This book! THIS BOOK! The sexual tension in this book has me in a CHOKEHOLD! I’m honestly so happy there are more books coming for this series. This book has a bit of a YA feel but I think the spice will grow with the series.

This book made me want to pull my hair out. It was sooooooo bad like honestly it was just 350 pages which is very short and it should've taken me two days max to finish but it took me FIVE DAYS and you know what?? Me and Roxy initially were gonna buddy read it on facetime and we did or at least tried but it was soo bad that it took us two hours to read two chapters (we started yapping and our adhd kicked in) but I actually wanted to cry because when I was thinking of writing this review I was trying to find something good and it took me so long, the funny thing is that me and Roxy were supposed to finish it one day but it was so horrific that she still hasn't LMAOO. This book felt like a prologue becuase honestly nothing much of substance happened and the writing style wasn't that good either, it had me laughing at it because I was absolutely baffled at what I was reading, it honestly torture. The idea of this book was very interesting and it also had one thing that I think is majority of the reason why people are reading this 10 mates one girl and lmao dont be going through this book thinking that cuz that part doesnt happen until the very last chapter. We want to know the answer to our question so we will read the second book but not until we've fully healed.
The pacing was absolutely terrible because long chapters coupled up with slow pacing NEVER works and this book suffered the same fate, I also believe that there are many RH books that did it wayy better than this.
Me and Roxy basically started this book because we wanted to how the relationship worked and we thought that the BR of this would be fun like our BR for den of vipers (we hated it) would be and the only similar thing about our buddy read of this with that was how bad both the books were but while reading that we actually got some enjoyment, this was more torturous. The whole relationship was not handled well, the arcs werent explored well, I couldn't feel anything for anyone and most of the time I ignore if the book is flawed or now IF I enjoy it but I found nothing in this to enjoy so that couldn't be the case here.
I have no idea how Isobel (megamind) survived with one man let alone ten considering how much girls hate men at times. Megamind was the most emotionless, expressionless, dumb, dry fmc that I have ever read, the only time I ever felt anything for her was when she got to know what happened to her mother and everything that she did felt so forced and so unnecessary, I honestly do not know what even happened in this book because I NEEDED SOMETHING but Jane Washington GAVE US NOTHING. I honestly stopped this to open my insta to watch those brain rotting reels because those were 10x more enjoyable and yk its bad when you find brain rot to be more enjoyable but going back to Megamind, I wanted more from her character and I think one thing that made it very hard for us to like this book would be her monologue because there was this quote at the beginning in her first chapter and me and Roxy laughed for 5 minutes straight given how bad it was. She needed to stand up. It's very hard to read a book when their main characters are doormats. Also in the covers shes a dancer but she barely did anything related to that in this book?? we should've gotten smthing considering how awkward the pose on the cover is.
The mates? it was a shame to read about the wasted potential becuase these ten men were so blahhh like where the spark?? where was the chemistry?? where was the tension?? I was so sad :( There was one thing that I wanted to try and it was to name all 10 men, lets see how many I can remember- There was theodore, Killian, I wanna say watson but im not sure. How am I supposed to like or feel something for ten men when I barely remember all of them. I feel like it would've been better if a few of them came in the later books or if we were given some time and I dont know how its gonna work with all 10 with a slow burn because barely any of them got to spend some time with her. It was mostly Theodore and Killian that was with her there was one more but my dory memory can't remember.
The romance was definitely messy!! It could have been dealt with in such a better way but it wass not and I who is a sucker for slow burn think that this should not have been one it made the story very boring and honestly I dont know how i'll feel about the killian conflict but the ten mates being revealed at the very end was so meh. I definitely wasnt a fan of the romance because I only got to know two guys iut of then ten (barely) and out of those ten I can only somewhat recall 3 more and the remaining 10 were completely lost on me. So yeah not the best way to start, I still stand by introducing the 4 or 5 mates in the next books or at least give us a list to remember them.
The plot said bye bye after chapter 1 and the world building had me cringing so bad with terms like sigma and beta and alpha being thrown around. I think this is how I would feel if I went to high school now but yeah no this was very hard to get used to and I did but it was after a very long time and I hated it but I think it should be better during book 2 because I have an idea on what to base my expectations on. The world building wasnt that good tbh.
The only enjoyment that I got from this book was by reading it with Roxy despite her abandoning it midway but the updates and the hating was so fun!! I dont know when or if we'll buddy read this series ever again because we were lowkey traumatized with how bad it was.

I've been waiting to read this however now I am so mad that I did. It was actually so good and I'm really impressed with how the author handles so many characters yet none of them seem like a copy of another.

Whew! That was so good! I do love a good Academia setting.
This one has just a touch of fantasy. Omegaverse, but just humans. No werewolves.
I was hooked from the get go.
The book follows Isobel, 17 years old, as she enters Ironside, a School of Arts/Reality TV set for the Gifted, a group of people who have special abilities. Isobel is the only Sigma there, or ever really and is only attending because her father made her.
There is intrigue, bullying, secrets, mortal enemies... and 10 hot Alphas.
I'm diving straight into the second one. I can't wait to read what's in store for Isobel.
