Elderwood Hollow #1
Omega at Elderwood Academy: A Why Choose Omegaverse Romance
She went into heat. Three alphas answered.
They didn’t claim her. They kneel.
Elowen Rowan didn’t come to Elderwood Academy looking for a pack.
She came carrying her grandmother’s herbs, her quiet strength, and grief she hasn’t finished unpacking.
What the brochure didn’t mention: three omegas died here last year.
The administration called it heat complications. Case closed.
Elowen isn’t convinced.
What it also didn’t mention: them.
Calder — controlled, brooding, hiding a billionaire inheritance and an arranged omega his mother fully intends to install on campus.
Tyler — steady, warm, the one who remembers how she takes her tea.
Julian — precise, observant, quietly devastating. She spills chamomile down his shirt. He buys her another cup.
Juniper — the one-eyed greenhouse cat with impeccable taste in people. She chose them all first.
When Elowen’s first heat arrives, the Greene Pack makes her a promise she didn’t know she needed.
They don’t claim her.
They wait.
They kneel — until she chooses.
But Elderwood isn’t as quiet as it looks.
The deaths weren’t accidents.
Someone wants the past buried.
And Calder’s formidable mother has her own plans for who belongs in her son’s pack.
The closer Elowen gets to the truth, the harder it becomes to stay invisible.
She’s not just asking questions anymore.
She’s already a target.
The Greene Pack know she’s theirs.
Now the only question left is whether Elowen is brave enough to choose them back — before the truth costs her everything.
Omega at Elderwood Academy is a slow-burn, why-choose omegaverse set in a secluded academy town where devotion matters more than dominance.
A restrained first heat that will leave you aching.
A second where she chooses them right back.
A threaded mystery with rising danger — and a mother-in-law who won’t back down.
MFMM • No swords crossed • Guaranteed HEA

April 27, 2026This was an interesting premise, hello good consent and characters choosing each other, however it needed more. The author appears to be new and the writing style I think reflects that. The world, setting, and characters lacked important background details and fleshing out (what on earth was the point of the academy and why would a pack only be two people, just as examples). The tone and pace are slow and easy, but were missing that oomph to drive reader connection imo. I’ve never read a heat in an omegaverse that was so dull. Even the mystery set-up for a handful of omegas dying the school year prior lacked urgency and action.
I dnf’d before much happened and I recommend Elizabeth’s review because she pushed through and had more thoughts.

2.5 stars.
Buddy ready with RL... but I am totally okay if you don't finish this one, RL!
Why did I? Well, apparently, I'm a sucker for a mystery and I wanted to find out who the murderer was. Was I satisfied in the end? No. But, I found out the murderer so 🤷🏻♀️
I LOVED the premise of this book... (omega goes to university where other omegas are being murdered around her... and meets three consent kings who fall in love with her while they work to solve the murder) but the author needs help editing for story (and for content).
Elowen goes to school (college?) one year later than normal as a 19-year old (right off the bat, she's young and do I care?). The school teaches "consent theory", which I loved. I adore consent in romance so I appreciate the author was really trying.
I did not realize that consent could bore me SO MUCH. She meets three alphas who are all about consent and agency and supporting her choices. And the romance is SO BORING.
There's also a mystery. Over the last year, four omegas died right after heat.
This story could have been really fun... but the author didn't know how to write it. The plotting dragged, the worldbuilding didn't make sense, and the romance fell flat.
In the beginning Elowen has an uncomfortable interaction with a mean girl who claims one of her alphas. Next thing we know, this girl is no where to be seen. There's some drama with the same alpha and his family towards the middle of the book... and then it's resolved. It seems like everything was resolved so quickly. Even the murders. We get some suspicion, and Elowen confronts the murderer... and it's resolved immediately.
This is omegaverse... but having a "pack" that's more than one alpha and one omega is "non-traditional". Huh? Why would it be called a "pack" if it's just 2 people?
It's hard for me to write a coherent review because this book meandered so much and was so incredibly boring.
I would NOT recommend it. Maybe this author will mature and write better in the future?

July 27, 2026This made me so tired. The writing felt kind of soulless but wordy.
May 20, 2026
So, I only made it to 80% before I just stopped reading for a while, and now I have just decided to fully stop altogether.
The story had promise. I can see where the authour was going with things, and I like the characters. However, it kinda felt unfinished to me. I felt like there were parts of the story we were missing, some unfinished sentences and plot points. (Although I found it weird that Elowen was referring to her grandmother by her first name.) I can see the potential with this story, and I don't want to discourage anyone from writing.
There was a plot line of the typical mean girl getting jealous and warning Elowen away. But nothing comes of it. The mean girl threatens Elowen once and then is never heard from again. She moved on fairly quickly with how she wanted Calder all to herself in the beginning, and is supposedly dating some other guy on campus, so we never see her again.
And I found it weird that a pack in this world is only two people. Any more than that is seen as weird and not normal. I guess I find it more weird when a pack isn't more than two people.
I didn't make it to the end, mostly because of the story and the lack of urgency for the FMC in finding out who the killer is, knowing she has less than 10 days left before something happens. And yet, we skipped four of those days (timejump) just to meet Calder and his family for an awkward dinner session, and then we met Tyler's family, and now off to meet Julian's. I don't understand how any of this is happening, knowing someone is going around killing Omega's and is going after Elowen next.
Where is the urgency???
All of this could have happened way before or after Elowen's life wasn't in danger, but I guess priorities. When it got to that point, I stopped because I just couldn't justify why any of this was happening as opposed to finding the killer.
And for those claiming AI. I understand AI has used common writing tactics and punctuation, and such. But not everything is AI. It is very prevalent in today's world, and I absolutely hate it. But I don't think AI was used in this book (hopefully). Mostly because of the grammatical and punctuation errors. This book needs to be edited, but it does need work overall.

Feels like AI. Lack of, or poorly expressed, real emotion. Sort of robotic feeling.
May 25, 2026
I wanted to like this more than I actually did. The premise had potential: cozy omegaverse academy, mystery, emotionally intelligent shifters, and a softer why-choose dynamic. Unfortunately, somewhere around 30% I realized I simply didn’t care enough to keep going.
The biggest issue for me was that the story felt more focused on delivering a message than immersing me in the world or characters. Consent and emotional communication are important, and I appreciate stories that handle them thoughtfully, but here it became so constant and repetitive that it started feeling less like natural character interaction and more like a lecture woven into every chapter.
Because of that, the relationships lacked tension and emotional unpredictability. Everyone felt overly self-aware and emotionally optimized to the point that the conflicts lost their bite. Instead of messy, believable people navigating attraction and pack dynamics, the cast often felt like they were speaking in therapeutic talking points.
The mystery also wasn’t compelling enough to keep me invested. By 31%, I realized I wasn’t excited to pick the book back up, and that’s usually my sign to DNF.
That said, I can still see why others might enjoy it. Readers looking for a very soft, cozy, highly communicative omegaverse with low emotional volatility may have a great time with it. Sadly, it just wasn’t for me.

Maybe I missed something but I wasn't quite hundred percent sure what was happening in the begining of the book. It took me a bit to connect the dots to what the plot even was.
The FMC is 18 and at a college for omegas and alphas. The MMC were three separate guys unrelated but not in a relationship themselves. It was all about the FMC. Granted they did have a brotherly bond. There wasn't much group activities. Even then it was more one on one. Not a bad thing just interesting. The spice was meh and there were knots.
This more about the plot and building of the relationship between the 4. I did realize that is what was happening. There often times things weren't defined or explained. Once again not necessarily a bad thing. It definitely made the story more engaging. Just really immerse yourself.
I'll save you the trouble I had and explain. The dynamic is one alpha one omega. That's just how it's done. Well the FMC starts bonding with 3. I know scandalous right... Than you got newly formed bonds and omegas being unalived. Just a lot packed.
I don't recall them ever really saying anything in the beginning to give any indication of relationships and dating. You know feelings and such. This is stuff I figured out along the way because the author sure wasn't spelling it out. Luckily I'm creative and imaginative. I still have some unanswered questions but I have the memory of a gnat. Now that I'm done with the story it's irrelevant. I was able to finish with having questions.

Elowen, Calder, Tyler, & Julian
Elowen wasn't ready, but now she is. After her parents' death and wishes for her- she had to make a decision. After a year... she knew it was time. Time for Elderwood Academy.
Calder, Tyler & Julian are all Alpha's at Elderwood Academy. Julian is a TA to one of the Professors. Calder and Tyler are fellow students.
As if by fate- they are brought together- all because of a greenhouse. Elowen's designation: Omega. She wants to study healing magic and properties- just like her grandmother and great-grandmother and great great grandmother did. She just didn't know, her name was a legacy.
Calder, Tyler and Julian cannot escape the beautiful and enigmatic Elowen- nor do they want to. In fact- they know she's a scent match. But that means that they must share her. Julian- the soft spoken and broody type. Tyler the golden retriever. Calder- the man that's more than his namesake.
I want to be honest and say that I loved this book (hence the 4 starts). But the reason it is 4 stars is because of everything the MMC's do for the FMC. How they speak with her, and how they make sure that all of her needs are met- her choices at the front. But the book itself was written poorly. There were 3 different plots it felt like in this story line and it felt rushed and thrown together. I wanted to know more about the past and how that shaped what occurred in Elowen's story. If we kept to 1 plot line- this would have absolutely been a yes- no questions asked.

I really enjoyed this story but it was definitely missing a little intrigue, and something to help you latch on a little bit more. It has great potential! The romance was VERY sweet which made it just a little boring in my opinion but it didn't make me stop reading it. I had to find out who the murderer was, so I was at least going to do that.
Overall, I thought it was a cozy read and I enjoyed it for what it was.

Are you interested in lists?
Being told what every smell is, in every room and every interaction?
Scenes that contradict each other, or write over one another, just pages apart?
Being a bit confused on who is in what room, how they got there, and when?
What about friendships that are never introduced, but are deeply close to the FMC out of nowhere?
Well. Do I have the book for you!
It was a cute and manageable book, a light read, but truthfully I almost DNFd because the author couldn't find the plot. It's 20 pages of romance, then 10 pages of detective work, and back and forth until the HEA.
The characters were the hardest part, so many side characters and none were really fleshed out, they just...appeared? Appeared, and had history with the MCs, which was never explained or introduced.
The timeline was also so weird. I'm pretty sure the entire book takes place over 3 months, but some of it felt like time jumps until you realized you were only a day or two later in their world.
The MMCs were not much of people outside of their stereotypes, and where some scenes dragged on forever, others felt rushed.
I guess my overall reaction is that there was inconsistent pacing. Also you can't have an off the shoulder cowlneck cashmere dress, that's not really how cashmere works.

Ok, I had to sleep before I wrote this. I hate anything that isn't a glowing review. The book had so much potential. The storyline COULD have been great. Instead it read like a tepid glass of water trying waaaaay too hard to push an agenda. I mean we really glazed right over being a badass green witch, but I digress.
My first, and really my biggest, complaint: if I grab a werewolf book, there NEEDS to be some doggone wolves in it. We didn't shift a single damn time. We didn't howl. We didn't run. We didn't accept or issue any challenges.
My second complaint: don't fry me for this. Consent is good. Consent is great. I was pleased with the first mention of Consent focused learning. You beat a dead horse on this one, My sister in Christ. When I pick up a SHIFTER book of any kind, I expect varying degrees of growling alpha-hole activity. Three alphas and not a single alpha-hole.
Ok speaking of holes. My final complaint is similar to the one I had for the 50 shades books. I feel like minimal effort happened for the writing of the actual meat of the books, then boom! A literary genius showed up for the sex scenes.
I say alllll of that to say... i finished it. I didn't DNF. so almost 2 stars.

Ok book, could be better
This was an OK book with a decent plot and the writing was solid as well. But it was all a little I don’t know what the word was emotional obsessively about consent, blah blah blah. The dialogue wasn’t normal. It was that almost AI hinting you know where instead of just saying the sky is blue it says the sky is not just blue. It’s dark like the storm in your head or something just a little absurd that you don’t need. And when it happens every time someone has dialogue it’s exhausting to read. This author needs a lot of work on the dialogue. It doesn’t flow like a normal conversation. It’s like she needs every sentence that involves dialogue to be so over the top insightful that it doesn’t even seem like real people talking. I don’t know. It just wasn’t realistic in anyway, and the fact that these are college age kids and they’ve “”been a pack and all they’ve done is some like kissing is the most insane thing I’ve ever read. I don’t know if she’s new into omega versus but since in heat and all of that stuff, you don’t do this weird middle school dating thing. I don’t know it needs a lot of work before it’ll be great.

Review of advance copy
Omega at Elderwood Academy: ARC Review
This book has everything; the bubbly supportive bff, the sunshine alpha, the quiet thoughtful alpha, the fiercely protective alpha who has added depth, wealthy parents pushing an arranged mating, lovable younger sisters, ⭐️TRAUMA⭐️, mysterious omega deaths, sleuthing, a knowing loving grandmother, heats, knotting, biting/marking, and a fiercely independent and unapologetic fmc omega.
10/10 would recommend! There is spice in this book but it’s really connection focused and less descriptive like it would be in a more smut-focused book. It really showed how the relationships the omega formed with each mmc differed and grew. So if you’re looking for explicit spicy scenes, this is not for you. If you’re looking for plot, solid character development, and a mystery that keeps you guessing, this is for you.

Review of advance copy
A very sweet and engaging story with a subtle touch of erotica that I read in one sitting. The book focuses mainly on relationships and the delicate setting of boundaries, which adds depth and authenticity. Don’t expect any major dramatic twists—on the contrary, it’s a calm and comforting read, perfect for a quiet evening. It’s also the kind of book you’ll enjoy returning to after some time. I’m already looking forward to the next installments, which are expected to explore the side characters in more detail.

This is a great book for those who enjoy Omegaverse RH romances. Elowen meets Calder, Tyler and Julian who become her pack. There is perfect chemistry between them. While they are navigating the pack lifestyle there is someone killing off omegas on the campus and one other sister university. Elowen and her pack figure out who is the killer and they catch them. There are other obstacles they must get around to create the perfect pack for them. I highly recommend this book to all paranormal romance readers.

Elderwood Academy

I enjoyed this book and it was an easy read. The author has a way of writing that is more concise or maybe flows like dialogue in a script with shorter sentences and chapters. I loved the FMC and what she stood for. The guys were easily falling in with her and there was little conflict between them (Calder and his family stuff aside). I enjoyed how cozy they seemed though age wise was unsure. 2/5 for spice with number of scenes fast paced, dirty talk, and some kink involving multiple partners. No swords crossing and they all only have eyes for her, though like each other in a bromance way.

A very sweet and engaging story with a subtle touch of erotica that I read in one sitting. The book focuses mainly on relationships and the delicate setting of boundaries, which adds depth and authenticity. I’m already looking forward to the next installments, which are expected to explore the side characters in more detail.

Worth Reading.
Its difficult to describe this book. It's a great love story with interesting characters. A female lead and three male suiters who form a bonded pack against the odds ,intertwined with a murder mystery. The story line draws the reader in and i found it hard to put down. The conclusion was very satisfactory and leads on to a following story which I look forward to reading. I enjoyed this book. Rated it excellent. It's different but gives quiet satisfaction.

awwwwww 🥰
This was genuinely a cozy book a nice slow burn and usually i lose interest in these kinds of books but the characters were unique so it kept me interested and as everyone’s stories unfolded it added to the interested and the drama wasn’t overly dramatic but still good. Definitely a cute cozy read and not a lot of spice but it was spicy when it needed to be

DNF around 10%
The author has a toxic love affair with em dashes, ellipses and fragmented sentences. Author also attempts to make her own grammar structure, i.e., a whole lot of punctuation went wrong in this book.
Wasn't vibing with the writing style, so I DNF'd.

DNF @ 68% - that feel when “all characters make the right choices based on morality and grown adult brains” and it’s so boring and dry that you give up on it. Not even the sex scenes made it better! Solid love for the omegaverse academy having consent classes.

Cozy, sweet, lovely
I really liked the story and the characters here. I'm anxious to see what happens for the best friend. The way the families became the best versions of themselves was heart warming.

such a cute, heartwarming story!
I couldn’t put this book down. The slow burn, the very different personalities and how they blend perfectly together. The way they love her, protect her-even from afar, give her choice, cherish her. I love the story, the small town vibe and the coziness that she created. 10/10!

If you played a drinking game and you took a shot every time the word “consent” was mentioned in this book, you would be dead. Dead. Dead.

Fun
Nice read! A little too much story between the mystery. I enjoyed it a great deal. Fun characters you just want to snuggle.
