Phaethon, the son of the mighty sun god Helios, longed to prove his worth to his father. He begged his father to let him drive the golden sun chariot across the sky for at least one day, believing that by doing so he would show his father that he was worthy of his position and family. Hélios, apprehensive, reluctantly complied with his son's request, and Phaethon took the reins of the chariot. When he went too high, the Earth froze, and when he went too low, the Earth caught fire. A large part of Africa turned into a desert and dried up the surrounding rivers, lakes and seas. The people, their skin turning brown, screamed in agony of terror. Faethón realized the chaos he had caused and tried desperately to control the chariot, but it was too late. The gods watched in horror as the world was consumed by fire and ice. Even Helios himself watched helplessly as his son's arrogance brought ruin to the land. Finally, enraged by the destruction and chaos, Zeus hurled a thunderbolt at the chariot, knocking Phaethon to the ground and sending him free-falling to his death. Phaethon's dead body fell from the sky and landed in the river below. His sisters, devastated by the loss of their beloved brother, mourned his death and their tears turned to amber. They cried so long and imploringly that they finally turned themselves into poplars bordering the river. Even Phaethon's lover, Kyknos, was turned from grief into a swan, forever swimming in the waters of the tragic end of his love. This story is elegantly told through the symbolism of a wagon wheel placed in the center of the design. The rays of the sun, shining as well as the golden reins, are held by Phaethon's own hand. The edges are decorated with poplar leaves and branches with swan feathers and amber tears. One of the last elements added to the overall composition is the thunderbolts of Zeus, which represent Phaethon's striking end. For us, Phaethón's story represents ambition and hope that we should never stop striving to push the limits of our possibilities and to want to do more in our lives. This plate is part of the Metamorphoses Collection. Shop the other styles: Adonis , Hyakintos , or Deucalion .Shipping Notes

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters.
That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception.
SPOILER:
The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured.
I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5

A good read
Format: Kindle
Multiple points of view. 3 Alpha men and an Omega male. She is a Beta in training for a new program placing betas in Alpha/Omega packs. Mila is only doing the program for the money to take care of her dad. She wasn't expecting to fall for a pack but when she sees this packs Omega she is done for. There is just something about him. His Alphas are good looking as well. Too bad she is hiding a secret and their government is acting shady. I liked it and can't wait to see where their story goes.

Slightly repetitive but I did love some things
Format: Kindle
I love this type of story. And omegaverse is one of my all time favorite genres. But there are a few things that pulled me out of my enjoyment while I was reading. It was repetitive at times as well as struggled with telling not showing. So we didn’t always feel like we were experiencing things with the main character. There were also some plot holes but they may still be answered in part 2.
Now this isn’t to be said I didn’t enjoy parts of the story. I loved the almost instant love between Mila and Oliver. And how he started changing around her.
