The Alpha Solution
on Aug. 12, 2020
This book is part of N.J. Lysk's wolf shifter omegaverse.
Just as the description claims - this is not a romance.
This book is about a possessive and determined alpha who is obsessed with making the alpha he kidnapped, the victim of this story, into something else. Something that nobody truly believes is possible.
The forced and harsh treatment is quickly established in disturbing descriptions that build up over time.
Alongside the physical and mental abuse the thing I liked best is how the author depicted the gradual breaking of the kidnapped victim's mind. How he loses the struggle overtime.
At his lowest point he is turned into the one thing his kidnapper craves and nobody thought possible.
At that point, I'll say that the dark, forced pregnancy that N.J. also has in other books, takes on an even darker and far more twisted turn. In the end the victim is trapped in a body and biology he was never prepared for, in a situation he no longer has any control over.
This author writes a lot of gender dysphoria at it's lowest, darkest and harshest forms, and in this book it was very interesting to read how the sudden, unexpected and unwanted change affected the victim.
As far as forced pregnancy fetishes go, in this book it's taken a few miles forward and there's something about this particular story which I found more titillating than Lysk's other books.
Part of it is due to the fervor the kidnapping alpha and the utter patronizing behaviour he has, forcing his victim to find pleasure against his will, while completely stepping over his victim and turning him into a pliant breeding body. Something that is in complete contrast to the way his victim was at the beginning of the story.
The ending of the book is really placed right at the beginning of a horror story, but a different story that the author might choose to write or not. The story in itself of the transformation the kidnapper desired is complete and I like that we are left to imagine what happens next.
I'll admit that in a deeper darker part - I fully enjoyed this read.
