Melody Unbound by L.V. Lane
3.0
Melody Unbound is book number 13 in the Coveted Prey series. All the books can be read as stand-alone, however, I tend to recommend you start at the beginning to familiarise yourself with this world, though it's not necessary as there are several different parts of this fantasy world, with different customs and so forth. :)
This book is a reverse harem omegaverse and it's quite full of delicious smutty scenes. :D
It's one of the author's more 'light and fluffy' works tbh, though it does have some tension. Mostly we find ourselves inside the main buildings of Sanctum and we follow Melody's day-to-day life as an Omega Fairy, who can open dark portals and is receiving portal training.ยจ
Melody is very young, though she is an adult - but I did find myself struggling to get on with her and the book in general, because there was just so much of her behaviour that, to me, made her seem extremely young. Now I know she's very sheltered, this is made clear - but I'm going, to be honest, I kept picturing a hentai scene here and there because of her dialogue. *lol*
I really did struggle to get on with her as a character, which also made me struggle a bit through the book - but it's not all lost! It's just that I am not personally a fan of her type of character.
The Alphas (she has 4 of them) I liked better, but I would have loved to see MORE of them outside the bedroom and without her. I also felt like I wanted to see more of why Draven was the lead Alpha, what exactly made him this, because apart from a couple of situations, I didn't feel like this was delved into enough.
I loved the brothers' dialogue most of the time, especially when discussing Melody and their plans hehe. But I did feel like there was a lot of repetition of dialogue subject and though not word for word, I still found myself thinking "We already covered this". So that was a letdown.
All in all, I gave this particular book 3 stars, simply because I just didn't get on with Melody. The author is extremely talented, and I have usually given her other books top scores or almost top scores (even in this series), so this for me is a huge thing that I only gave it 3. But I am honest in my reviews, and like it is with many book series, we don't always love ALL the books or get along with ALL the books. And this just happened to be THAT book I didn't get on with. :)
