'Prize' is the 2nd book in the 'Omega Prey' series by the amazing [a:L.V. Lane|19017663|L.V.

Lane|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1588976882l/53351591._SY75_.jpg|82187880] being the first one). In this book, we follow Priya, the sister of our dear Alphas in book 1.
In most of the book, we are behind the scenes of what is going on with Priya, Hawthorn, Caden and Brook. We met all of them briefly in the first book, but mostly at the very end.
Priya is an interesting character, she's quite bratty even as an adult, she's quite young at the beginning of the book, and we get a small window where we are introduced to her, as well as being able to establish a sort of first-impression with her. I found the Author to be quite good at really making me actually see Priya's young age (she's 13 in the beginning) - compared to her older adult age of 18. This is something that's always good to experience as a reader, her bratty ness, her high handedness, her fierce independence etc is all quite clear, and as a mother, I did recognize a lot haha.
We then move on to the present time and I fell in love with her Alphas. How could I not? L.V. Lane is a very skilled writer and I am finding myself not able to put the book down. From the fierceness of the battle scenes. to the erotic bedroom scenes, to the small fun parts that make you smile and giggle. It's an art form at it's truest and just as I loved the world-building in Prey, it continues in Prize.
The book does have a bit of a soft cliffhanger and we do have a 4th Alpha.... he's not there yet - but the build-up to his story and the continuation of this story is very well set. I know there will be a "Prize book 2" and I am already frothing at the mouth for its release!
This book series has a medieval feel to it that I really love, I said as such in my Prey review, and I feel we get an even greater feel for it in Prize. The Alphas are big, strong, battle-hardened and fierce - and unlike some Omegaverse, though there is spanking and punishments for our dear Omega, I didn't find anything to be non-con. There is ofc a bit of Dub-con involved, this is Omegaverse after all and this world is not at all to be mistaken for normal "humans", because they aren't. :D
The society is very different, but this is not a dark romance, not at all. I find this series to be more on the fluffy side, but with very good action scenes, extremely hot steamy sex with copious of fluids and knots. ;)
A definitive 5* from me! :D
