Pack Choice by Hannah Haze

This was a great spin on the omega looking for a pack trope. I also loved seeing Molly interact with the characters from Pack Rivals. This is my new favorite Hannah Haze book for sure! I loved this omega and her spicy spirit! She definitely has the personality to match her scent. The guys were great too.
The narrators are fun. I’m so glad they did this in duet narration. It really added to the experience for this one 😍

I absolutely loved this book! It was even better than Dating Dr. Dil. The characters were excellent and I was hooked from the very beginning. The aunties make me laugh. They remind me of my own aunties (although mine are Irish). Everything in this book was so relatable, but the Desi and Punjabi culture enriches everything so much.
The spice was definitely spicy in this book! I wasn’t expecting k!nk in this book since it’s a rom com. The light b0ndag3 was perfect for the characters relationship. The scenes were done so well and flowed with the overall story.
The audiobook narration was perfect. Soneela Nankani and Vikas Adam made all the characters feel real 😍

I spent the first 2/3 of the book not getting the hype. It’s a lot of world and relationship building which isn’t surprising for a long series. I kept going since that’s not uncommon and I’m so glad I did. The last 1/3 of the book was great and I’m ready to start book 2.

I wasn’t sure about this series at first. This book has definitely changed my mind. I really enjoyed how things have developed by the end of this book. I’m very curious to learn more and see what happens next. I’ve already started book 3 ☺️
The audiobook narration is excellent! Kasi’s Hollowell does a great job bringing out the stress and stain that Ollie is experiencing.

This book is very good but very heavy. If you love thrillers you definitely should read it.
My thoughts:
1. The audiobook narrator was perfect for the characters. He did a great job.
2. I feel like there is something left unsatisfied with this book, but I think it’s supposed to feel like that though. It’s got a sense of melancholy to the ending.
3. This isn’t a book where you’ll guess who did it. You find out along with the MC which I kind of liked.
4. The commentary on race and religion is excellent.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 50%.

I wanted to like this book so much. I love the concept but the execution was awful. Everything is very rushed. The MC’s are only in a mutual dislike briefly before the spicy stuff starts.
Don’t get me wrong I love spicy books, but these just felt super cringey. Spicy scenes are all well and good but the emotional connection between those scenes to make everything work together. This book didn’t have that and combined with the awkward writing in the spicy scenes I couldn’t finish it.
The audiobook narrator for the MMC was awful. He was too stiff and arrogant in the portrayal of the character. It just added to the awkwardness of the book overall.

This was better than book 1. It’s a sloooow burn. I felt that the plot dragged a lot through most of the book. This duology would’ve been better to be cut down into one longer book. I think that would’ve helped the pacing a lot.

This was fine. It was just kind of boring. It took 85% of the book for something to happen. I don’t mind cliffhangers but this was just really underwhelming especially after the rave reviews.
I will say Kelsey Navarro is an excellent narrator though
