Omega Trapped

The fictional world of Los Demonios is cold, harsh, cruel and unforgiving. Here every step could lead to your death if you aren't careful, cunning and strong enough to defend the corner you have carved and declared to be your own.it's a world where the mafia syndicates rule and people's lives are means to an end. Be aware that it's also based on alpha- omega nonshifter dynamic.

Nico has learned the hard way that he is part of the prey. Vulnerable,lonely, destitute and desperate omega, he is living on the streets since he was 16. The only thing that numbs the aches of his life is being high as a kite most of the time. His weakness is what's going to be the beginning of even bigger nightmare and he falls in the clutches of El Supremo. After a heat goes wrong, his situation turns from bad to worse.

Valentino is part of the opposite world - he is a mafia boss's heir and is bred, born, raised and groomed to step in his father's shoes and continue his work. It's a dark world where the blood bonds are valued and matter but people are still pawns in the grander scheme of the game of dominance and influence.

Valentino's and Nico's worlds would have never been in one orbit and least of all collided if a dire need hasn't interfered and put them on the path of destruction.

This is not a beautiful love story or a classic romance. It's not even a romance for me. The unhealthy relationship between Nico and Valentino started as a heavily influenced dubious consent business deal with both of them pursuing their own goals. For Nico - this is the money needed to terminate his unwanted pregnancy, for Valentino - a marriage needed to keep and cement his position as a leader of The Black Knives syndicate after his father's death.

What wasn't believable for me in this intriguing and well written story, was that Nico and Valentino fell in love in the span of 2 weeks when even the bruises haven't had the chance to be healed and fade from Nico's body.

Nico was brutally coerced, bullied and forced into Valentino's world. He learns fast that everyone's position in it is based on their assets and what they can put on the table for negotiations.

When El Supremo emerged in his new life a second time, it was incredible shock to his system and turned the game of survival even deadlier.

The second not very logical to me part was that after all the suffering and everything he endured to find a way to terminate his pregnancy, Nico's decision was surprising.

But despite some not logical inconsistencies, I enjoyed all the twists in this story and its raw intensity kept me captivated and interested ‘till the end.

Be aware of that there are a lot of triggers - humiliation, bulling, torture, dubious consent, murder, discussions of abortion. If this is your jam, dive in without hesitation.
