Fun unique world building. I like that the author just invented a supernatural race so they can become anything to the story.Â
The story is drama packed (check trigger warnings), but somehow still lacks a level of emotional depth.Â

I fear Pack Darling is my omegaverse version of The Love Hypothesis and all other books in this genre will be compared to it.
This is a textbook example of YMMV. I see a lot of four and five stars for this book but I can't get there. Manix has made me very aware that my days of picking books with the clear intention of reading explicit spice are several years behind me.
I was skimming pages (and pages and pages and then even more pages) of sex, searching for the plot. It was there, just heavily padded out with a loooooot of smut. In reality, if you removed all of those sections, you would be left with a decent novella.
So if you're here for the the story and the characters, you may be disappointed. If you're here for poly omegaverse group sex, you'll love it.
