NA, LGBT, paranormal, romance

Being an omega sucks. Luca Collins should know. His pack mistreats him, his dad doesn't care about him, and bullies make his life hell.

Enter Colton Smith, the kind hearted human who befriends Luca. They share a first kiss, a first love, and plan to run away from their little Montana town and start a new life together. But fate has different plans.

While Luca is sure Colton's his mate, that belief is shaken when a group of wolf hunters attack Luca's pack -- a group Colton belongs to. Proof that humans and wolves don't mix.

Alone and brokenhearted, Luca flees town and ends up in the clutches of a sadistic alpha.

When they meet again, Colton's a wolf, and Luca is hiding in a shell, broken into a thousand different pieces from countless abuse. Can they overcome the secrets that tore them apart and find the love they once shared?

Luca is pretty much tormented young boy who has been raised to be beneath everyone. He has no friends and even though he's part of pack he's the lowest of the wolves. One day it changes when Colton tries to stop bullies in school, and then they get to know each other. They both have secrets that eventually drives them apart. There's flashbacks which are trying to explain Luca's and Colton's past as well as the present where an alpha named Ben finds Luca alone, starving and almost death, and saves him. Then there's mysterious wolf who keeps his distance while watching over Luca. Past and present collides as they have to face their origins.

A gripping, heartbreaking and fast paced story about Luca who's omega werewolf and Colton who's a human hunter of were-creatures. A story that I devoured during one day because I couldn't stop - I yearned for more, to know they'll be together and okay. All came together nicely, the plot, the character's developement and their journey through difficult times. I'm sucker for flawed, for broken and this one had it all with the promise that everything will be okay. Relationships aren't easy and even though there was all this paranormal stuff (that I adore!) making it a little bit harder, it still was a beautiful story of two boys and their love.

I don't have much to say about Break - not because it lacked anything but I have no right words for it. I devoured it fast which isn't that usual for me as I'm a little bit slow reader. Wolves, flawed and confused characters, secrets and action - for me, it was pretty much perfect summer day book.

 

4 of 5 stars.
