This book had me hooked from the start. I couldn't stop turning pages and feeling anxious from the first chapter, but in the best way.
The setting is unsettling. Ren's dad have debts and he, once again, takes advantadge of his omega son to pay them. Ren has been used countless times to pay for his father's debts, but this time it's even worse, his dad is auctioning him for a whole year, and the winner of the auction is someone Ren already knows, a brutal alpha who will for sure destroy him in a year or less. Luckyly for Ren, someone inside the auction helps him and he finds himself immersed in an operation to not only save his life but to end the back market of omegas in this cruel world. If this weren't enough, the man responsible of saving him and hundreds of omegas is an alpha that breaks Ren's thoroughly built defences. Ren is not happy about it. Brody is not especially fun or sweet, and Ren has enough going through life to think about anything else but surviving.
Not only the action of the book has you skipping heartbeats, the relationship between Brody and Ren is beautiful and hot, and with the exact amount of anguish. Apart from the main couple, the side characters are great, all of them have a distinct personality and it makes their team work really well, it is beautiful to see the trust between them, and there are some fun interactions too that are delightful to see in a book with such heavy topics.
If you like love stories born from difficult situations, alpha/omega dynamics and a team of very skilled people fighting the good fight, this book is for you.
