๐ŸŒŸ ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜„: I read Eliana Leeโ€™s A Pack for Winter and really enjoyed it, and with all the hype around this duet I thought Iโ€™d pick it up. It just really wasnโ€™t my thing.

Juno has six in her pack, and the way the story jumped around from coupling to coupling was confusing and didnโ€™t let me form feelings for anyone. It was only 300 pages long, and by the end of part one I was spent. I almost always love omegaverse, and definitely rarely donโ€™t finish a DNF, but I have no attachments here and wonโ€™t continue.

I think writers get better as they hone their craft, so Iโ€™m definitely eyeing sticking to Eliana Leeโ€™s newer releases.
