Nest of Thieves
Who doesn’t love a bad guy?
My family is certain I’ll settle with a boring, law-abiding pack before I graduate from Omega University, but I have other plans. Dangerous ones that break laws, but what’s life without a little risk? With a little practice, my sticky fingers turn to skilled pickpocketing and I discover who I’m truly meant to be: a thief.
When a bank robbery that was meant to help me find financial freedom goes haywire, I’m taken hostage by a rough group of men. They have no idea who they’ve taken, but they’re about to find out. No one kidnaps Jo Walsh and gets away with it.
I hate them for taking my money, but respect them for their cunning plans. While I plot their demise, part of me wonders if this isn’t the pack I’ve been destined for all along.
They’re not good, but then again, neither am I.
Can I find a home in a nest of thieves?
This is a why choose omega-verse standalone novel. If you like slightly unhinged male main characters who will do anything for the woman they love, this is the book for you.

4.8 stars.
I am so glad I gave this author another chance after DNFing one of her other books.
This was fantastic.
I loved the banter and the smut and the fact that the FMC is a total badass.
Vette! Oh my god…when he calls her ‘mami’? So hot!
I love that hes sort of the leader of the group and he makes sure that she’s fed and happy and has an outlet whenever she needs one.
Lark..OH. My! He is so sweet and freaky! I loved the voyeuristic aspect of his love for her. Plus the ‘snaps’🫣🥹🥰Loved how that ended. So freakin hot and sweet.
And last but not least. Our psychotic romantic, Mac!
I loved Mac from the second we met him. He’s such a psycho and he’s instantly intrigued by the FMC.
And then every second he sees more of her he gets that much more obsessed.
Ugh. The smut in this book was super freaking hot, and thankfully, happened often.
Plus there was some spicy bits. We got a funishment, tons of praise, some light degradation to go along with that praise, and then at the end we got a tiny bit of primal play. So hot.
I’m so glad I picked up this book y’all. I devoured the damn thing.

This was a pretty surface level story. The plot could have been developed more and the relationship between the FMC and MMCs never got that deep. The ending was also way too quick and told in a bad way. There were many different ways to go about it that would have made it feel not so rushed and not give me whiplash with everything that happened in like five pages. It also felt like the author forgot to put some parts in so they were quickly thrown in at the end and it felt very choppy and random.
I liked the beginning of this book and the characters well enough but I wish we got more of everything. Even the spice felt rushed. Even though it was an omegaverse, it didn’t really feel like one. Just like everything else, it was kind of just there but not developed enough to really blend into the story. Overall, it was entertaining but very surface level and went downhill as the story progressed.

The spice was great, but I didn’t looove the story. This felt like a less spicy omegaverse spin on Den of Vipers, but the connections between the men and FMC felt more surface level and corny at times. The ending was anticlimactic and the plot wasn’t developed enough. Read for smut not plot.

Tropes: RH, omegaverse, crime
FMC is a thief omega and gets taken as hostage by the three MMCs while she’s trying to rob the same bank as them. She is currently attending omega university, but gets involved in the criminal world at a young age, not because of some tragic story but because she likes the thrills. The three MMCs grew up in foster care together and work for a gang.

Wow🤩 is all I have to say. If all Omegaverse were like this I might become a fan but alas they are not 😢So I’m am ecstatic that I found this one💕.
Ok so I love my PNR and shifter books but Omegaverse is just to bizarre and down right gross to me sometimes - no judgement if you love it- it’s just not for me ….so I stay clear from it.
This book however is yet another twist in the Omegaverse world and I have to say I LOVED IT!
This isn’t insta love but it’s definitely insta intrigue and respect. But feelings develop fairly quickly once they are in close proximity.
🔥It’s a med burn.
💓Jo- is our FMC and Omega and unlike most Omegas. She is a strong badass FMC she’s a thief and can can herself maybe even best most Alphas. She’s looking for the right pack but can’t find Pne that will let her be herself and not bore her to death. On her quest and NEED to find her pack she sets about finding a way to break free of the rule set for Omegas so she can live her best life as a criminal.
🐺 Harem- they are a small pack of 3 Alphas but part of a bigger criminal pack and gang. These boys are damaged bad boys with solid walls built to keep others out of their hearts. Jo is exactly what these boys need but never thought they would find. An Omega as badass as them who has bested them more than once? A dream come true💯
All these boys are OTT JP for Jo🔥 don’t look at her or touch her or you die.
MAC- swoon😍💕 I have to say he was my favorite. He’s the most unhinged of the 3. He falls for Jo the first time she puts a knife to his throat. And will do ANYTHING to claim her as his mate. The knife play scene between him and Jo was ❤️🔥.
Zette- he’s the leader of their little pack and the most cautious about Jo. Not cause he doesn’t want her but he’s worried she won’t be able to handle their gang life. He’s protective and wants to do what’s best for her and his pack. Ultimately he has no choice but to give into his growing feelings. He has a sweet way of caring for her life cooking for her and working out at 2am. Zette and Jo remind me of the mama and papa of the pack.
Lark- He’s our hot tech guy he’s also our voyeur. He’s loves to watch Jo on his cameras and become super infatuated with her. He’s the most worried about love and even withdraws when things get intense. But dont worry he pulls his head out of his ass and makes it up to her. 💓
❤️Each boy has deep seeded issues but Jo breaks down their walls and once she’s is there, there’s no getting her out.
Great character depth and development for all of them. A very balance RH I didn’t feel one guy our shine the rest.
I loved the whole thief rivalry and them Besting each other. It was a great cat and mouse game with each side changing from mouse to cat at different times.
Overall we get the rules of a Omegaverse but it’s a nice twist and change to see The Omgea in a power position in the relationship and the Alphas all needing a strong FMC. They were perfect for each other.
⚠️No OW drama or sex or cheating
⚠️no OM drama
⚠️No real trigger, some delish knotting and primal play 🔥

I’ve always got my eyes open for a new omegaverse RH so when this came out I was super excited.
The plot is different from a lot of the existing omegaverse books out there which was a big plus, and I loved that our FMC was an omega that was a bad girl.
However, I felt that the relationships felt superficial. I didn’t feel those relationships growing as I read and some of it felt like it came on too quickly. The ending also felt a bit rushed and overall anticlimactic for the buildup we seemed to have throughout the book.
It was an ok read but definitely not my fav omegaverse RH.

This took me until about 50% to get really absorbed into the story, but overall I enjoyed it. I was pleasantly surprised with how normal the Hs were, and I appreciated the diversity. They were amazing to Jo and although I wasn't a fan of her character early on, I did like her by the end. This was definitely a unique story and it had a solid amount of action, steam and spice without it being overly dark.
If you're into contemporary omegaverse RHs, I would definitely recommend giving this a go. I'm glad I stuck with it because it came together really well in the end.

I really liked that book and the characters.
Jo was a badass and I’m obsessed with Vette and Mac.
I wish the bonding and knotting parts were more developed though. In OV I love when the scents, the urges, the knotting and the bonding are written in depth so it was a bit lacking (still there but not enough) but otherwise very good !

I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed this one. It doesn’t read like an OV read, you get very little of the actual OV stuff, which was okay for me since the character traits of the designations in this world were very different than what I’m used to.
A non virgin omega who wants to build a criminal empire is a new one for me. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting like this as much as I did. I tend to prefer the sweeter softer virgin omega hs but I ended up liking Jo a lot. I liked her vulnerability, she tries to be so tough but deep down she’s just a young woman looking to be loved for who she is. She doesn’t expect to ever find a pack.
This book was actually a lot sweeter than I was expecting also. These badass gangster alphas were totally adoring. When it started I thought this book was going to focus a lot on the action and suspense but it ended up focusing more on how these broken neglected people found each other and the romance was weaved quite well with the plot. For the type of Hs they are they’re actually really steady with her and somewhat gentle.
This reminded me of a less psycho, less insta, and more focused plot version of Den of Vipers.
Overall: 3.5

On the TBR not for the omegaverse, but for the thieves and the heists. At least that's the way it starts off. The dynamic was interesting, stealing from the thief and the little tit for tat match going on. Then it gets all growly overprotective alpha and a hostage situation. I got bored halfway through. It went from hell yeah this is unique to oh no another omegaverse omega fighting her biology. The guys all had their own names but went by cars Mac, Lark and Vette. They all had their moments. A lot of spanish thrown in. Miscommunication and underestimation was the running theme. The twist at the end was unexpected, but at the same not that unexpected.

I absolutely loved this book, just as I have loved the previous books from this author. There is a perfect balance of plot and Omegaverse spice.
I wish I had a lot of insightful analysis to give you. But I don’t. It’s about thieves. It’s about misfits who just want to be loved for who they are. They aren’t good people. But they’re good for each other. Go read this book.

You’d think by now I’d be used to the Omegaverse world but it’s still taking me time to catch on. I still really enjoyed this book even if I’m not Omegaverse obsessed. While it’s so odd for characters to have shifter traits and not shift, I’m gettin used to the trope especially since there’s usually a whole lot of nasty dirty sex. Heroine Jo is no average Omega, she may want to find a pack of her own but since she’s got a secret life on the dark-side, finding a pack that will accept her hasn’t happened yet. Because of her upcoming heat, not having a pack and finishing up university, Jo has to come up with a way to pay for her schooling. Jo is a badass and can only find a happy and lasting match with other badasses. Who better to fit that bill than members of the Atlantic City Knights especially after they botch a job of hers. This was a pretty quick read, super hot with a medium burn RH romance and a HEA.

Nest of Thieves was omegaverse perfection! I have read so many different types of omegaverse this year, but Nest of Thieves had something that made it stand apart from the others. Instead of a shrinking violet, the FMC, Jo, is kick@ss and not a slave to her omega nature. She does not deny her nature; she just desires more autonomy in her life. She wants to be able to choose.
A trained thief, she refuses to settle down with a safe, well-bred, well-manicured pack. They do not appeal to her; they would want to shield her and smother her. She needs to be challenged and needs the darkness, the rough edges. That is what makes her pulse race. One foiled robbery puts her directly in the sights of who might be the perfect pack for her. But only if they can learn to trust each other; if she can be sure they want her for who she is and not because of the biological draw between an alpha and omega.
I loved so many things about this book – I adored Jo. She is smart and uses her brains to repeatedly best the men around her, but she also feels genuine. Her men are morally-gray, each a little broken, but each filling a hole in Jo’s heart. They are protective but not stifling. Jo does not have to sacrifice a part of herself to be with them; instead, they bolster her.
The sexual chemistry goes beyond the typical omegaverse scent cues – Jo and the men are also attracted to each other’s brutalities and jagged bits. Knotting, slick, and scents are still abundant, so don’t worry about missing out. Their s3x is far from vanilla; new kinks may be unlocked.
I highly recommend Nest of Thieves! It’s a standalone, but I could read an entire series following this pack.

Okay, y’all…. This was my first omegaverse read, so I walked in not knowing what “omegaverse” meant and fully thinking it was the name of one of the author’s series or something 🤣 so if ya don’t know, maybe give it a quick google before reading!
I really loved this book! Every single one of the four main characters is extremely morally gray, but I love a good villain, so I was 100% here for it. I liked the author’s writing, I liked the plot (and didn’t see the little twist at the end coming, so that was nice!), and the spice was spicin’, which I’m always here for!
I received this book as a gift, but I’m definitely interested in checking out more from this author ☺️

I appreciate that this author seems to be steadily improving her craft. I read Blood Owed way back when and I was like eh…it’s okay. Never read past the first book because I simply wasn’t all that invested in the story.
Then I read Party Girl from her Omega Love series and I was like alright this is better. Now we have this book/series and I’m like hell yes! 👏
I love a heroine who actually kicks ass and takes names. All too often a female lead is said to be tough and badass only for it all to be talk. That is not the case here. Jo truly lives up to her reputation, while also having her own worries and concerns that still keep her relatable.
The banter and smut were good, and I genuinely liked the guys. Each of them has their own distinct personality and I didn't have to constantly go back to the beginning of the chapter to remember whose POV I was reading. That can be a problem with some RH when the guys blend together.
Anyways, I hope Ms. Miles continues to write along these lines of morally grey because its her most promising work yet.

She’s such a cool, “not like the others” girl (it reeks of “pick me attitude” IMO). The FMC wasn’t one of those characters that read as badass, she was just annoying TBH.
I’m not sure if this author is fluent in Spanish, because the wording they used was stiff (and sometimes grammatically wrong). Is it necessary for a character to “speak” another language for you to make us understand they are foreign?
The plot? It had potential, but only if they developed the main plot and not made me read some “side jobs” that I wasn’t at all impressed.
What made me truly give up was the “MAC” carving after she was attacked. It was read more as “cring-y” than the dark the author was aiming for. I had to DNF @ ~60%. I tried, I really did, but it was just overall a pathetic attempt at a criminal/omega story.

Nest of Thieves was not what id expected from an omegaverse book but thats what was refreshingly different about it and was what hooked me into it. Thief Jo (FMC) gets entangled in a pack of bad boy Alphas - Lark, Vette and Mac when a bank job that shes planned becomes difficult. I loved the dynamic they all had together where there was plenty of sexual tension but not a lot of trust on both parts. Jo definitely gave the guys loads to keep them on toes and it made for a bloody brilliant read. Loved It!

With no one to turn to, Jo Walsh (h) is forced to start her life from scratch.

They're rough around the edges, but they're loyal and protective of their own. As Jo gets to know them, she starts to feel a sense of belonging for the first time in her life.

I've never read anything by this author or in this specific series before, so I went in completely blind. At first, I was a bit confused by the "not-supernatural-but-still-paranormal" vibe. It's like, what's going on here? But as I kept reading, it was really interesting.
[Mac]
I think what drew me to Mac was his chaotic and messy nature 💗💓💞💕💖. He's just so over-the-top and unpredictable, but at the same time, he's got this dry humor that cracks me up. And let's be real, he's a total alpha male - all confident and commanding, but with a soft spot for his favorite thief. And oh man, his dynamic with Jo is just everything. They're like two peas in a pod, constantly trying to outdo each other and push each other to be their best selves. It's like they're in a never-ending game of cat and mouse, and I am HERE. FOR. IT. I love how Mac isn't afraid to get his hands dirty and will do whatever it takes to protect his loved ones❤️🔥 . And at the same time, he's got this vulnerable side that makes him even more relatable. It's like he's this tough, alpha exterior wrapped around a soft center! I could go on and on about Mac all day, but I think what I'm trying to say is that he's just one of those characters who gets under your skin and stays there. He's messy, chaotic, and unpredictable - but also kind of perfect for our girl 💌🤍.
He's got this bad boy vibe going on and it's just so... captivating. I mean, I know he's a little rough around the edges, but there's something about him that just draws you in. And let's be real, his reason for taking her hostage in the first place was just a little... misguided. I mean, he didn't plan on Jo being a part of it, but then he saw her and it was like... game over. He was hooked, and I don't blame him one bit! Jo's got this feisty spirit that just makes you want to root for her. But what really gets me is how Mac's feelings for Jo changed as he got to know her. At first, he didn't want to deal with the submissive type, but as soon as she started fighting back, he was like... "Oh, yeah, this is my type of girl!" And let's be real, who can blame him? Jo's got this untamed energy that's just infectious. And the way he loves her - it's like he's completely consumed by her. He wants to make her his mate, and you can just tell that he's all in. It's like... he's found his missing piece and he won't let go.
[Lark]
At first, I thought he was a total grump, but as I got deeper into the story, I realized that he was just really scared of getting hurt. He had some major mommy issues, and it's no wonder he was hesitant to get close to anyone. I think what really resonated with me was how he struggled to open up to Jo. He was so used to being in control and keeping people at arm's length, but Jo was different. She was the first person in a long time that he really took an interest in, and he couldn't bear the thought of losing her. It's like, he had been so hurt by his mother's abandonment that he didn't want to experience that again. But what I loved about Lark was that he wasn't a total lost cause. He was still a lovable person deep down, and once he let his guard down and let Jo in, he realized how much he really cared for her. He wanted her to be a part of his pack, and that was so sweet. I think what really made this story work for me was the slow burn romance. It wasn't some instant love or insta-lust situation. It was a gradual build-up of feelings and emotions that made their relationship feel so real and authentic.
I gotta say, Lark was a total jerk for making Jo feel like she wasn't worth it. I mean, I get it, he had his own issues and all, but that's no excuse for treating someone like they're not good enough. But anyway, after he realized his mistakes and left Jo (which, let's be real, was a major wake-up call for him), it was hilarious watching the others clown him mercilessly. And honestly, it was hard not to laugh at Lark's expense. Now, I know some people might say that Lark's mom abandoning him had a huge impact on his behavior, but I think it's more complex than that. There's definitely a push-pull dynamic between Lark and Jo from the start, and it's not just about Lark's past trauma. I mean, Jo is this temptation that he can't resist, and she knows it too! There's this constant tension between them, where they're both trying to assert their dominance and prove themselves worthy. And what I love about their dynamic is that they're so alike! They're both stubborn and fiercely independent, which makes for this constant battle of wills. It's like watching two equals go head-to-head, with neither one willing to give in. It's intense, but it's also super compelling. It's not perfect, and they're both flawed characters, but that's what makes it so interesting. And hey, even if Lark made some major mistakes along the way, at least he learned from them (eventually).
[Vette]
He's got this confidence that's just infectious, and it's clear that he's got Jo's best interests at heart. I love how Vette stands up for himself and doesn't back down from anyone - if the whole world came for him, he'd just laugh and point a gun, no problem! It's like, he's this force to be reckoned with, and it's amazing. And at the same time, he's got this soft spot for Jo and loves taking care of her. He wants to make sure she's safe and happy, and that's just so sweet.
But what I think really makes their dynamic so compelling is the push and pull between them. Vette is this alpha male who wants to take care of Jo, but she's also trying to take care of herself and avoid getting caught up in his world. It's like, they're both fighting against each other, but deep down, they both care about each other so much. I love how they're always trying to outmaneuver each other, but it's not just about power or control - it's about understanding and trust. They're constantly trying to figure each other out, but at the same time, they're both trying to be honest with themselves and with each other. And even though they drive each other crazy sometimes, you can tell that they're meant to be together.
[All]
First of all, I loved how they knew exactly what they wanted from the start. They saw Jo and just knew they had to have her. It's like they had a sixth sense or something! And I have to say, their reactions were so spot on. They were like, "We want her, and we're gonna make it happen!" The dynamic between the three of them is actually really interesting. They're all about power and control, and it's hilarious to see them try to one-up each other. But beneath all the sass and banter, you can see how much they care for each other. They're all about protecting Jo and making sure she's okay. They want to take care of her, and Jo is all about taking care of herself too. It's like they balance each other out perfectly. And let's talk about the smut - it was so good! I mean, these three are no strangers to getting their hands dirty, and it shows in their interactions. But what I loved most was how they brought their unique skills and personalities to the table. It was like a masterclass in seduction.

The plot was also really well-done. It's not just about the romance (although that's definitely a big part of it). There's a lot of action and suspense too, as they navigate their complicated lives and try to figure out what's going on.

[Mac]
“We’re not going to hurt you,” Mac cuts in. “You’re with us now. No one will touch you unless they want their hand chopped off.”
“How romantic.” I roll my eyes, pretending that the bold declaration didn’t make me swoon a little. “And you trust me in your house?”
“Not really, but it’s probably fine. Besides, I don’t think you can cause much more damage than you already have.”
I think what drew me to Mac was his chaotic and messy nature 💗💓💞💕💖. He's just so over-the-top and unpredictable, but at the same time, he's got this dry humor that cracks me up.

[Lark]
“Jo.” He stands. “Things weren’t supposed to be complicated . . . they weren’t supposed to be at all.”
“I have no idea what you’re talking about, and I’m too tired to figure it out.”
“You should rest.”
At first, I thought he was a total grump, but as I got deeper into the story, I realized that he was just really scared of getting hurt. He had some major mommy issues, and it's no wonder he was hesitant to get close to anyone. I think what really resonated with me was how he struggled to open up to Jo.

And hey, even if Lark made some major mistakes along the way, at least he learned from them (eventually).
[Vette]
“Pretty faces are dangerous.” Vette studies my face. “We don’t know who she is, who she worked for, or even if we like her outside of the fact that she’s hot and smart as hell.”
“But we can get to know her. I’m not saying we mate her. I’m saying, let’s have some fun.”
He's got this confidence that's just infectious, and it's clear that he's got Jo's best interests at heart. I love how Vette stands up for himself and doesn't back down from anyone - if the whole world came for him, he'd just laugh and point a gun, no problem! It's like, he's this force to be reckoned with, and it's amazing. And at the same time, he's got this soft spot for Jo and loves taking care of her.

I would call this a sweet OmegaVerse
3.5-4 ⭐️
3-3.5🌶
So this book is both interesting and confusing. The FMC is this thief and she is bad ass and she has such a strong gray compass, I wouldn’t say it’s a strong moral compass but it’s definitely that faint line between good and bad. But the bond between the 3MMC and her is super super strange. I both believe it and completely don’t believe it at the same time.
The men go from zero to 100 in five minutes HOWEVER. I understand why.
She’s an omega. She’s crazy. They love it.
I get it.
FOR HER THO. They do nothing to earn it at least as freely as it’s given. Now don’t get me wrong they are not doing bad things to her, so they’re not bullying her and then she’s just letting it slide she 100% has the upper hand for over 50% of the book. However because of this when she starts to have quick and strong feelings for them it feels like it’s out of nowhere because the only thing that she’s shown towards them is aggression and anger.
So it ends up being confusing because you understand where they are coming from but you don’t understand where she is coming from 🤷🏻♀️
She starts to come around - once she begins to realize that a lot of what they have been doing and are currently doing is not alpha like and much more of a relationship like. Such as giving her a lot of choices and not commanding for her to do stuff however these realizations are after she’s already made a lot of mental “my pack” start of feelings. 🤷🏻♀️ so it’s still strange
But. Not enough to want to stop reading
About 53% in and we’re just now to any small amount of spice.
So keep that in mind for slow burn standards.
It’s kind of fade to black spice and honestly it took me WAYY too long to finish this book.
4 days !!
That means I was bored enough to leave the book and seek out other entertainment.
It was ok.
But not my favorite book.

Rory Miles is officially in my top 3 favorite omegaverse authors! This is the third omegaverse story that I have read from her, and it’s just as fantastic as the others. It’s not set in the same world as Knot For Me and Party Girl, but there are some similarities in the main characters (and I’m here for it).
Jo does her best to live her life how she chooses, despite obstacles in her way - such as her designation and the societal expectations on how omegas are supposed to live. The only way out of the box she’s been forced into is to use less-than-legal means. Her impressive skills combined with her take-no-sh!t attitude makes her more of an anti-hero than a true heroine of the story. Her reluctance to act on her attractions to the pack she encounters makes sense, even as I was wanting to yell at her to jump their bones.
The pack is perfection. They aren’t heroes in any kind of traditional sense, and the story wouldn’t work if they were. Vette, Mac, and Lark are all deliciously dark and damaged. I will throw down for Mac Daddy any time, any place ;)
The spice in this book is dangerous levels of H O T. So many kinks unlocked, it’s not even funny (ok, it’s a little funny). Everything about this story is perfect, and I hope we get to see more from this world, although I’ll be happy to read any omegaverse stories from Rory Miles.

The obsession is real...
Obsessed possessive alphas. Enemies to lovers. BAD ASS omegas!
I am utterly obsessed with Jo. Her skill her confidence her strength.
Mac is my favorite, psychotic in every way but the biggest simp. Total unloved retriever energy.
Vette makes me feel all gooey inside. It's giving "get in the car Elizabeth" energy
Lark is the sweet recluse if you will.
I love how there is not an obvious ranking structure among the alphas. It makes the conversation and the co flict resolve naturally.
I love this pack so much

This was my first omegaverse...and I have no shame in saying I needed an Omegaverse for dummies to figure out some of the basic concepts...but once I had that down I was set.
Joe is chaos...she is constantly looking for the next thrill and rush that only crime can provide. I listened to the audiobook, Bridget Bordeaux and Corvin King did a fantastic job with the duet performance. That means Bridget was responsible for all female characters and personified Joe to a T and Corvin was responsible for all the male characters...and especially the different personalities of the men -Vet, Mack and Lark. And the best part is I didn't have to choose a fav male...because why choose ever?

Joey (Jo) Walsh
I wont lie, I did like this one especially at the start. There was a little thrill and suspense from the getgo. Particularly, I like the author's creation of Mac. Unhinged men with teddy bear DNA are definitely my cup of tea. Although, I started to lose interest after the story twist I can't really put my finger on it but Rory Miles' writing always has an unfinished quality to it, a sense of incompleteness.

bank robbing omega?
This was a really fun book. I loved the plot. Jo was such a fun feisty Omega. I haven’t read a ton where the mains are in a criminal underworld. So this was super new for me. I absolutely loved it. How they all came together. I didn’t see that twist coming at all either.

If you love an action packed omegaverse romance with a solid plot and great, slightly unhinged characters, this one is the one for you.
I listened to the audio version and it is so incredibly well done! I'd definitely recommend it

Great sexy Modern shifters and a badass heroine/ villain. Love the guys and the relationships. But I saw all the major turns but I still enjoyed and didn't want to put it down.
