Blurb: One is accused. One is betrayed. One is a killer.

Midwife-apprentice, Kyle’s sheltered world is shattered when a patient’s mate flies into a murderous rage and attacks him. Kyle is rescued by a handsome alpha visitor, but as attraction blazes between the two men, and they fall into each other’s dreams, what starts as lust becomes something impossible. Kyle is a beta. He can’t be an alpha’s true mate. And yet, what else explains their connection?

Pine Creek Lake alpha, Shadow isn’t looking for his true mate when he stumbles across a beta being attacked in the middle of the night. But when a simple rescue reveals a chain of possible murders, Shadow must learn the truth about the man in his dreams before it’s too late. Something is driving alphas in the Blackcreek pack to rage and die young. Is Kyle as ignorant as he pretends, or is he hiding a dangerous secret?

As Kyle and Shadow work together to discover the truth, both men are forced to question their deepest assumptions about themselves and each other. Are they fated mates? Is Kyle living a lie? And when the truth is revealed, will Kyle have the courage to face it before Shadow suffers the same death as the others?

Review: Whilst Omega Shadow is part of the Pine Creek Lake Den series, it follows life in the Blackcreek pack as they try to fix the wounds and traditions inflicted upon them by their previous Alpha Leaders. This story follows a visiting alpha, Shadow, of the Pine Creek pack as he discovers his true mate in a Blackcreek beta, Kyle. Despite some obvious plot twists, this was a thoroughly enjoyable book that has me wanting more in this series.

Kyle is a sweetheart who loves his grandmother dearly as well as the job he’s learning from her—midwifery. I simply loved to see this guy on the page as he stood up straight with a backbone whilst also being very sweet and kind to all those around him. He possibly let his grandmother dictate a bit too much of his actions, though it came from a place of love and respect for how she rescued him as a baby. The sparks that fly between him and Shadow are amazing, and I loved watching them wait and get to know each other before mating.

Shadow is a sound, steadfast guy who knows how to let go and have some fun. It was great to see such a serious character be able to let loose without being forced to, as can happen. His respect for Kyle and Kyle’s grandmother is wonderful and heart-warming. The growing relationship built on this respect is fantastic to see as they investigate suspicious deaths in the Blackcreek pack.

The added plot of murder and intrigue added a great layer onto this story, as we explored the wrongs done by the previous leaders and allowed some great tension and obstacles into the story and romance of the main characters. Another series that will be on my watchlist.
