When alpha wolf shifters Nathan and Kato discover a wounded omega on their territory, they expect a problem they can solve, not one that could destroy them.
The omega Casper refuses to talk about his past, but he’s even more determined not to endanger the two alphas who saved him. As days pass and bonds deepen, though, the secrets between them become harder to keep.
And then Cas is thrown into a powerful, unnatural heat, driving every unmated alpha in the pack into rut, including Nathan and Kato. The instinct to claim him is overwhelming, but the danger is worse: if they breed him, he’ll die.
With instincts spiraling out of control and a threat lurking at the periphery, can the trio survive the call of a mate bond and save themselves—and the pack—from certain destruction?
Oh, okay 🥺 Thank you, an amazing duo of Risa and Marra - I have so many thoughts and emotions and feelings about this one 💞 I don’t read much OV but it seems like I have a soft spot for it after all. Because all the chemistry during those heats and ruts, with all the desperation, passion, scents, marks, mewls, neediness, it’s scorching hot as it is. Add in two alphas and an omega - it’s blazing, like totally another level 🥵
I'm so glad I went in knowing almost nothing, because "surprised" doesn't even begin to cover it. I genuinely couldn't predict where it was going. My heart broke so many times for so many characters 💔 And after 85% I couldn’t even sit straight, muttering nonono and trying to breathe normally.
First things first, this story is complex, with layered worldbuilding, and I'm usually not someone who reads for it, but here it genuinely mattered, and it was done incredibly well. A lot of side characters that make you either really care about them or hate them beyond words. The whole setting works perfectly honestly.
But the most important are of course the MCs 💗 As I’ve said - I genuinely wondered what’s going to happen and HOW. All three of them are so vibrant, so distinct and different, but Cas - omigod Cas!! is so precious, heartbreaking and sweet baby angel with ALL THOSE RIBBONS it was unbearable 💔
“I look at our omega, lying there on the bed. So small, and yet he has the ability to destroy us both. He might have already.”
Kato, chaotic, hilarious, carrying too much guilt 🥺 and Nathan, the big ALPHA teddy bear with an enormous heart 💗
“Oh, you fucked up. Mating me. I’m a fucking disaster.” The corner of his mouth quirks. “And yet I love you anyway.”
I devoured this, I couldn’t stop, it was a chokehold, it was unexpected, I was hot, I was squirming, I cried and looked like a mad person (courtesy of my husband 🫢). So yes, I was properly affected by this story, 5 totally deserved stars, I honestly wouldn't change a thing.
Ah, and I am still not okay after being totally destroyed by the epilogue!!! WHEN IS BOOK 2 COMING OUT 😭
I’d say more 3.5⭐️ but rounded up to 4 since this was my first omegaverse. I did find some of it confusing. I really appreciate the brief guide in the beginning that helped me flesh it out a little bit.
I really did like Kato, Nate, and Cas’ relationship and how they all came together. They make a great throuple (MMM) and you could really sense how much they all loved, adored, and cared for one another.
The ending/epilogue broke my heart. I will definitely read the rest in the series.
*Received an arc in exchange for my honest review.
This book was a wild and hilarious ride and I'd expect nothing less from Risa and Marra.
I am a sucker for poly romances so when I saw this was MMM I immediately signed up for the ARC and I'm so glad I did!
Nathan an outcast Alpha in a small rural pack in Scotland has been put on babysitter duty after the pack leaders American nephew gets sent there to clean up his act. This grumpy x chaotic sunshine duo are out to the test when they find a mysterious injured omega.
The pull they feel to Cas is instantaneous and unstoppable. They are a slave to their base instincts and desires even when the cost could be their lives.
Nathan, Kato, and Cas's dynamic is literal perfection 😩 the hilarious banter, the tension and chemistry, THE SPICE 😮💨🥵.
Kato, Cas & Nate are utter perfection together 😭 I loved how they each brought something to the table and complimented eachother in such a way that they fit perfectly together like missing puzzle pieces 🥺
Nate is the grumpy, headstrong one with his own hang ups but he would put his neck on the line for the ones he loves 🥺 Cas at one point said he was like ice and Kato was like fire and I think that’s a perfect way to describe them as it felt like Nate was a closed book until Kato got close enough to thaw him out!
I absolutely adored Kato and I will protect that wolf with my whole soul! 🥺 He was so precious and had soooo much love to give 😭 he did have some demons weighing him down but watching him try better himself was so heartwarming and Jesus Christ he was so funny 🤣 I laughed out loud so many times at his chapters, they were brilliant!!
And lastly the cute little white wolf Cas, his story broke my heart and all I wanted was to wrap him up in his pink blanket (maybe some boxers 👀) and stroke his hair. He was just so precious and I adored him 🥺
Overall this book had HOT HOT HOT spice, found family, acceptance and a whole lot of love 🫶🏼
If you don’t know me, I’m a huge fan of omegaverse books. When I saw that Marra and Rosa were coming out with one, I had to snag this one, especially when it is a MMM. Yes please. This is my first time reading by either author and I’m hooked. Also, these two collaborating together was absolutely perfect.
First off, that epilogue has me so interested in this series because my heart.
Cas, Nathan and Kato were absolutely perfect. I just knew these three were going to be a fun time from the moment the two alphas rescue Cas.
The more we learn about Cas, I just knew his story was going to hurt. What Bash did to him was insane. Cas is an interesting omega that made me want to hold him for everything he went through.
Bash is definitely crazy and he shows his true colors. He definitely got what he deserved for hurting Cas.1
The moment Kato shows up at the cabin. Gosh, that whole scene broke my heart so much. I loved what followed after because if you know what happened, you would probably act the same way. I immediately knew he was going to be my favorite when he punched certain betas when they made those comments about Cas and his duties of being an omega.
If you like omegaverse, shifters, MMM when they’re all together, all the feels and drama, this book is definitely for you. I cannot wait for the next book on this series because I’m so invested in these characters and I only want more.
I received a copy of this book and this is my honest review.
{Ravage} ARC review by Jessie melka __________•__________
The book that I’m reviewing is non other than Ravage by Marra moore and Risa cruise I don’t know about you but it’s on my top 5 most anticipated releases this year and I’m honoured that I get to review it and share it with you all. Let’s just dig into what the book is about!!!
Ravage an MMM shifter romance book centred around the three Mc’s, Cas, kato and Nathan. Nathan and kato both alpha OutKasts find a wounded omega (Casper) on the border of the parklands Both of them feel a strange attachment to this Omega neither of him wants to let him go so when they bring him to the strict outfit of the pack who is suspicious from the moment he sees the omega they offered to take him in Nathan who is already babysitting Kato who is sent from his family‘s packed to get himself together after a tough period. And kato who feels like he screws everything up that his life has been ruined by the fortune of the past neither of them can let go of the omega neither of them want to but when he wakes up things starts happening that none of them could have expected
Ravage by Marra moore and Risa cruise is an MMM shifter romance With lots of unexpected twist and turns and in the prologue our first introduction is Casper running, from what. You will have to find out for yourself but what I wanted to say from this is that right from the prologue the book just sucks you in all this tension that the prologue will really drive you tge drive to want to dive head first into the book, each chapter gets you more and more excited for what’s coming next
All these boys has had a life of misfortune they’ve all been told that they are wrong for being who they are some try to change some strive to obtain that little thread still inside of them hoping that one day everything will be alright and my heart really goes out to them. They’ve been through so much and together they just make the perfect imperfection perfection.
Cas my sweet angel baby cakes I love his spirit kind open armed and loving even through everything he has been through. He’s such a lovable person.
Kato I cannot express how much I love his character. He gives us very much sad boy aesthetic, but he’s hilarious and he deserves the world. And with these two, I hope he gets it.
Nathan the strong and feel is on the outside the soft teddy bear on the inside being shown by his family for his desires but honestly, who could blame him ;)
This was a lovely story and quite frankly extremely sexy too though there was moments where I really feared what was going to happen despite everything they made it and I’m happy for them
I must not remember to say I don’t think I really have any criticism because it is book one and I’m excited to see what will happen next. There are so many things left unsaid and I can’t wait to hear them The book was beautifully written so there is no complaints there. It’s also my first book I’ve ever read from Marra and I’m really excited to dive into their work some more. Risa i’ve been reading for awhile and I always loved their work so of course I had to read this one too.
I read this book a 4.3 out of 5 stars and I would love to recommend this to someone who is looking for a polyamorous story with shifters and forbidden relationships and of course love lots and lots of love This book really helped me by the horns and I couldn’t stop reading it from the moment. It hit my email inbox right until the end I couldn’t put it down. But remember to always form your own opinion and not just listen to mine until next time my loves….
I was so intrigued by Cas in this. Kato and Nathan are great of course and I love how they came together but Cas was the draw for me. He was so sweet and soft. Finding out his story broke my heart. He deserved the joy he found with Nathan and Kato. Declan is awful and I would like to see him dethroned. This had so many side characters I adored. Like Adrian and Niall. I loved them so much. There was part of this book that absolutely gutted me and I hope book 2 is the happiness I need for this. Ultimately I really loved the dynamic and the pack Nathan ended up with.
I was blessed to receive an ARC of this wonderful book. Release date is: 7/30/2026
Oh gosh, this book was incredible! I'm a sucker for Omegaverse and I'm even more of a sucker when it has a great plot, some drama, sweet romance, lovable characters that you want to hug and some seriously mouth watering spice and Ravage was all of that and so much more. I had no doubt I was going to absolutely, not only devour but love everything about this book but it blew my expectations out of the water. I'm already ready for what's next and I literally just finished this book about 2 hours ago.
Ravage was just incredible. It was fast-paced to the point where I never got bored and I was just excited to figure out what was going to happen next but it also slowed down when it needed to and the tender moments were extremely tender and they were important to this story. I love any poly relationship when it's done correctly and I feel like I get the chance to know every single character and I got the chance to know their relationships separately and together and that was all done very well. I felt like every single character was important. I felt like they all truly care about each other deeply. They all were just so fucking sweet and perfect for eachother, I was swooning A LOT!
The plot of this book was honestly so fun it had moments that were definitely sad but the outcome was worth any of the sad. But more than that it was just a fun plot, some of the things that happened had me giggling and gasping some had me crying and saying "no fucking way" was just an extremely well-rounded plot, And then you add in the world building and the beautiful scenery where this book takes place and I was addicted.
While I know it's not really fair because this book is just getting ready to come out but I am already ready for what's next like so, so ready. I want more of this world and I want more of a couple characters from this one! I just want more. Ravage was everything I love about OV and I am so very grateful to have the opportunity to read it and I'm so very ready for what comes next. 🩷

Quotes: -"Both of them crashed into my life and I've been helpless to resist them, no matter how hard I've tried" -"So you've got one of us who knows everything, and one of us who knows nothing. Between us, we have it covered" -"Self-preservation may not be his strong suit, but I wouldn't have him any other way" -"He's impulsive and defiant and too fucking headstrong for his own good, but he's mine" -"It's you two. I'll always be home whenever I'm with you" -"He was the best part of me, always"
This book was so good from beginning to end and will have you feeling all the emotions. I adore all three of the MCs and how imperfectly perfect they are. Each one of them was put through the ringer and fought so hard for their HEA. I admire Nathan's control and his protectiveness of those closest to him. Kato is the sweet problem child that just wants affection and who would do anything for his mates. Cas has suffered greatly but doesn't let that stop him from frighting for true happiness and a bright future. They fit so perfectly together even though their edges may be jagged. I highly recommend giving this book a read if you love omegaverse books with angst, an accidental mating, a healthy dose of trauma (for you as well, not just the characters), morally grey actions and three hurt men fighting against the odds to be together.
P.S. Marra if you read this, I am still a little mad at what you and Risa did. Please don't crush my soul in book two (but I'll probably forgive you if you do).
Ravage is a MMM shifter romance about three shifter wolves, who all have a secret.
Kato is an Alpha sent from Seattle to Scotland to live in the McLeod pack which is run by his Uncle Declan.
Nate is an outcast Alpha who lives in the McLeod pack. He is assigned as Kato’s babysitter to make sure Kato doesn’t cause any trouble. The two don’t really see eye to eye with each other.
Cas is an Omega who is found unconscious on the McLeod territory who obviously running away from something (what you’ll have to read the book).
When both Nate and Kato come across Cas unconscious whilst on a ran, they are both drawn to him. They both feel a pull to make him theirs. Once Cas goes into heat it sends a frenzy within the pack making all unmated Alpha’s going berserk to get to Cas and mate him. The problem though if Cas gets mated he will die. Nate and Kato must not only stop themselves from mating Cas but stop the other Alpha’s too.
I really enjoyed how the dynamics between all three of the main characters worked and how each male was needed within their trio.
Reading all their individual backstories made me so sad for them but also had me hoping they all go their HEA.
Reading the McLeod Pack dynamic’s really had me wishing karma would be served to Declan whilst also hoping Eden finds his HEA.
I can’t wait to read ( hopefully) Adrian’s story in next book.
I liked the explanation at the beginning of the book of how the shifter society works in this book.
Tropes: MMM shifter omegaverse Scottish setting “Good boy” Accidental mating Hurt/comfort Age gap Forbidden relationship Light kink Living aphrodisiac

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
This is one of those books that I gave been very excited to read ever since it was first announced. I love shifters, I also love omegaverse, and I love poly relationships, so when this book promised all three of those components and more? I knew immediately that I had to read it.
So, you're probably wondering if it lived up to the hype I had for it, the answer to that is yes, mostly anyway.
This book is about Cas, Nathan, and Kato, finding themselves in an unpredictable situation dealing with unexpected complications, and surprising feelings.
Firstly, I thought the writing was great, I always enjoy a story more when the world building is strong and detailed, and this one certainly was. Secondly, the characters themselves were great. Each character was so different from the other, each one had their own distinct voice and personality, which I appreciated. These characters are all different from the other, one might even say they have no common ground, but the more you read and the more you learn, you'll discover that things aren't always as they seem.
This story had a lot more angst than what I was expecting, but that's a good thing. I liked how these characters had a lot to work through and discuss before they were able to get their happily ever after. Their story was truly a hard fought HEA, and that made their ending even sweeter.
I will say that while I'm excited for the next book in this series given who it's about.. I'm also sad about the circumstances that led to his story being next. ((I can't elaborate as I don't want to give away spoilers, but just be prepared for a bit of heartbreak!))
All in all, a good book that was worth the hype it got.
***I received a complimentary ARC and am leaving a voluntary review***
What I liked most about this story were the MCs Nathan, Kato and Cas. Their characters couldn't have been more different and yet a closer look beneath the surface showed a compatibility that shone throughout the entire book and was very enjoyable to read about. Quiet, stoic Nathan finally had something worth losing and was willing to risk it all. This willingness was so touching and I was so happy for his character. Chaotic, bratty, sweet Kato was an endless source of entertainment. His eagerness and openness were so powerful to read about and I really felt for him during the hard times. And Cas. Outwardly easily breakable, scared, hurting. But, oh, that inner strength that burned bright as he gained confidence was inspiring. His traumatic past and the fears he carried with him were such a heavy burden and my heart bled for him.
The three ended up sharing an incredibly special connection and the way they complimented each other was meant to be, and so satisfying especially during the spicy scenes.
One of the antagonists had me feeling like a bull looking a waving red flag. I will not be satisfied until karma has been served and I hope to read about it in one of the next books in this series. If ever there were someone deserving of bad karma, it is this character.
There was also a completely unexpected and crushing emotional bomb that left me reeling. I also can't wait to read about how the fallout is dealt with in a later book in the series.
Overall, despite dealing with a number of dark and heavy topics, there is still so much light, positivity, hope, support and love in this book to balance it out.
When two of my favorite authors announced this collaboration, I knew I would adore it! And I was right.
Whether you’re a long-time omegaverse connoisseur or a newbie, I have no doubt you will love this book.
Both Cruise and Moore did a fantastic job at crafting their perspective characters. I appreciate how all three of them have fully flushed personalities and unique voices, which isn’t always easy for MMM+ romance. There was the perfect amount of world-building where I felt fully immersed in the universe they created.
Another element I appreciated and didn’t expect was the portrayal of mental health struggles and alcoholism. It was written with such care and authenticity, and I found myself tearing up multiple times during vulnerable moments.
This story has it all: mystery, drama, action, love, and of course, some INCREDIBLE spice. I’m already looking forward to diving into the second book!
~ my favorite quotes ~
“Like any panicked animal who’s gnawed their leg free of a trap, there is only one prevailing thought in my mind. Run.”
“And he smells—he smells fucking amazing. Like home. Like a beckoning. Like something warm and inviting, reaching out and wrapping itself around me, begging me to come to him.”
“”That you were like that. With alphas.” I push my nose against his shoulder. “Unless I’m special.” He snorts softly. “You’re special, sure. You’ve got my mark, don’t you?” I do feel pretty fucking special about that.”
“Whoever said that absence makes the heart grow fonder is a cunt, because all I feel is an all-consuming longing and a not-insignificant amount of pain.”
“He sticks his tongue into the side of his cheek. “Fuck you, Nate.” “Love you too, pup.””

I have WAITED for Ravage, between following the authors and seeing every updates, arts, reveals, I can’t explain how excited I was for this book. I already knew I would love it, I don’t know why because I’m not that much into the whole omegaverse thingy. BUT, it was just that good.
Let’s talk a bit (a lot) about the characters & the book and why I loved it. First of all, the art for the cover is MAGICAL, the characters look so good.
Cas, my baby. First chapter and he already had my heart. His pain, what he went through, he is so so strong. I loved how he included himself and became part of this relationship. Which is not easy when you appear in between two men who secretly has feelings for each other. He did so so well, and he helped them so much when he was the one needing it.
Nathan, my man. He really is the alpha he thinks is he. And way more than that, he is the calm, the powerfull peace everyone needed. He brings comfort, to his mates but also to everyone around him. He was such a sweetheart, and the way he cared for Cas and Kato, calming them and caring for them when they needed the most. That man really deserves all the cuddles.
Kato. I refused to have a favorite but HE just decided for me. What he went through as well was terrible, and his toxic habits were so realistic. When he crashed, I felt his pain so deeply, I couldn’t do anything more than thinking he deserves the world. And he has two men to show him he truly deserves love, even after fucking up. He is my favorite mess.
I loved it all, the characters, the story, the plots, all. And I really can’t wait for next book, maybe Adrian ? If it’s him, I WILL cry.

This is my second foray into omegaverse and it was so good! I would honestly expect nothing less from these amazing authors. The omegaverse is a very interesting place and I’m still learning how everything works. While mpreg is possible in this world, it does not occur in this book, however, the concept is a central theme. I am truly fascinated by the alpha, beta, omega hierarchy and all male society. Here the (non-human) men are wolf shifters and generally live in packs, so pack dynamics are also a central theme in the storyline.
I absolutely love our three MCs. They are all so different from each other and bring something entirely unique to the table, but somehow they still manage to complement each other so well. One of my favorite things about this book was watching all three MCs experience an arc of deep personal growth. They each have traumas and conditioning from their past that hold them back from realizing their true potential and their ability to be truly happy. Nathan has to learn to accept himself, Kato needs to process his grief and feelings of low self-worth, and Cas needs to heal from the abuse he suffered. Through the events that take place in the book they are able support and help heal each other from these things. Their connection and fierce protectiveness of each other was beautiful and of course the intimacy was 🫠.
This book is a MMM shifter omegaverse romance set in Scotland. Kato and Nathan, the alpha mmcs, find Cas (omega) wounded near their territory and they feel so protective of him that push their alpha to be able to take care of Cas. Nathan is already babysitting Kato, who was sent to his uncle pack to get clean and heal. The dynamic between the mmcs is so perfect. They really fuond each other when they most needed. Kato my baby is struggling a lot with addictions and self-destructive behaviour. He is so touch starved and with his acting you can tell that he is screaming for connection and to feel loved. Cas is so strong omg, he goes through so much traumatic things and he still is so kind, sassy and open to love. Nathan has been fighting himself for so long and when this two beautiful men cross him he can’t resist anymore. I love so much this characthers and their relationship. They really fight to be together and they complemented each other so perfectly ughhhh. I really appreciate how well balanced the story is with the plot, the conflicts that appear trough the book and the romance. If you want a omegaverse poly romance with plot, cute and funny moments, some angst and also some good spice this book is for you!!!
I am so excited for the next book omg!!!! also I need Eden story !!!!! I need him to be happy pleaseeeeee!!!
I've been watching and waiting for this ribbon wrapped trio and am so excited to have received an ARC copy!
The hype for Ravage did not disappoint. Though Cas is an aphrodisiac and there was an accidental mating, their relationship always felt real and not forced.
Cas was the perfect stepping stone that Nathan needed to reach out to Kato. And once that bridge was crossed all the dancing around each other pretty much stopped, which I appreciate. They all love each other and would defend each other with their lives and nothing comes between that.
The descriptions through scent and longing show how deeply they feel for each other. They aren't just attracted to each other through scent. They create comfort and a home where they can let go without being judged.
There is a good amount of angst, which should not have been a surprise with these authors. The three of them have a few challenges and antagonists to overcome in the present. And each have demons in their past they must challenge.
Kato struggles with alcoholism and I think was a good representation of what a recovery path can look like, though I don't have any experience with it myself to really speak on.
It felt like a well rounded story where I'm not aching for more afterwards. But has a good setup for book 2, which I can already tell is going to hit hard.
When I saw this cover art, I knew I wanted to read this book, and I was lucky enough to get an ARC. As a nonbinary person, I love gender play, and Cas is this wee little shifter that gives off femme/androgynous vibes.
This book is a good contribution to the omegaverse. It does interesting things with gender and sexuality. In this world, there are humans and there are shifters with OV designations. All shifters are male, so it's a world with m-preg in it. What made it fascinating is that it was simultaneously queernormative and yet still tackled homophobia through a/b/o designations. You see it's taboo for alphas to desire or love other alphas; they should be with omegas for babies and thus we have a subtle reinforcement of heterosexism.
But our characters blur these boundaries in really interesting ways. Nathan--our big, burly ginger alpha is a good-hearted alpha and a dom in the bedroom. Cas is this lovely omega and a sweet little subby. Kato is a chaos gremlin and a puppy cat if I ever saw one, wanting all the affection and headbutts. He's an alpha and a bit of a switch/brat. I loved their dynamic as it evolved.
The plot was interesting and full of emotional damage through past and present trauma. It didn't put me in a chokehold but I did really enjoy it, and I think if any of this sounds good, you will too.
Thank you to the authors for kindly sending me an ARC for an honest review.
I need to start this review by saying, I'm not an omegaverse person. I have only read one other omegaverse book. and it was cute, but I'm not sure it was my thing. So, I wasn't expecting to really like Ravage. Well, I was completely blown away. Hooked from page one. Addicted even.
Both Risa Cruise and Marra Moore, are skilled with the pen. It was a rich 3-dimensional story, in a universe that felt real and modern. This is not a fairytale, but a semi dark story of trauma, regret, medical mutilation, self-loathing, addiction and finally redemption.
Cas, the mysterious lost omega with dark secrets. Kato, the wayward alpha sent oversea to get his life together. And Nathan the older alpha put on Kato babysitting duty, while working through his own trauma and hidden desires. All three are on an unstoppable crash course for each other. The desire and lust are palpable; the story is intriguing and unrelenting- the reader must solve the mystery of who or what Cas is. Even the side characters are well developed- Niall, Adrian, Declan and Bash.
The epilogue, even though the story does have an HEA, brought me to my knees. I'm still teary eyed. I would have never imagined a story about shifters would have made me emotional, and that credit goes to the writers, Cruise and Moore. So much so, I might have messaged Cruise, asking about the next novel. I don't know if I'm a fan of the omegaverse as a whole yet. But I am definitely a fan of Cruise and Moores!! If you are unsure of omegaverse books start here, you won't regret it.
I received a copy of this book for for my honest review.
This book has everything I love, Omegaverse MMM (all boyfriends) Forbidden lust/love Shifting/wolves Knotting Scenting Nesting Marking/biting Heats/ruts On page sexy times Hurt/comfort Size difference
I should’ve loved this book, but it was just ok for me. The story and drama felt unique but it felt long and I did skim several times looking for the dialogue to start again.
I was actually kinda bored for a lot of it and kept putting it down, reading something else, then picking it back up.
I DID like the story, and I loved the last 12%. But most of the book the pacing of the story telling was slow for me. The sexy times were long and the inner thoughts rambling at times. I don’t feel like the book needed to be as long as it was.
I do love Nate/Kato/and Cas together as a throuple. Their love came together, for lack of a better descriptor, organically and their pining and yearning for eachother is beautiful. More so with Nate and Kato but Cas is the perfect filling to their alpha sandwich.
I also liked the story resolution. It felt wrapped up nicely and still left me curious for another book.
4.5 ⭐️ 🌶️🌶️1/4 - slightly more than medium spice, multiple explicit scenes with some BDSM, shibari, collaring, DP, and “good boy” 😉 1st person, multi POV
I’ve read quite a bit of omegaverse and I love them very much. I’ve also read shifter romances, but I actually hadn’t read a shifter omegaverse until this point! I know, what am I doing with my life? Anyway, no surprise, but it works for me.
These were fun characters. Kato and Nathan had such a teasing relationship, even when they were still pretending not to like each other. They just needed their third to bring them together. Cas was put through the ringer in ways that really threw me, but when they became mates and the three of them all settled in, they created such a sweet and playful dynamic between the three of them 🥰
Check your TW/CWs because there are some pretty messed up things that went on, but I appreciated their resolution and I’m curious to see if some other characters will get what’s coming to them later in the series 🤞 Speaking of, that epilogue broke my heart, but it was a great set up for the next book! I am ready.
Thanks to the authors for the advance copy 💝 Releases July 30th!
Ravage is a MMM shifter romance 3 souls who have faced pain and heartbreak find each other.
Kato hates the pack he was sent to, he is monitored 24/7 and has no freedom. His parents told him it would be tougher to get in trouble when they sent him to live with his uncle. So he was shipped from his home in Alaska to the northern Scottish coast.The only good thing is the muscle that keep gaurd over him. Darkish auburn hair that falls across his forehead, dominant as heck and absolutely jacked... his name is Nathan.
But things go sideways when they find an injured, naked omega. They just want to help.. but they dont even make it back to the pack when they feel a pull to the man. Where did he come from.. Who hurt him.. all questions they need to figure out while battling attraction and avoiding the attnetion Katos mean archaic uncle.
Spice lvl is about 2.5/5 each person had there story to tell and i thought they came to be a trio expertly. Sometimes the focus os on one pr the other but this way evenly spaced so you could really see they were meant to be a trio.
Omegaverse is one of my favorite genres, and I’ve been looking forward to this one ever since it was first announced. I’m happy to say it did not disappoint!
Ravage is the tale of Cas (an omega on the run), Nathan (a surly alpha who is in reality a perfect teddy bear), and Kato (a lackadaisical, but funny and sweet alpha dealing with grief over the death of his previous omega). Nathan and Kato, already drawn together despite the fact that alpha-alpha pairings are taboo in their insular pack, find Cas injured and on the run, and the rest is history.
The story is complex for an omegaverse, with many twists and secrets revealed. I think it’s best to go in blind. Ravage is sweet and suspenseful, funny and heartfelt, and just overall very well done.
While the main story is satisfyingly completed, many plot points are only just getting set up. Definitely looking forward to more books in the series, and keeping my fingers crossed that the amazing side characters, especially Adrian and Eden, will get their HEAs too.
i fell deeply in love with kato from marketing alone. something about him just called to me and i went into this book already rooting for him. but wow, did risa and marra decide to decimate me with all three characters. we were given three beautifully complex but broken boys, and they all stole my heart in equal measure.
cas is on the run and deeply jaded about the world and who he should trust. nathan is emotionally traumatized and physically wounded just for being his authentic self. and kato is drinking away his demons and inviting in conflict so he doesn’t have to sit alone with his thoughts. but the way they all form a powerful bond and take care of each other is everything.
the world building and background plot for this story was super intriguing and i really loved getting to see this genre play out from these authors’ eyes. i was on the edge of my seat the entire time, and so many tears were shed. i just felt so pulled into this book.
i think the only qualms i have at all would be i simply just wanted more. i loved them so much that the time with them wasn’t enough for me. i do also wish they spent a little bit more time together. i feel like there were a lot of times where they were separated or only two of them were together. i wish maybe this was balanced out with a bit of a longer hea, but i still loved every moment i spent with these guys.
i cannot wait to see what more this series has in store for us!
*i received an advanced copy of this book from the authors, and this is my voluntary and honest review.
Where do I start? Ohhh yeah, wtf!!!! Why ohh why.... this is not about the main characters IN THIS book, but Im also annoyed and sad. My babies N and little bamboo E (I have a soft spot for him). Im really hope he will have most most lovely Alphas/Betas as mates. He definitely deserves it. I have to say it🫣. Anyway.... Who loves a bit of darkness, supernatural, Alphas, omegas/betas, sexual fiesta book for you..🤭😏 I lied, but it is not much of a spice there just a bit. I would give 🌶. So you have 2 different Alphas, both have different life, different experiences, different soros, different preferences.... One is willing to submit just for him, no one else, other is fighting his bond. But guss what? Shit hit the fan when sexy little omega showed in the pic. And then where are 3 of them. 🤭😈 🐺MMM 5/5 ⭐️no question asked 🎀 omega/beta 🐺 Alphas 🌶
Was easy read, can't wait for other books to come🥰
ARC Review (and thank you so much for the ARC!). Words cannot describe how much I enjoyed this omegaverse. And that it’s beginning a series just makes me soooo happy! Kato and Nate are just the best Alphas to Cas. The mystery behind Cas and his affect on the pack is so well done and paced out perfectly, also something I haven’t come across before in an omegaverse before. I really enjoyed how much Nate and Kato dance around each others feelings, but all three have so much damage in some way. Kato is trying to get over the trauma of loss and grief, Nate is trying to work through what others deem abnormal and unnatural and basically left him alone but in a pack, and poor Cas has been physically and mentally hurt before finding his way to them. They all help each other heal and their love story is so beautiful. Especially Nate finally opening up, love seeing a huge Alpha finally have feelings! I cannot wait for the next one, so much left to explore in this world that was begun here.
I LOVED this book so much. I mean, I knew I was gonna love it (hello Risa and Marra together???) but it completely blew my expectations out of the water. I wouldn’t consider this a typical omegaverse story and that’s what made this book so amazing. Cas is such a unique character in terms of standard omegaverse terms, but that is what makes him such an amazing character. His story and everything he went through to get to Nate & Kade is part of why this book works so well!! Speaking of Nate and Kade, I desperately need more of them!!! They’re dynamic was also so unique to this story and then add in Cas and you get something that is so distinctly a Risa and Marra story. They made all three POVs flow seamlessly together in a way that really made the story what it is, one of love and acceptance and finding yourself even in the darkest times.
This read was really enjoyable. I love a good omegaverse, and making it an MMM on top of that, you have me sold. One of the things I love is how all the characters are automatically drawn towards one another from the moment Nate and Kato rescued Cas from bleeding out. And the secret that Cas kept was such a huge part of who he was, so it came as a surprise how easily he felt comfortable to trust them with something that could put them all at risk if it got out. I adore how Nate is a caretaker to both of them and how he finally accepted Kato after holding back for so long, knowing that their current pack has made Kato an outcast. I feel like Cas brought them all together like they were the missing pieces to a puzzle that had been left unfinished. He is the glue that holds them together. Tropes: hurt/comfort, light kink, shifter omegaverse, praise kink, MMM, and Scottish setting
