Genre: Omegaverse Hockey

Hockey is an Alpha’s game, which is why Omega Alonso needs to keep his designation a secret—especially from fellow rookie Emmett ‘Levy’ Levine.

But when Levy goes into a pseudo rut and Alonso’s suppressants fail, Alonso has to deal with the danger of someone else knowing. Of someone else holding that power over him.
But…Levy doesn’t seem to want that leverage. All Levy wants is Alonso’s friendship—to be the future of the Gotham Hounds together.

Alonso’s never had a friend like that before. And, well, if he starts wanting a little more…that’s his own problem.
Falling in love isn’t in the cards for an Omega like Alonso—someone who will have to keep any relationship in the shadows as long as he’s playing hockey.

Levy deserves more than that. More than him. And Alonso’s just going to have to live with that.

I love the world-building in this book. The way that Marina Vivancos built her omegaverse is very cool. I don't think it's my favorite part of the book, but it's hard to tell. I could not put this book down. Levy is the cutest little golden retriever ever, and I loved reading about him wheedling his way into Alonso's little black cat life. They're perfect for each other. I also really really like that the majority of the conflict pitted Levy and Alonso against the world. Like there were some insecurities, but for the most part they were against outside forces and I loved that.
