Ellie is an Omega without a pack, struggling through her heats with suppressants, while trying to find a pack of her own. After being harshly dismissed from the pack she wished to join she has some confidence issues. But while she matches with Alphas on the Compatibility app, they always end up ghosting her. Weird. She finds comfort in her friend and neighbour Mal, a Beta who takes care of her and is obviously smitten with her. Soon she finds herself caught up with a masked stalker alpha, who drugs her so she won't recall his "helping" her through her heats. She only remembers this when he leaves a polaroid and a letter, as well as a chastity belt locked tight. Cue a delightfully devious series of games, edging and dominance. Be prepared to not like this Alpha at times, he steps over the line so many times, but the twists keep coming. I'm not opposed to a totally unhinged book boyfriend so this was quite entertaining. The trigger warnings list is basically a chapter of its own, there are so many. Honestly not too out of the ordinary for a dark romance omegaverse but check it just in case. This is my first read from Mae Celeste and I quite enjoyed it, I'll definitely be looking for more from this author.
