This has been on my TBR for a while and I'm glad I finally got around to it.  It has some darker elements, but I really enjoyed the openness and real conversations the characters had. Not to mention how the relationships develop. Fair warning, it ends on a cliffhanger.

Will I be jumping into the next book? Yes, definitely.

Devoured this! This is the first Omegaverse novel I've read but as a former kid with no internet restrictions this, of course, isn't my first foray into the Omegaverse world.

The pack dynamics in this are so well developed and you can tell that the author really went beyond "yeah alphas and omegas fuck a lot" and put effort into making this a believable world with laws and customs surrounding A/B/O.

At first, I found Lydia to be a bit too much of a Mary Sue but she really grew on me throughout the book and I loved seeing her different relationships with all the pack members develop.

The angst is deep with this one and I'm sure we'll get a lot of drama in the future and I'm here for it! I wish more RH/poly novels were series instead of standalones, as we can get so much more individuality in their relationships that way. Personally, I'm just here for more Lex content 😉
