Forbidden: Part One by Emilia Emerson
4.0
First Omegaverse
This was a new genre for me, I’ve never read omegaverse before. I appreciated that the author included an introduction to the basics of the world at the beginning, since I was not familiar with this genre. Check the CWs in the beginning Author’s Note before reading. I didn’t totally know what to expect, but WOW. It is much more than a “why choose” romance. The most captivating part for me is the dystopian environment/political intrigue. I absolutely was absorbed in this story. The commentary on purity culture. The trauma and abuse that Josie has survived and is still processing. The support of her friends and pack. It’s heart wrenching, but also in ways healing as Josie starts learning to take back her power and reconnect with her brave and rebellious nature.
Major cliffhanger, immediately going to Part 2 now.
