2.5 Stars ~ It's always exciting to find a new-to-me author, but finding a debut release, also? Beyond thrilled. I liked the premise behind the blurb and I was hoping 'Omega Twink' would live up to my expectations.
I can't begin to imagine how Spencer felt when he went into heat for the first time. He didn't even know what was going on as his mother, an omega also, never told him about heats or that this would happen signifying Spencer becoming an adult omega. The only thing his mother ever taught him was that he had to look his best to get what he wanted. Hence, Spencer's Instagram account, desire to be a male model, and just a touch (cough) of vanity. The fact that Lane and Harley, his bosses, and the leaders of their pride, affect him far more than any other male alpha is very confusing.
I had anticipated the two alphas, once realizing that Spencer is their mate, to let him know and then proceed with plans to be together. I was very pleasantly surprised that the author didn't make it that easy. With the lingering remains of his heat, discovering Lane and Harley - the leaders of their pride, no less - are his mates, and having his mom send his ten year old sister to him to watch for a while, Spencer has his hands more than full. Lily isn't an easy child and causes more than her share of problems. It's no wonder that Spencer is firmly of the mindset that he isn't responsible enough to be the third leader of the pride - he really has some maturing to do.
I enjoyed this story, but I can't say that I was over the moon about it. Spencer was very immature in his thinking and he was beyond vain. I really liked him in the beginning, but I lost that feeling over time. Lane and Harley were great characters and I would have liked to learn more about them. There were quite a lot of unrealistic plot points, particularly the last half of the novella, that I had a difficult time getting behind, although that could just be me.
If you like alpha and omega stories then this might be the read for you.
