Romance Book Review: Charlene Hartnady's Omega

Author: Charlene Hartnady
Sereis Connection: Demon Chaser
ISBN: 9781496042392
Genre: Paranormal, Shifter, Action and Adventure
Publisher: Createspace

Purchase Link: Amazon | Barnes and Noble

Cole is a Demon Chaser sent on a mission to find out why humans are being killed by Demon Wolves. For no apparent reason the Demon Wolves seemed to be going against a very old treaty that has kept them from killing humans. 

When Cole and his sister Ash come upon the Demon Wolf Alpha attacking a human female, they run to her aide. Taking her as far away from the Demon Wolf as possible seems the best recourse. Cole never thought that falling in love with the innocent woman would be part of the plan.

Katy is suddenly kidnapped a local deli. She is thrown into a world she knows nothing about and she's not sure who to trust. Cole could be everything he says he is or the one out to kill her. Taking the chance in hopes of staying alive she goes along with his plans. 

While I liked the story and the world that the author is building, I found that the story was just too short to get to really see if these two would make a good couple. Attraction is one thing, but can they make it in the long haul, is quite another. 

The one good thing about this book is that purchasing it in ebook form can give you a free look at whether you like the writing style of the author and if you want to read along with the rest of the series.  

Description:
Demon Chasers…Protectors of humanity. Sworn to uphold the peace. Oath bound to keep the existence of demons a secret. 

Katy is an ordinary girl living an ordinary life…until she’s abducted and for no apparent reason. 

Demon Chaser Cole rescues Katy from the claws of the Alpha of a resident demon wolf pack. Hunted by Bain and his pack, Cole must try and find out why the werewolves are willing to risk a two hundred year long standing agreement with the Demon Chasers in order to have her. Bain is a cruel SOB who’s had run-ins with the Demon Control Agency before so whatever the reason, it’s sure to be depraved. 

The Chaser suspects that Katy is not as innocent as she seems. Cole had better unravel this mystery fast because the shifters are closing in and more importantly, the longer he’s with Katy the more impossible he finds it to resist her. Cole’s been burned before and it almost cost him his career. He’ll be damned if he lets it happen again.

Romance Book Review: Lynn Leite's Shifted series reviewed


Book #1 -- Shifted Series
Shifted
Author: Lynn Leite
ISBN: 978-1481214254
Genre: Paranormal, Shifter, Werewolf
Publisher: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform


So far this series has three short novellas with a good premise, however the love scenes are a bit cut off or short and offers a little less world building than I usually like, otherwise this series is so far good short read for those who are just looking for some quick read time. 

Rory moves in with her sister Willow after a bad breakup with her boss/boyfriend. When a stranger saves her life, Rory is sure that the feelings she has for Maverick aren't just hero worship, but what can she do when she realizes that being with her a mere human is against the rules in Maverick's werewolf community. She can't help for go to the aide of the werewolves, when one of their own is in trouble. She just has to find the nerve to see Maverick again know that she can't have him.

Description:
“Today your life will be shifted irrevocably.”

Near death, pinned by a crushing weight, Rory Brooks runs her sister Willow’s prediction through her oxygen deprived brain.
Willow was always right.

Dead is shifted alright.

Maverick Cheveyo isn’t in the habit of rescuing humans. This one is different. Without thinking of the repercussions, he saves the small woman and starts a chain of events that will risk his pack, his family, and most of all his heart.


Book #2 -- Shifted Series
Second Shift
Author: Lynn Leite
ISBN: 978-1482766110
Genre: Paranormal, Shifter, Werewolf
Publisher: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform



The second in the series is the story of Willow and Ryder. Ryder is Maverick's brother and just another in a long line of men who have rejected Willow. This time not because of her psychic powers, but because she is human. Or so Willow thinks, but can there me more to this story than she know?

I liked this story better than the first, as more of the Cheveyo family's story is revealed. 

Description:
Willow Brooks has an uncanny talent for predicting the future.

Too bad she can't see her own path.

Her sister, Rory, is now married to a werewolf. She had seen that coming long before her sister or Maverick did. What she didn't see coming was the hulking werewolf she now lived with becoming her best friend, or his missing brother becoming her obsession.

Book #3 in the Shifted Series. 
Double Shift
Author: Lynn Leite
ISBN: 978-1484179741
Genre: Paranormal, Shifter, Werewolf
Publisher: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform



In book three, Double Shift, Emory runs from the room every time either Sam or Hank come into the room. She knows that she is attracted to both men and the two men are attracted to her, but she doesn't want to come between the two men. It is best if she keeps her distance, or is it. Could it possibly be that these two sexy weres are all hers?

Meanwhile the story starts Cheveyo werewolves starts to heat up as a rogue alpha decides he doesn't like what is happening in the Cheveyo pack and wants to destroy the leaders and take the pack for himself. 

Description:

Being the only girl born to the Alpha, Emory Cheveyo is now blessed with two sisters in law to tone down her male dominated world. Rory and Willow are more like sisters to her. Like real sisters, these two seem to want to meddle in her nonexistent love life.

Emory doesn’t want a mate. 

The last thing she needs is more men telling her what to do.

So far, Emory has successfully avoided any kind of serious relationship. Evading two enforcers in particular is becoming more difficult now that they both work for her father. Sure, she's attracted to both best friends, but she’s pretty sure neither is her life mate. Why bother ruining a friendship over something that would more than likely amount to nothing? Besides she doesn’t even want a mate. Or does she?
