Compulsion: A Myth of Omega Standalone

I found this to be my new favorite besides the Myth of Omega books involving Drocco. Roclan is coming super close to unseating Drocco in my opinion. Although I love ALL of Zoey Ellis' books, I do love the Lox the most and I found Roclan's character and emotional development, despite this being a novella, to be more in-depth than other of the recent Alpha characters introduced by the author such as Kardos. Roclan is a somewhat bitter alpha because he has not yet found his Omega and believes that he's being passed over for promotion because of his attitude. He finally gets a chance to prove himself, having been given an investigation to look into, by Torin. During the course of that investigation, he meets an Omega who undoes him... but she has a fiery spirit of her own. Nyan is just as strong willed as Roclan but I'm glad there wasn't a lot of time spent with them denying their emotions for one another (beyond the primal urges that occur between them). I loved their back and forth, his wild emotions tempered by his growing sense of duty and responsibility, which shows his evolution from feeling entitled to realizing that he needs to earn the respect of his community and his Omega. And Nyan evolved as well to learning to trust Roclan despite her preconceived notions about the Lox. And the sex scenes were erotic but emotional -- it wasn't just about him being in rut and dominating her to the point that she was damaged and in pain. I truly loved this story and would love to see them appear in a story again in the future. :) I received an ARC of this book (and purchased my own copy) and this is my honest review.

I'm convinced that Zoey Ellis can't write a bad book. I was a little concerned that the character development or story would be short changed in this novella length story but no such thing. This was a full blown story of dark hunger with an unrelenting Alpha and an Omega who won't go down easily. Grab this short quick read for another entry into the Omegaverse. This does work just fine as a standalone but you'll be missing out if you don't go back and get all the other books too. (I voluntarily reviewed an ARC).

There aren't a lot of Omegaverse stories that I've read but I seem to keep coming back to Zoey Ellis' versions. They're compelling and intriguing. This one sucked me in until the end. It's steamy with a great story that had me unable to put it down. The push and pull between Nyan and Roclan was amazing and their chemistry was sizzling. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
