Alpha’s Sacrifice is one of these stories that I just keep coming back to – I love the world and characters that Nora Phoenix created here!
There were a lot of different dynamics between Lidon, Vieno, Palani and Enar, and I loved to see the men all get to know each other, no matter how unconventional their friendships and relationships might have been initially. The characters were all very well written and had their own distinct personalities and voices, and it was very easy to get intrigued by them and their relationships. Lidon was so sweet, and I loved to see how understanding and patient he was with Vieno. I mean, who doesn’t love an alpha that turns into a huge softy around their omega mate?
It was a steamy read, with heats and knotting, but there was also a lot of things going on plot wise. It was interesting to see what Palani started to uncover around the Melloni gene, and how it effected the omegas. The corruption and political themes built some suspense, and I’m curious to see how far things with the gene goes. I loved the depths and layers of the story, and I’m pretty sure this book barely scratched the surface of everything going on. I know from The White House Men series that Nora Phoenix is great at writing overarching plot lines full of politics and twists, so I’m very excited to see how this will all play out!
Alpha’s Sacrifice was a very strong start to the Irresistible Omegas series, full of emotions and love, but also corruption and political schemes. I’m already feeling so invested in this series and the characters, and I’d love to see more of these four men and their relationship, as the ending came right when things started to fall into place for them. A little bit of a cliffhanger (or maybe more of a teaser), but anyway, it was a very effective way to make me jump right into the second book!
