BOOK REVIEW for "Omegas in Love (Vanguards, #4)" by Annie Nicholas


Omegas in Love
(Vanguards, #4)
by Annie Nicholas

SUMMARY:

We return to Chicago where the Vanguard pack makes its home.
Where Tyler and Katrina, omegas of the pack, are in love.
And Tyler finally gains the courage to pop the question...

But Katrina's past has caught up to her.
Chen, her old alpha, has found her and steals her from Tyler's grip.
Then claims she is his mate.

What is an omega to do against an alpha?
Run and hide?
Not this omega, not when the love of his life is at stake.
 

REVIEW:

***(3) out of 5 Stars!

This episode of the Vanguards' story starts out a bit different than the others.  For one thing, Tyler and Katrina already know their mate.  In fact, they're been together (in one capacity or another) for a couple of years now.  And Tyler is just about to ask Katrina to marry him even.  Unfortunately, her past chooses that precise moment to come barreling back into her life.  And it is not a pretty or welcome past either.  

This book is so far probably my least favorite of the series.  The main adversary here is so loathsome and depraved.  And there is so much trauma that occurs to the main characters that we have come to love.  It is just hard to watch.  Although I must say that when some butt-kicking happens near the end of the story, it is immensely satisfying.

Be smart.  They'd beat the snot out of him if he got caught.  He hadn't any delusions of grandeur.  He wasn't a warrior...  He didn't have much in the muscle department, but he did have brains.  Most of the time.
Katrina needed him.  As her mate, her safety was his responsibility and he'd failed.  Kicking down a door like his beast wanted wouldn't save her.  He needed to sneak her out...

Wimp versus warrior - he didn't need to be a genius to guess the end results...
Not wasting any time, Tyler did what any smart dude would do in his position.
Run.

Things move along incrementally in regards to the overarching plot involving Daedalus and the enemies he is facing.  But, understandably, the focus is much more on retreiving Katrina and tending to their injured; there isn't room for much else.  

At least Tyler and Katrina are eventually reunited and able to continue along the path of their happily-ever-after.  And their love bond is even brighter for what they've had to overcome in order to achieve it.  But it's truly sad and rather depressing to watch them struggle along the way, especially the times when they doubt themselves and each other.  

I sure hope the next volume of the series has a more upbeat mood and a more positive outlook for our off little family of paranormal friends here.     

I received a free eBook copy of this title from the author, 
and have willingly provided an honest review.
