The only way to possibly come out partially sane from being trapped inside a slick factory as a “slick sleeve” for as long as you can remember is to firmly hold onto a dream. For Diana, that dream is what she’s been promised for the day she retires: her alpha to finally come claim her and to take her to a real home of her own. That dream is a flickering candle in the dark of her cell, where she spends a lot of time with her beta caretaker, Dex, whom she loves but knows he deserves more from life than to be tied to the same omega he’s been tending to for years. All of that changes the day the facility brings in a live alpha subject to trigger a larger amount of slick production and he breaks out of the facility with both Diana and Dex in tow. 

Slick is a little of a departure for Collins, as I believe this was published in serial format and then compiled and edited into a full-length novel for her new Grayverse, where the alphas will go full scorched-earth for their scent matches, the plots are darker than normal, and the spice will have you panting. 

There’s a lot to love about Slick, but I did have a couple of small complaints: I can’t stand the use of the word “gash” as a euphemism for vagina and I found some of Diana’s dialogue during the spicy scenes to feel unrealistic and contrived. Both of these things yanked me right out of the story every time they happened. What I did love was the plot itself and how it ended up turning our poor, naive omega into an accidental hot potato. When she wasn’t being taken away, she was being moved to keep from being taken away. I also loved Rowan, the male omega, who brought so much color and life to the whole story. Without him I think it would’ve fallen flat. 

I understand there will be more books in the Grayverse, and I welcome them, because this one had some top-notch kinks and that filthy talk I love so much. It was worth the read! 4⭐️
