Denied

The Bonding Trials, Book 1

De: Evelyn Flood

Narrado por: Maeve York, JD Tomlinson

Sienna Michaels has been waiting for her invitation to the Bonding Trials forever.

It's her opportunity to match with an alpha pack and show off her training as an omega. When she's matched with the Cohen pack, Sienna gets a lot more than she bargained for at their Bonding ceremony.

Tristan, Jax, Logan, and Gray Cohen are Sienna's Soul Bonded fated mates. Destiny. Made for each other. Except… they don't seem that bothered. In fact, they don't want her at all. They want someone else.

Sienna has no choice but to work through the Bonding Trials and try to get to know her reluctant alphas. She needs to pass her Trials to be able to stay with the Cohen pack, and if she doesn't…

Well, she might be Denied.

So good but so hard to read/listen

Let me make this clear first, I love this book. It is so hard to read and listen too though because the story is so heartbreaking. The narrators are amazing and you can feel the pain in the characters. I think this speaks positively for both the author, who wrote the story, and the narrators bringing it to life. Sienna goes through it in this book. And it is heck of a cliffhanger ending. Luckily book 2 is out.

The torture that they mentally put her through.

Ugh I hate that I am left hanging. It is an amazing book. I love all the correctors even the bad ones. Great book though.

The truth

You will hate Sienna and her pack. You will hate everything that they do to her and that she allows them to do. Don’t be fooled by the reviews saying their hearts hurt for her. I’m WARNING you now that every single thing this author wrote isn’t omegaverse per se, but neither does it qualify as a dark omegaverse/ romance. I’d say the alleged “good intentions” of her pack is what keeps this story from being all dark. With that said, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Is the writing good? Sure, especially if you’re a fan of pulling your own hair out. Was the narration good? Yes. So much so that I want to uppercut a few characters that were voiced too well- iykyk; but I digress. Keep your Kleenex, boxing gloves and Tylenol handy.

Wow! I’m blown away!!

I had to force myself to put this book down, and i was still up way too late. The writing is phenomenal, I could see and feel it all. Narration - perfection. Great story and characters. A must read!!

How many pieces…?

How many pieces can a torn heart fall apart?
Before I continue, I need to state that the story telling was phenomenal. I was THERE. For all of it! Yelling, and crying, fists clutching at air as I cried out, “YOU DESERVE WORSE, YOU A HOLE!” and “JUST SLAP THAT BIATCH!”
Of all the Omegaverse books I’ve just recently fallen into, the knowledge of care; of attention (both physical and verbal) they require to maintain a healthy mental and emotional state…THIS just blew my mind and threw me so far into WTF ville.
I’m going straight into book 2 after this review, cause the story REALLY IS just THAT GOOD. In spite of the mean girl plots and, yes, the lack of smut was a sad surprise but is easily overlooked cause….MAN the depths of where I was taken with this beautiful omega with the strength no Alpha could match, and her soul bonded pack that better come through with some much needed tenderness and protection…I’m eager to see the soul bond in its true form.
Don’t let me down!

black mail and mean girl drama

I love the plot and mean girl aspect, wish there was more smut. If you’re looking for an xxx rated omegaverse story, this is not for you.

In tears

This book was unlike any Omega story I've listened to, it had me in tears for what this omega went through. And I am never one to listen/read completely an omega book as they become filled with too much sex and not enough story.
This book was a great listen. The narrators were fantastic. Looking forward as to how they work out this mess they put themselves in in book 2

Be prepared to cry

Never got to steamy. Depressing. Trigger warning. other than that, a decent story. Thank you.

weak fmc + crappy mmcs better equal hardcore groveling in the second book or this would only get a 2 star rating

is it too much to ask for a strong female main character who will stand up for herself?

Major cliffhanger

Oh i hate cliffhanger so much. this book has potential but for those of you who like cliffhanger good for you. I like the story line where it was going but the damn cliffhanger erks me.
