CAGED is part of the Classic Fairytales with a Taste of Darkness series, and this one retells Rapunzel. Aveline has been locked in the tower for years by her father, under the impression that she is dangerous and killed her mother. Malric and Thane are part of the Rebellion, fighting against Aveline's father and his tyrannical rule.

I loved Aveline's quiet determination and the way she wanted the truth after being lied to for many years. Thane was the cinnamon roll of the two MMCs, while Malric was the more guarded and yet blunt one. I will admit that Malric annoyed me to begin with, but he grew on me. I also loved the Tower and how it responded to Aveline and her two men.

This was a great retelling, set in an omegaverse that I would love to know more of. The epilogue gives the perfect ending to this story, while hopefully leaving it open for a return to this land. Definitely recommended by me.

RUE'S RAPTURE is the fifth book in the Divergent Omegaverse series, and I really do recommend you read the others first. There is a slight overlap between books, so to get the best, fully rounded picture, you need to start at the beginning.

Rue is the youngest Starling brother, and the one who holds onto his pain behind thick shields. Those shields are tested when first Monty, and then Kendrick come into his life.

Although lighthearted for the most part, this story also deals with Rue's pain. Compared to him, Monty and Kendrick are home free. I loved the way Monty and Kendrick were all in, but could recognise that no matter how much he wanted to be with them, Rue would need more time.

As always, my heart was touched by the rescued Omegas. I'm really hoping we continue to see how they're getting on in future books.

A great addition to the series, this was a story I thoroughly enjoyed and have no hesitation in recommending.

BLOOD OF THE DAMNED - THORN is the first book in the Vaughn Winery series, which takes place in the Divergent Omegaverse. I was happy to see Derick and Lane make an appearance too!

Ledger has left his ex and his old life behind in LA, moving to Bumf?ck, Nowhere for a new job at Vaughn Winery. What he doesn't expect is to meet his mate and everything that comes with it! Thorn is in town to meet his new employee, and doesn't think the omega who is his mate is one and the same, so he is ecstatic when he finds out. Together, their romance moves forward at breakneck speed, culminating in Ledger being pregnant, which raises a whole bunch of questions that they might not like the answers to.

This was a great introduction to the series, and I can't wait to see both Calvert and Dacian meet their mates. Definitely recommended by me, and I hope to see more of Thorn and Ledger in future books.

UNKNOWN OMEGA is the first book in the Alpha Elite series, set in a dystopian Omegaverse. It begins with our unit on a secret mission, which gives you an insight into their abilities and capabilities. Time moves on, and they are sent on a different mission, to a world where there are only betas. While they are there, Seeck sees the Unknown Omega of the title. They slightly interact before her world is thrown into chaos, and she ends up leaving with the unit.

I thought this was a great start to the series. I loved how Seeck wasn't interested in his lifemate, but his brothers-in-arms wouldn't let him abandon her, knowing what it would mean. I thought all of these guys were wonderful, and I can't wait to read more about each of them.

The Unknown Omega claims a name, Nova, and yep, I loved that too. She is a contrary character, but I thought it was well written, because so much has been trained into her, yet the world has changed so much.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and hope to continue with the series. Definitely recommended by me.
