Wow, what an epic ending!!! I ate this series up like it was my first meal in days. This is the last book in the series, and I was not disappointed at all. There was a really cool story throughout all the books, but the last one truly captured so much more giving you a real look not only at the current problems, but also a glimpse into the Vrix people at the heart of the whole thing.

I was totally pleased with how much was packed into this book the action, the growth and it left a warm feeling inside. Watching the struggles and changes unfold, I felt it in my own heart. I was gripped totally gripped!

And yes, of course, there’s spice in the book three longer scenes dotted throughout but honestly, while I loved the spice, I was completely enthralled by the story itself. Book 3 is by far my favorite of the trilogy, and it just left me really wanting more.

The ending was just chef’s kiss!! Loved it. I would totally recommend this series to others with the same easygoing taste in books as I do.

Oh my gods!! I mean, I was sort of worried this wouldn’t be as good as the first but shockingly, I was totally wrong. Not only that, but now that I know the layout of the worlds and their people, I felt like I could understand more and get a better grasp on the story.

The ending had me twisted up, sobbing, screaming, and so ticked off like why?? But I know why… and it was amazing and heartbreaking. I just wanted to slap a Vrix across the face and murder another, but wow it had me on the edge of my seat, pulling at my hair, wide-eyed.

There’s spice dotted throughout the book I think about three longer spicy parts and they’re really good! It fits with the story and is just so well done. I honestly didn’t think I’d become this invested in the series, but I am so ready to run to the third book!

I am not a fan of spiders in fact, they scare the hell out of me. It's an ongoing joke in my house that I would throw a match at my house to kill a spider rather than get near one. So, I was totally unsure and a little apprehensive about reading this book at all.

That being said, going into the book was a little overwhelming at first. There was a lot of worldbuilding happening right away, and I felt a bit out of my depth with so much thrown at me at once. But I think around the 10% mark, I found my footing and from there, I was sailing.

I really enjoyed the story and the interactions between Ivy and Ketahn, and seeing this world unfold I all but ate it up. I also hated the queen with a fiery passion that had me grinding my teeth and silently wishing she'd fall into a death pit. But honestly, it all worked to make the book that much better.

There were moments I was holding my breath and groaning, and others times where It was just the MML and FML, and i was completely giddy, biting my lip, and full of hope.

I’d say the spice isn’t the main focus, but there’s a steady undercurrent of tension throughout the book. The real spice hits around the 80% mark, and while it doesn’t overwhelm the story, it’s definitely not lacking or short.

Overall, I really liked the book and would absolutely read it again. I’m planning on diving into the second book soon though I’m a little worried about what’s coming next.

Totally surprised and super pleased with this one! 🕷️ (even with the spiders... shudders)

Second-half spice: 🌶️🌶️ or maybe even 🌶️🌶️🌶️

Audiobook – listened to.

Damn!! Damn!! Let’s start with the fact that Lucy Rivers and Joe Arden did an amazing job performing this. Joe’s voice had my heart racing wow, bravo!

This book had me howling with laughter one moment from all the banter, then clutching my heart at the longing and tension. I was on the edge of my seat, completely unable to stop listening. And then… the spice. The spice doesn’t really kick in until the second half of the book, so you’d think it might feel rushed or flat but NO. Lords, no! The spice had my heart pounding, my face blushing, and my fan working overtime. Absolutely amazing.

I loved the storyline it was just so much fun and totally enjoyable. I listened non-stop all night and well into the morning until I passed out, feeling blissfully satisfied.

Book 3 of The Hunted Omegas series.
I don’t think I liked this one as much as I liked book 2. Right now, book 2 is still my favorite. I’m not really sure where to start, so here goes...

I didn’t enjoy the back-and-forth dynamic in this book it got old pretty fast and left me feeling kind of meh at times. While there was a lot happening story wise and in terms of overall plot progression, I felt like the romance in this one just left me feeling... off. Something about it felt confusing and borderline dysfunctional.

Instead of feeling excited or getting that fluttery-stomach feeling, I was left uneasy and kind of underwhelmed by the relationship aspect, which is surprising because I’ve liked all the characters across the series so far.

What I did enjoy was the action and how the story continues to grow. With each book, more pieces of the puzzle fall into place, and I love watching the characters grow and become stronger. That said, I can’t give this book more than 3 stars, mainly because I don’t think I’d ever reread it.

But I’m really glad I got through it!

Book 2 of the series, and I think I might have liked this one even more than the first. You get more of the storyline unfolding and more action taking place, whereas book one felt like it was mostly stuck in one place.

While this book follows two new characters (not the same ones from book one), you’re still actively seeing and following the original characters—just from a different point of view, which I really enjoyed.

It was a quick, easy read but with more story than the first book. There is spice in this one, but I felt like it was a little less than the first, or maybe it just seemed that way because there were more plot elements going on at the same time.

I’d say if you’re looking for a deep, emotional read, this might not be for you. But if you’re after something quick, fun, and enjoyable, this series might be just what you need.

I think I really needed this book after the last book I read tore my soul out. It was so nice to fall into a story that just wrapped me up and felt easy to read—something that hit all the right spots without too much drama or questionable choices.

The storyline in this book is pretty simple and easy to follow. Not a whole lot really happens—so if you’re looking for a deep, impactful plot, this might not be the one for you. But if you want something light and a little fluffy at times, this is definitely more your vibe. Don’t get me wrong, there is stuff happening, but nothing really gets resolved. It felt like some things were opened up and just... left open. But since it’s part of a series, I’m guessing those loose threads will get picked up later.

Honestly, I didn’t read this one for the story. I just needed a break from books that leave me broken-hearted and raging and this one thankfully left me feeling happy.

I debated whether to give it 3 or 4 stars, but I settled on 4. It was super easy to read, didn’t take long to finish, and had a good amount of spice without going over the top. The story kept me interested enough to avoid boredom. Would I read it again? Maybe. And the fact that I feel like picking up the next book makes me believe it was worth the 4 stars.
