Jace

Her Monster #1

by L.V. Lane, Sam Hall

Sloane:

The quadrant. The place where they put men with an inner monster.

A place no sensible citizen goes unless they’re seeking a dark, unrestrained kind of thrill.

Only I love my little sister. It’s her birthday, and despite being the sensible, dependable, boring one, I end up in the quadrant surrounded by the kind of men only mentioned in hushed whispers with a sneer of distaste.

That’s when I met him.

Nearly seven feet tall, all muscle and a devilish smile that promises a night of pleasure. I can do this. I can escape the drudgery for a night, enjoy the wild side, then slink back to my small sensible life.

But his touch does more than light a fire inside me, it reveals a part of me I didn’t know existed.

Jace:

Every monster has a match. A female who is weak and yet strong. One who responds to pheromones and is driven by instincts every bit as beastly as the monster inside me.

Those women should be protected, not touched. After what I saw my sister go through, I kept my animal side on a tight leash.

Then I saw her, the cute little citizen taking a walk on the wild side.

But fate has other plans, and she’s not the ordinary I expected.

Mine, the beast inside me says.

I want to protect her.

I want to ruin her for everyone but me.

And I can’t have it both ways.

But if I want to save her, I might not have a choice.

Don’t mind me, I’ll be right here silently inhaling omegaverse smut after dnfing various JK books (oh the blasphemy 🤭)

So yes, this could have been developed in a span of more than two days for the whole true love, finding your mate thing, etc., etc.

But what do you say about her roaring his name and him hearing miles away and coming to her rescue. That’s priceless.

[Rain · Rating 4 out of 5]

*3.5* The story really could have used much more character development, but for a simple ABO universe, with steamy steam, it was good.

Big growly fucking alphas, they make you think that they’re made of rusted steel and barbed wire, but at their centre, they were gooey marshmallows.

Gotta love those big ole alphas that will do anything for their omega. It takes Jace a bit too long to figure it all out, but once he does, hotness. Lots of hotness.

[Lana Reads · Rating 4 out of 5]

Went in without many expectations but was surprised by all the action, a little thriller, a little drama packed in a nice short package. The beginning was so hot, this author can absolutely write the best chemistry.

But even though there was some action, don't expect much as it is actually just pure crazy smut fest with size kink, biting, and stuff.

I'm gonna read the next one.

Too many loose ends

This is a smutty novella so it's not like I'm expecting a complex plot and great character development. As long as I have a vague understanding of the world they live in, who the characters are and they end up together and in love, I'm a happy camper.

Which I was, until at the very end,

I quite enjoyed this story..it was different,where normally the alphas are the ones in charge,in this story the betas are the ruling ones and the alphas and omegas are put aside in an area of their own and looked down upon..there is rutting,knotting and lots of slick(that word slick..🤢)lol
But it was a good read 😊

[Kate V · Rating 3 out of 5]

2.5 - 3 stars!

Sloane wanders into Jace's territory and her Beta dynamic awakens to an Omega. Jace recognizes Sloane as his and Sloane can't help but want the big and bad Alpha. But there are obstacles in the way to their HEA.

This could have used some more character and plot development but it was smutty and not bad for a short Omegaverse.

[Innie | Kindledallnight · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is the first book I have ever read by Sam Hall, she's not someone I know, so reading this co-authored book with her and L.V Lane was something I was looking forward to.

As you all know if you read any of my other reviews on L.V. Lane she is a huge favourite of mine, so maybe I set the bar a little too high with this book? I'm not sure. What I do know is that I sadly didn't connect with this book in the same way that I normally do with an L.V. Lane book.

The blurb for the book is very good, and it really piqued my interest, but when I journeyed into the pages of the book - I was left with many questions for which I could find no answer (at least not yet, but I really am not a fan of not getting any hints about things in a first book even if we learn more about the world in a "next" book).

This is an Omegaverse M/F book, and for that category, it did tick all my boxes. I love dystopian books, but I struggled to connect with our main couple. I struggled to really remember what I had read....which is extremely unusual when I have read an L.V. Lane book.

I can't say if this reason is the co-authorship, there's no way to tell who wrote what in that setup, I can only be honest and say that I was left wanting, and that saddens me because I don't like leaving reviews like this.

There were just too many questions I felt were unanswered, and I felt like the "red thread" of the book got a bit lost. Almost like everything was juuust out of reach and I felt like the writing was a bit too superficial, it just didn't connect as well as it could and I struggled with not knowing what the actual world looked like:
Where are we?
What happened to make the world how it is?
How do you fit "all Alphas" in one compound? A compound inside a city, but when described from Jace - it sounds more like a city within a city, a derelict city - but a city.
Who/What is funding The Outfit?

The world-building in the book was not at all on par with what I am used to reading by L.V.Lane because that is one of the things she's always been so strong in, I've always connected and never felt like I had unanswered questions at the end of the book. Especially not a book that has a HEA and no cliffhanger.

Despite my troubles with this book, I am willing to give book 2 a shot as I am not a fan of shutting down a series based on just one book. I have read several series where I have favourite books inside that series that I could re-read again and again, just as I have books in that same series I really don't connect with and only read once.

I have given this book 3*, there just wasn't enough here for me to give it a 4 sadly.

[Emms-hiatus(ish) · Rating 3 out of 5]

A lot of 🌶️ with a little bit of plot thrown in 🤣

I would’ve like to explore the world a bit more, but overall a quick, smutty read.

[Cécile Smits · Rating 3 out of 5]

When in need of a hot little Omegaverse story,this turned out to be a good choice.
Not tóó heavy on the storyline,but definitely enough heat to satisfy….

Sloane goes into Desparion for her little sister’s birthday as a Beta,but leaves it as an Omega.
One that had a most delicious night with an Alpha called Jace….
Only he didn’t claim her….because he has some old trauma he needs to deal with first.
Which nearly gets her into trouble with another Alpha….one that’s got some nasty plans for her!
There is a hint of dirty business that isn’t shown in detail yet…..maybe in the next story,Ryder??

[Lammie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great Omegaverse Read

These brilliant authors once again built a unique omegaverse world. In this verse the world is ruled by betas instead of alphas and the betas see themselves as the superior designation.

Loved Jace and Sloane together. Their chemistry was hot 🥵

[Herguiltypasstime · Rating 2 out of 5]

I mistakenly read Ryder first (2nd book in this series) so I knew the gist of the events of this story before I began. That only slightly effected my rating as it felt like the two books essentially told the same tale: alpha male in Desparion, latent "beta" females who reveal as omegas after intimate contact with an alpha after a fun night out. Rutting to nth degree ensues. Omegaverse smut fans will be satisfied.

That's not to say there wasn't world building or a backstory in both books. They exist and hint at something exquisite and mysterious with Alpha Control etc. The conspiracy there and goals of those trying to control alphas and omegas was enticing, and that part left me with a cliffhanger and more questions than answers. I would love to read books from the pov of Dane and Art someday to get those answers.

The real buzz kill for me was the storyline of Jace and his sister Ella. So he holds back from omegas because of the rape of his sister years ago, he goes years upon years thinking his omega sister was hurt by alphas and hated her first heat experience. When he finally decides to talk to her, he discovers it was all in his adolescent head, in fact his sister Ella appears to have feeling for one of the alphas involved Snake (ringleader of unruly and uninhibited alphas giving all alphas a bad name) and defends him. Mentions she enjoyed the whole process. Sooo... his worry, his issues, his holding back, it was all for nothing. Nada. I prefer, if drama is to be had, that it not turn out to simply be due to a "perceived issue" or one sides misunderstanding, but a real issue/problem. It felt like that aspect of the story flat lined into nothing and I didn't get why it was included.

Otherwise this was an interesting take on the omegaverse, and criticisms aside, I'm glad I read it!

[Catheryn · Rating 3 out of 5]

3 stars might even be a little generous. I didn't like the world that this story was set in, it was a bit confusing. Different from other ABO books I have read. I could overlook this if I liked Jace more. I liked his character but he kept doing dumb sh*t. I thought the plot was a bit all over the place and the romance was almost there.




Spoiler Rant.....


I was going to reach through my e-reader and strangle him if he told her one more time that he knows what she needs... no you don't! If you did, you wouldn't have left her alone when she needed you...twice! I thought the drama/conflict with his sister was a bit odd. She has been living in HIS BUILDING all this time and he never once thought to ask questions about what he saw as a kid. Then she acted like the 'abuse' he saw, wasn't abuse and she was totally cool with it. We hate Snake but then maybe we don't because his sister was cool with hooking up with him??? I don't even know...

“Parting is such sweet sorrow, but…” His eyes slid sideways, and mine followed them, making him smile and me stiffen on my stool. “Looks like Daddy’s here to stake his claim.”

This is seriously one of the best written books I've read when it comes to quality of smut. So smutty and so good. And a story! Plus it was just the right length.

Includes knotting/omegaverse themes with lots of amazing dirty talking. I will definitely be reading more in this series.

“Open the door. Choose to accept what you are while you still can. Choose to alleviate a pain that will only grow the longer you hold out. Choose me, omega.”

[Rose Howse · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's Em's birthday and she drags her sister Sloan into Desparion where the Alpha's with their inner
monsters reside. Sloan meets Jace and reveals as an omega and it's game on! Jace does his best to give his omega, Sloan what she needs while keeping control of his inner monster. That works for a while but it's still sizzling hot when those two stay isolated during her heat. This is Her Monster book one and I am so looking forward to book two, which will highlight Ryder and Sloan's little sister Em.

[Liza Miller Price · Rating 5 out of 5]

So Sam Hall and L.V. Lane did a thing. A hot, smexy omegaverse thing.

Jace is a great story. If you’re a fan of either author you will definitely appreciate what each of them has brought to the table. Phenomenal world building and great characters that you’ll scream at and root for all at the same time.

The heat level is 🔥🔥🔥🔥, but I wouldn’t expect anything less from these two writers. This is the first of (hopefully) many co-writes and a must add to your TBR list!!

[AJ · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was … not very good. It’s been a while since I’ve thought about not finishing a book, but this one pushed my limits. I think a potty mouth British teenager wrote this book and tried to cram in as many omegaverse tropes as they could. The way it was written had me re-reading sentences & paragraphs over and over trying to make sense of what I was reading. Jace clearly has a hero complex and kept running away/leaving her alone for no reason, I couldn’t stand it. Only reason I finished this was because it was a short enough read.

[Ciru · Rating 2 out of 5]

Overall, the general outline of the story was good.

The execution not so much.
It was a short story but had so much filler and repetition.

I didn't feel Sloane+Jace. They had their smutty moments but I just wasn't feeling them. Apart from them falling into their designated Alpha Omega roles, they didn't have chemistry.

I was to get Ryder+Em's book but they felt like a parody of a couple in their setup in this book.

It just didn't hit 🎯.

[Marisa · Rating 4 out of 5]

I knew that this co-write would be very spicy, these two authors always bring the steam in their own novels. Definitely not disappointed when it comes to steam.

There was some plot and world building, enough to keep the story flowing, but it’s very much romance and steam. However, it is enough of a story with additional characters to easily continue this series.

A very quick, spicy read, perfect for omegaverse fans.

[Chalice · Rating 4 out of 5]

The couple: Jace and Sloane

Romance trope: omegaverse
Series: Her Monster
Length: 189 pages

Plot: Sloane has gone out with her sister, into alpha territory. Once there, the normally steady beta has a late presentation as an omega, and Jace, despite his ambivalence about alpha-omega pairings, can't resist her. But she might need some convincing; as a newcomer, she doesn't understand the strong pull of the mating bond.

Commentary: I enjoyed this book - it worked well as a shorter novel. I thought it was interesting that Jace was basing his whole adult viewpoint about relationships on what he saw - and interpreted - as a child. We see and hear things when we're little, without comprehensible context, and we carry that with us for the rest of our lives.
Anyways, I'll continue this series for sure.

Next book in the series: Ryder

OMEGAVERSE QUICKIE! Not much depth to the characters, and the plot was pretty much about sex. Lol. Good when you're in the mood and don't have a lotta time.

Jace and Sloane are definitely made for each other. She was able to soothe the savage beast and he was able to protect her tender heart.

[Jennifer · Rating 3 out of 5]

I have loved everything else that I have read by L.V. Lane, but this particular novel I found really unsatisfying. I had so many unanswered questions about the world by the end of this novel: What country are they in? One of the ones in the real world, or a made up dystopian one? What is the actual structure of the government? What is the natural environment like? Are the outfit trying to control Alphas and Omegas a private organization, or a government organization? The sector where Alphas are forced to live sounded like a small place, how do all the Alphas and Omegas in the world fit into it? The world building in this novel was, frankly, terrible. I NEVER thought I would say that about a novel written by L.V. Lane, since one of her trademarks as an author is vibrant, deft world building. Is that the fault of the coauthor? I had never read anything written by Sam Hall before this novel, and based on this one, I probably never will. The plot felt kind of mushy and vague, just like the world building. The hero was very angsty about stuff that felt unimportant, and the heroine seemed vaguely sketched out and never came vibrantly alive in my head. This novel did end on a Happy Ever After, so kudos for no cliffhangers. The epilogue ended on a cliffhanger that left me largely uninterested in reading book two in the series when it releases. The editing was high quality and the cover art and design was attractive and professional. However, the novel within was very forgettable, which is not something that I can say for most of the dystopian omegaverse romances that I have read in the past. I recommend readers bypass this one and dive into L.V. Lane’s extensive, fabulous backlist instead.

I received a free copy of this book, and I am voluntarily writing this review.

[Rachel · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was hot. Like supernova hot. Sam and Liv have paired together to write one outrageously good omegaverse will growly alphas, demanding omegas, and controlling betas all in a world that the betas rule, and where nothing is as it seems. I jumped right in and didn't look back.


I will admit I'm a reverse harem junkie and I partially blame Sam for this, suck me in with all the delicious steamy stories with multiple partners. So for a while, I wondered if MF was ruined for me but I found out that wasn't the case, however, when Jace was announced I realized I never read an omegaverse that wasn't a reverse harem so call me super curious about how Jace was gonna go. Honestly, I wasn't worried because Sam is one of my favorite authors and honestly I don't think I would ever hate anything she'd write and I was right Jace was all steamy deliciousness that I love.


Jace and Sloane had really good chemistry and it wasn't the whole alpha/omega dynamic, yeah they had that going on too but it was the personalities that worked together. Sloane looks after, protects her little sister Emma, handles the adult stuff, while Emma gets to live a wild and carefree life. Being the caregiver has made Sloane the responsible one unable to let loose and Jace is the alpha protector who feels a need to protect. Jace is actually a pretty good guy, he doesn't want anyone let alone himself take advantage of an omega, he protects them in a world that would take advantage but he has his own issues that causes some drama but he's good for Sloane who has to overcome her own issues. Sloane was real interesting she had to go through some transitions in this book that made her take a good look at her life and what she thought she knew about the world. I like them both and was able to connect to them and their story very easily.


This story has a slight dystopian flare to it because alphas and omegas have a designated section, Desparion, (think segregation) in this culture, well that's if the omegas aren't carted off by either Alpha Control Agency or the Dawn Agency, both are extremely shady organizations. Actually, the way betas treat alphas and omegas in this world is very disturbing. The propaganda that they are nothing but their base instincts, not really people, and don't really have any rights or can own anything is crazy. The betas are painted in a bad light, wanting to control the ones that they see as less than and willing to do some super shady stuff. Some of this is similar to Sam's Season series but even more to the extreme in Jace and it made for an interesting story. I'm gonna show my age here and say this world is kinda giving me Jessica Alba's Dark Angel vibes. It was a dystopian tv series that feels fairly accurate when it comes to Desparion, if you don't know the series, I suggest you look it up, it was canceled way too soon.


Jace was everything. Sam is the very reason I started reading omegaverse and it's books like Jace that's gonna keep me coming back to them, especially if Sam writes them. Also because of this book, I will be checking out a book of Liv's at some point. I'm pleased to know that Jace is just the first standalone in the series and I will be counting down the days until the next book, Ryder, will be released.

[Courtney · Rating 5 out of 5]

Whoa. Now that was an interesting take on Omegaverse.

I've been reading Omegaverse probably from back when it first started showing up, and I liked it a lot, but lately, the genre has been a lot of same old, same old, so I've lost interest and don't read it as much anymore.

But this was unique.

In this version of Alpha-Beta-Omega land, the Alphas have been pushed out into their own wasteland, the Quadrant, where they're able to run things their way, while the Betas continue to live in a more modern regular way. When a person discovers that they're an alpha or omega, they're pretty much dumped out in the wastelands (or sold to the highest bidder, in the case of some omegas).

When the story opens, Beta Sloane is going into the Quadrant with her sister and friends to celebrate her sister's birthday. Betas often cross the border to have a good time....if you know what I mean.



Unfortunately for Sloane, while she's at an alpha bar, she realizes that she's actually an omega. But thank goodness Jace is there to take care of her.



After their night of banging, Sloane freaks out and runs back to Beta land, but runs into more trouble there when it's discovered what she is. So, it's Jace to the rescue!



(Even though he has commitment issues)

This wasn't super perfect for me. It relies a bit too much on miscommunication, which is always a pet peeve of mine. But the take on omegaverse felt so different and fresh that I just had to give it 5-stars.

Can't wait to grab the next one!

[Cynthia Mejia · Rating 5 out of 5]

Okay. What can I really say about this book? This was my first L.V. Lane book. But Sam Hall has never disappointed with one of her stories. This is one dynamic duo. If this is your first foray into omegaverse, then Jace is such an introduction to this world!!! Sam and L.V. create a really unique omegaverse experience with book!

Sloane, our FMC, has always been the caretaker, the responsible one, the one who sacrifices for her family. She’s believed herself to be a part of one faction of society. So when one night of frivolity leads her into Alpha territory and a fateful meeting, her true Omega nature is revealed. Jace is a strong, protective Alpha. Even beneath the issues he’s dealing with, he’s a good guy at heart. And when he meets Sloane, an unclaimed, unmarked Omega, roaming around Alpha lands, his protective instincts kick in.

The characters were strong and well developed. The writing was impeccable. I love how Sam has a way of constructing her stories so that her words hold so much sway over my feelings. They carry me from emotion to emotion, allowing me to feel what these characters do as they experience it. And this creates a surreal reading experience. The spice level, as always, is so hot and just right, fitting to the story without being gratuitous.

This story is a short and sweet (and sexy) standalone. You will fall in love with the characters and experience all the feels. Jace is a must read!

[Bo0kSLoth · Rating 4 out of 5]

A dystopian world that will have you burning

Where in other Omegaverse stories, Alphas rule the world. In this dystopian world, those filthy beasts are segregated as soon as they reveal and kept in designated, gated, prisoned areas by the ruling class - betas. Using the power they have have not only the Alphas, they use it also over those weak omegas to control the Alphas. All to strengthen the Betas . . . Or that is the hogwash that they tell the public.

Sloane is a beta who thinks that the Alphas are violent and should be kept imprisoned separate from everyone else. So why is she letting her sister drag her down to the alpha district for drinks? Because she doesn't want her to go alone and get sucked under by alpha persuasion. When she finds herself looking into the eyes of an alpha, touching a hand, and feeling an electric zing that will forever change her, Sloane knows that she may have come into this club as a beta but somehow this sexy magnetic alpha brought out the omega in her.

Jace knew there was something unique about the small woman that sat in his club. The beast inside of him screams MINE. Drawn toward her. No one will keep him from her and her from him. Not her sister, not other Alphas, not politics, not even her silly beta ideals. The embers that have started to burn between them will ignite with passion and so much chemistry.

It's a world with so much yet to be revealed to the reader. Can wait for the next book

[Book Life With Jen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Jace, Her Monster book 1 by Sam Hall and LV lane is a quick easy journey into a unique omegaverse world that’s is by far one of my favorites so far! Hall and Lane did an absolutely amazing job creating this world with such phenomenal characters that’s grab a hold of you right from the beginning.

This was a slightly different take on a world full of alphas, betas and omegas and I loved it! Sloane, our sweet and compassionate FMC, always thought she was a Beta until one night they venture into the Alphas territory for a little fun for her sister’s birthday and Sloan’s meets an alpha named Jace, a super protective and fierce alpha; who’s mere presence triggers her—showing she’s really an Omega. An Omega that is currently in the midst of Alpha territory…unmarked and unclaimed.

Can Jace get over his inner fears of hurting this precious Omega but claiming her as his, or will he lose her because of his hesitations? In a world wheee Omegas don’t have many rights, and can be claimed like property, we can only hope and pray she doesn’t fall into the wrong hands…

Overall, if you’re a fan of dystopian omegaverse romance stories packed full of fated mates, insta connections and of course lots of heat and chemistry, then this book is for you! This book may be short and sweet but dang is it spicy in all the right ways!!! And needless to say, I can’t wait for Ryder’s story!

[Natasha diary_of_a_sarcastic_bookworm · Rating 3 out of 5]

2.5 ⭐️

This is a first for me by these two authors, I am interested in the second as it was left on a cliffhanger. Can’t stay it totally captured me to a point I’m running to Amazon but it was a nice short smutty read.

- alpha
- Beta/Omega
- Divided
- Dual POV
- 3rd person (which never fully captivates me)
- Smut

Our two leads are Jace and Sloane, one night changed everything for them both. Tension between them is high from the get go.

Sloane after losing her parents has looked after her sister and their estate. As beta’s from a wealthy family, Sloane is level headed and always in control. That’s until she meets Jace, only discover she isn’t Beta at all one touch from him and her Omega is screaming to come out.

Jace all alpha that’s for sure! He has managed to keep himself and his alpha in control when around Omegas in the past but this beauty has shown up and rocked his world. He is traumatised by what he seen his sister go through however what he believes he seen when he was too young to understand has all been a mistake.

Can they put their issues aside and be together?
Will the Alpha patrol get in the way and sell Sloane before Jace can even explain himself to her?

This book could have done with more character and plot development but it was still a good wee smutty, Omegaverse read.

[Mimi.Reads.Smut · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a fun, spicy fated mates story! It’s an omegaverse-style book, with a different take on that kind of A/B/O society. In this world, betas run everything while alphas are denigrated as mindless beasts who can’t control themselves in civilization, and omegas are rare but weak and needy, whose only purpose is breeding with alphas. Sloane is a late-bloomer who thought she was a beta, even though that designation didn’t feel completely right. When she meets Jace, a giant, protective alpha, it triggers her omega designation to come forward and her life gets turned way upside down.

Jace and Sloane both have hang-ups regarding alphas and omegas, which complicates things and leads to some scary events and revelations about what is really happening in the world.

This has all of the omegaverse standards; nests, ruts, knots, and bites. It’s spicy AF and I love the developing relationship between Jace and Sloane, especially since they’re both hesitant for different but valid reasons. The supporting characters are also fascinating and I’m excited to see more of them in future books, as well as finding the answers to some of the questions that were left open. Such a great start to a new series!

[Leslie Ayla · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have been an ARC reader for both Sam Hall and L.V. Lane for almost a year now… And to say I was ecstatic when I heard they were doing a co-write is putting it very mildly. And can I just say… I was NOT disappointed.

Jace is the most amazing alpha I have read in some time. He is not only aware of how dangerous he and other alphas can be, he is so aware of it he breaks my heart a little. The way Jace protects and handles Sloan is beautiful, hot and sweet all in one.

Sloan, such a soft ,I want to say mousy but that doesn’t do her justice, dependable character. Goes into the one place good girls are told not to go to protect her sister. Ends up revealing as an omega in the one place you probably don’t want to be doing it EVER.

Lucky for her (and us) Jace is right there when this happens and does everything to keep her safe and protect (even from himself)

It’s a great story, with really colourful and fully rounded characters. I cannot wait to see more from this series. Nudge-nudge wink-wink Ryder. It’s a newish take on the omegaverse where betas seem to be ruling for a change which is refreshing and the world-building is epic (as it always is for both of these authors).

Seriously good read. Loved every second of it.
