Book Review: Alpha's Obsession by Renee Rose and Lee Savino

 

Book Description

A werewolf, an owl shifter, and a scientist walk into a bar…

Sam

I was born in a lab, fostered out to humans, then tortured in a cage. Fate allowed me to escape, and I know why.

To balance the scales of justice. Right the misdeeds of the harvesters.

Nothing matters but taking down the man who made me what I am: A monster driven by revenge, whatever the cost.

Then I meet Layne. She thinks I’m a hero.

But she doesn’t understand—If I don’t follow this darkness to its end, it will consume me.

Layne

I’ve spent my life in the lab, researching the cure for the disease that killed my mom. No late nights out, no dates, definitely no boyfriend.

Then Sam breaks into my lab, steals my research, and kidnaps me. He’s damaged. Crazy. And definitely not human.

He and his friends are on a mission to stop the company that’s been torturing shifters, and now I’m a part of it.

Sam promises to protect me. And when he touches me, I feel reborn. But he’s hellbent on revenge. He won’t give it up.

My Review

Layne is just in her lab trying to get the break through she needs when Sam breaks in and steals her research and kidnaps her. She knows she needs to get away but Sam isn't human so she isn't sure she can get away anyway. She doesn't want to leave without her research either because it could help so many people but she doesn't know where the cells that she's been working with have come from until Sam tells her about the labs holding other paranormals that are being experimented on. But he's not mad at her because she didn't know or have anything to do with any of that, she just works in the lab. 

Sam is broken ever since his time being experimented on in the labs. All he knows is that he needs to get revenge on those that had anything to do with his torture. He knows that Layne isn't involved but he takes her anyway because he feels something for her but that puts her in danger because now the people she works for thinks she's in cahoots with him and the stealing of her research. Her life is also in danger now. 

Watching these two get to know each other better and see that the preconceived ideas they had about each other were wrong was fun. Watching Sam and his friends find the person responsible and try to take him down was an action filled fun time. I really liked the secondary characters and that's one of the reasons I keep reading this series. The world building is great and each book can be read as a standalone but if you read the series from the beginning you really get to know each of these characters better and the overarching storyline will make more sense. 

I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.
