Betrayed and delivered into the hands of my enemy, I try to get back to my circle. But the Sentients who’ve captured me are more than just monsters. They tell me my past and promise me a future where I can be free, where all people of the galaxies can exist in peace without the oppressive Gretar Fleet.
But the more I learn, the more I realize the Sentients and the Fleet aren’t what they seem. Neither am I. I’m so much more than I ever knew, but will I be enough to re-ignite the circle and save the galaxies?
When I began writing Taylor and Leander's story, I had NO idea it would capture so many of your hearts and imaginations. Thank you for loving them as much as I do. You are making my dreams come true.

I've been looking forward to the final book in this trilogy since book 2 released and it definitely lived up to that wait for me. Seeing these characters again felt amazing, I love each of them for their personalities and their dedication to each other. Told in first person, multi-POV, and there's a handy summary at the beginning to help recall what happened in the prior books. Also, Ms. Archer includes character art for the guys, another huge plus.
While Unleashed is a bit darker than the prior two stories, I felt like the fast pace and action kept things from feeling too heavy. There's definitely more violence/fighting as the building conflict comes to a culmination. We also get answers to questions that have hovered since book 1 and some of them are heartbreaking. Through it all, Lana, Ceredes, Kyte, and Jeren are true to themselves and their circle. Plenty of side characters continue to shine as well and I'd love to see some spin-offs.
Even with the fighting for survival, there's still time for humor, steam, and romance. There's also an extended epilogue showing everyone in their HEA that was wonderful. I do wish that there had been another chapter prior to the epilogue or maybe a longer epilogue. Some of that is also greediness since I love this series, but I at least still have my re-reads.
What an awesome, cool and totally enjoyable twist on Omegaverse. It’s a cross between an Academy-star wars- terminator- omega- alpha goodness 🥰 It doesn’t sound like it would mesh well but on boy does it! So good 🥰
💫This was a page turner from beginning to end not one scene was wasted on filler or endless dribble 🥳. I was so engrossed and entertained that I hated adulting. From the very beginning you feel like you staring an epic adventure. The world building is really good. The characters are developed really good and have lots of depth. All the men got equal time with Lana.
🌟The Omegaverse is done differently and since I don’t read Omegaverse cause it not my thing. I love when I find gems like this that have a new take on it. No OW, no MM, no cheating, No degrading in the harem, no abuse. But we get the good stuff like the mating, scents, slick, Knots, and amazing Alphas.
✨Lana is on earth with no knowledge of aliens, Omegas or Alphas. She lining a normal life at 18yrs old she is school but has a horrible home life. One day as she is being attacked by a bully she is rescued by 3 hit alien alphas and they kidnapped her to take her to Omega Academy on a different planet. And that’s where her epic adventure of love and discovery begins.
❤️🔥The harem is super amazing ❤️ they all have reasons for not wanting to mate with and Omega and especially not a circle ⭕️ bond. But they each realize it pretty quick that she’s their mate and they immediately make the decision to change their paths and mate and protect the woman who they are falling for.
💕It’s not insta-love but it’s Insta-connection that turns into love over the time of them getting to know each other. But the story is fast moving so it might seem to happens fast.
❤️They are the first circle-mates in 300yrs and usually come in times of great need. As a circle they are very powerful.
💕I love love love that we know these guys have had sex but it’s not a focus point and there is no OW sex or Cheating ⭐️🥳💗.
✨There are lots of secrets and twist plots in the story. Tons of adventures and a galactic war against Cyborg aliens trying to enslave the universe.
💫I don’t want to spoil anything cause it’s one of those reads that keeps you on your toes. BUT……
⚠️Book 3 mild Spoilers⚠️
😢40% before they reunited which I kinda hate when the group is separated. I didn’t enjoy that part.
😅The final battle was very much a redo of Luke and Darth Vadar I didn’t mid but it was kinda predictable.
So one ⭐️ reduced for the series cause of the Ending…..
✨The ending was rushed… why so rushed? ✨There was no after the war scenes!!?? There needed to be a bit of follow up after the war and how things settled or even how the Academy was in the after effects. Who lived who died…🤷🏼♀️😤I mean we get NOTHING! ✨We also have no idea where they lived in the Epilogue what roles they played on the universe. Nothing. That dropped a solid star for not having a good ending. All we got was a sex scene. Where’s the follow up the WHOLE universe was upended. Highly dissatisfied.
But overall still a great read I REALLY enjoyed it. I would read more from the author and recommend this read regardless of the ending. At least we know they have a HEA and are together and in love💕
I think that this trilogy was a lot of fun, but it’s been a while since the last book and I don’t feel overly attached to any of the characters, nor did I care much about the story.
I appreciated the recap at the start though (I wish authors did that more) and I did enjoy the spice, but I did skip a bit of the book around the 60-80% mark. I read everything else otherwise. I just wanted to see how it ended without having to fully DNF it.
The writing is fine, characters as well, and I thought the plot was okay. I just found it very quick and convenient for what I read and didn’t want to push myself to read word for word hence why I skimmed after the halfway point.
It’s nice to finish off a trilogy, and though I wish I could have enjoyed it more. Hopefully the author continues to write and give us some more spicy books in the future.
3.5-3.75⭐️’s - the series was good and the majority of the plots were good. Sure the sex was hot, but there were times where it felt oddly timed and in the middle of a “what’s gonna happen next?” Action part of the plot, so I low key got annoyed with it.
The series started out good. But then this last installment jumped the shark. Though it's a shorter book, it takes too long to get the point and once it reaches to point, it didn't really work.
This was an entertaining series and I pretty much enjoyed it. I can’t tell you why, exactly, it missed the mark for me. Three stars out of five is still a good score though. I liked the characters pretty much. The world building was pretty good. The story was entertaining enough… but for some reason it just missed the mark for me.
I do want to know more about her Palatian heritage and possible royal status. That was just a side note thrown in at the end and completely skipped over. What heritage was her dad, was that even mentioned? This girl wasn’t even remotely human but she presented as human her entire life, why? They said she spoke only her native langue when she was brought to earth, why did they never give her that translation brain implant like everyone else as a child? She never had to learn any of the other alien tongues to communicate later. There are a few inconsistencies, things that were skipped over, and facts that didn’t coincide. Those bother me a bit.
I don’t think I would read this series again. It wasn’t bad, but I also wasn’t impressed.
Been saving this one for a rainy day, and man, it was so worth it. I knew I would love it and was completely right. I still love each and every one of these characters.
This is the kind of series I can see myself re-listening to, simply because everything about it is such a joy. The interactions between Lana and her guys are just so wonderfully endearing – the kind that I will remember forever simply because they made me so happy. And yet the author does not skimp on the plot. It was detailed without being overbearing, so even someone like me, who does not regularly read galaxy-saving scifi, could follow without issue.
If I were to complain about anything it would be a bit of an underwhelming epilogue. The galaxy was definitely saved and everyone got a happy ending, but I can’t help but want to learn more – about Lana’s heritage, the Larenoans, Onin’s child and – honestly I just need a spin-off. Maybe starring Uaxin, since heaven knows she needs some healing? I’d be happy with any heroine, so long as I got to see more of this wonderful world.
I absolutely loved the first two. Usually after I’m done reading a series I forget most of it but over the months of waiting for this last one I didn’t forget one bit of the others. Maybe that’s why I’m a little disappointed in the ending. It felt rushed like nothing was truly wrapped up or explained it went from action to ending almost immediately. And we didn’t get to see much in the epilogue either. I’m really hoping that’s because there will be more to them and this world. I loved Lana’s strength and perseverance and how loving the men were while still giving her the space to grow and encouraging it. Her writing and world building is immersive and fun and I can’t wait to read more from this author in the future.

Notes:
🔸Nice read but vague
The world building is not very complex, there are very few details given regarding all the beings and how everything fits and interact. The plot is predictable and not very rich, needing more development. Even the characters are very straightforward and direct, they lack a certain depthness that makes us able to connect with them.
🔸Bond/circle
I don't really get the difference between a bond and the circle. A circle is something that only happened once before but don't others (alphas and omegas) have bonds/pairings? There is a lack of explanation. Even Lana was not given one. What is involved? Do all of them gain power? Exchange powers?
🔸 Incoherent/unrealistic behaviour
Everything is very black and white.
There is no personal development nor growth.
The characters don't question things they should and things are done easily with no struggle.
There are actions that do not seem to fit with the background given.

My complete respect for the author and their work. No hate nor hurt intended with this review.

Not a bad ending, but then the epilogue was so unsatisfying!! I didn’t want the epilogue to just be a sex scene. I wanted to know about the aftermath of the massive war and what everyone was up to in the years since. Nox gets away in the end, and there’s no real closure there. That was disappointing.
One other thing bothered me in this one- Commander Bartanz being a Sentient and a traitor made zero sense. It felt like the author had wanted him to just be a red herring and then suddenly decided while writing this one to change his fate 1) how would the council/fleet not know they have a cyborg in the inner circle in one of the highest positions? They have high tech EVERYTHING but don’t have a simple metal detector to check their people out and make sure they’re not the biggest enemy they have?? Huge oversight to throw that in there. The guy had a metal torso for chrissake. How would that possibly go undetected in what we’re to believe is a highly advanced world 2) him being aligned with Nox doesn’t make sense after the whole part of the story where he was trying to take Lana for himself and simultaneously Waverian was trying to do the same thing on the same night. If they were working on the same side he would have been aware of Nox’s orders and wouldn’t be trying to spirit Lana away. I feel like the author should have left him as a redeemable character after the video reveal at the end of book 2. His explanation was plausible and it would have been more believable to let him remain a staunch ‘company man’ and then maybe let him die protecting the academy rather than how it went down. I’m not saying I liked the guy or anything, but he was just 1 too many villains for no good reason. Warverian and Nox would have been sufficient.

Really, my only criticism is that I had to wait so long for this final book. This book tied up the storyline very nicely. Most of the book is our heroine, Lana, interacting with, and against, her mother, Nox. Lana is the only one in the galaxy who can match Nox’s power. But once Nox turned to evil, the only option Lana has is to destroy her. She is too far gone into the darkness within her. But our heroine, along with her alpha mates; Ceredes, Kyte and Jeren are the only hope the universe has.
It was a little over a year between the 2nd and 3rd books of this series. Given all the books I have read in between, I had a hard time remembering what transpired in the story so far. The further into the book I got, it did come back to me, but I do hate waiting so long between books in a series.
While there are elements that are “omegaverse-like” I wouldn’t classify this as an Omegaverse book. It’s way too light for that. However, if someone would like to dip their toes into this genre, this series would be a good start. There isn’t much steam in the first book, or this third book either for that matter. But there are a few scenes with Lana and her mates that take place. Given that, the erotica doesn’t overpower the storyline, and I found that enjoyable. I do recommend this series if you like the sci-fi romance stories or if you haven’t read one and would like to see what they’re like.
Great book! Tied up lots of loose plot holes. There was a lot of talking, making plans in the first two books but this one was almost all action. Secrets are laid out, histories revealed, true information comes to light and everyone now listens to the fmc and her men. Plans come together, to defeat the enemy while all working together, seems a feat in itself but it happens! The mean girl finally sees the truth and starts working with the fmc, altho I still would have perferred she slap the b!tch upside the head in front of the whole school since she belittled her the entire series without any comeback. I do wish they had more povs on certain characters than there was but otherwise this was a great book to end the series!
RATING SYSTEM: 5 – Absolute love 4 – Enjoyed it 3 – I liked it… mostly 2 – Forced myself to finish, but at least I finished 1 – Couldn’t finish it
Moments: My highlighting system involves highlighting scenes I enjoy, find funny, and things that make me go “aw”. This book had 1 enjoy, 10 funny, and 3 “aw”.
What I Liked: I love Tilda, I’d love to read her story. I still love the relationships between everyone, beautifully written. I liked the final battle. Knots are cool, an interesting concept.
What I disliked: There are some more errors in this book. I caught two, it was Kyte’s POV but “I” was written when speaking about Lana instead of “she” and there was a quotation mark to end dialogue for Tilda when she wasn’t done speaking. There were some mistakes in the other books as well. Also, and this is just a personal thing and probably because I’m not used to the word, but “slick” makes me cringe every time.
Notes: This is the final book and I do like the ending, though I would like to have some of those answers Lana is basically promised at the end! Maybe like a little Novella about her getting into contact with her race (which we do find out in this book). We also learn something about Nox that it seems she might not have even known at the end. I do want to disagree with their assessment of Byran. I think he was corrupted by using Nox’s power. It was never meant for him. It’s too raw. But they say he was power-hungry. It is a nice wrap-up to the series. Though, if you’ve come this far, you’ve probably read the first two and I don’t see you abandoning the series at the end like that.
Overall: I very much enjoyed this series, and I’m glad it was recommended to me.
I'm not very impressed with this book. More adult time of course which was good I suppose.
Another good part is the author actually tricked me which doesnt happen often. Im pretty good at predicting what's going to happen. But Lanas father wasn't human but he was actually part of the circle that survived. Which I thought in the beginning that was the case but she made me re-think it
Sad part is I guess Nox raped him. This one was especially brutal and so deff had some mentions of torture and rape. Nothing graphic but it does mention it.
The banter was still good. I still like Lana and her mates but the over all plot didn't impress me much. Also it kind of left us with questions we didn't get real answers to but I suppose it's a happy ending so that's good.

Lana has finally learned that the famous hero Nox and one of her alphas Krenallus are her parents and that she shares her mother's dark.powers. What is hard for her to accept is that her mother is nothing but a murderous being intent on gaining ultimate power by destroying or zubjugating the galaxies. The Circle is reunited when Lana escapes Nox and they convince the FLeet, the Academy, what is left of the Council and the galaxies that they must stand together and fight Nox and her Sentient army. Millions of lives are lost but the Sentients are defeated and the Circle has survived.
Lana is an omega who knows nothing about the world she was thrown into. She is abused by her mother who turns out not to be her mother (what!!) She attends the omega Academy and becomes one of the strongest people there and discovers the powers hidden within her. She is the center of a circle.
Her guys are all different species and all had different goals they wanted to accomplish until they meet Lana. When they meet her everything they wanted included her. They are alphas.
The circle can either be a sign of destruction or a good thing. Lana and her guys made it a good thing. The circle appears when it is needed because of war. Secrets are revealed and war happens. They come out of the war as the winners.
Honestly there is nothing about this I didn't like. There was action and romance.
This is the last book in the trilogy. I've read quite a few of Lily Archers books and loved most of them but not this series. Honestly I struggled to even finish this one but as anyone who has read her books knows, they all end in cliffhangers and you have to read the next one. Many times I told myself that I didn't care what happens but for some reason I kept reading just to see how it ends. The concept of someone having 3 lovers at the same time was just too much for me, the story line was very bizarre. I thought the Neverland series was weird but this one takes the cake. I do like sci-fi space stories but the rest of the story was just not interesting and hard to understand.
The only thing that let this book down was the ending. It was as if the author was going to make an another book and the ending was just cut short. Is there another book coming out ?
The story of the battle and the showdown with Nox was brilliant and thankfully not rushed. It was the conclusion to the story as a whole that seemed rushed and cut short.
You are left wondering who survived, did the Larenoans get their home?, is Alana royalty? Did Kyle become king?
From the brief mention of children I assume one was Onins son.
It would have been nice if a little more time had been given to complete everyone’s story
It is only 4 stars because I wanted more from the ending. The last chapter ended so abruptly before the epilofue, and I had so many questions about the rift, the fleet and who survived, and how everything else is going! And the epilogue was barely anything!!! It's not fair.
I loved the omegaverse sci-fi. It was super creative and also super fun!
The smexy times were great, and the banter back and forth between characters was constantly entertaining. It was just the end that had me wanting for more.

I definitely have expected a VERY different ending for sure and i am dissapointed. After all the drama with her mom through book 2 and 98% of book 3, EVERYTHING wa solved in 1 scene and forgiven she was too. R u fr kksdining me?
And we came back to last omegaverse scene… And if i liked the total aliens omegaverse crossection, it really freaking died off by 2nd and 3rd book.
I’d rate total series with 3.5 ⭐️and crazy awesome beginning but author has suddenly slacked by the end of the story. And FMC was naive and untrained and stayed so till the end of the book… sadly
XXX! ADULT CONTENT, READER DISCRETION ADVISED. Pain leaves people hurting. There are different forms of pain; spiritual, mental, emotional and of course physical. One common truth no matter the form, hurting beings hurt other beings. Nox was hurt a lot. So in turn she hurt a lot of others. Lana and her men when together are unbreakable. Lana just needs to stop leaving her men.
I've been waiting on this book for ages and I was not disappointed, I liked how everything was sorted and the action it all made sense. However, I can't help feel like there's a tiny lot that needs to be tied up, like what happened after the discovery of the new planet that Lana is from, the cleanup of the planet, mini side stories of the side characters. Despite that it was a good ending and I'm happy I finally got to read this
This had the perfect ending to this story. Honestly, these characters were truly amazing. Some really good characters were lost to us during this war, unfortunately, but at least the HEA gave the rest some peace in the end. It sucks that their story came to an end but it leaves room for future books from this world if the author so chooses. This story is worth reading. It may not be perfect, but it will be one that sticks for sure.
I skimmed through almost all of it and yet again there was another mixup of the characters. Very frustrating when I'm trying to read multiple Pov's and I am then trying to figure out who us actually talking only for it then to be turned back around again.
This series for me read almost YA type but with more graphic type scenes. Not for me and the author really needs to make sure she keeps her characters in check for each chapter.
A decent read. I enjoyed the different take on omegas, it was refreshing for the theme to not just be about smut. It would have been 5* if book 3 wasn't so rushed. Everything coalesced into a battle that should have been epic, we just got mehhh...
So many threads left hanging. I have questions about the time travelling wormholes. Okay fine, I have a lot of questions..
It started out Slow, and got better after she finds her father. I hope the story didn't end there, I'd like to hear more about the Palatians. Also, loved the Zandian Easter egg. Also, Nox appears to be a lost thread. I hope that thread gets picked up in a related book.
This one was definitely better than the second one! The action was intense and interesting, even epic. There were still a ton of plot holes, though, which annoyed me that they weren't ever addressed. A lot of plot devices feel like a convenient excuse not to have more substantial character development and dialogue. The sex was better in this one, though still really freaking weird.
Man towards the end I found myself having to take a breather after every chapter. I was so tense and anxious. Not sure if it was deliberate but the epilogue told us nothing at all of what had happened since. No idea if more is to come in the universe or not but that was disappointing.
Qué les puedo contar el primer libro fue sin mentirles aburrido pero sentí como una chispa de esperanza por eso le di la oportunidad al segundo libro El segundo libro fue súper bacano no fue así como impresionante pero me dio gusto leer el tercer libro fue muy bueno Tuvo muchos giros interesantes y un final demasiado cursi
Unleashed is book three in the series Omega Academy by author Lily Archer. Well let me start by saying- OH MY GODDESS!! This me is absolutely brilliant. It has it all - action- betrayal- longing- hope - devastation- rebirth- mystery- and love. Oh we mustn’t forget so much damn spiciness that you’re going to need a moment or two;). Anywho, the cast of characters make this story real. Only question I have is - Is there more??!! So many questions still - Nox. There has to be more - pretty please. Enjoy!!
