Sometimes, a reader needs a bit of a cozy read. Life has been really tough for me in the past 2 months, and when I saw this adorable cover peeking out among all the thrillers and tell-alls on Net Galley, I decided to request it! I just could not with another piece of yearning speculative fiction.
It may be the ridiculous piece of enjoyment that got me through that last two weeks.
This cover is adorable. I couldn't ferret out who exactly designed it, so I hope there is an actual designer behind it.
This is classic Omegaverse. If you aren't sure what that is, the linked post on reddit explains it well. I personally, can only really tolerate so much omegaverse at a time. It's an interesting concept and the fact that is started as fanfic, and evolved is super interesting to me.
Our story is one of Ivy, a dedicated teacher and omega finding her pack. One day she's lugging a fish tank around for her students, and then next she's basically being courted by 2 alphas and a very special beta male. So special, she names her beta fish after her beta male. (ok folks, that may be considered a spoiler, my huge apologies)
There is nothing entirely stressful in this novel. Ivy and her pack go through some adjustment issues, and issues with her Ex. and some jealous co-workers, but overall... it is a delightful progression of a relationship pack. I admit I was hoping for more Christmas, but this book isn't really a Christmas novel even though Christmas happens in the novel.
I especially loved that many of the characters were from different backgrounds- this enriched the story without being the main focus.
So, if you are looking for something that is VERY spicy (4+ chili peppers!) and very low stress, this is a read you'll want to pick up. Recommended with a cup of hot cocoa, and a cozy warm blanket!
Many Thanks to NetGalley, Eliana Lee, and Putnam for the advanced copy.
