“I've been doing my best, but it's time to come to terms with things as they are.
I've been dealing with a long term illness. I don't really want to go into all the details (it's not cancer, promise!), but it's seriously affected my ability to work in general, and especially to write. I've been trying very hard to keep up with everything, but it's gotten to the point where I can't do so anymore.
What does this mean exactly? I'm afraid it means that I'm going to have to put this wonderful adventure back on the shelf. I can't in good conscience release Claimed.
I don't know if I'll ever be able to come back and pick it up, or if this is truly the end. Only time will tell.
Your love and support in the last five years has meant so very much to me. I cannot express how much every email and comment on social has meant to me, and your love of my words filled me with so much joy.
Hopefully this is not the end, but if it is, I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to have taken this journey with me.
Keep it dark and twisted,
Eva 🖤”
RIP Eva. Sad there’s not any noncon omgeaverse authors out here. U were my only hope left. 🙂↕️💔

Elena Costanzo may be a coveted Omega of refined breeding status to the world, but to her family, she is but a pawn to be used for the benefit of her family's power. No matter how much pain she has to endure privately, her family still provides protection from the outside world. But then her world explodes and everything changes in a blink of an eye. She needs to find a mate for protection, or learn how to survive in a world where Alphas rules with brutal and deadly force. Unfortunately, the one Alpha who keeps interfering in her life, Leon Marchetti, is the one Alpha she can't afford to trust.
Eva Dresden has created another captivating dark Omegaverse universe filled with mystery and intrigue. The chemistry between Elena and Leon is HOT despite both of their mutual dislike of one another. The Alpha and Omega dynamic pull between them is just too much to resist. And that cliffhanger! I have so many questions I need answers too! I can't wait to see what's in store for us in the next book! Really good start to the Claimed and Conquered series.

Review of advance copy received from Author
I have read every series this author has ever written and I always walk way oh so very satisfied and this book was no different.
I love her writing style as well in how she always portrays the alpha/omega connection in such a raw and soul connecting way.
In closing, Leon and Elena’s characters build their relationship and chemistry as the story unfolds and then boom💥! Let’s just say, Alphas rule.
This book ends in a cliffhanger and I can’t wait for Leon to go full out Alpha in the next book.
I have received this as an ARC and this is my honest review.

Eva Dresden has done it again. I’m happy for her. Unfortunately the story wasn’t as compelling as some of her previous books. There are some gruesome situations but there is hardly any emotion. Like the bodyguard who is dismissed after 4 years, no pining and no regrets. He is one of the only ones who is friendly and very close to the main character Elena and she doesn’t seem to give anything about him. 2,5 stars.
