I read both Myth of Omega standalones, Candescent and Compulsion, in two days. They were both great, but this one is my favorite of the two. Although both about the same length, I thought Nyan and Roclan’s story was more developed and had more with interaction and build up between the two characters.
Nyan and was strong and fiercely loyal. I loved that she stuck to her guns and stood by her principles. Roclan was all alpha but he had a soft side when it came to his omega. You could tell that he genuinely cared about Nyan. It wasn’t just a I’m an alpha and your my omega so that’s why I want you kind of relationship. He wanted to see her succeed and be happy. There were some steamy times between them too. I would definitely recommend reading this one.
I’m convinced that Zoey Ellis can’t write a bad book. I was a little concerned that the character development or story would be short changed in this novella length story but no such thing. This was a full blown story of dark hunger with an unrelenting Alpha and an Omega who won’t go down easily. Grab this short quick read for another entry into the Omegaverse. This does work just fine as a standalone but you’ll be missing out if you don’t go back and get all the other books too. (I voluntarily reviewed an ARC).
What can I say?? PNR aren’t typically my cup of tea but this author did the impossible and hooked me on these books they’re so raw, gritty, and just primal I live how each Alpha and Omegas can tell who their mate is without having to go through the normal mortal dating and hoping they go it right with the Alpha and Omegas it’s just an immediate chemical reaction and the possessive nature of the Alphas wishing it was true for us mere mortals because it is beyond hot (in a non-scary abusive way) especially with Roclan my heart ached for him in Candescent when all he wanted was to find his mate and was left empty every time I just wished we got more of a glimpse of what his and Nyan’s life was like after finally finding eachother I’m so hooked on this series I can’t wait for the next book
A great novella in the Lox world! Even if you havent read any of the other stories, you will enjoy this one. It definitely works as a standalone. Roclan and Nyans “romance” is filled with super steamy alpha/omega sex. But it also has a really interesting story to back it up. Loved it!
I found this to be my new favorite besides the Myth of Omega books involving Drocco. Roclan is coming super close to unseating Drocco in my opinion. Although I love ALL of Zoey Ellis’ books, I do love the Lox the most and I found Roclan’s character and emotional development, despite this being a novella, to be more in-depth than other of the recent Alpha characters introduced by the author such as Kardos. Roclan is a somewhat bitter alpha because he has not yet found his Omega and believes that he’s being passed over for promotion because of his attitude. He finally gets a chance to prove himself, having been given an investigation to look into, by Torin. During the course of that investigation, he meets an Omega who undoes him… but she has a fiery spirit of her own. Nyan is just as strong willed as Roclan but I’m glad there wasn’t a lot of time spent with them denying their emotions for one another (beyond the primal urges that occur between them). I loved their back and forth, his wild emotions tempered by his growing sense of duty and responsibility, which shows his evolution from feeling entitled to realizing that he needs to earn the respect of his community and his Omega. And Nyan evolved as well to learning to trust Roclan despite her preconceived notions about the Lox. And the sex scenes were erotic but emotional — it wasn’t just about him being in rut and dominating her to the point that she was damaged and in pain. I truly loved this story and would love to see them appear in a story again in the future. 🙂
I received an ARC of this book (and purchased my own copy) and this is my honest review.
As further part of the ongoing Omegaverse series, I really liked this story just because it brought me into their day-to-day life a little bit more. The Commander, Roclan, is a decent man who has been sent to find out why a woman has killed a general who was ruling a Northern section of Emperor Drocco’s lands. I loved his fairness; that he was willing to give her the benefit of a doubt. The woman, Nyan, insists she did it and is willing to die for it, but Roclan feels something else is going on. And in between, they both can’t keep their hands off each other. I enjoyed the mystery behind it all – that he was willing to go down the rabbit hole and roll with the consequences. It felt like another window into this Omegaverse cracked open a bit to let me witness another day in the life of the Lox Lands.

I liked Roclan and Nyan’s story. It is a short read, but it was still satisfying. I did hope that there was more plot in the story though as I felt it read a bit flat in terms of how the storyline continued. The Alpha/Omega connection piece was just as wonderful as the other books.
Super book
Roclan is a bit aggressive and wild in the beginning but calms when he meets and realizes Nyan is his omega. You can see his transformation through the pages as he gathers information to find the truth about the crime that was committed. Nyan is a bit stubborn when Roclan begins his investigation but she is no match for her alpha’s determination to find the truth and save her life. This novella had a good storyline that kept me guessing until the very end. The epilogue satisfied my greed to know how this couple were doing in the future. A spicy romantic read!
I loved Roclan! He was all Alpha for sure and yet he really cared about his Omega.
Roclan dreams of being the best Lox warrior he can be so he is worthy of his Omega when he finds her. But his bids to become a General keep getting denied. When he confronts his commander he finds out why, but still gets an opportunity to prove himself. All he has to do is investigate another Generals murder. But the supposed killer is a female.
When he gets to the post of the previous General he tries to get answers but the female is hiding something. And when he decides to get closer he realizes that not only is she an Omega and but she is HIS Omega. Of course this throws them both into a heat and a rut! It isn’t until after that he finally starts getting answers. But each answer just makes more questions. And still doesn’t tell him what actually happened and why Nyan keeps claiming she murdered the previous General.
I liked this story it is shorter then her full length books but it is still looking enough not to feel rushed and give a great story!
Roclan seeks to prove himself in his new role as general. He reaches the island and meets Naya. Their relationship progresses quickly in a positive direction. Roclan is really good at unraveling the truth. Good book, well written.

Once again Zoey Ellis has blessed us Myth of Omega addicts with another potent dose of Alpha and Omega scrumptiousness. In this novella we meet Roclan and Nyan, an Alpha and an Omega with a delectable story. He is a warrior of the Lox Army and she is a healer Omega, formerly from the Omega Compound. Their meeting is a pleasant surprise and neither expected to find the other. Roclan has a chip on his shoulder and insists he should be advanced to General even though Commander Torin has denied his request. On a mission to prove his worthy he finds himself torn between the ideals of the Lox which is the essence of who he is, and his new found attraction for Nyan. Together they face challenges and corruption but ultimately something is uncovered that can tear them apart forever. I absolutely love the world Zoey Ellis has created in the Myth of Omega and as is her signature mark, Roclan does not disappoint as an arrogant overpowering but tender and caring Alpha and Nyan is defiance made into human form, yet submissive and loving to her Alpha when in throes of passion. I received an ARC of this book and this is my honest reviewZoey Ellis
This is the story of one of the Alphas in Droccos Lox army. I love this gruff, gentle, giant Alpha. They are my favorite. This was so sexy. I loved the cameo with Droccos beta Torin who has now become a general. I always wondered what happened after Roclan lost the challenge. He’s a younger alpha who is very hot headed. He has to find out who killed this general. He must save his omega. She resists like they always do. Please read more to see what happens. I love this world. I highly recommend this book.
