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 plot at the end fell apart. Little to no character development…though I do like the writing

It didn’t make sense that they’re upset over him using an alpha bark on her to make her comply. She couldn’t consent high on pheromones, just as those strung out on drugs can’t consent. He respected her wishes and didn’t take advantage of her lack of lucidity. He had to do something to make her stop struggling against him.

It’s ok

I did buy the next book cause I need to know what happens so I mean, I guess it’s good enough to listen to the second book to get the ending of the story but I will say the four guys in it like I just don’t understand why the author wrote them so ridiculous. They are kind of ridiculous. I mean there they treat her without even knowing how they’re treating her like they have no common sense at all I mean even in dark mafia romances when the guy guys are being so brutal I mean, at least they have like a conscience but these guys like I don’t know maybe they’re gonna get better in the next book. That’s what I’m hoping.

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.

Female Lead is a B***h

I thought this book was ok. The female Lead needs to realize she is to blame as well. How can she say no demand something then when it's done becomes hateful and says the pack doesn't care about her. Is she so into herself that she couldn't read between the lines and realize something was going on that was out of their control? I just can't stand females like this!

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!

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ so much pain. So much emotions. I really like the book. Obviously there’s no spice. But I really liked it and I’m gonna read the next one.

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.
