The relationship between them was cute but the plot was a bit stupid. I still don't understand how her stepfather even found out.
Also I think there are more m|m-Smut than Smut where she was involved.

Fun unique world building. I like that the author just invented a supernatural race so they can become anything to the story. 

The story is drama packed (check trigger warnings), but somehow still lacks a level of emotional depth.

While the story was predictable and executed exactly as you would expect, I did find this book to be a surprising comforting read and it made me feel incredibly cosy. If you are just getting into the Omegaverse, this is a great entry book to ease you in.

What too be my surprise was how villainous her uncle was. For a story that was so fast paced and very surface level in character development, this man had a real element of malice to him despite having 'screen time' of no more than a few chapters. This book has partially altered how I view Marigolds.

I cannot say whether I fully understand what the Manix are - the mickey mouse like ears threw me - I like the creation of something new to test my imagination.

3/5 spice

Interesting concept and plot, but the relationships felt rushed. I liked the characters, but there wasn't a lot of depth to them. The ending was a bit cheesy and the

male pregnancy was too weird for me.
