A journey of self discovery, a path of healing, the precious gift of second chances and finding the place you belong - all of this beautifully wrapped up in a sweet, low angst omegaverse story. A heavy part of the book is the designation dysphoria. Bee is a Beta who longs to be an omega and in reality has some omega treats. All her formative years she was criticised for not being Beta enough, for wanting to be something she isn't, for being a disappointment and the list goes on and on. So when she flees her past, her abusive ex and the cruel confines of her conservative small town, the big city is her last chance to figure out not only herself but her future.More than half of the book is an inner monologue about her insecurities, fears and designation struggles. From the very beginning of Bee's new life, she meets the members of St.Laurent pack and the attraction is startlingly strong and immediate. But her trust issues run so deep, she is projecting mixed signals all the time she interacts with Kade, James, Jae and Nate. After awhile Bee running the hot and cold game, turns a little tedious and tiresome.
So what's next is the logical question? Next is the enigma of the St. Laurent. Who are they and what are they looking for?
On the surface St. Laurent pack might look perfect, but they hide secrets of their own, a whole new level of deep turmoil that threatens to tear them apart before their inner bonds are fully developed and set in. Jae is supposed to be the heart and soul of his pack but he is silently drowning in despair because he is an Omega that doesn't feel like one and this affects badly all of the others. They haven't even bonded properly before Bee appeared into the picture. This was one of the aspects of the story that felt somehow rushed to me - it looked like Bee was a magic potion that miraculously healed all the deep cracks and trust issues into St. Laurent. As a result I felt like Jae was left on the sidelines and I really wanted to see more of the pack dynamics with him.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
