These men are ridiculously perfect. Are we going to find out who is murdering omegas? Or are we just going to get endless low angst perfection from this pack?

Every issue is resolved so quickly and with the healthiest of conversations. I guess that's good? But makes for a super boring story.

I'm so confused. In "traditional" packs are there more omegas and fewer alphas?

----
I "watch her do the math, three alphas, one omega, completely backwards from every traditional arrangement she values."

That's silly. She's only even there for 2 months. There were FOUR omegas who died the year before she came.

Now there's magic in this world? I'm confused about the worldbuilding.

How are they not being investigated when all these women are dying left and right!?

Wait. So, they're all bonded without bites? What's the point of "I won't mark you during your heat because i don't want your heat making the choice for you" if the bond formed anyway!?

This 🌶️ scene is not my thang. Does not seem spicy to me. Ick.

----

Then Julian's voice, analytical even now: "Pressure points in the feet correspond to arousal centers. Let me⁠—"

And the tension is resolved so fast? Also, her boundaries and emotional health are laudable but isn't she just 19?

This tension/drama is silly.

I feel like this story just isn't hitting the right beats.

Wait! Packs only include one alpha and one omega? Does that mean betas are included? How else is it a pack vs just a relationship?

Look, I love a consent king but these men are a little too perfect. They anticipate her desires before she even asks. Why does this bother me? It feels like there's no tension. No story.

I'm so confused. If her ancestor's name is all over the place and it's such a big deal, then how could it be a surprise!?

Wait, wait, wait. What just happened? Did she sleep with him? She saw the other two guys after she kissed the first guy and no one said anything. What's going on?

How is it so easy for her to establish a relationship with three men?

And, isn't there a fourth?

The romance seems to be too simple and straightforward at this moment. We'll see.

Who decided to create a world where women not only get period pain AND childbirth pain, but they also get HEAT pain!? It sounds as bad (or at least almost) as childbirth. Yikes.

Don't women already have it bad enough?

A class on consent theory!? Yes, please!

Very curious how this will play out in "real life".

Where is the water!?

I keep waiting for her to water these seeds!

Starting my buddy read with RL a tad early as I will be working tomorrow morning. Booo to work. Yay to a buddy read!!

Ooooh. What an awesome boundary setting convo!

Not super excited about a guy who can't express his interest without murder but I'll give this a wee bit longer.

I hate that Lee keeps on hiding things and lying about being OK. It just doesn't feel like this author is building a firm foundation for their relationship when it is still so early!

This is beautiful.

"I'm not so sure. I think it's very easy for us to make up our ideas of devils and hell. Most of us live in a tough world so there's lots of material. The idea of pure goodness, though, a truly benevolent god, we struggle with that. And when we try to make him in our own image, we get it wrong."

I hate that the mystery in this book changes Lee so much. Their relationship is so new for this.

Also, the mixed up spiritualism. Not my favorite

I hate that the men who are interested in her are too chicken to even communicate. Both of them leave her without a word. So rude! And she's off feeling unworthy.

Screw them! She deserves a mature man who can be kind and isn't afraid of himself and her.

I HATE when characters are holding onto a secret that makes all the difference but they decide to have sex before telling their partner the secret.

In this case, he's planning to kill this guy and he decides to "give him a little treat" (my paraphrase) and it SKEEVES ME OUT!!!! I'm not sure if I can keep going.

Aw, crap. Third person POV present tense.

WHY!???

I'll give this a smidgeon of time to let it try to persuade me.

Not a fan of them using an omega like this.

I love them so much. I wish they would make this real before having sex cause that feels too unsafe.

Body betrayal syndrome always makes me sad.
