Lilacs and Leather by Thora Woods

5.0

Excuse me, did this book really call God the Sky Daddy? I pretty much died. And it was reason enough to give it 5 stars.

But in all seriousness now, this book was amazing. It was impossible to stop reading, it sucked me in completely. I loved every character and relationship. And the evil cliffhanger is going to torment me all the way to next year.

You have no idea how friking excited I got when I realized the pack of alphas had a female alpha and the protagonist was going to get involved with her. This is my first reverse harem omegaverse where the main female character has a female love interest in the pack. And I’m so hestatic!!!!

Plus, Alexandra was such an intriguing character. I can’t wait to learn more about her. She was so incredibly hot, god help me.

Lydia was one of the best female omega protagonist I’ve read so far. She was vulnerable and tender but she was also badass and sassy. I loved her funny comebacks and how fierce she could be.

Rhett and Mateo were great by themselves, but together they were amazing. Their relationship with Lydia was so well done, it was addictive.

My only complain is that some of Lydia’s flashbacks with her abusive ex were a bit too explicit, which was unnecessary. But overall, I found her backstory very relevant. From her super religious parents, to her abusive ex and how her family had taken his side. I love it when omegaverse reflects on our society issues, especially when it focuses on sexism and its direct effects on women’s lives.
