assault is s3xual assaultin’, but hang in there, baby. You got this! It’s worth it! (What are things I’ll never say to anyone in real life, Alex?)

I legit love how Chani does omegaverse and will definitely be rereading this while watching everyone celebrate holidays.

This Christmas miracle will be released on December 25th. Thank you Chani for the ARC, it was definitely the best gift I’ll receive this season.

A Gripping, Dark Omegaverse Holiday Tale That Stayed With Me

His Snowbound Omega by Chani Lynn Feener completely wowed me from start to finish. Thorn is one of the most compelling omegas I’ve read, driven, vulnerable, and fighting for his family’s survival in a cutthroat world. The way Feener places him in impossible circumstances, with his debts hanging over his head had me turning pages faster and faster.

And then there’s Baal — dangerous, commanding, and utterly irresistible. His presence looms large from the moment he enters the story. The dynamic between Baal and Thorn is intense, raw, and beautifully written. Their power play isn’t just physical or sexual—it’s emotional, psychological, and so addictively layered.

The cold setting perfectly mirrors the story’s tension and atmosphere, and the holiday backdrop adds a sharp contrast to the darker themes at the heart of the novella. Even with the darker elements and heavier triggers, Chani manages to build real emotional stakes and deliver scenes that stick with you long after you finish.

If you love dark MM romance with intense alpha/omega dynamics, high stakes, and unforgettable characters like Thorn and Baal, this book is an absolute must-read. I cannot wait to see what Chani does next in this universe!

4.5 stars!

This was sooo good! Stayed up as always whenever CLF releases a new book and was up till like 1 or 2am to read and then finished it in the morning. I didn't expect it to love it this much, because I wasn't the biggest fan of His Secret Omega and I really loved Devil May Hunt (I literally reread it for the 3rd time yesterday...) and I didn't expect another novella to be better than that one. Don't get me wrong, I still LOVE Devil May Hunt and Gunho and Brennon, but I think I fell for Thorn and Baal more...
I just really enjoyed how gentle Baal was and despite being like the usual MMCs OTT possessive and obsessive, he also had a softer side, especially for Thorn. He wasn't a golden retriever type at all, don't mistake him for that, but he had this dangerous but also gentle side to him and I really liked the opposing personalities together. And I am a sucker for a good praise kink (I wonder why...).
After I finished reading this, I instantly wanted to go back and start rereading it... Can I get ten more of these, please? Also curious about Levi. I know who he was in His Secret Omega, obviously, but I reaaaally hope he won't be part of a love triangle or MMM in His Forbidden Omega and will instead get his own book with another MMC? I am also fine with another novella!

Do I recommend this? YES! I don't think you need to read His Secret Omega to enjoy this at all! I would honestly just suggest skipping that for this one!

This book was as good as I expected it to be. Since I'm a big fan of this author, I tend to always enjoy her darker stories.

I understand why this story is a novella and not a full novel, but Their relationship became kinda sweet considering how it started, but I wish the author had taken everything into account. It could have been a lot better, felt more complete and real.

Want a sweet and spicy holiday read? Look no further!

I loved the first book about Omega's on Glyph and thankfully love this just as much 😈. It was interesting to see some characters mentioned in the first book and get some glimpses of Levi Morningstar (cannot wait for his book by the way 🤩).

Thorn & Baal were so splendidly good together, I absolutely adore their dynamic even how they met! Honestly for a dark romance, this is on the sweeter side and for a holiday read that was perfect 🥹. Baal just loved Thorn so much, and even in his scheming and cruelty he takes care of his omega and puts his needs first.

BUT don't let the sweetness fool you, the spice is spectacular as always with Chani 🥵 I mean who doesn't love some heats & ruts and lots of dirty talk mixed with praise? 😈🤤.

Definitely pick this up for a short, dark, sweet and spicy holiday read!

Dark but fluffy?

I love omegaverse, and no matter the many triggers they seem to have. I'm just a sicko who loves reading them so freaking much. This reads of dark with a hint of fluff. And follows much of the omegaverse, knotting, slick, power dynamics. Got ourselves an alpha who doesn't want to play by the rules to get the omega he wants and loves. And hes definitely not a knight in shining armor. But you can tell he cares for his omega in his own way. Our omega is strong, but skittish of the alpha, but who can blame him. It's confusing, and I don't blame him for his reservations of this particular alpha. It's not like the guy asked him on a proper date. There is a bit of being coerced in the beginning, and that could be triggering for some. But the rest reads a bit dark fluff for me the rest of the read

I received an Advanced Reader Copy.

I really enjoy reading this side of Chani. Her take on the Omegaverse and the two different kinds that she has written up. Thorn was bold and brash, very independent even when backed into a corner. He cares deeply for his brother but he accepted that he was falling in love with the pushy Alpha. Finding out Baal had feelings for Thorn way before the Hunt was a nice little twist. He cared and loved for him in his own way. The spice of course was very hot as usual. I really want to read about Levi. I hope to see him in the next book with Shiloh. There is definitely a different side of him and he seemed almost distraught, conflicted about his feelings and what happened to him.

This was a deliciously smutty read, and I loved every minute of it. I’m always here for possessive MCs and a satisfying Omega/Alpha dynamic, and this delivered exactly what I want from a Chani book. Her leads are reliably morally gray, intensely magnetic, and driven by a raw, carnal hunger for each other that I absolutely devour every time.

On top of the heat, I also really appreciate the emotional payoff—especially knowing her stories always stick the landing with a well-earned HEA. If you like your romance spicy, messy-in-the-best-way, and unapologetically obsessive, this one will hit the spot.

Oh, I just love everything about it.

You should heed the warning at the beginning of the book, but then it's a wonderful dark romance story that really packs a punch. You can feel the emotions, and so much happens that isn't directly expressed in words on the pages that you immerse yourself in the story in a completely different way.

I really like it when the writing style creates whole worlds in my head, and I was certainly not disappointed here.

So if you like AO stories and really understand the term ‘dark’, then this is the right choice for you.

A great read – I'd happily read it again.

Thorn, an Omega entered the White Hunt sponsored by the White Frost Mafia to erase his Father's debts earned by his brother's hospital bills. He hoped to escape but was caught by Baal, the Alpha Underboss. Baal induced Thorn's heat and pressured him into a relationship. This novella was all about heat, primal possession, obsession and breeding, ownership. Baal is as patient as he can tolerate but I love he's never letting Thorn go. Thorn is so insecure and stubborn, fighting giving his heart and trust. I loved the passion and sheer frenzy of their togetherness. It's high heat!!

Oh my! What an amazing book! I really, really enjoyed the storyline, the fast pace in the book, the characters (and characterbackground) and ofcourse the world building. Another great book and again not long enough, but that is with all her books... They are never long enough because you get into this world and want to see, read, know and enjoy more!
I can't wait to read the books with Levi and Espen story!

If you enjoy dark omegaverse, you'll have to read His Snowbound Omega ^^

SO Pleased I was able to read this one via an advanced copy for the Holidays. We get all the dark world building and characters with intense personalities and situations that I love from Chani with Thorn and Baal. The scenery maybe cold and dangerous feeling but the intense chemistry between thorn and the very powerful and possessive Baal was actually beautiful. Yes, Baal was going to take what he wanted which most certainly was Thorn, but the warm and just a bit gentle emotions displayed were everything.

Love everything about Chani Lynn Feener’s omegaverse! It’s dark but oddly sweet. Baal is a mafia boss who chased Thorn down during The Hunt and set him up in order to force him into a contract yet he also gifted him flowers after every time they spent the night together, paid attention to his interests, learned about his life and he visited Thorn’s brother in the hospital making sure he had what he needed during his recovery. I enjoyed their dynamic and relationship development. This was fun. I’m excited for the next book!

I love this little Christmas omegaverse novella. It's dark but it's also sweet.

CLF is so good at writing about that burning possessiveness that Baal feels towards Thorn. It gives me shivers. I have a massive crush on Baal. He is a big scary alpha but I love how he takes care of Thorn and looks after him and Aster.

Back in to the omegaverse! This was a quick, spicy Christmas novella. Baal will do whatever it takes to make Thorn his, even manipulate and force him, but the way he takes care of Thorn and his brother is so sweet. Thorn doesn’t make things easy but he does eventually give in to his feelings. This had me hooked from the beginning and I read it all in a couple of hours! Thank you to the author for the chance to read this early!

Dark, with primal play and CNC, this book gets its beautiful HEA. Thorn is a poor, overworked omega just trying to get his family out of crushing medical bills and get his teen brother the medical care he needs. When Baal, a second in the White Frost mafia shows an interest in him, Thorn cannot risk the chance to lose the payoff for all the debts. It's rough - just Baal likes it and, maybe Thorn, too. Fun reading!
