A Savage Debt

Recibí una copia de este libro (ARC) por mi honesta reseña. Esta historia es nueva destrozada del universo Alfas/omegas creando por Zoey Ellis, está desarrollada de cierta manera aunque no se establece claramente en el mismo mundo que conocimos en la serie “Mitos de Omegas” también de Zoey Ellis, en un momento posterior. Los personajes principales son Maddoc, un Alfa forajido, asaltante, violador y asesino y Anna una Omega, princesa y futura heredera del reino. El argumento del libro se basa en la situación que lleva a Anna a pasar 3 noches con Maddoc unas semanas antes de su cumpleaños 22. Durante la trama te das cuenta que quizás no es el villano que están pintando y que quizás Anna ha vivido toda su vida engañada y protegida. La historia está bien escrita, no es compleja de leer, gramaticalmente no es difícil de leer aunque no seamos angloparlantes. Tiene un buen desarrollo y aunque el final deja suspenso que sabes será revelado en el siguiente libro no es molesto y solo hace que esperes el siguiente. Es un libro con temas de adultos para adultos, contiene escenas de seco explícitas por lo que solo se recomienda para mayores de 18 años.

This is a lighter read when compared to Myth of Omega, a fairytale type of omegaverse story that takes place in the kingdom of Allandia, the FMC (Ana) being the Omega Princess and the MMC (Maddoc) is- allegedly - the big bad Alpha villain. Ana is a sheltered, naive young princess, her world is within the castle walls and her world has been carefully controlled by ther parents in order to prepare her to be the perfect little omega princess. We're told that Omegas are born exclusively to the royal family and their marriage is arranged to procure them their perfect mate and also to ensure that the royal line is protected. So Maddoc becomes a huge threat when he goes to the palace demanding to be rewarded with The Royal Promise; Maddoc has had a reputation for being an evil outlaw responsible for pillaging, raping and killing for over 20 years, an Alpha capable of unspeakable atrocities demands now to spend three nights with the princess, meaning truly that he asks for her virginity. Most of the story is told through Ana's POV, so we only see things from her perspective; since her beliefs are restricted by what she's been taught all her life, through Maddoc she starts to question everything and everyone around her. Maddoc is a character shrouded in mistery, underestimated by the royals but clearly a cunning adversary. He hints at all the lies involving himself, the court, the kingdom, and ultimately omegas/alphas relationships (there's even mention of The Lox Empire from Myth of Omega); what seemed a simple world at the beginning is starting to unravel as a huge cover-up. There is smut in this book, but it was not the main event to the story but an integral part of it. There is chemistry between the main characters but the sex was not as hot as I expected, perhaps because it's so sudden and they barely know each other. The ending in a cliffhanger left me needing to know the rest of their story, the plot and characters are evolving in a very clever way, Zoey Ellis always writes smart and complex plots. I am so looking forward to reading the second book! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
