Feral - Obsession: A Dark Mate-Claim Romance

DELICIOUSLY NAUGHTY & OH SO GOOD!!! *Book 1 of Serial, Novella, Not a Standalone, Cliffhanger Ahead Okay, I'll be the first to admit that Omegaverse Fiction is one of my favorite guilty pleasures, and no one does it better than Nora Ash! Without a doubt, Ash pens the most deliciously naughty Omegaverse Fiction EVER and her latest sinfully sexy release Obsession, the first installment in her brand spanking new Feral serial, is no exception. Ash grabbed me in the first chapter and kept me on the edge of my seat with a death-grip on my ereader while my heart fluttered wildly in my chest! Heavens to Betsy, by the time I got to the last page, I was sweating bullets and struggling for my next breath. No one writes dark, erotic Omegaverse romance quite like Nora Ash. But be forewarned, Omegaverse Fiction is not for the meek of heart! For folks unfamiliar with the term, Omegaverse is a subgenre of fan fiction in which canine-type characteristics are given to human characters, including alpha/beta/omega designations, strong themes of dominance, submission, possession, and usually contains knotting, marking, & biting during sex. Typically, it also includes the strong use of 'soul mates' with the concept of sex or mating as a biological imperative for both males and females. It varies greatly with each author, but I've always found Ash's work in this particular fandom to be fascinating as well as titillating. I guess you can tell I really like Ash's work; now let me tell you why! Obsession is a dark, gritty, imaginative, riveting, seductive, fast-paced, well-crafted, easy-to-follow erotic romance with strong Omegaverse elements. The narrative is beautifully written with a first-person perspective from the female protagonist, bioanalyst research scientist Lillian Dorne. The dialogue is smart, snappy, gritty, well-executed, and flows effortlessly. But the piece de resistance of every Ash story is her cast of always unique and intriguing characters. One of the things I love most about Ash's writing is her ability to create harsh, gruff, growly, possessive, and unapologetically bad to the bone heroes/antiheroes, blessed (or cursed, depending on your perception) with an overabundance of attitude, testosterone, and alpha pheromones, yet still somehow make them sexy, engaging, irresistible, and endearing. Ash's Omegaverse stories are very much character driven, which brings me to the lovely, hardworking research bioanalyst Lillian Dorne and former Navy Seal known only as Test Subject 351. I was immediately drawn into the story by these two characters. It's often difficult to get a good grasp on a story after only one installment, but it's obvious there's a special connection between the kindhearted Lillian and imprisoned feral test subject alpha. The intelligent, ambitious, but somewhat naive Lillian had no idea what she was getting into when she accepted a job working for her mentor and idol, Dr. Simon Axell, as a bioanalyst on a government-sanctioned biodefense project. Dr. Axell was an alpha himself, but he was also a respected, world-renowned scientist who'd conquered his primitive urges for the good of mankind - or so she thought. Unfortunately, Lillian was soon to receive a rude awakening about the not so good Dr. Axell and SilverCorp. Sigh... I just love when an unlikely heroine finds her courage and decides to champion the long-suffering hero or antihero as the case may be. We don't really know yet, but hopefully we'll find out more about test subject 351 in the next book. Will Lillian be able to save alpha test subject 351 and expose the truth of the heartbreaking atrocities perpetrated by the immoral Dr. Axell and SilverCorps? Or will her selfless act of conscience cost her everything? We'll see! Did I like this book? No, I LOVED it! Would I recommend it? You bet,but only for adult readers. It does include violence and explicit sex, some with dubious consent. If you enjoy romance with elements of BDSM, you'll probably love this story, but these Alphas are not shifters or aliens, and be forewarned, it's dark, dirty, & hot, hot,

FERAL-OBSESSION -IS SOUL-STIRRING & CAPTURES YOUR IMAGINATION; inside; spine-chilling action, danger, suspense, heart-rendering moments, monstrous deeds, vivid dynamic scene descriptions, and intense fiery passion. Lillian Dorne an intelligent Bioanalyst is overly excited about working with Dr. Axel her mentor and longtime idol. The work Dr. Axel and other scientists are doing is top secret at SilverCorp. Specimen 351 is an ex-Navy seal who is not only easy on the eyes but extremely powerful. Lillian certainly did not expect to see human alpha males in cells in her position and is horrified at the sight. Finding out all the abusive things that are being done at her job makes her furious as well as scared. This story does end on a cliffhanger but the ending will certainly WOW you. FASCINATING! The characters are engaging and the story is dark with plenty of drama; a true page-turner. I was hooked from the start and look forward to the next part of this enthralling series. I found this to be a most gratifying read and of my own volition without stipulations, I reviewed this book through Booksprout. Without reservations, I recommend this read.

Wildling This was an interesting book. The so called educated ones didn't believe in a woman's worth or abilities and that made for some very unusual happenings and cruel, vicious behavior. The outcome of the Feral beings were at these peoples hands and it was brutal. The story stops suddenly and you are left wanting more. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
