I thought his backstory (searching for Z for years) was already pretty powerful. Cormia was a wash for me too. Not nearly enough spunk and personality.

The boys did rock. It was fun watching Quinn become a bad-ass. 😈

I wasn’t crazy about the ending. I just didn’t like Phury and Cormia enough to care much about what happened to them in the end.

But yeah, I’ll keep reading too. Overall, I’ve really enjoyed the series, and I’m looking forward to see where Ward goes with it next.

However, I did think Lash being the Omega’s son was a bit of a cop-out. I think it would have been much more dramatic/powerful for it to have been Quinn. That would have raised all kinds of conflict. I thought that was where she was going, and that she’d have Quinn refuse the Omega because he still had free will.

All the signs pointed to Quinn, but then she made it Lash. I think she should have dropped more clues about Lash in the previous books.

I didn’t care for Phury or Cormia. It seemed to me that Phury spent so much time getting high and pouting. Cor was eh, she seemed a bit whiny or something to me. She loved Phury, but never talked to him about it. Yada, Yada, Yada.

Now the boys, those boys rock. I loved reading about John, Blay, and Quinn. Didn’t much care for the Butch/Vischous angle though. Hopefully when the resolution is made, it won’t follow the same pattern.

The book almost redeemed itself with the ending. Phury and Cor providing a place for the other Chosen.

Hopefully the next book will be better. These books are like crack, no matter how bad they are, you just can’t seem to quit reading.
