The Omega Next Door #4
Dripping Fire
Alita lives for her horses, but she is pursued by a dragon alpha seeking her specifically. She’s an omega, but she’s in rough shape. Can dragon fire turn her from broken to whole?
Alita has been living in agony with damage from a crushing accident with her every minute of every day. She has found a sideline by working with other omegas as the equestrian in some music videos, but when she gets invited to a party for Lexa, she also falls into the arms of Lexa’s brother-in-law, the dragon alpha Nikolai.
If Alita knew how close the dragon was to the surface, she would have run.
He marks her with dragon fire, and she feels a relief from pain as scarred tissue knits and nerves are soothed.
When he shows up the next day with his beta Alexi, her family is appalled, but she knows that she has one chance at a life with a mate, an alpha and his beta. She gets in the helicopter, and that new life starts.
Her life becomes her, her alpha, their beta, and Nikolai’s dragon. Only one of them never says please.

Woohoo, awesome stories!
Alita, thinks she is broken. Nicolas and Alexi think they never find their omega. They find just what they need in each other. The three way relationship has it’s ups and downs as they learn to put the needs of others before themselves. The three way action is pretty hot too, and when you throw in the dragon, ooo la la, it is blazing.

2.5 Stars.
This time, I started the book during daylight hours so that I could understand if I was mad or something is compelling me to read the stories.
So, we start off well. Alita and her brothers pull up to the Lexa/Hailey party. Here is where things don't make sense. It had been set up from end of book 2 that it was planned. All of a sudden, it's like Alita has no idea about this. Then she's like, okay, my brothers made the plan, I'll just go and my heat is around the corner. (Logic out the door) Then Lexa specifically warns her about Nikolai on text. They meet and suddenly Alita has amnesia/willingly chooses to stay in Niko's presence? Like, make it make sense.
Bitch, that was a fucking question!
This book really proved I wasn't going crazy. The characters were self contradicting themselves. One instance is above. The other major instance is when like in all the previous book, Alita is the one who introduces the next series of book, Betas in Waiting by bringing Luna into the mix. She starts, as per script from the other books, by saying Luna went through some shit, but it is not my place to share, then a paragraph later, well her life history is this. Then, oh, that's her story to say, a paragraph later, now, bitch, the gist is... Contradictions.Co.Ke.Com.Net.ElonMusk.Amazon! So fucking annoying!
“They don’t take care of her.” He frowned.
“She has been ill for a few years. It wears on the caregivers.”
I say, can you smell the bullshit? If you even have 2% of love for someone and you know what they are going through, guess what, you help!
Then, maybe it's because I've been diabetic my whole life, why is Alita just being given snacks all the time, being diagnosed as hypoglycemic (is there even such a diagnosis, coz that's a symptom of the overall condition) and then no one is doing anything about it? Again, contradicting the fact that the dragon heat cures all, because now it cures all but causes hypos? It's like the bad movie scenes, my sugar is low, and then you're getting jabbed with insulin. Miss me with the bullshit.
Niko was an interesting character. We have literal monster fucking, while Alita and even Lexa in her book were proclaiming loudly with their chests, there shan't be monster fucking aka bestiality, what exactly was Alita doing when she was boning Niko when he was partially transformed with the tail?
Then, somewhere around book 3, the heats are now fade to black scenes that are hyped all through the book. Alita's heat and then Alexi's transformation were basically fade to black.
Finally, how can all 3 omegas, in all the books, have issues with food? My fat, food loving self just had so many issues with this.
Final finally, I think what is making me hate this series even more is the fact that there are two ideologies when it comes to ABO. We have the Omegas are dirty, Betas are the correct way church ideology, then we have the Omegas are precious, they deserve everything, but Beta lovers can be used however we want coz they don't really matter ideology, but for both Alphas are King. Together with the instances of basically FGM, old fucking fashioned gender/society roles, like my mind was in confusion althrough.
Anyway, I am done. I swear to God I am not touching Betas in Waiting series.

“Do you want to run back toward the crowd?”
Hailey said, “Can we?”
She chuckled. “I wasn’t asking you, but good.”

I really loved each book from this series. I love this idea of the omegaverse and it's a fun world to immerse yourself in. I really hope we get more.
WARNING: Not on Kindle Unlimited - That is the only downside.

dragons
I love dragons anyways, and then I get to read about them and their omega was just fun. Now can’t wait to read on in the beta series.

Liked the interesting take on how dragon shifters are different than other shifters.

Omega Has Issues
While I did enjoy reading this book, it had some convoluted twists in the plot that caused my 4 star rating rather than a 5. Good reading though.
