Review: Pack Darling Part One by Lola Rock
SYNOPSIS:
After surviving childhood at the snooty, stuck-up boarding school for budding omegas, I have everyone convinced I’m a dud.
My awakening? Never gonna happen. Heat, mates, and a fairytale pack life? Maybe next reincarnation.
All I want is to be left alone.
I’m invisible, headed to a blissful solo future until the Wyvern Pack destroys my dream of independence.
Atlas, Hunter, Finn, Jett, and Orion are poison candy. They don’t want an omega, but they need one, even if there’ll never be a real spot for me in their pack.
Who needs a pack? I’ll keep myself safe, same as always.
I’ll never awaken, and I’ll never ever give the Wyverns my heart… Because all they’ll do is rip me apart.
REVIEW:
This book was intense, emotions are high, deceit and lies are rampant, and the cliffhanger ending should be illegal. I really enjoyed this introduction to the Lilah and Wyvern pack. This story had me captivated; with plenty of mysteries that I wanted to solve.
I think I need to start with how much I enjoyed the characters. Lilah was a strong, stubborn woman and while her flight instincts are high, I enjoyed her character arc. Orion might possibly be my favorite of the bunch, raised and alpha but ended up an omega is a storyline I haven’t come across yet in omegaverse romance novels. Then there are Finn and Jett who are so beautifully unhinged, you can’t help but adore their special brand of crazy. Atlas is the alpha who is actually terrible at being an alpha, the man can’t read the room or his pack. Which finally brings me to the steadfast, constant, quiet strength of Hunter. These men together were undeniable, I was captivated.
There early interactions with Lilah were abrasive. I liked how the Wyvern pack and Lilah danced around each other, the prickly wariness bled into tensions and attraction. There were also numerous secondary characters that added to the intriguing mysteries surrounding Lilah and the Wyvern pack. Why was Lilah treated the way she was? What happened to Jett? Why is the Wyvern pack so fractured? Why are the parents so meddlesome?
The questions just kept piling up which brings me to the brutal ending. It was totally over the top and completely unnecessary. At what point do you reach where a character has been through enough? Sacrificed enough? By the end of the book, there were just so many loose ends hanging about that I wasn’t sure how things were possibly going to be wrapped up in the next book.
