When discussing Omegaverse with a friend of mine, they said that they don't read omegaverse books because they are all about the spice and smut.
I told them that it depends on the author and the subject matter and that a smart author would take this theme to tackle a very sensitive social issue.
This book is a great example of my point.
Evelyn Flood is going to be one of my favorite RH omegaverse author. This is the second duet I've read by her and both were highly emotional.
Flood chose to discuss the heavy subject of sexual assault using the world of Alpha Omega.
there were so many social conundrums that were brilliantly presented in a 200+ book
the book opens with Kennedy, an Omega, taking the news that she is dying
the reason is because she was raped by a feral alpha, and not just any alpha, someone she knows, trusted, and was a potential mate.
his bites turned poisonous and because she was not mated, she is facing death by turning feral herself
not only that, she is being accused of murdering Brett without hearing her side of the story.
her four would-be mates were not there for her, did not believe her, and moreover, accused her of betraying them.
Kennedy is shunned by the community
Brett's mother is atrocious to her
this shows how many societies still put the blame on the victim rather on the abuser
I loved the writing style. The plot was fast-paced with many emotional instances that left me tearing up
I loved Kennedy, such a strong character who endured a lot but still faced what is left of her life.
The book ends with a big revelation and the promise of grovel from the guys.
