Omega #1-12
Omega: Liam & Skye
Alluring but barren, omega is an unfortunate affliction Skye is trying to outrun. He gets away with it for several years, fleeing to a new city whenever the wolves get too close, but his survival mechanism creates a terrible, unforeseen result. By dodging and ducking every rogue alpha to approach him, the one that finally keeps up is the size of a truck. Liam is not a wolf to be disrespected, and Skye is all too aware of his place in the pack. Natural selection has never been kind to him.
But, strangely, Liam sort of is.
Liam doesn’t have a plan, but he’s got the basics covered. As far as food, shelter, and clothing are concerned, he does right by his omega. But still the smaller wolf flinches from him and never speaks. Every mild suggestion is obeyed to the letter. Something's not right, he knows that, but maybe it’s for the best.
Skye wouldn’t stay if he learned the truth.
Liam and Skye is a finished serial novel containing all 11 books plus a bonus epilogue.

I get that this is like all 12 books combined, but seriously this was so drawn out and long. I felt like I had to stay with it because I really loved the first 50% of it. First off, I'm a sucker for an abused, shy, or damaged mc and that's exactly what skye was. I loved Skye until about 3/4 in. I mean he got his powers and his confidence but in a really strange way.
Secondly, I'm totally into the way Liam was in the first half of the book. He was so supportive of his skittish pup and tried to make him feel safe and happy
Ahhh that would have been a better ending.
But no... we have to drag it out and make it not so good. I hated that Liam just fell into this ludicrous trap by his pack. I mean we all knew something bad was going to happen. Skye kept telling us!
Ugh I just wish I had stopped at 50% and not read the boring ending. I was really hoping this would have been better.

Phew, this book was long, at 800 pages! A collection of 12 serial episodes, I thoroughly enjoyed the first five about the underdog on the run, Skye, an amazing survivor, and his match Liam the most. I liked the suspense of not knowing what would happen next, or where the plot would go, and all the tentatively happy emotions swirling around the pair. The chemistry was great and the wolflike body language spot on in the writing. In later episodes most of the happy was turned into a sad tinge, with plenty of pack politics which to me wasn't equally engaging as the beginning of the tale. Episode one to five; 4 stars, the remainder 3 stars.

This book suffers from most of the same problems as The Disassembled Life of Duncan Cole: using several paragraphs when you could have just used one to get to the same place, sharing way too much about what the character is thinking that it becomes a chore to read through, dragging the pace out that it becomes a punishment to read the book. Once the story got into the whole pack politics or power plays it became painfully clear that Glass has no idea how to pare things down and speed shit up so readers aren’t punished for trying to read this book.
I had to trudge through multiple chapters to get any kind of movement in the story. It was like pulling teeth from a recalcitrant manbaby, with just your bare hands. There were two weeks between the challenge and the new moon “trial” or whatever, and gee golly Glass was going to make you feel every last second of those two weeks. If I’d been stupid enough to read every word instead of skimming, it would’ve been time spent on a useless endeavor that I can’t take back.
Look, I read trash. T R A S H. But even I, trash reader and trash liker, am picky about the trash I consume.
-Literally my inner self while I was reading the latter half of this book
The last 30% of the book is supposed to be action-packed but you could chop it into like a quarter of its size and nothing would be left out. And also in the last 30% of the book is when Liam decides he is going to be a giant enormous wailing manbaby. ‘Uwu Skye I want things to be like they were’ what are you talking about? When Skye was trapped in the cabin under watchful guard and you were kept away from him because he wasn’t meant for you anymore? Or when you were in a cabin with no plan or idea of what to do once winter was done?
What strange, idyllic, unreal past are you referring to?
At 80+%, I decided I was going to go back to loving myself, and dropped it. Abandoning this book is practically equivalent to treating yo self.
I’ve read her Pykh series and actually enjoyed it, even after having shelled out money for it, and regardless of all the typos, grammatical errors, and frankly wrong turns of phrase that she used. But I will not grant her leniency on this. Save yourself a cupful of regret for when you need it and don’t read this book/series/whatever it wants to be called.

Good storyline but…
This could have been an amazing read, but the drawn out mental anguish of the main characters over and over again was too much. I can appreciate how having an abusive past/upbringing can scar you but OMG! We get it. Everything was bearable up until Gabby called the cabin and Skye answered. For someone so afraid, why wouldn’t he tell Liam? Clearly if they called the cabin and said his name, it was someone from his pack! Which would inevitably lead to them calling back (but the phone was disabled) or showing up! Skye wasn’t stupid and had common sense enough to survive all these years, so that made zero sense.
Another thing I’m wondering about is how Skye got away from Liam after the grocery store. It went from him hiding by the dumpster to walking down a highway with his packed backpack.
And chapter 11 is a repeat of chapter 10.
Anyway, there were so many things and events that were drawn out ridiculously and gave me anxiety and heartburn constantly throughout this book. And if Omegas were so revered, why did the council decide what Skye had no say and who he choose was unimportant? They just treated him as an object to be obtained and controlled. Which didn’t make sense considering how Liam spoke about Herb before they got back to Sundown.
Eleanor seems untrustworthy still. She was painted one way (controlling and manipulative) by how she handled Mike and the others and seemed like she ran the pack, not the council. Then after Skye and the New Moon, it seems she was slowly starting to be painted as caring and grandmotherly. But that’s a hard pill to swallow after everything that she’s done and not letting the pups back out of the challenge. She did all of that! Even opening the challenge up to other contenders when it should have been just Mike and Liam to begin with since Skye was choosing Liam over Mike anyway! Like Skye would have went with anyone else if they would have won. It’s ridiculous.
Yet, she’s not held accountable for her actions by anyone else on the council and it just got brushed under the rug! Those kids dying were directly related to her actions! But she’s not removed from her post?? Where’s the logic in that! That’s a bad decision that took many lives and she’s still trusted to make decisions for the welfare of the pack? That I can’t get with despite the play that they would possibly try to challenge the alpha in the future because they were challenging Mike, and if Liam had fought him one on one and won then it would have given a new alpha a chance to run the pack. Then and only then should they have been allowed to come forth to challenge.
But, I am interested in Liam and Skye’s story after reading a sample some time ago, so I sat and read the entire thing just to find out how they faired… and it ends WITHOUT an end and a promise of “more to come” with another book… I don’t even think the title was there though.

FINALLY a book that’s not 2*’s. I could cry - With joy.
4.5*’s
“Liam just really wants to fuck him. But… He’s so small. So thin. So pretty. And Liam’s none of that. He’s rough and clumsy, better at charging and blundering his way through fights. I can’t do this. I’ll tear right through him. He’s not even sure he can hold those hips without bruising him.”
Ooft I love the MCs. I’m an easy lover when it comes to Alpha and twink roles so me loving this book was really a given to be honest.
It really reminded me of “close protection” - the story lines are in no way similar BUT the sex roles were. The big tough giant being led around by the petite twink trope? - it’s a hell yes from me.

ok.. so i went back an forth on 3 or 4.. this storyline was really good.. but the characters pissed me off.. at first i loved them.. i was happy.. but then skye changed and liam like.. hated him.. and that pissed me off.. so overall i did enjoy it and i did finish it but i also got irritated a lot toward the end.. the beginning was wonderful though

This serial started out good. Kinda felt like it fizzled a bit towards the end. Still worth the read.
Good base story.

I’ve read a lot of shifter books and this was a unique storyline. The plot is dramatic and interesting but to me what was really special is the exploration of how these dramatic events affected the characters’ emotions, relationships, and self images. the emotional themes really rang true for me. Some things I loved about this book for being so true and depicted so well are:
- how the dynamics gradually evolved in the MCs relationship due to major events and life changes. When your partner goes through a major change it of course affects you and it is not always something you can instantly accept 100% especially if it challenges your understanding of yourself and your role. You can’t relate to someone the same way when they have changed how they relate to everything.
-The intimacy was frustratingly drawn out and halting BUT that seemed very realistic for these two characters. Fears and hang ups don’t disappear just because you want them to. I don’t think I’ve ever read a better description of the inner thoughts/self consciousness and awkwardness aspects of intimacy, and that made it even better when they eventually figured it out. Struggling to communicate with your partner is real and so important and it is almost always skipped over because the fantasy is that the perfect lover will just know what you want. This was an exquisite example of ‘showing’ instead of ‘telling’ how to figure out how to communicate about sex.
- how trauma, guilt, anger, sadness and blame can be so tangled up that you can hardly make sense of your own feelings, you’re just full of negative emotion but you don’t even know exactly what it is, and understanding yourself can take a while
- how sometimes your family can really let you down, but sometimes the exact same family member can really come through for you. Being able to set boundaries and accept the good while protecting yourself is a skill that many people need to learn and practice (a lot)
The only thing I didn’t like was I really wanted a couple of characters to be a lot more punished for their arrogance that harmed so many. Sure they were needed for the good of the pack blah blah but seriously at least a humiliating verbal smack down.
(Though maybe this is actually an allegory for why government should not be led by octogenarians.)

this is one long ass book. Granted it was a serial. could have used a lot of editing to tighten up on length, but the story would still have been long since it was involved.
The first half reminded me a lot of the human omega books and was just so sweet. Which I loved. But the second half, which involves so much pack politics etc, it was where it lost stars for me. I like the MCs' character growth and how they adapted to each other's changes, but it didn't make me very happy the conclusion of the book works but ...
I think honestly, in a wolf shifter story, the pack is always part of the picture, but it's almost always the part I don't like. So, it's probably more genre/setting related than the writing.
Overall, it was a captivating read and I enjoyed it.

Great story
This is one of the first romance books I’ve read that deals with sex accurately. Sex is messy, it can be painful, and for virgins it can be confusing, awkward, and difficult. It was refreshing and delightful to read it.
I love how the author handled gay intimacy between two men who really have no clue and are just trying to figure things out. I also really enjoyed the concept of an alpha that really truly cares even though he isn’t exactly great about planning or making decisions.
The story line is well thought out. The world building is good. The character development is great.
I highly recommend this book and I’ll be reading all of this authors books.

I am glad I was able to read the full version. Last time it was just the first part. It is still just as good, maybe better, because theres more twists and turns and much more development. I am so glad it was a happy ending. I was questioning it up until almost the end lol.
December 23, 2018
Oh my...! I love it, I want to read more about them!, this story is sweet and very interesting I love Skye the way he is and Liam is an excellent alpha! The sexy parts are awesome!, I love each detail of it. I want more! Please!!

I liked the way Skye grew throughout the series but I thought Liam took too long to get there.
I'd rate this at a 3.5 because it was just too long for me. Parts of it really dragged and made me impatient to get back to the meat of the story. I'm rounding up to 4 stars.

The story was kind of too drawn out.
My atrocious grammar doesn't leave me a lot of room to comment about editing and stuff, but there were so many errors that I feel like there was no editing done before publishing. It was hard to follow at times because of it.
Overall, I liked the story. There were some POV's/details that didn't need as much attention and some that needed way more (imo) because they didn't really go anywhere or there was no resolution.
For example, the character Lucas. There was build-up with him, only for it to fizzle out to "I hope he ran"
Liam's mom Selene, who straight up participated in Kidnapping Skye, Skye was pissed. But we don't see or hear of an apology, they're just cool with each other afterwards
Liam's parents- they were overbearing and unsupportive, even when Liam makes his Alpha challenge. They told him it was best to forget about Skye, they couldn't support his Alpha challenge...blah blah blah but after his wins the challenge they're all like I knew you could do it and absolutely no discussion about the betrayal they pulled on Skye or how they underestimated their son.

Intriguing story, compelling characters
If give this 3.5 stars if it were an option. Rounding up to 4 stars is proof that the writing & the story are really good. Lots of minor typos, but so many that it gets really annoying. One entire chapter is duplicated & another few paragraphs later in the book are doubled back to back as well.
I often get fed up with constantly having to refocus after being pulled out of the story by typos, but this book is worth the effort. I read hundreds of novels a year, many of them are m/m shifter ramances, and I'm really impressed by the originality of this universe. I enjoy the way this story moves from human culture to shifter culture. Because it's an anthology, there are a few places where the momentum is interrupted but overall the story arc is engaging & well paced.
The characters are multidimensional & kept me enthralled, wanting to see what happened next.
This book would be a solid 4, maybe even 5 stars with better editing.
I'm going to read more books by Eileen Glass, she might be a new favorite author!

I'm really sorry that the author stopped writing when covid came, because she is a really good writer. This story could use a bit of editing; there are parts where the whole thing is just dragging, but when the plot picks up, I just couldn't put it down.
In the beginning this one reads as a shifter romance focusing on the two main characters. We don't even meet side characters, there is nothing happenning, not much plot, to follow, but there is a lot of character and relationship development and it's all sweet slow burn.
Then in the middle we take a turn, a plot emerges, new characters appear, the pace picks up, slows down, picks up... You get the gist. I would have separated this into two books. Yeah, I know, originally there were twelve. That's a bit much.
I liked the first part better. The second part made me feel frustrated at times, a little bit bored at others...
Despite all my complaints, this is a pretty good story, Eileen Glass is a great writer, and I hope she will get back to writing someday.

I cannot begin to tell you how impactful this story is. The length was perfect, at 700+ pages I was good to read all the way through. It felt like chapters of people's lives with the amount of change and growth packed into each character's experience. This is a story that I just didn't expect and I was blown away by the way the author drew me into each character, made the changes to their lives believable, and navigated difficult situations in a way that I could absolutely believe.
There is so much trauma packed into this story that I can't recommend if you get triggered easily. For me the trauma hit so close to home and it made me feel seen in a way that isn't common but also speaks to my recovery. I think this book is awesome and I would read even more. I'm so glad I didn't get this piece-meal as the title indicates (#1-12) I would have HATED that.
I definitely suggest giving it a read if none of the above is off-putting to you.

Well. I read that. I liked this author's other books, but this one fell flat for me. So many werewolf books are just...too much. I think I only finished it because I'm home all week due to COVID and I was grimly determined to see what happened.
First of all, the claiming takes forever. There's so many false starts it's frustrating. Then, I couldn't understand how any of the characters felt about each other. Hate is a pretty strong word, but it was used profusely in this. Characters give each other hateful looks and then a little bit later they're fine.
Plus, the sundown wolves were so cult-like that I just wanted to see the whole pack go down. Also not convinced by Skye's personality change or his and Liam's new dynamic. I dunno, this was just a miss for me because there was so much that should've been cut out.

This was a good story. The characters were well developed and weren't perfect cookie-cutter versions of human beings. The issue with this story was the many, many, many errors. Some scenes were written twice. I had to flip back to see if it was just me...it wasn't. Words were spelled wrong, didn't have spaces, left out. My mind had to constantly correct things in order to keep going and understand what I was reading. Had there been decent editing, this story would have been a complete five stars. I will read some of her other books because I don't mind having to correct as I read. But for those that can't make it through a book rife with editing errors, this is not the one for you.

2.75 stars
Rounding up to 3 stars because I absolutely loved Skye's growth, but so much of the middle and 2nd half was so painful to read I'm impressed I didn't DNF.
I also resented the author for turning Liam from the wonderful sweet supportive alpha he was in the first third of the book into this dumb, man baby who couldn't figure anything out on his own. It felt like character assassination to be honest.
The Sundown pack was objectively awful and I hated how Skye was treated but especially how little Liam seemed to care. It felt like he preferred Skye as a victim and that's a big red flag for me.
Things righted themselves right at the end (I'm talking 90% and onwards) but I'd mostly lost interest by that point. I'm glad Skye got the happy ending he deserved though.

This story seems to be set in an omegaverse where omegas are rare, but it's slightly confusing. It's a shifter omegaverse with no mpreg. Omegas are males that get heats, but are barren. Thus most wolf packs think they're useless. But one pack knows that omegas have psychic gifts and are valuable. And when Skye meets wolves from this pack, he starts getting these gifts.
The characters are interesting. The plot has lots of action. It's written in present tense, which is weird. Sometimes it feels a bit long. But, if you're looking for a story that has a bit of a different setting, this one's a good read.

Several years ago I sat through a 4 hour opera by Wagner. The orchestra music was beautiful, but the singing was tuneless. When I left I said that I never had to do that again.
That’s how I felt about this book. There was a good story buried in so much unnecessary evaluating of every little aspect of their relationship. I really liked Liam and Skye, but I probably wouldn’t have finished this book if I hadn’t paid $6 for it. Thank goodness I never have to read another book by Eileen Glass again.

Maybe not meant to be read all at once
I grabbed this because I'm not a fan of cliffhangers and this included all the parts. The first few parts sweet amazing but then it felt like unneeded things kept happening in order to have more parts. I was so annoyed with almost every character and wanted to knock some years together . I guess that also means the author had a way of getting me invested in the characters so that's a plus. It's a HEA but it didn't make up for everything in my opinion.

It wasn't a difficult read, just annoying because everything was in the 3rd person and when it was character change, there wasn't an indicator. Put the name when it's new speaker section, or at a tilde. As for the read itself, it was an interesting concept - usually Omega stories depict the Omega as weak and MUST have someone else, it was nice to see, for once, the strength that Omegas possess. It ended abruptly, but on a note that lets you believe there will be another story or they are learning to work together.

Slightly disappointed
So the story was good and I was happy to read it all in one shot instead of a serial, but... BUT, the author had a chance when putting this together to fix all the mistakes and let me tell you... there's a ton. Disappointed that this could have been a more stellar read, but ended up mediocre because the author just didn't bother and I can't reward that with more stars.
KU, paranormal, epic length, wolf shifter, fated mates, death of a side character, action, magic, Alpha/omega

DNF'd at 20% ish. It started out really well. Nice set up, decent writing. But as you continue to read, you realize Skye's entire demeanor, attitude, dialogue, and intelligence are complete dogshit. He whines. He throws tantrums. He makes mountains out of trivial problems. He treats Liam like flaming garbage. (And Liam is so sweet to him. He deserves so much better than Skye.) Skye is one of my all-time hated characters. And I hardcore aborted the fuck out of this book/boxset because of him.
I love the author's other work (e.g. Pykh series), but this one doesn't live up to that at all.

DNF at 94% LOL because it was just waaaaayy too long. This book could use some serious editing to cut it down a bit, probably could have told that same story in half as many pages.
This book started out strong, it was really sweet and I loved the characters. It lost me about half way through when the characters were separated for an extended period of time and the book just got bogged down with pack politics. The long winded chapters did not help at all lol. The characters completely changed and tbh I liked them better before.

Growing and changing
This book had me hooked from the beginning. The relationship between Liam and Skye got to a really great spot. They were able to open up and get to a spot where they were more like themselves. Even the initial being back home was good but it started to slow down for me after Skye had his revelation/ reveal.
After that it kinda dragged and I didn't like something about the dynamic switch. Skye was not as understanding of Liam and the death of his packmates. Idk. Just not my favorite turn.
