I live in a cave. My best friend is a stick. And I just got kidnapped by four alphas.
I've been completely alone for three years with no human contact. I live in a cave and hunt my own food. My best friend is a stick named Charly, and honestly? He's better company than most people.
That's until four knot-for-brains alphas chase me through the woods and drag me back home with them.
Now I'm trapped in their compound with stupid hot showers, a ridiculously comfortable bed, and four oversized knot-heads who think I'm theirs.
I'm not theirs. I don’t belong to anyone.
I am not falling for the silent giant who carries my rocks in his pockets. I'm not secretly crushing on the one who calls me Blueberry and thinks he's Prince Charming. I'm not gaining respect for the one who teaches me how to fight and defend myself. And I am definitely not falling for the one who chained me to a goddamn wall.
I'm going to eat their food, use their soap, and get the hell out.
The omega in me has other plans.
Feral Omega is a slow-burning, why-choose shifter omegaverse romance with a snarky, foul-mouthed heroine, four possessive alphas, and enough bite to leave a mark. If you love morally grey heroes, forced proximity, and a she-wolf who bows to no one, then this book is for you.
J. Ever writes paranormal stories with big hearts, big laughs, and even bigger... well, you know ;-)
She's been writing for years but never had the courage to publish, and she's truly grateful to everyone who takes a chance on one of her books.
When she's not creating stories, she's reading (obvs), drooling over book boyfriends, laughing at her own jokes (which happens a little too frequently), and very often (especially since this book was published), doing uncoordinated dance moves while cradling her fluffy cat because she's so happy to be writing full-time.
Thank you for being here, taking a chance, and helping her dream of being an author come true.
I feel very conflicted about this story. To start, the content warning is not sufficient for a flashback scene that was completely unnecessary. It was already made clear what trauma the h had experienced, except for one piece of it that the h could have reflected on without taking us completely back into the moment. That scene derailed my reading experience so that even as the h was healing and building connection with the guys, I kept feeling sick over that chapter.
Aside from the h’s trauma and that flashback, this is a story of healing. The h has been living in the woods alone for three years when she runs across a group of alphas, who pursue her. They eventually catch her and force her back to their pack. One of them makes the choice to chain her to a wall and refuse to allow her to shift. I know, it’s awful, I was giving the guys space to recover from their idiocy in how they approached the start of their interactions with the h and they do redeem themselves, even the one who chains her to the wall. The h slowly heals and finds safety with this new pack. She builds comfort and trust with the guys on her pace and in her time. The past does make a reappearance though.
Written in first person, multi-POV of the main characters. Some ow drama from a woman that one of the Hs had a fling with before the h arrived. No om drama. Other than the one H having had this fling, no other mention of the guys’ experience and the h had limited experience with the person who betrayed her.
Some tropes/themes: ☆ Omegaverse why choose ☆ Omega x 4 Alphas ☆ Loads of trauma for all the characters ☆ Hurt/comfort and healing ☆ Budding female friendship ☆ Inanimate objects as friends ☆ Omegaverse elements - instincts, knots, heat, marking/claiming ☆ Violence ☆ Slow burn ☆ Vengeance
The h is considered feral, she is emotionally overwhelmed by basic comforts like a hot shower and plentiful food at first. Since she was alone for so long, scraping by, there’s a long adjustment period. One of her comforts is collecting rocks, which she names and talks to. I actually liked that she talked to inanimate objects. It underlined how detrimental to her mental health it was to be alone in the woods for that length of time. I personally think that she should have gotten therapy sessions with the pack healer, it would have elevated the mental health aspect. The healer does have some good conversations with the h, including about the h’s upcoming heat and regarding her potential reaction based on her trauma.
I did not feel like the relationship development was even here. One of the alphas is clearly better than the others and the h even tells him at one point that he’s her favorite. It’s early on, but even later moments feel like they lean more towards this guy. Rightfully so honestly, he is the best of them. Though the worst H at the start puts in enough work to apologize and to support the h that he’s the most well understood of the Hs by the end imo. The other two Hs had their own moments of stupidity and bonding, but didn’t stand out the way these two on opposite ends of the spectrum did. Also, I have no idea what this pack does to make money to live. I don’t know if I missed it or what, but they can go shopping in town for supplies, but what do they do?
The guys were also traumatized at a young age. This is focused on more for three of them, with one of them taking charge of everything and another not talking since the events. It was interesting that it’s repeated over and over that the main alpha, the H that’s esp an idiot at the start, had too much pressure placed on him because of what happened to them at a young age. It’s used to explain some of his initial actions and reactions and the other guys worry over how he reacts to the guilt of what he did to the h at the start, but there are limited attempts by the others to nudge him to change how he’s handling that guilt. I think it's done by the author to really drive home his penitence, it just felt odd that these alphas were so close and leading this pack together, yet they don't offer their fellow alpha as much support while he's struggling.
For the steaminess, consent is good and there are detailed spicy scenes. It read unrealistically to me however. There is a theme of the h reclaiming herself that I liked, but the h just dives into all the sex during her heat in a way that made me feel like the lead-up was more checking boxes that the author had thought about how trauma could affect her and oh look, she’s great with the sex now. That balance must be tough to write, it just didn't feel right to me as I was reading. As a plus though, the H that has to put in more work does not participate in this first heat, even though he’s invited.
The climax of the book brings the past to their front door and means that the h has to face her abusers. There are a couple of reveals, one of which I guessed early on, and another that did surprise me. Of course the good guys are victorious against the bad ones and more healing happens. The epilogue is several weeks later. They’re all a solid unit and working on their HEA. The author left potential for a side character to have their own story if readers want it.
I think this is the author’s first darker book, I’ve read two others of hers and they were light contemporary omegaverse. I do think she needs more nuance and detail in developing the non-dark parts of a dark story and balancing the mental health side of trauma. The story could have benefited from so additional light editing at the time I read it. The writing is repetitive in places, which did bother me when I was already taken out of the flow of the story by that flashback. I’m curious to see if other readers who handle darker scenes like that better find this a better overall read than I did.
This was a fun buddy read with Snow and RL... and I'm glad I have them to talk to about this because this book was NOT it.
This book is very quotable and there are a lot of cute parts; however, there are also a bunch of things that make it questionable.
I adored Mo, the heroine. She's strong and determined, resourceful and caring. She is able to take care of herself and fight for those she loves.
My favorite convo
“I wasn’t always alone. I had a pet squirrel named Pip. He kept me company for a while.”
“Oh my god, that’s adorable! A pet squirrel?”
“Yeah. Until my wolf ate him.” Her eyes widen. She opens her mouth, closes it, opens it again. “That’s… tragic?”
“I cried for a week. Mostly because he was delicious.”
---------------
But... her "heroes"? I wasn't a big fan of the pack that kidnaps her and becomes the love interests.
In the beginning of the book, Mo is living on her own because she escaped some VERY bad stuff and doesn't trust anyone. The "heroes" find her in the woods and eventually capture her (after she escapes from them in the most satisfying way the first time). There are some funny bits that made me enjoy the heroes as adorable idiots... until they lock her up and don't listen to her.
This is a woman who has been seriously traumatized and physically/emotionally abused and her "rescuers" decide to chain her. For whatever reason, Darius gets all the blame in this and I appreciate his journey. But, there were three other men who could have protected her from being chained up. And they really get off scott-free and never held responsible for her being trapped.
I was really surprised that no one in the pack even really tried to make sure she was free. I was APALLED when the healer even lets one of the men stay while she treats the heroine after a severe medical emergency... to the extent that she strips her to find the issue and they both see damage to her pubic area. It felt SO INAPPROPRIATE for the alpha to see her naked. And for the woman healer to not only allow it, but ask that the alpha stay.
Mo protected herself and pushed for a more equal relationship... but I was not impressed by the author's protection of her. She wrote a world where agency isn't respected and consent is kinda there but really no one cares as long as the alphas get their way. And that was super disappointing.
We get four alphas; Darius, Archer, Silas, and Elias. My favorite was Silas. He was the most caring and respectful all the way through. Archer was next... he KNEW things were wrong. But sadly, he didn't fight to correct the wrong. I hated that he could see that locking her up was not the right way to go, but he didn't even try to fight Darius. I do appreciate that he understands sign language because Silas doesn't speak anymore. Darius had good growth. While he did the most egregious (and obvious damage), he also did the most to change and make up for his crappiness.
Elias, though? He's my least favorite and really could be shoved out of the pack and I would feel much better. In the beginning, he's sleeping with another woman but decides that Blue's (Mo's) mouth looks more welcoming to his 🍆, so he was going to drop his hookup. I couldn't even. Not only was he disrespectful to Mo by sexualizing her when she is afraid, he was an AWFUL human being to Pam, his hookup. He doesn't approach his hookup privately and kindly. He humiliates her by saying in public that they are over because he's with a new woman.
Now Pam... I won't say all I think because spoilers... but I both feel for her and don't believe any woman could be that terrible to another woman. Why we gotta have a woman-on-woman hate fest? Elias is the real villain here... don't hate on Mo!
RL pointed out that the sex scenes were completely wrong... and I totally agree. I had to skip over them because there was no way I was ready... even if Mo strangely had no issues. She has a deep discussion with the guys about her trauma and the need to listen to her... before her heat. But, as soon as the sexy times start, she's all in and her body doesn't remember her trauma in the slightest. It didn't feel real or right.
Safety deets - consent is questionable. It's a real discussion item, but Mo's agency over her body, her permission for others to see her vulnerable, her being able to make choices was not respected for the most part. There is an AMAZING scene where Darius builds her a place to live separate from the rest of them so she can make a choice, but this is long after she has been forced to live with 4 men who tell her she belongs to them. So... I call this consent adjacent rather than full consent positive. It kinda acknowledges the issue... but the author didn't do enough. - There is some body betrayal in this. It's kinda cute body betrayal cause Mo's wolf absolutely LOVES the guys' wolves and she romps all over the place... but it's still disappointing that Mo doesn't get a say in who she can be around or fall in love with because her body decides for her. - There are descriptive and graphic scenes of physical violence against Mo (in memories) and it's bad. - The humor is hilarious and took what could be a really dark book and made it funny. - Mo rescues herself and makes her own choices... I just wasn't a big fan of her new relationship. - They are all happy at the end... even if I wouldn't have chosen that for her. - Obviously, there was other woman drama.... and I HATED Elias' cavalier treatment of Pam. And it's never really addressed. HE should have some comeuppance for what happened, but nope. The author didn't even address it.
I honestly don't understand why they kidnap her instead of going on the charm offensive and slowly gaining her trust. Then to say repugnant things about her, her body, her mouth, owning her, etc., to suddenly switch to these really sweet, traumatized men - like, what?
Add in the FMC tells them she might have an issue with intimacy because of her past trauma, and then has group sex as their first sexual encounter, like it's no biggie.
The sister is nearly catatonic from abuse and trauma that lasts over 3 years, and within a week, she is mostly fine?
This could've been an amazing journey of healing and discovery for them all. It wasn't.
it was an okay read, but i wasn't blown away by it. it had hurt/comfort, a traumatized heroine, and heroes who work to gain her trust. i loved the hero Silas, such a gentle giant.
i just wish all the characters' interactions had been more nuanced and detailed. just deeper, in general. there were a lot of instances of short exchanges of dialogue followed by a description of the rest of their exchange, cutting the interaction short too soon. "we played cards and laughed together the rest of the evening" (paraphrased). that kind of thing. i wanted more from their interactions.
i also feel like the story leaned too dark at times. we knew approximately what had happened to the heroine, we didn't really need an incredibly dark and violent flashback in the middle of this romantic story about finding love while healing from past trauma.
but overall, it was an okay read. i liked how patient the heroes were. they worked to gain the heroine's trust, and they gave her the time and space to work through her own stuff.

Plot: 4/5 • Spice: 3/5 ➡️➡️➡️ I’m not sure why the reviews for this one are so low. It wasn’t a masterpiece, but I found this omegaverse enjoyable.
After being sold Mo escapes and lives in the god damn forest for THREE YEARS. Four alphas pick up her scent and hunt her down. Could they have approached a feral omega more smoothly? Yes. Hence why Mo fights tooth and nail when she’s found.
Mo had something traumatic happen to her at 16 years old and has been living with it every day since. It requires her to shift into her wolf form to heal every day. When the head alpha darrius refuses to let her shift she succumbs to her trauma. They didn’t realize the severity of the situation.
Everyone in this pack has trauma. Lots of it. baggage for days. It takes some effort on everyone’s part to become pack. Lots of hesitation on Mo’s part. Can’t blame a girl for being scared.
When her past comes back to haunt her the guys come to her rescue. Even managing to bring one more familiar face back to pack with them.
The FMC escaped her old misogynistic pack that mutilated her genitals to live alone in the woods where she was found after 5 years by the four MMCs. They hunt her, she is too quick for them and escapes. For their next try they decide to wear masks including a clown mask (whyyyy?!?) and successfully kidnap her. The leader tells her that she belongs to them aka they will have sex with her and keep her at their place. They chain her to a bed.... Tf. It then comes out that the four MMCs are good men and her scent match... Why the hell would truly good men that believe in an omega's autonomy kidnap a random omega and immediately tell her that they will have sex with her?
“I’m not the monster you think I am,” he mutters. “No?” I stand and close the distance between us. He’s so much bigger than me that I have to crane my neck uncomfortably far just to look him in the eye. “You want to know what I remember, Darius? I remember you standing over me, telling me I belonged to you. I remember you saying you couldn’t wait to fill my mouth. I remember being chained to a wall in a room I couldn’t leave, listening to you decide what I could and couldn’t do with my own body.” He goes completely still. “You want forgiveness? Earn it.”
Bro. How can this possibly be forgiven and forgotten? This behavior doesn't match a good person at all. If there even was a content warning I didn't see the one for the genital mutilation that was not only told but also got an unnecessary flash back scene of the mutilation itself.
Also this is a why choose with one of the men being the favorite and one being the least liked. Not my cup of tea.

I loved this book. She wasn’t afraid to fight and she knew that running was weak sometimes it’s the best thing. The guys were all instantly obsessed and the more they learned the more they loved her. Darius had a rocky start because he chained her to the wall and wouldn’t let her shift and she almost died, but that led to her being healed. Silas was her favorite from the beginning, he was so sweet. Elias had to be open and real and they connected. Archer was always watching and learning, he was so sweet with her. I was honestly shocked her sister was alive, but it was a great ending with them rebuilding their home and then Mo going to her new home with her alphas.

Easy one night read. Straight forward, low angst, not darkly dark (except for that one thing, yikes). Some continuity issues. How did she get dressed and undressed while chained at the wrist? Some spelling errors and missing words that made for confusing smexy times. I liked the simplicity of the story. I’d read Sophie’s story.

I absolutely loved this book! It got me in my feels and I couldn't put it down! Each character broken in their own way and then learning how to give themselves grace. It's on my will read again list when I hope Sophia's book comes out!
Wow, I loved this book. The characters were very interesting and full of depth and detail. I really enjoyed the story line and hope to see more of them.
Thoroughly enjoyed this. It was sad, happy, hilarious. Mo is so strong but really soft and funny. I just wish it had ended with her being pregnant. What fun
meh. i liked this book starting from the halfway point, but the beginning is rough. and it's not just about the guys. before we even get to the kidnapping, we have mo and the guys all talking and acting like they're 10 years old and just learned how to say swear words. it's extremely juvenile and a really weird way to set the tone for what's supposed to be a romance somewhere along the line. also this book uses the word "turd" more times than i think i've ever heard it in my life. it's just really offputting in the beginning.
eventually, i did start to like the recovery narrative, but that was all tempered by my distaste for the guys in the first place. they never really discuss the fact that they all felt entitled to own her. darius is the only one that's forced to atone for it, but the other guys are just as delighted in the beginning to capture a woman they found in the woods and hold her hostage. and they're never forced to acknowledge that. we even get some of their internal monologues as they're chasing her, about how they can't wait to bring her home and how she'll never get away from them, and it just feels off. and i understand that this book is meant to be dark, it's meant to involve problematic and troubling behaviors from the beginning, i understand that. but it just feels like a lot of them get brushed past instead of actually addressed within the context of the book.
they should have had some sort of realization that whether or not mo had been abused and assaulted before this, they still wouldn't have had the right to chase her down, abduct her, chain her to the wall and forbid her from leaving. i guess i just expected a lot more in terms of remorse from the whole pack, because the whole pack was involved in her abduction.
but the positive of this book is mo and her healing, the way she finds joy in the compound, the way she befriends cassia and lily, the way she tries to help sophie recover, all of those parts are the best part of the novel.
I have to say that Mo's story was a little darker than I was expecting it to be. Which isn't to say it's dark-dark, but the things she (and her men) went through weren't light-hearted either. And her men? They didn't exactly treat her well when they first met so it's not surprisingly that Mo lashed out and fought back every chance she could get in the beginning.
Mo is...well, she's a feral omega. She's been living rough for three years and having her existence upended by a group of alphas when she accidentally wanders into their territory is jarring. Plus, you know, they pretty much abduct her and go all caveman on her when they drag her back to their pack house. And then they chain her to a wall so she won't run on them. Well, Darius chains her to a wall. He's eaten with guilt about it after he finds out what she'd been through with her previous pack, BUT STILL.
Let's just say Mo and her alphas don't start out on the right foot. She values her freedom (with good reason) and has had some extremely bad experiences with the alphas in her previous pack so she's not just going to hand her trust to these men who claim they want to protect her. In fact, she's going to fight them every step of the way. It takes a medical emergency that drives home just how terrible her situation was before she escaped to the woods for things to take a turn. Then the four have to figure out how to gain the trust of a woman who's been severely abused before they can start to work on planning a future with her.
Like I said, it was a little darker than I was expecting, but it was good. Mo was a mess (with good reason) and Darius, Archer, Elias, and Silas had their own demons to overcome.
Very endearing, interesting, and immediately drew me in. I loved the FMC and her quirks, though I had to warm up to the guys, just like she did.
Unfortunately, the shine wore off quickly.
I was so into it in the beginning, but the magic faded so fast that I’d take breaks, hoping I could find that high when I returned. Didn’t work. Don’t know what happened.
I do know that there are continuity errors. A guy knows something about her past without her ever mentioning it or any possibility of him overhearing it.
There’s also no conversation openly indicating that any of them are interested in her physically. They simply exist together and there’s tension and brief kisses (which were weird, too) but that’s it.
There’s the subtext of attraction, but when she suddenly discusses her heat with them, like it’s expected that they’d be a part of it, I found it more presumptuous than brave to bring up.
You can’t rely solely on our assumption that they’ll get together as the main basis for relationship development.
They all gave her the space and treatment she needed, so it was almost jarring when it escalated.
I don’t know. I liked the writing, but I’m disappointed in how the depth dissipated.
The beginning had a perfect pace of deep, hint of humor, deep, hint of humor, etc. Every good book masters this in some way to keep the reader addicted.
This one got heavy and stayed there, but in a shallow way? Can’t put a finger on what was missing, but I guess what it had was good enough.
Feral Omega was a 4-star read for me. I really enjoyed this book and found myself invested in Mo’s story from the very beginning. One of my favorite aspects of the novel was how Mo’s isolation was portrayed. Her companionship with her “friends,” Charly the stick and Rocky the rock, was both heartbreaking and surprisingly endearing. It did an excellent job of showing just how alone she had been for so long and made it easy to empathize with her character.
The main reason this wasn’t a 5-star read for me is that I wanted Mo to take longer to trust and open up to the guys. Given everything she had experienced, I expected more resistance and more attempts to escape once she arrived in a new environment. I think a slower progression would have made her emotional journey feel even more impactful.
I also wish her assault and past trauma had played a larger role in the story. While her experiences were acknowledged, I felt that showing more of the lasting effects of her trauma on page—particularly symptoms of PTSD—could have added additional depth to her character development. It also would have made her reluctance to trust others feel even more realistic and earned.
That being said, I still thoroughly enjoyed this book. Mo was a compelling protagonist, the emotional moments landed well, and the story kept me engaged throughout. If you enjoy omegaverse romances with a heroine overcoming isolation and finding her place with people who care about her, Feral Omega is definitely worth picking up.
I wasn't quite sure what to expect going into *Feral Omega*, but I'm so glad I took a chance on it!
I really enjoyed the story, the characters, and the emotional depth throughout the book. Mo was such a strong, compelling heroine, and my heart broke for everything she had been through. I loved watching her journey. Silas was another standout for me as I adored that he was the quiet, steady source of comfort and support she needed.
The story itself was unique and engaging. I especially liked the way Mo survived on her own and created "friends" to help cope with her isolation. It added an emotional layer that made her character even more memorable.
I also appreciated that the romance and spice never overshadowed the plot. I love a spicy book, but only when it's balanced with a strong story, and I think this one struck that balance really well.
My only criticism is that I wanted more. I would have happily read a longer book that explored the rest of the pack in greater depth and spent more time developing those relationships, as there were a few characters I would have loved to know better.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would absolutely recommend it. It was an emotional, engaging read with memorable characters, a unique premise, and just the right amount of spice.
First let me say how very much I absolutely LOVED Mo/Blue! She was so strong and brave. She might be one of my favorite MC's that I read. I loved her internal monologue with her wolf. I loved that she made her alphas work for her. I loved that she always fought back. I love that she learned to accept herself.
I had a very hard time getting past the beginning of the story. I struggled with how these men could kidnap Mo the way they did. The alphas were difficult for me to love after that. The only one I truly loved was Silas. I struggled getting past what they did and who they really were. I do love that they taught her to defend herself and they became her cheerleaders and support system once they understood her trauma, but they shouldn't have had to learn it to treat her like a human.
One thing to note is that my kindle app opened to chapter one. I didn't see the Read With Care section of the book. This book is extremely heavy and dark. There is sexual mutilation that is described in detail. Those parts were extremely hard to read.
I loved this book, oh so much. Most Omegaverse books often feel rushed when it comes to the chemistry, and all the other good stuff; i.e, knotting.
This story had so much depth, humor, and sadness I literally could not put it down.
Now, let’s talk about Mo’s character. I love her the most, and who would not love her friends Charly and Rocky as well.
I can tell you I laughed and cried every time she talked to them. It was so sad and sweet all at the same time. She is also a very strong and feisty omega. You will definitely fall in love with her too!
As for Darius, Archer, Elias and Silas they are all perfect for her, but they have their own tragic past and how their pact was formed was a heart tugger as well.
In conclusion, the way they all heal each other in the end is so touching and the ending was perfect!
I will probably read this book again, it was just that good.
I was honestly surprised at how much I enjoyed this. I’m of the opinion that you can’t do a *good* stand-alone in 300-ish pages, but there are always outliers. This is one of those. I was surprised at how slow the slow burn felt, I enjoyed it. There were parts that made me laugh. Honestly, there were parts that made me cry too. My only gripe is that the beginning where the MMCs are pursuing the FMC does not feel congruent with the rest of the book. After they have her at their house, the vibe changes and they become a lot more mature. They felt VERY immature the first couple chapters. All that to say, I almost DNFed it there. I am honestly so glad I chose to continue. If you are the type of person who needs trigger warnings, you really need to read them before you jump in. I don’t think I’ve ever said that in a review before. Please take me saying it now very seriously.
Fairly well written. Read in one shot. Dark in spots, though I don't mind that. There is on page torture, but only one instance. It does happen to the FMC, so mind your mental health. The emotional journey was believable; definitely gave me a case of the feels.
Reasons it's not 5 star: 1) The end, where the past comes back feels a bit rushed. 2) The foreshadowing for what I assume will be the sister's book, was more like getting hit in the face. With a brick. Maybe she won't get her own book and the author just wanted to imply she'd get a HEA? 3) This could definitely use a bit more editing. There were a couple of spots where a nane would change mid paragraph, or the paragraphs were asynchronous. Not many, but it really throws me off when I have to reread a page 2 or 3 times for it to make sense.
I love when authors write female omegas that aren't soft and needy little homemakers. Give me an omega that's more likely to bite than anything else and I'm already halfway obsessed.
This was exactly what I wanted. A tough and resilient omega, a pack of idiot alphas that do toxic things because they're too dumb to realize how bad they are, and more plot than smut. This just worked all around for me. It was definitely a slow burn. The trust that Mo needed for a relationship to happen actually took time and it wasn't immediate because they were biologically attracted to each other. The alphas learned how to actually act like real mates instead of slightly more eloquent cavemen. This was just a great darkish het-omegaverse.
The pacing is fantastic. There is smut (obviously) but it's slow to come and it doesn't take precedence over relationship building and the plot overall.
I devoured this book with no hesitation. It was over the top amazing! I love Mo and her feralness. Her strength and determination. Daria the captain of kidnap, stubborn and pigheaded. Silas the silent, gentle giant who collects rocks for her; he's the one I swooned over the most. Elias and his charming lady killer, and clown around attitude that will make you smile and laugh. And Archer who is the voice of reason and the glue that keeps everyone to together. They all carry trauma but the bonds that are formed are stronger then that. I really wish this story didn't have to end. I am crossing fingers that we get Sophie's story and hopefully get to see more of Mo and her "Knot for brains alphas."
Feral Omega was a much darker omegaverse than I thought it was going to be, but I absolutely loved it! Mo’s colorful potty mouth was endlessly entertaining, for both me, and the guys! Despite being fated mates, things progress fairly slowly, but understandably given what everyone has been through and the actions they’ve taken. I wasn’t expecting such extreme emotional investment, specifically when the guys overhear Mo talking to Charly and Rocky - I was crying and sniffling on a plane! I also couldn’t enough of a mute MMC! I loved that they could still connect on a deep emotional level without the use of words! For being a shifter romance, they certainly don’t shift very often. While I would’ve like to see a little more of that, the one time they were shifted was exactly what I wanted. Feral Omega was a really great read and with a little polishing and some correction of teensy tiny plot holes, it would’ve been even better!
A young omega has spent three years living alone in the wilderness, surviving in a cave and avoiding all human contact. Her isolated life ends when four alpha shifters capture her and bring her back to their compound. Determined to stay independent, she resists their attempts to care for, protect, and claim her.
As she adjusts to life among the pack, she slowly forms connections with each alpha while dealing with her trauma, instincts, and fear of losing her freedom. The story is a slow-burn reverse-harem/why-choose omegaverse romance focused on found family, healing, pack dynamics, and the tension between independence and belonging.
Did I enjoy it, yes. Was it mind blowing, no. Loved the FMC!

This was okay. I like a book with a deep backstory, however I feel this one didn’t do a great job tying all the pieces together. I think this was a good premise for a story. However, I don’t think it literarily it hit the mark for me. The writing felt disjointed and emotions felt very surface level. We didn’t explore any deeper emotions from the alphas other than wanting her just because she was an omega and she understandably wanted nothing to do with them because they kidnapped her. The writing felt repetitive.I understood the trauma she went through, but there was no lead up to her heat and other sexual activity. I have read and loved other books from this author but this one missed the mark for me.

Moira is an omega whose head alpha was defeated by a new pack. Within a short time of coming into power, she loses both her mother, and sister. She has been abused at the hands of the new head alpha and escapes before being send to a sadistic alpha she is sold to. Instead she hides in the forest for three years before found by a pack of four alphas, captured and brought to their encampment. There she learns to trust again before her old pack finds her again. I enjoyed the book, it's a fast read, with interesting characters, good storylines, and packs an emotional story. And of course it has a happily ever after.
