Bad Alpha by Kathryn Moon

3.5

I really, really wanted to like this, and I did; but for some reason, I felt like there was something off the whole time. This was my first omegaverse book that wasn't a fanfiction (lol), so I had high hopes for it and-- while I thought the FMC was badass and hot and the MMC was super cute but also still badass, there was a constant red flag going off in the back of my head. Adam never really truly got a say in anything-- he may have initiated it in the beginning on purpose, but every decision was made without his say for a lot of the choices made, and I didn't love that. I understand that it's a fairly common trope in omegaverse stories, but it's never been one of my favorites.

About 1/3 of the way through a sort of RH dynamic became introduced, which I was not expecting at all (I should have expected it, since it's in the book description, but I just didn't read). It was actually a nice surprise, as I really enjoyed the addition of the new characters and I loved the dynamic that the five of them all had-- especially with the FMC, Eve, who is an alpha in all senses of the word, and I love her.
