Aislinn's Reviews > Queen of Spades

“Queen of Spades” by Jillian West is another hit in West’s omegaverse world. Even more, it’s part of a larger collection featuring other authors! While I only read this story, I will definitely be keeping my eye on the rest of the world and checking out some of the other authors stories.

In “Queen of Spades”, we learn about an omega, Annika, on the run from her past. While on the run, she steps into a line of work that leads her to cross paths with many wealthy, albeit suspicious, men. This environment is only further made dangerous by the fact that she is an unbonded omega just weeks away from her next heat.

Without spoiling the rest of the story, I will say that the pack development was very interesting. Some relationships, such as Annika’s relationship with Grady, developed quite slowly, whereas her relationship with Ward, was unexpectedly quick. Overall, I would cite this book as being fast burn.

If you’re new to West, this is an excellent place to start. If you’re very familiar with her work, then you might find many similarities to this pack and some of her others. In my case, I feel like the men begin to run together, as there’s typically always an alpha male (or two) and a himbo. I’ve read every book West has put out, and this pack wasn’t anything memorable to me. Unfortunately, and perhaps this is the risk with omega verse, they all begin to run together.

Despite that, I would still recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a more grittier omegaverse!
