I had really high hopes for this book considering Lola is one of my favorite books and one of my comfort reads, and Bad Alpha lived up to them. I liked all the characters, and we got more action in this book. I liked that we got to see a different dynamic that in most omegaverse books. I think my only issue is with the pacing. I think the book was longer than it needed to be, so it lost a little steam in the middle because of it.

Fantastic read! I do wish we had gotten to know a bit more about what made Eve into the super awesome killer hitwoman she is today, but even without that background I was fully engaged the whole way through.  I was a touch disappointed that more of the book didn't focus on Adam, him being the omega and all. I especially wish that we had gotten more of Jamie and Rory's viewpoints towards Adam, I would have loved to see how they valued him as the centring omega even without them having sexual/romantic feelings towards him.  I would have even loved for them to maybe just state that they were straight, or given some other explanation for not wanting to be with Adam.

Eve grew up rough and while it is never talked about in detail, she definitely experienced physical and sexual abuse, probably even gang rape, while growing up in some unknown care facitlity.
