Hammer & Gavel: Book 1 of The Omegaverse Case Files by C.T. Whistle

4.0

Fun and different take on omegaverse and it's a debut!

“I will love you,” he whispered, pushing his face into Oliver’s neck. “God, I will cherish you, if you’ll let me.”

Sigma/alpha pairing, and the sigma has a cute little knot!

“Is this your little knot, Reed?” Lucas said, circling his thumb and forefinger around the base of his shaft.

“Y-Yes,” Oliver moaned, face burning with equal parts embarrassment and desire.

Lucas grinned against his cheek. “It’s adorable.”



Two detectives are investigating an omega sex-trafficking ring, they do get a little frisky quickly and I was wondering how the next 400 pages were going to play out, but it played out nicely.

A couple obvious editing issues in the first chapter or two, but it smoothed out. The sigma secondary sex was interesting, he has some omega-like traits and some alpha-like traits. Sigmas are looked down on, considered inferior and unstable.

Wolf-shifters without any wolf drama, they shift and run whenever they want, and there's a fun chase scene in the woods.

I'd recommend for anyone interested in a new omegaverse spin, detectives (moderate investigative plot), it's on the cuter/lighter side despite having series topics. Lots of tea and biscuits.

Also, lots of scruffing!

Will add more later.
