This maybe my favorite story by Lein so far :) This story starts out with a bang and just keeps going. Something traumatic happens to Brydgett when she presents as an omega, and she runs to escape. 9 years later she has a son, and she is taking names and kicking ash. She is fierce and will take out any Alpha she sees abusing ot trying to abuse omegas. When she gets caught by an MC, her life is turned upside down. The guys do some things before they realize she’s their scent match and I really wanted to slap them. I loved that Brydgett made them work for it. She doesn’t just give them a pass because they’re scent matches. I also loved the supporting characters especially Ike, Judge, and Dillon. If you like dark omegaverse, MCs, some MMC grovel, and unhinged FMC and MMCs, definitely check this out (but also check the TWs if you have triggers)

Skye has been hiding her powers for years, but when a freak storm happens and she is seen using a second power, she is sent to an Academy to learn to control her powers. Skye is fierce in protecting those she cares about, but we also get to see her vulnerability and trauma. The guys are interesting, Aiden is the sweetest and I just wanted to hug him at times (and smack him once or twice), Rafe is a dark stalker shadow - and I really can’t wait to see more of him he’s deliciously unhinged, and Wyatt - well, I really hope he figures some epic groveling. I can’t wait to see what happens next in book 2!

We met Sasha and Levi in Shattered Omega -- Sasha is Nadia's BFF and Levi's brother is one of Nadia's men and his MC helps them. Sasha loves Levi, but worries that since she's a beta, Levi might leave when he finds his Omega. Sasha also realizes that after events in Shattered, that she might be a bit unhinged and like unaliving a little too much. When she is out living her best unaliving life, she meets Stone who is after the man she is unaliving in his pursuit of finding his sister. As Stone and Levi search the place they realize that they share a Kismet Omega, Flynn, and need to save him.
I love that we get to the vulnerable sides of each of the characters. They are all struggling to find their self and their place. But they were also fierce and protective of each other. I like that Stone and Levi were supportive, but not overwhelming alphas and that they let Sasha and Flynn set the pace. Great story!

Odette is living her best undead life. She's an escort which gives her the Os - both in pleasure and blood, plus with the bonus of getting paid. Luther is a self-acknowledged obsessive stalker, and after one night with Odette, he is fixated. When he finds out that there is more to Odette than a regular human, he is all in, wanting every piece of her. Both Odette and Luther are a bit unhinged and I loved seeing them get their HEA. Great story!

This may be my favorite book by Williams to date. I absolutely loved Savvy - she is sweet, unhinged in the most fun ways, and her lack of a filter was hilarious. The guys are great and hot, but I think one of my favorite parts with the guys is Caleb's war with Thor. If you love omegaverse, an unhinge FMC, some obsessive men with one being a taaddd unhinged himself, dark themes, and humor, then this is the book for you!

Willa is a sheltered, somewhat naive 17 year old. It’s the summer before her senior year and during a weekend of off-roading and camping she gets noticed by 4 of the popular guys in her class. She starts spending going out with one and some strange things start happening, This is the start of a series, so there are definitely some questions that are not yet answered, but I’m intrigued (and heartbroken) by the ending. I’m excited to see where this series will go.

I love Indigo and Malik. Malik is a sweet and sexy teddy bear who has felt rejected because of his size. When he’s given a wrong phone number and messages, he ends up talking with Indigo. I loved their banter and seeing their relationship progress. Indigo is great. She is unhinged and is passionate about her art and creativity (although that takes the form of serial unaliving ☠️). She knows what she wants and makes sure she gets it. This story has 🔥, fun and sexy banter, and a great relationship building.

This is a short, spicy, fun read. After finding out her boyfriend is cheating, Fairlie decides to download a monster dating app. She matches with Osric. I loved Osric - he is sweet, but hot, and falls hard for Fairlie. Then there is Osric’s sister, Ovivia. I loved that even though this is a novella, I still felt like I understood the characters and felt for their struggle. This was a short, fast-paced, steamy novella :)

Swipe Right For Orcs
Cassie Lein
My Halloween takes a turn for the worse when I discover my long-term boyfriend cheating. But instead of moping, I do what any newly single, scorned woman would—dump him, down some cheap wine, and impulsively sign up for an online dating site. There’s just one catch… it’s not just for humans. Enter Osric, a towering, muscular orc who’s as green as he is irresistible. Though skeptical at first, I can't deny our chemistry and soon find myself on a date that leads straight to pound town. But things take a surprising twist on our second date when I meet Osric’s sister, Ovivia, and sparks fly—literally. Triggered by an intense heat, Ovivia’s desires set off a chain reaction, and Osric knows there’s only one person who can quench his sister’s me. Caught between my wild attraction to Osric and the unexpected heat with Ovivia, I need to decide—could I really be a two-orc woman?

Vengeance & Sin (Vengeance City, #1)
Sara Hinds
Never stop surviving. For as long as I can remember, this has been my life. Be who they want, do what they want, and keep their attention on me. If all they see is me, the other girls are safe, making it all worth it. I would do anything to keep them from going through what I have. Over the years, I’ve changed hands and owners. I’ve lied, killed, and fought, but the goal is always the same. Shut it all down. Five of the six trafficking rings are gone now, and I’m close to achieving the goal that has kept me going for so long. But as it often does, life has other plans, and for the first time ever, I’m on the outside. I’m free. Too bad I have no idea what to do with this freedom. With nowhere to go and no idea how to take down the last ring from the outside, I find myself going home with the police chief's wife. There I find Roderick, Spencer, and Zander, the same three who pulled me from the pit two nights ago. Apparently, Vengeance runs this city, and it just so happens we have a common goal. The more we work together, the more I see what a future of freedom could be, and the harder it is to keep that goal a priority. Not just for me but for them. But I’ve worked too hard to give up, and if I have to go back to shut it down, I will. And nobody and nothing can stop me. Vengeance & Sin is a full-length new adult romance. It is book 1 of 3 in the Vengeance City Series and does end on a minor cliffhanger. This is a slow to medium burn, why choose romance with some darker elements that readers should be aware of such as graphic violence, mature adult themes and topics of mental health.

Betrayal & Deception (Vengeance City #2)
Sara Hinds
Sin used to run this city until Vengeance ran them out. Too bad they didn’t get them all. Like a parasite, they linger, and while they’re still here, nobody is safe. Freedom means nothing if I’m constantly watching not only my back but the backs of the people I care about. And with every day that passes, that list of people grows, no matter how hard I try to fight against it. There’s only one sure way to get rid of them, and while I’m open to other ideas, I know what I’ll have to do. The guys want to keep me safe, but this is bigger than me, and I won’t let others suffer when I can put an end to this. But everything is not what it seems, and as I make friends, we find new enemies, and old nightmares come back to haunt us all. Being free was everything I never knew I wanted, but when one of the most important people in my life is threatened, there's not a damn thing I won’t do to keep her safe. Can I make it out this time? And if I do, will there be anything left for me to go back to, or will other's betrayals be the downfall of us all? Betrayal & Deception is a full-length new adult romance. It is book 2 of 3 in the Vengeance City Series and does end on a cliffhanger. This is a slow to medium burn, why choose romance with some darker elements that readers should be aware of, such as graphic violence, mature adult themes, and topics of mental health.
