This is a full ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for me!
I don't know where to start, to be honest. I loved this book so much. I am very much a fan of omegaverse in general, but an A/B/O book needs to have a certain je ne sais quoi in order for me to rate it with 5⭐ ; this book had all the right ingredients, and it was cooked (? have I taken the metaphor too far?) to perfection. Anna can write, y'all. And honestly, this book is all the more impressive for being her first of the subgenre. I'm looking forward to seeing more omegaverse from Anna.
Some Details:
Pairing: MM, Beck (Beckett) & Ollie (Oliver)
POV: 1st Person, Dual 🗣️🗣️
Tense: Past
Angst: 2.25/5 😟😟
Spice Frequency: 3/5 🔥🔥🔥
Spice Level: 3.25/5 🌶️🌶️🌶️
When the book begins, Ollie and Beck meet in a club. Their connection is electric (and that might be an almost literal statement, since they can feel a charged current when they touch). Ollie had known he was a wolf shifter omega for his whole life, but Beck? Beck didn't know that shifters still existed, which means he also thought he was fully human. As it turns out, he's now the only known alpha, and he's got the (surprise) knot to prove it! Once they finally give into their urges, biology and instinct take over, and they find themselves in a situation that changes their lives (and maybe the lives of all shifters) irrevocably.
This book is a fast burn with instant attraction and really satisfying steamy scenes. It gripped me right from the beginning, and it was one of those books where I really believed the connection between the characters. And, goodness, both characters are so lovable. Do I agree with every decision they make and reaction they have? No. But are the decisions understandable? Absolutely. Since the book was written like the characters' reactions are naturally human (I guess I'm using the term "human" loosely, lol) instead of conspicuous plot devices, I was able to stay absorbed in the story, and that made the whole reading experience all the more enjoyable.
More Random Thoughts:
- This book has a really cool concept and discussion of shifter evolution.
- God, I love a possessive/jealous MC.
- Brandi is an amazing friend and wing person. I love when books have likable female side characters. I like Sandy, too! So this book is really winning in the female-side-character category.
- This is a good introduction to omegaverse for those who haven't read it yet because it involves needing to explain shifters and A/B/O concepts to Beck. It doesn't feel like an overly obvious explanation; it's incorporated into the story seamlessly.
- Top-notch worldbuilding
- Yes. Rimming with slick. Hell yes. Slurp it all up.
- The humor in this book is on point! I mean I guess it's subjective if you'll vibe with an author's sense of humor, but I totally vibed with this!
I received an ARC from Booksprout; this is my honest opinion of the book.
