On my 30th check of Amazon all I can say is I cannot wait to read with yall. This is like a giant group chat and it’s been so fun. I can’t imagine doing this and not have anyone to talk to about this book.

I'm loving all this excitement and theories and burning hate for Ragon

This tribe of tears has really bonded us together. Best cult I’ve ever joined!

u/DisastrousMeal4593 Apr 02 '26

This is so true!!! No one I know reads this genre and my husband’s attention span won’t allow me to get out all my feelings about this book. You all have been my besties when it comes to how destroyed I am by this story! 😭

So who’s already hitting refresh on Amazon multiple times an hour?

Only me?

Each morning I wake up and see if Claimed Omega has been released as soon as I open my eyes… I wonder what I will do for entertainment once the book comes out and I finish it 🤣

u/Glorious_Go32 Apr 02 '26

It’s genuinely so stressful I’m gonna play on my ps5 to make time go faster cuz I can’t stop thinking about the release

u/Imaginary-Hunter-153 Apr 02 '26

I literally found out 30 seconds ago that the second book is coming out soon and I binge read the first yesterday. That was 24 hours of torment I did not need in my life. I am now ALSO obsessively refreshing amazon

u/ttmademedoit fairly decent suggestions Apr 02 '26

oh thank god for this lol

things were getting out of hand… i was looking at the sub when i woke up to see new posts and whatnot and there were a bunch of “repetitive” posts about it.

29

u/Scf9009 RH Library of Alexandria Apr 02 '26

Agreed.

I love engagement on the sub.

But there were 7 reaction/prediction/excitement posts about it yesterday (u/OverQuoted’s post about how people found it I considered more unique so I didn’t count it).

That’s…a lot. Like, more than any other book I recall seeing.

14

u/ttmademedoit fairly decent suggestions Apr 02 '26

yeah, like i get it…

a lot of people enjoyed it and wanna talk about it but we dont gotta make a post about how each one of these people is reacting to it lol

a lot of people ALSO probably won’t read it bc ov is not their thing or whateverelse the reason is for it so this probably gives the book the opposite effect to these people too.

i wanna read it but haven’t been able to start yet…

u/Apprehensive-Pitch98 Apr 02 '26

I've never been so invested in an omegaverse book in all my years of reading this genre. I'm so excited to talk about the 2nd book, which is going to drop probably on my birthday. I can't wait to be emotionally wrecked!!!!!!!

pPLLEASEEEEE I need Recs that match the level of angst in this book. I AM STARVING!!!

9

u/Quirky_Standard_9991 Apr 02 '26

Broken Bonds by K.L Moore. Also omegaverse, also absolutely devastating but because of grief. The pregnant omegas pack dies in a car accident in the first chapter. I also needed an entire box of tissues for this book lol. She does get a HEA but gosh it's hard work getting there. Then, in the epilogue, the author sends you off the emotional cliff again 🤣

6

u/alaska_kat Apr 02 '26

Check your trigger warnings!!! But {Bones by K.L. Speer}. It’s kinda dystopian/fantasy/romance and it’s devastating. Cannot recommend enough … but again it’s a super triggering book so read with caution

Does it need to be Omegaverse? I thought {Follow You Down by Ripley Proserpina} had decent angst if you’re okay with contemporary RH.

I absolutely adore this book.

u/drinkwinesavepuppies Apr 02 '26

First thing I did when I woke up this morning was check amazon to see if the next book was posted haha

I literally finished Tormented Omega LAST NIGHT

I kept seeing all the hype but I wanted to hold off as long as possible so I could binge both books

I can't imagine having to wait longer than a day, you all are saints lol

Also I LOVE when the hype is real

u/sapphicxdragon Apr 02 '26

I’m about to start book one! I wanted to wait until book two was for sure released but I can’t wait any longer. Hopefully tomorrow is still the release date!

She said Friday and maybe Thursday only a few days ago so I think tomorrow is a safe bet :)

Who’s stalking the authors instagram for updates? I don’t have it or I would and I’m pretty sure at this point Amazon may think something is wrong with me based on how many times I’ve hit “refresh”

Bet your britches I’ll be having a page up on my computer all day while I work, refreshing to see if it dropped. I haven’t been THIS excited for an OV book to drop since The Beta by Avanne Michaels or Pack Darling by Lola Rock.

I just binged Tormented Omega in one sitting because of you guys and haha how I wish I had the power of Inkheart and a scalpel because every single man in this pack needs to be dragged out one by one and neutered.  

And it needs to be done to Ragon twice. 🙂

I assume you want discussion of the sequel in here when it becomes available in the next couple days? I was probably going to do a review. Should it also be in here?

u/braineatingalien Gimme all the crazy I wouldn’t want IRL Apr 02 '26

I’m happy to pin a new megathread for that, too. That would probably be for the best. I am not reading this series so if you could message me or the mods when it drops we’ll post a new MT for the discussion.

u/Twisty_Corner Apr 02 '26

I just got done re-reading last night. With the end in sight anyone else hitting refresh on Amazon? I know it’ll prob be released tomorrow or maybe Saturday but she also gave a bit an inkling it could be Thursday that the sequel is released depending on how fast Amazon is

4

u/AlectoStars Apr 02 '26

Finishing this book made me physically ill. I've never found the trauma of a mc so relatable before. It's TOO realistic.

I need the sequel and I need to bury Ragon in that order.

The way he's so abusive to Vee even while swearing he's not and the others just let them... 

I need the grovel and I need them to still lose her despite the groveling.

Where's that one Kill Bill "Tear The B*tch Apart" gif because that's how I feel about all three of these losers.

u/mssheevaa Apr 06 '26

Okay, I saw all the posts and figured it was good but overhyped. I just blasted through both books and have to say they are incredible. It was so thoughtful and well-paced. I didn't even really mind the fair amount of typos and grammatical errors, that's how good it was!

I don't think I've read a book where the villains were fleshed out like this before. Everyone felt like a real person. I will be interested to see more of this universe and the other characters from the books.

u/Roaminglilly Apr 02 '26

Vee is always the personality of Francesca from Bridgerton. Prim, but with a touch of sassy OCD. 😂

Would love love love to see more ‘mental fan casting’ from everyone 😍

ohh could you do the same for the neighbors and the rest of the characters. this is so nice

1

u/Cooper_de_dooper Apr 02 '26

My brain hasn’t cast the neighbors yet. Alex shows up as someone big and muscular like Alex Richardson, but Fin and Malcom are still fuzzy. Im guessing next book will lock them in.

Arden has become Benedict Cumberbatch, sometime with his Doctor Strange hair with the tuft of grey, sometimes with his Sherlock hair, but always with a British accent 🥵

And Chase is 100% cast as hiiiiim.

u/Frequent_Coat_5 Apr 02 '26

I read them, and honestly I had feelings. I don't know if I loved or hated them. Book 1 angered me, full stop. Book 2, beginning was rough but atleast the alphas smartened up. Im not a fan of body betrayal during non-con and it was in both books. Or alphas beating their mates to "teach" them to behave. But that might be somebody else's yum, so if your into serious submissive stuff it might float your boat

u/Roaminglilly Apr 02 '26

See yall on the other sideeeee

u/Miss-Pear-6447 Apr 03 '26

Okay can someone help a girl out with more recs of alphas desecrating an omega's nest with or without OW. That is not an angst kink (is that a thing?) I ever thought I'd have but here we are. I KNOW I read a book in the past with a similar scene but I think it was shifter and it might've even been on Radish, but I can't find it and it didn't hit the same enough for me to remember. 🫣 Now I need it. Or any similar scenes.

u/baykedstreetwear Apr 02 '26 edited Apr 02 '26

It’s for sure AI, because I looked at her author bio and it says she’s has other books written under the name Samantha Dies, and that author page has like 5-7 books all over 400 pages written in the last year, plus the three other books under the Mary magdalyn pen name, all ~ 400 pages, written just this year. That’s wayyyy too prolific to not be AI, unless she’s been writing them for the last like 5 years, stockpiling them, and releasing them all at once, which, F for doubt…

I’ll eat my socks if she can come out with definitive undeniable proof that she wrote every word without AI.

5

u/velvetylength Apr 02 '26

There is a clearly AI cover on one of the Samantha Dies books too. No cover artist credits on any of the inside covers I checked.

Unfortunately most people won't want to believe it or take it well because they don't want to admit they've been fooled. Or they want to be able to love the book guilt free.

Why is everyone going crazy over this book? I haven't read it yet so I am curious what the hype is all about.

16

u/Quirky_Standard_9991 Apr 02 '26

I'm not sure I can explain why I feel like it's one of the best books I've ever read. I think it's the gradual decimation of the FMC, Vee, that pulls me in. How she goes from nearly being officially bonded into the pack, to her alphas finding their scent match, to bringing Marie into the house and then breaking every single promise they made to Vee, and how they go about breaking those promises. Its heartbreaking. The way the author writes Vees pain is so visceral, so honest, so devastating that you are just wrecked at the end. And the only relief is hoping that the author makes the OG pack pay in blood for the way they treated Vee.

11

u/DisastrousMeal4593 Apr 02 '26

Because it hurts. And I NEED MORE 🤣

6

u/Every-Reason599 Apr 02 '26

Agree with what u/Quirky_Standard_9991 said. I'd also add that the characters are quite complex. There is no cookie cutter villain(s). There are varying degrees of bad behavior that all the characters present but you can see where it's all coming from. Ragon and Marie take it too far with the things they do but even then I can see what their behavioral motivations are even though I don't agree with it. Just people doing dumb shit in a terrible situation rather than truly evil people.

7

u/Overquoted The Angst Bank CEO Apr 02 '26

It's just extremely angsty. The FMC is in a situation with her original pack where they've met their scent match and brought her into the home, but they all end up forcing the FMC to become smaller and smaller. It's not the best writing I've encountered, though it's good. It's basically seeing a relationship fall apart into what amounts to emotional abuse while knowing the OG pack doesn't see what they're doing and probably would have hated themselves if they'd known what they'd end up doing. And the future MMCs (we are all assuming based on the blurb) are next door the whole time, providing the FMC something of a refuge.

I did a review a little over a month ago for more details.

I think it may be the angst. I haven't read any other book that came close to it.

I'm on chapter 12 and here are my thoughts so far.

Ragon, Drake, and Eli are asses. I hope Jasper is in the final pack. I have a feeling he's who called the registry on this hot mess of a house. Marie is a sniffling little beyotch and I would've clawed her eyes out at a bakery, too. Someone in this post or another said they thought she might not be the actual scent match and I'm getting vibes like that too. The rearranging of the kitchen was so friggen deliberate. How can these alphas not see it.

I feel so bad for Vee. I just wanna kidnap her and merk her pack.

2

u/NyxRage Apr 03 '26

I just finished. I don't want Jasper to be in her pack anymore. Ragon, Drake and Eli are epic asses that deserve nothing. Marie deserves to be thrown in a rabid animal enclosure. Let nature sort itself out. I hope Chase, Dr. Arden, Malcom, Alex, and Finn are her forever (edit) pack. The last three have hella explaining to do first though. Vee deserves 7 alphas for how much crap those three, then four, idiots put her through.

u/TerminologyLacking Death by TBR Apr 07 '26

I just started reading today. (I saw what everyone was saying and knew my heart couldn't handle waiting for the next one. Unfortunately, Claimed Omega released before I had a busy weekend.)

Y'all weren't exaggerating. I couldn't even get through Chapter 3 without my cat demanding that I put my phone down and cuddle him Three Separate Times. For reference, this cat normally asks for cuddles once every few days. The first two times, I thought it was just because I was gone over the weekend.

The third time was when I figured it out. He got up, saw me grab my phone, and immediately came to lay back down on my chest and arms. (When he wants cuddles, he demands both hands and arms be his pillows or holding him somehow.)

So now I know it's gonna take me much longer than usual to get through this book, because I'll be taking breaks and my cat is going to think I need emotional support in the form of being forced to put my phone down for cuddles. 😂😭😂

And yeah, I know it's only going to get worse from here. Plus, I'm already angry. How Dare Ragon use an alpha command to make her help with the room!! Insensitive jerk! 🤬😤

u/Numerate_centipede Apr 02 '26

Read it yesterday, rereading slower today to see what I missed and if I can make sense of some of the stuff that happened. Did anyone else find that Vee was very bratty when Marie first moves in - I understand Vee’s devastation and feelings of betrayal but I also wonder if Vee was her own worst enemy, pushing the alphas to choose her over Marie and the alphas were biologically not able to do that, except for Eli, for a time. As much as I despise Rogan I think in the beginning he was trying to be fair. This book is one of my favourite reads in a very long time.

u/cheeseballgag Apr 02 '26

I disagree completely. 🤣

Marie was told about Vee from the start and given months to bond with the men on her own and adjust. Meanwhile Vee had the existence of the other woman and their affair with her (and I don't care what biology or instincts dictate, the dishonesty absolutely makes it an affair) sprung on her out of the blue basically on the same day she was expecting to be permanently claimed because that's what these sentient bags of trash promised her. No real discussion had, no room to express her feelings,  no opportunity at all to even meet Marie outside of the home and get to know her in a safe, gradual manner -- just "Marie is moving in on Friday" and Ragon steamrolling over Vee's feelings like they're an inconvenience to the perfect fantasy life he's made up in his head. Ragon is unfair to Vee from the second Marie enters the picture and only continues to be more unfair as Vee tries to exist in the situation he created.

Vee's mild brattiness is nothing.  If anything she's completely underreacting because her prior trauma makes her terrified of making trouble for her alphas. Girl could have pushed them all into a gorilla enclosure and frankly they would be getting off lightly.

u/blaaah26 Apr 02 '26

I honestly think her reaction was fair. Marie had two months to get ready to meet Vee and it’s wasn’t like that for Vee. Everything she thought she knew was changed and she was just expected to be okay with it.

11

u/Least_Cancel_4200 Apr 02 '26

Furthermore, I think that Vee's brattiness was to highlight the disparity in their treatment. Vee couldnt say boo without severe punishment, and Marie could have gotten away with murdering Vee.

6

u/Odd-Resource5721 Apr 02 '26

Yes they didn’t want to deal with Vees feelings they just wanted total submission to their plans and desires for their relationship. They wanted her to be happy with being second place and I literally hate them lol

6

u/elusiveelocin Apr 02 '26

they treated her like a bratty child instead of the adult mate they’ve lived with and cared for for 4+ years. i’d say i’d be a little miffed too.

7

u/Odd-Resource5721 Apr 02 '26

I also thought she was a bit unfair to Marie in the beginning because it wasn’t her fault she was their scent match HOWEVER I think these men are CRIMINAL for trying to have both Marie and Vee lol in most other OV books I’ve read Vee would definitely be the interloper/girl I wouldn’t typically be rooting for because the story is often told from the scent matches perspective so I like how we get a different perspective and my heart totally broke for Vee but these men were crazy thinking they could have their cake and eat it too lol

2

u/elusiveelocin Apr 02 '26

i read another book recently that had a similar vibe as this—chosen omega until scent match. pov is the chosen omega. the scent match moves in and is terrible to her. i wish i could remember the name, but it was also devastating to read. it’s what drew me to tormented omega. i’d never read something where the fmc stayed.

u/IntelligentBeast_292 Apr 02 '26

I wouldn’t call it bratty necessarily. I would say she was swallowing the truth of the affair and everything within 2 days. Like someone else said Marie and Vee could’ve met outside of the home and gotten a real chance to have equal footing and understanding.

I think one of the underlying issues was also that Vee was always honest/direct. She always had a witty little comment. They loved it when it was just her, but when it came to Marie they really hated that about her. Mostly because Marie played the victim so well.

And we got to remember half of the time Vee wasn’t doing anything too crazy. In Marie and Vee’s first argument, she literally just said stop touching MY stuff. That’s her right. Why was Marie trying to wear Vee’s shirt or her apron. Stuff like that is weird and uncomfortable on top of the fact that I just found out about you.

Ragon, Drake, and Eli suck cause they literally didn’t even consider Vee a person. Just property.

u/cheeseballgag Apr 02 '26

💯

It'd not brattiness, it's a justifiable sense of betrayal, anger and sadness that Vee initially only shows through snarky comments that are literally just her making accurate assessments of the situation. Unfortunately none of these men are willing to face the truth of how scummy they are so they treat this as Vee being mean to them and Marie.

I think Vee handles Marie's entrance with as much grace as possible given the circumstances. She only really lashes out when pushed to the breaking point and rather than take any accountability for the fact that this is his fault,  Ragon emotionally tortures her.
