Knot Who She Claims
All my life, I thought surviving Eros Academy would be the hardest thing I’d ever do.
I was wrong.
The war is no longer a distant threat lurking beyond our borders. It’s here, and it’s taken me captive.
Kidnapped by the Noths and dragged deep into enemy territory, I have two choices—wait for rescue or save myself.
I choose violence.
Eros Academy taught me how to fight, how to survive, and how to kill. For the first time in my life, all those lessons might actually keep me alive.
Unfortunately, staying alive is only half the battle.
While I’m fighting my way home, my mates are tearing the kingdom apart searching for me. And when the war finally reaches its breaking point, we’re all forced onto the front lines.
Which means becoming Teddie again.
The disguise that once protected me now threatens everything.
Because secrets don’t stay buried forever.
Not my identity.
Not the truth about the war.
And definitely not the lies my mother, the Queen, has spent years hiding.
Alpha Team X has always been willing to kill for me.
The question is what happens when they discover who I really am.
And whether any of us will survive long enough to find out.
Knot What She Seems is a non-shifting, contemporary omegaverse that takes place in a world different from our own, where most of the countries are ruled by monarchies. In this book, you can expect knotting, nesting, heat, ruts, and possessive alphas who worship the ground their omega walks on. This books contains no MM, no FF, and no OW drama. It is part two of a duet.

5-STAR OMEGAVERSE MASTERPIECE ALERT!
🚨 5-STAR OMEGAVERSE MASTERPIECE ALERT! 🚨
📖 Review: Knot Who She Claims (Secret Darling Duet, Book 2) ✍️ By Katie May & Ann Denton
OMG, THEY’VE DONE IT AGAIN! 🤩🎉 When these two powerhouse authors come together, absolute magic happens! I have been on absolute pins and needles waiting to satisfy the brutal cliffhanger from book one, and let me tell you—this conclusion was worth every single second of the wait! 😭🙌
I live on the East Coast, and the second that Kindle edition dropped, I was READY. ⏰ I woke up at 4:30 AM, read for an hour, tried to nap, and realized there was absolutely no way I could function in the real world. I literally called in sick to work just to hunker down and devour this book to my heart’s content! No regrets! 🛌❌💼 Only pure bookish bliss.
🎢 The Vibe: A Theme Park of Thrills
If you thought book one was intense, Knot Who She Claims takes us through a literal theme park full of wild rides, breathless thrills, and non-stop action! 🎡🔥 Princess Brylee and her gorgeous "Scent Matched Alpha Mates"—Kylian, Colter, Luka, and Ridge (our fiercely protective de facto alpha leader)—are back, and the high-stakes tension is dialed up to a thousand.
🎭 The Plot: No Damsel in Distress Here!
We pick up right where the chaos left off. As a quick refresher for this brilliant world of Hypso:
The Stakes: Brylee’s twin brother, Theodore Castor (Teddie), is battling Karkinos, a terminal illness where the only know, cure is in enemy territory and their mother the Queen is not interested in obtaining it. 💔
The Disguise: To prevent the monarchy from destabilizing, Brylee has been pulling double duty—posing as Teddie at the brutal alpha military training grounds of Eros Academy, while simultaneously tackling her own training at Darling Academy. She was able to get enrolled, all with the help of Teddie’s loyal mate and Omega, Caren he helped get it all set up including the disguise.
The Mission: The only cure lies deep within the territory of their sworn enemies, Nóthos, who have been at war with Hypso for what feels like forever. Can there be peace? Can we find a cure for Teddie so that Brylee can stop pretending and be a normal girl with her mates?
Book one ended with Brylee being kidnapped, but if the villains thought they were getting an easy target like before, they thought wrong! 💅 Brylee proves she is NO damsel in distress. Her simultaneous training at both academies taught her invaluable lessons, and she is smart, sharp, and ready to fight back! 🛡️💥
Of course, we also get appearances from Brylee’s roommate and BFF, Harper! 👯♀️ Can’t forget this ultimate ride-or-die bestie—we love a supportive queen! I'm all about girl power!
🌶️ The Steam: DAMN. 🔥🤩🔥
Okay, can we talk about the spicy scenes?! I don’t think there was much of any steam in book one (the slow burn was agonizing in the best way possible), but DAMN, book 2 gives us ALL the good-good! 🥵 collective groans, knotting, nesting, heat, and ruts—the payoff with Alpha Team X is absolutely top-tier. These possessive alphas worship the ground she walks on, and the chemistry is explosive! 🌋
👑 The Big Questions: Will There Be Peace Can we get the cure for Teddie?
Will the ancient war with Nóthos ever end? With one problem after another and betrayal hitting from every single angle, you will be flipping page-after-page trying to see if a truce is even possible and if so, will Teddie get the cure in time? Can Brylee and her pack actually get their hard-earned Happily Ever After? 😭❤️ You need to read this final conclusion to find out!
📢 Final Thoughts & My Ultimate Wishlist 👇
This is a 5-star Omegaverse masterpiece. It has everything:
Unparalleled worldbuilding, ✅
Fierce reverse harem dynamics, ✅
Massive stakes, ✅
Strong morally gray, obsessed, over protective Alpha’s ✅
Loyal female bff ✅

A sassy heroine who holds her own against the most vicious alphas in the kingdom. 🏆 ✅
Dear Katie May & Ann Denton: PLEASE tell me we are getting a spin-off series for the Nóthos princes?! 🙏👑 Because I promise you, I will be the absolute first in line to buy it!

Finally
I literally set a reminder to make sure I read this as soon as it came out. I read book one at the end of last year and have been biding my time until this one came out. Such a feel good (and spicy ) series. Found family, plenty of spice and a real and honest badass fmc.
