This book was meh. I'd round it up to a 3 if I had to.

Honestly? Not bad. I like how it explores the complexities of the omegaverse.

Boo. Boo this book. Everybody boo this book. All together now: booooo.

SPOILERS. SPOILERS EVERYWHERE.

1. The ending. The mystery's ending anyway. I called it close to the end. But the lack of justice is deeply unsatisfying. This man murdered a woman because she scorned him. That's it. That was the whole reason. The protagonist then decides that because he has contributed money to charity, he has atoned? That's it? It's ok if rich people kill others, as long as they donate to charity? Fuck this book. Timmy should've fucking run screaming to the police so the pig would have to face the world and answer for his crimes. Gee, if I reject a rich person and they murder me, I sure hope they've never contributed to charity. 

2. The dissatisfaction of finding out the murderer wanted the case solved. Boo. Boo. I wanted the surprise in his eyes when he realized that the crime had caught up to him after all.

3. The relationship. Oh my God we've had sex a bunch of times. We aren't in a relationship because there are fundamental issues at play here. We just talked about those issues, and made verbal declarations. Do you want to get married? How tf was I supposed to react to that? “Aww,” instead of “WHAT?”

Unsatisfying. Well written, as usual, but a dumpster fire.

ALEX. MY SWEET SWEET ALEX.

There is a line at the beginning of the book: “He looked like a lion tonight.” I highlighted it and noted Well. Damn. That's certainly one way to introduce a character.

Like, I'm all for enemies to lovers. But when you have a character describe another character by saying he looks like a fucking lion, how can you not expect me to SHIP?

I'm subtracting one star because I felt like the love happened too fast. Perhaps I was shipping someone else and was just absolutely bored by all the scenes with our genocidal MMC.

But the story was easy to read. The writing didn't get in the way. There was a very limited cast of not very complex characters (-0.25 for that), but it was a fun read. I enjoyed myself.

Seriously, stop looking at reviews. Go read the damn thing. It's a novella.
