Candescent: A Myth of Omega Standalone

This book grabbed my interest from the start. I found the story and characters very well written. I’m looking forward to reading more by Zoey Ellis. I would recommend reading. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

As soon as Thorec, a Lox warrior, met Ria he knew she was his Omega. Ria was unsure because she was trying to find her past. Such an apt title for this short read as it perfectly matches their relationship. Good read! I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

With having read about 10 books in Zoey Ellis’s omega universe I went into the read having and idea of how the story would go. The surprise came with how enjoyable the relationship between Ria and the general envolved into. It was the same MO with omega and alpha dynamic but it was fun to see Ria make the general really work for their relationship and she purposely did it. In the end he was so freaking sweet and although it was the typical love at 1st sight with him to her rush I felt like toward the end of the book the relationship felt genuine.

I always will love me some Drocco and yasss he makes an appearance in this albeit all too brief, but Thorec comes close. I will always have a soft spot for the Lox and the worldbuilding Zoey masterfully does around them. The landscape of the various Lands within the Myth of Omega series is so vivid and fascinating. Thorec and Ria's love story is shorter than what I would've liked in that I would've liked to see more understanding on Thorec's part of Ria's struggles as Drocco did around Cailyn's as an Omega, but his strong desire to build a family of his own portrayed enough of an incentive to understand the deep love that evolved so quickly between them. I loved Ria as a character, that she was strong, crafty (in Magic as well), and gave Thorec a merry chase many times, even literally, in their story. She was more than a match for him and I actually enjoyed the fact that she genuinely enjoyed him as a partner without having first fallen into a Haze that takes her will out of it. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and it has Zoey's usually decadent eroticism. ;) Can't wait for the next installment with Roclan whom I've always felt bad for lol.
