Candescent: A Myth of Omega Standalone by Zoey Ellis is such an awesome story that I have read. I loved reading this story very much and can not wait to see what the author writes about next. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about fantasy , romantic suspense and paranormal romances.

This is a deliciously dark read. There are parts that some readers may find to be offensive or triggers due to the plot and the relationship between Alpha males and Omega females. It’s a fairly quick read but a wonderful one.

This is a standalone in the Myth of Omega series. Even though it technically is a standalone, I would recommend reading the others first, or at least the first three stories in the series. The two main characters from that trilogy show up in this novella so it would help a reader to be familiar with who they are and their dynamic.
Candescent is a short story but does pack quite a punch. Ria and Thorec were passionately stubborn and extremely explosive together. Wow, talk about steamy! I knew going in this was a novella-length story so I knew it would be fast-paced with a quick developing relationship. However, after reading the others, I kinda missed the push-and-pull fighting and conflicting feelings the other relationships had as they developed.
If you read the full blurb, it tells you “this story includes romance of a dark nature” and it “delves into the depths of dark, consuming love”. There are scenes with questionable consent. If this is not your cup of tea don’t read it. If you enjoy the escape to dark romance, I would definitely recommend this one and the rest of the Myth of Omega series.
An enjoyable Omega short story. This interesting even paced read has a satisfying epilogue with a good ending. The characters are feisty, likable. A standalone within a series were the characters intertwined. I voluntarily read and reviewed this ARC.
Nope, Nope and more Nope
Candescent was not a book for me and I am just saying it. This is the first book I have read by Zoey Ellis but I thought I was reading a different story based on the book description and what I was expecting. I knew there would be a bit of darkness to it, as it is warned about and just from the description. However, it was way past that and not in a good way in my books. Let’s be serious here also and say that I read a lot of darker stuff but I draw the line on the supposed H raping the h. And not once for multiple times. From my POV when this plot devise is trotted out it is a weak story that the author is writing.
I am not sure if I will read another book by this author at this moment. As for me this is a total pass on this book.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
This book grabbed my interest from the start. I found the story and characters very well written. I’m looking forward to reading more by Zoey Ellis. I would recommend reading.

Absolutely fantastic! A well written emotionally deep romance. The storyline is flawless, funny, witty, enjoyable, and very interesting. The story flows smoothly and moves along at a brisk pace with a few ups and downs and a mix of emotions on every page. The chemistry between them is intense and their love scenes are beautifully written and HOT!

Thorec is a general. He knows his Omega is out there somewhere but where? Ria is roaming the lands trying to find herself with no luck. When they meet, Thorec knows that she is his Omega, but Ria doesn’t believe him and tries to escape from him all the time. Very interesting story and I really did enjoy it.
I had a great time reading this storyline it’s well written and the characters are well developed and engaging and have plenty of staying power.

A book in the A Myth of Omega Standalone series a well written story that held my interest until the end. Alpha General Thorec and Riora/Ria’s story. This is the first book by this Author that I have read, I now want to read the rest of this series. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I’m so happy to have another story from this Myth of Omega-verse! I love the Omegas in these stories! They are all straight forward and unafraid, and can’t imagine ever giving their lives over to someone else. (But, isn’t that the way.. until you do!) However, these Alpha males all seem to know their own nature and they revel in it. They also know the nature of Omegas and how they fit into their lives in such a completely complementary way, even when the Omegas do not. This story is another piece of the puzzle for the series, each one lending more understanding to the denizens of this place. And in the end, it is all redeemable through love.

I enjoyed this so much I was not only aroused but I was smiling. Loved Thorec’s alpha ways with his throwing Ria over his shoulder and Ria going toe to toe with him. Two strong characters with an undeniable connection.

Do you know where I came from?
I loved it! It is a story about an Alpha and an Omega, but it is so different from a typical alpha- omega story. Sure the alpha can get a superior attitude and the omega is smart and feisty but their treatment of each other is different from the norm. There is lots of hot sex everywhere and I mean everywhere! I recommend this book. Way to go Zoey! It’s awesome!
ONE DELIGHTFUL JOURNEY!!!
Spicy! Zoey blows through like a category 5 hurricane, ripping threats and tackling trouble, forging ahead, throwing this baby into a tailspin with an astonishing culmination. Racking up the drama, tossing the chaos and roping the shenanigans, while dodging danger as suspense soars, bringing intrigue and turmoil, wrapping it up and fusing this gem together seamlessly. Divvying out thrilling, well rounded scenario’s that punch dead center, ramping up the zeal and unbridled gusto with such intensity and precision, blasting this bad boy to life spectacularly. Stumbling through the trials and tribulations, sharp twists, sleek turns and thin lines, testing our characters in ways they could have never anticipated. The attraction and chemistry escalates as each layer is peeled back exposing an undeniable bond and amplifying affections, launching this gem to staggering heights. The characters are authentic and realistic with depth and qualities that blend into amazing personalities. The scenes and dynamics are written with such realism there’s no problem interpreting each layout as they play off one another smoothly. Remarkable job Zoey, thanks for sharing this little treasure with us.
As soon as Thorec, a Lox warrior, met Ria he knew she was his Omega. Ria was unsure because she was trying to find her past. Such an apt title for this short read as it perfectly matches their relationship. Good read!

I’m sorry I absolutely loved this story. General Thorec’s meeting with the tiny woman who was challenging him as he was removing her from mountains that she was trespassing on. It was interesting that he kept smelling something that totay turned him on. When he found out that the little challenge he has is an omega and it’s his omega. Love the give and take. All the challenges Ria through at him. I loved that he left the claiming up to Ria before Thorec claimed her. I also loved how Thorec made it his business to find out all he could about Ria’s life. The HEA was fantastic. The steamy sex was great too. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This was a great novella set in the Myth of the Omega world. Ria is an Omega who was stolen as a baby by the hidden Omegas. Now that they have come out of hiding, she is searching for her family. She is found by Thorec and he claims her as his. This was a great story and I’m looking forward to more in this world.
This is an addictive Omegaverse novella that was absolutely incredible! I loved every word of it! Alpha General Thorec finds a female trespasser, Ria, on his property and finds she’s a rare Omega, and his mate, he wants her and he’s going to keep her. Ria is feisty, strong willed, and doesn’t like to be pushed around. Ria flees from Thorec, but he chases after her bound to not let her go. I loved Thorec and Ria’s story, their chemistry was steamy, the book was well written, with an intriguing storyline, and compelling characters. A definite must read and one you need on your shelf.

Very good short novella. This was my first Omegaverse with a silver fox and talk about hot! It’s good to know the Alpha’s are still so dangerously possessive in their older age. Very steamy read. Still swooning.
Alpha General Thorec is completely taken by surprise by the young, feisty, omega female who is caught trespassing in his territory. Ria is looking for answers she won’t be intimidated by the large, demanding, and overbearing, alpha who claims she is his mate, and takes her for himself. Ria is determined to escape, and continue her mission, but Thorec will hunt her down in an effort to prove to her that they have a special connection.
Sexy, and fascinating characters. Thorec didn’t think he would ever find a mate, he is determined to keep her, and Ria doesn’t want a mater, but they eventually find happiness. Sizzling hot, and exciting read which kept me guessing, with some interesting twists. Great book.
