Stolen

A spin off series from the Alpha’s Claim Series with appearances of the main characters dealing with the aftermath and trauma of surviving Tholos. This book has just the same twisted disturbing themes with massive triggers for those who have suffered sexual assault, in this dystopia world it’s just as horrid as Tholos. The citizens of Bernard Dome are benumbed in such a cruel heartless manner to support he lives of those who live in luxury. The female citizens of Bernard Dome are treated horrendously, being reduced to nothing but entertainment for the Alpha males when convenient and easily disposed.
Brenya has lived her life believing she is a beta and enjoying her existence in life finding it simple and fulfilling until she is savagely and brutally assaulted after an accident on her job. With Brenya’s world absolutely flipped and finding her new job taxing and difficult to adjust, with the hidden dark secrets of Bernard Dome destroying Brenya’s perception of life around her. Stubborn and willful Brenya attempts to adapt the best she can to her new life while plotting for her freedom.
Jacques is a spoiled perverted Alpha who adores his kingdom of Bernard Dome and all the abundant resources thrown his way, taking what he desires without care. Jacques is a cruel dictator, purposely withholding information vital to his stolen Omega, and scheming his way to domination while dealing with the political invasion of Greth Dome.
The supporting characters are tragic and atrocious, their appearances leaving lasting impressions, as their motives and reasoning are yet to be disclosed.

Three books into a story about two characters and the fourth picks up with two new characters you don’t care about. With only small portions of the original characters with no resolution. New characters should’ve had their own book. Very disappointed that shepherd seemed to not grieve at all or truly show any emotion at what Claire had been through in the undercroft. Even when she screamed and finally told him, he only congratulated her for speaking the words. Also wanted to see the conversation where she found out svana was dead. After the insecurity she felt for the woman even after shepherd kept the secret that he no longer trusted or cared for svana we should have seen this confrontation. He truly wish he was capable of even slight compassion and it seemed he wasn’t. I kept waiting, hoping he’d grow, that her love would affect or inspire a bit of change, and I just ended up disappointed and empty. I spent money on a book that wasted my time, I have no desire to continue this series as I see the sample shows samples of even MORE new characters yet no mention of the original. There was no ending to their story either.

I read to get lost in a story. Your writing still and use of the male or not using pronouns had me reading lines more than once to move forward. Shepard was hard but not disgusting like Jacques. Won’t be purchasing or reading last book in series. U went far but not gross. With Jacques your writing went way past dark and into ridiculous. Again I read to get lost in the story but this series just wasted my money but more importantly my time.
