Candescent: A Myth of Omega Standalone

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. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book

I'm so happy and excited that we get another book set in the MoO world! I have absolutely loved this whole series, and this addition did not disappoint me! Even though I really enjoyed how the other books in this series were grouped in trilogies, there is just something to be said about how satisfying it is to know you will get that HEA at the end of a book (instead of waiting for it at the end of the 3rd book). Even though Thorec and Ria's story was a standalone novella, it still brought the HEAT!!! Man! Does Zoey Ellis know how to make her readers sweat and swoon! I will always never hesitate on reading one of her books! *I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review*

I absolutely love this series! Each Alpha and omega storyline leads to another world full of twists and turns. This one is no different. A young Omega searching for her own answers. A mature alpha who worked so hard for the Lox most of his life that is having to face some particularly unsatisfying personal facts. Thrown together and changes in their lives abound! Can't wait for the next one! I rec'd this book as an arc and I'm offering my own personal opinion.
