Blood Sector is a dark shifter romance. This is a paranormal Omegaverse romance series. Lexi is one of my favourite paranormal authors. She weaves her stories so well you literally feel like you are part of that world. Her stories just keep on getting better with each book.
This is one hell of a story as you are on the edge of your seat the entire time. This story is action packed and has lots of twist you don’t see coming. You will find yourself completely immersed in the story and each and every character, ok maybe not all of them.
Quinn is an unmated Omega Wolf. She is also the ultimate prize in the deadly game of being the one claimed by blood thirsty war. On the run and trying to stay hidden but her time is just about up.

Reading the plot of the story makes you want to hate Kieran and meeting him is much the same. But as all good authors due Ms. Foss has woven a tale of characters who are multidimensional and complex. Until you peel back the layers you never really know who you’ll love and who you’ll hate.
Quinn is an unmated Omega who desires to choose her own mate and find someone worthy of protecting the secrets she carries along with her. Enter Kieran the one alpha prince not chasing after her hand making him the perfect choice for a mate. Only Quinn doesn’t want him as a mate but needs him for something else he possesses and for his ability to run the blood sector. Can they move past the distrust in each other to fully mate and rule as king and queen? Or are there ulterior motives behind Kieran’s actions that may put all Quinn holds dear at risk?
This book had me on the edge of my seat from the very first page. You don’t know until the end, as the story unfolds, who is the bad guy and who is pulling the chains. Who is keeping all the secrets and playing a game where they don’t have all of the pieces. This book is full of action, adventure, and romance with a mysterious backstory that will keep you guessing until the very end. I cannot recommend this book enough and will probably reread this book several times over because it is just that good.

Quinnlynn, a powerful omega princess, has secrets that she is too afraid to share with anyone. She takes a risk and asks Prince Kieran to keep her safe. She then runs away for 100 years, taking her secrets with her. After running away and being chased by her prince, she is finally caught, and must return home. Quinn is the rightful heir to The Blood Sector, the most sought after sector, which is not too happy with their future queen. Kieran does all that he can take make Quinn whole again. Their relationship is sinful, steamy, and has you hanging on. The alpha and omega part of their relationship is very hot. The only thing I have bad to say about this is that it’s a stand-alone book and I need more of their story!

Quinnlynn has to deal with the death of her parents and the ramifications of their death. She runs for the only Apha prince that she thinks can keep her safe.
So many secrets she has stored away and no one to help carry that burden except her best friend Kyra.
Quinnlynn an unmated Omega princess crosses into the sector protected by Alpha prince Kieran and proposes he become her intended. Kieran has no idea what to think. Every alpha prince is fighting for her hand as she is the most powerful of Omega’s and will be Queen of the Blood Sector. What follows is a twisting tale of betrayal, and unravelling of secrets. If you enjoy shifter books this one most certainly was an enjoyable read.

This is an incredible story. The characters are very well-developed and well-written. There is lots of conversation in this story, whether it’s inner chatter or among others. Kieran and Quinn have an amazing chemistry. The secrets being kept from the other and the challenges they are trying to overcome keep you roped in from the very start of the book. I found the plot to an intriguing tale with many twists along the way. Though written as a stand alone, I will be looking for the others in this series. This was my first foray into the Omegaverse and I’m enjoying the ride so far. Great book. I highly recommend.

Love this book, it has everything that I need. From suspense to knowing who will be the Omega and who will capture the princess’s heart. But we know that there has to be a battle and brutal methods for these shifters to win a bloody battle. I love these characters, Kieran and Quinn. When is to rule the V-clan and the other wants to run away from it all.

Foss – Review by Charlene Gonzalez
I just finished this book and immediately had to post a review. This book is not for kids or the faint at heart. There are some intense scenes in here. With that being said I loved it from the first word. The chemistry between Kieran and Quinn is noticeable from the moment they meet. You can tell they are going to excite each and compliment one another and that they do. I was pleasantly surprised by how well they worked together once they got over their respective pride and fears. What I did not perceive was the truth behind Quinn’s motives for everything she did. Now back to the intense scenes. It took me a little bit to fully understand some of the terms used. But once I did everything fell into place. It was easy to visualize what was happening. The scenes were intimate, at times a bit crass, but enjoyable. Defining a good read. I can’t wait to read more by this author.

I want to start off with I have never read an Omni verse novel or V-clan or anything related to this book. That being said it was SO EASY to follow and get into! I do also tend to prefer supernatural romance novels. I could not put this book down! I finished it in like 6 hours. The detail in which it was written as well as from both main characters perspectives just is so well done I was sucked in and I loved every minute of it! Can’t wait to read the next one!

WOW WOW OH MY GOSH THIS BOOK WAS SO GREAT! I have not read a book by this author and now I find myself looking up all of her work. This novel was expertly written and was one that I did not want to stop reading but had to force myself to do that to go to work. The way that I was able to read and see it from the perspective of both of the main characters, Quinn and Kieran was so instrumental as it helped me understand both characters. Quinn is terrified of the onslaught of unmated male werewolves that come out of the woodwork that want to be with her that she flees into the arms of Kieran, the only one who is not interested in her for her or her kingdom. Kieran was skeptical but decided to accept and when she left and had him hunting for her for over 100 years until she was finally back with him. They go through so many different trials and tribulations, and it was such a great read. I cannot wait to reread this over and over again.

Foss – Review by Carlie Del Gallo
I first came across this book a month ago and was impatiently waiting for it to finally come out. It is the first book I have ever read by Lexi C. Foss, and it did not disappoint me. It has honestly become my new favorite book and I have been gushing about it to my best friend which led to her finally purchasing it. The book begins with a short poem of sorts that gives some highlights on the story. Being told by not one but two POVs: Quinn is an unmated Omega wolf that is now the last remaining member of her royal family. Kieran is an Alpha Prince that was avoiding the war for her hand. Seems simple in the beginning.
Quinn goes to Kieran essentially proposing to him. As the last remaining member of her royal family, she is to be the next Queen of Blood Sector, the heart of the V-Clan sectors. She goes to him out of desperation and for his magical healing ability. Before they are to truly be mated, she disappears sending her betrothed on a century long game of hide and seek. One hundred years of chasing her across the sectors and he finds her in X-Clan territory, she could have run but chose to stay to heal the broken Omega she was trying to save. Intrigued by her choice and showing that she is as a true queen to put others before herself, Kieran heals the omega before taking his betrothed back to Blood Sector. Only the Quinn he remembered that snuck into his territory a century ago was long gone her soul, a combination of her human self and her wolf, was disassociated and broken. After an extended period of healing Quinn, she finally wakes up. A century of keeping her family’s secrets and being on the hunt for their killer had left her isolated within her own mind. Sanctuary, the one secret her family kept from there pack, was Quinn’s deepest secret. Both afraid and relieved to be home she finally begins to let Kieran in, he has proven his self-deserving of some truth. She had run all those years ago tracking a lead in the murder of her parents, a murder driven by the desire to learn the location of Sanctuary. Within the span of only a couple of months Quinn’s entire world is flipped upside down and back again. Everything she thought she knew is discovered to be a lie, everything that is except for Kieran, their bond, their love is true. His only motive in life was to love and worship her in every way that she deserved.
I couldn’t put down Blood Sector, finishing the book in one sitting spanning from eleven p.m. through three thirty a.m. I couldn’t stop and the author, Lexi C. Foss is incredible. The world she creates, the characters, the emotions. Blood Sector took me on a rollercoaster, I laughed, I cried, I felt betrayed, afraid and ultimately overjoyed. If you love a book with love and mystery. A book that not only makes you root for one of the leads but both equally, seeing their story unfold and wanting nothing but happiness for them in every sense of the word, then Blood Sector is a must read. While there is a second book to the V-Clan series set to release in August of 2023, this is a complete story of Quinn and Kieran, as the second book is about other characters from Blood Sector.

I have read shifter romances before, but this one was…different. It was the first time I’d heard of knotting and…I’m still not sure what it is?? I feel like the world building was a little confusing, but it was interesting and original. One thing I had a big issue with is that Kieran is referred to as “dark,” but…. I REALLY don’t see it. The book description made him seem really dark and demanding and “i take what i want when i want it,” but he was nothing but sweet to her. He was very thoughtful, considerate. Which is fine, and I loved his character, it’s just not what was advertised in the blurb. Also, most of their problems happened from them jumping to conclusions or making assumptions, and it just got old after a while. The spicy scenes were okay, albeit kind of confusing. And the ending was just kind of disappointing. All of the buildup and mystery…for that?? I do think the world the author has created, is interesting and fresh, and I was entertained for a majority of the book, so that’s why I gave it four stars.

Blood Sector is a great paranormal romance with two characters that are both stubborn. Quinn is trying to figure out what happened to her parents years ago when she meets Kieran. She fights her attraction for him for a very long time. Eventually, Quinn realizes that Kieran is her soulmate. I love the lore in this story about the different kinds of werewolves. I like when an author puts information in a novel that is unique to that world. Blood Sector is great for people who love werewolves and romance.

Brilliant I absolutely loved this book. Quinn and Kieran’s story told in dual POV was well written. The world building was exceptional and the characterisation around wolves is original. This book draws the reader into a fantastical world and the banter between Kieran and Quinn makes you totally invested in the storyline. Even though this is a stand-alone I am hoping to see glimpses of these characters in future V-Clan series books. Now awaiting Lorcan and Kyra’s story.

I thought this book was a great read.. it was greatly written. A lot of talking between each character, like I was actually there and not just reading the book. The journey the characters take the reader on is full of everything and anything, including love, war, anything. Would anyone be able to handle change in a bad light? Would anyone be able to take the challenge of everything is going the way they want it to go but then it all goes up in flames and changes. The main female character lead has to decide if she’s willing to risk everything or just take care of herself. She does do what any real heroine does, helps everyone and do things for everyone. But she needed a tad of help so she insisted someone to help her out. But would anyone wait forever for a long and forever love? How much would someone take from the person they Love? Especially when they know they are hiding something from them. This writer made this book an awesome read. I didn’t want to put it down. I would recommend it to anyone that enjoys this type of book. You wouldn’t want to put it down.

Foss – Review by Kimberly Wilkinson
I am giving this book 5 stars because of the way it was written. There is a bunch of dialogue between the characters, whether it is with someone or just self talk. It is amazing. I felt like I was a fly on the wall reading this and listening to someone’s conversations. The journey that the characters take you on is full of twists and turns, but also love and intrigue. What would you do if everything that you thought was true ended up not being so? Do you believe what you always have or the new information that is being presented. That is what one of the characters must decide and the journey to get to the point is full of self repressed emotions. Doing something that is for an amazing cause and that can help people is what the female lead character did. She did everything for others, giving of herself no matter what the toll it took on her. She taught out someone who might be able to help her and used him to accomplish what she knew was the right thing. How long would you wait for your mate? That is what the lead male needs to decide and even though he knew she was hiding things when they met, what are those things? This book is everything that you would expect in a werewolf paranormal romance but it has an amazing twist that I have yet to come across in any paranormal books I have read. It took a fresh light to a genre that I love and made me love it even more. I did read this in one day because I had to know what happened and I couldn’t put it down. If you are wanting to look at this genre with a different eye, I highly recommend this book. You won’t be disappointed.

I’m an unmated Omega Wolf. A Princess. And destined to rule. But the remaining Alpha Princes all want to claim me, their brutal methods terrifying and cruel.
I’ve spent the last century running, hiding in places where no one would think to look.
Only he found me. Prince Kieran, the most powerful shifter of them all.
Our game of hide and seek has come to an end.
It’s time for me to submit.
Or to die fighting.
Kieran O’Callaghan
My little trickster escaped me once. She indulged in a dangerous game of chase throughout the Sectors, but I’ve finally found my prize.
Poor little darling thought I valued chivalry and courting. I’m an Alpha Prince. I take what I want, when I want it, however I want it. And her sweet blood beckons the predator within me to destroy all her dreams of a happily ever after.
Let the Princes enjoy their Royal V-Wars.
As long as they bow to me as King of Blood Sector, I won’t intervene.
Besides, I have a new pretty little Omega to tame. It’s time to put a crown on her and make her my queen.
Author’s Note: This is a standalone dark shifter romance with Omegaverse themes. Kieran is an unapologetic Alpha Prince and Quinn is a feisty Omega Princess. It’s a match made in literal hell where the antihero is the king.

I am a sucker for a good werewolf book. This was everything I wanted and more. Not to mention that the main character was HOT. HOT. HOT. The world, the characters, and the plot were all seamlessly put together and it just made it that incredible! I look forward to reading more from this author!
I have been eyeballing this book for awhile as I saw it popping up all over my recommendations. I finally was intrigued enough to fall back down into the werewolf alpha rabbit hole. It’s very easy for me to get sucked into the werewolf genre and I have to force myself to take a break and move on to a new genre. However, this story just sucked me back in and I think this binge is going to be a long one!
What’s not to love about this plot line? A bullied second son, deemed nerdy and insignificant to his pack. Suddenly thrust into a position of power and the great responsibility that comes with it (Yes, I channeled my inner Spider Man spirit for that, thank you Uncle Ben!). Nolen, said second son, is sent away to train while learning how to fulfill his new role. He is determined to gain the respect of his pack and be the protector and provider he knows he can be. His journey along the way brings new people into his life and a new perspective. Of course, old enemies arise and Nolen is forced to put his words into actions. It’s a great journey to follow. I won’t spoil it all but I will tell you, read it now! You won’t regret it!

I love shifter stories and this one was right up my alley. I loved that it was just a bit different than others I have read. It’s a story of the struggle Nolen faces after his brother was killed and he is expected to become the next alpha and find his mate. I fell in love with the main characters and was very glad to see Nolen’s self confidence grow with him. Overall, highly recommend this book!
Nolen is a young man of fifteen, he lives with his family and the rest of his pack, the Rhyolite pack and he is the second son of the Alpha and Luna, he is more than happy to be second in command under his big brother and the rest of the pack is happy with that too, until one day when his brother is killed by a neighbouring pack and Nolen has to step into his bog brothers place as the next Alpha.
Nolen is not happy about this as he does not have the best history with his pack , however, he is sent too another neighbouring pack for training, Nolen is nervous at first, but when he starts to get to know the other pack members, he comes into his own and makes friends. When he finishes his training and returns home for his eighteenth birthday, they are also celebrating his first shift and the finding of his mate, so when he finds her, he is gutted that he can’t tell her because of pack law, but he keeps as close an eye on her as he can.
Fast forward three peaceful and happy years as Alpha of his pack and Nolen is doing really well, however, another pack threatens that peace and in order for him to stop any bloodshed, he challenges that pack’s Alpha and loses. As he struggles to regain his health, Nolen has to find a way to become stronger and take back his pack, but will he be able to gather the strength and support of those he needs to do this and claim his Luna in the process? This is a fantasy romance with aspects of a coming of age tale mixed in where peace and war teeter on a hairs breadth line and love, strength and support are all that hold the balance between the two in this story which will draw you in slowly at first, but then lead you on a wild tale throughout.
Omg i really enjoyed this story by C.L. Ledford was really well written, a real page turner pulls you right in. Nolen was treated like crap for years. When his brother was attacked and killed. He suddenly becomes the next alpha and his life goes through a lot of ups and downs before getting to his HEA with Amora. Looking forward to reading more books by this author. Highly recommend reading this.
Nolen is the second son of the Alpha of their pack, making him mostly unseen. Compared to his perfect brother Archer, Nolen was scrawny and weak. He never had to worry about it though as Archer was the heir to the pack. That is until one day Archer is killed, thrusting Nolen into the spot of heir at the young age of 13.
Nolen was completely unprepared for what was expected of him. Fortunately, there is another heir from a different pack, named Sawyer, undergoing Alpha training to take over his own pack. Nolen’s father decided it was in his best interest to train with Sawyer and his pack until his 18th birthday when Nolen’s wolf is due to show himself.
While Nolen was training with the pack, he met Sawyer’s sister Amora and there is an instant connection between them. She was only 10 years old so he chalked it up to a protective feeling of this little girl.
As time goes on, Nolen gets bigger and stronger and feelings for Amora are even more confusing. There is a lot of will they\won’t they tension once they hit their teen years.
This was a very well written coming of age paranormal book. Nolen has no self esteem even after he gets bigger and more handsome. He has it in his head that he will never be as good as his brother and that no one will accept him as their Alpha. I like how the author delved into those feelings, often making Nolen be more relatable to the reader. Scrawny, timid boy turns into a strong, handsome and more confident man.
The only thing I did not like was the age of Amora when feelings were starting to develop. She was too young in my eyes. I know there isn’t much of an age difference between the two but where the age difference is makes me feel a bit uncomfortable. Having an 11 year old child myself, I didn’t want to think of a girl that age in a love story. But hey, that is just me in denial that my son is growing up.
I love a story where I can root for the underdog and The Second Alpha Heir is that type of story. Nolan was scrawny and bullied by everyone. He was never meant to be the alpha but fate has other plans. Nolan trains to fulfill the role his brother left behind. We get to see the ups and downs of Nolan on his journey. He really is a protagonist worth rooting for. His book has an interesting plot and a nice slow-burn romance. It also has a very creatively built world. I really enjoyed this story.

Wow! What can I say about this totally captivating and entertaining book. Nolen is a wonderful character and right from the very start I was 100% on his side and wanted him to thrive and succeed. He was the second son, bullied by his pack and definitely not seen as a leader in any way. That all changes and he must become the Alpha and lead his pack into the future. He receives very important training from another pack, where he also makes very valuable bonds. Amora the younger sister to his best friend Sawyer becomes extremely important to his and his packs future. All the characters are wonderfully written and the storyline so creative that once you start reading you won’t be able to put it down.

I did not enjoy this book as much as I expected to, however that is mostly my own doing. I didn’t pay enough attention to the categories this book is listed under and missed the fact that it’s a coming-of-age story (and probably could have surmised that from the blurb, but didn’t for some reason). Those are not my usual reads. In addition to that, it’s under a romance category, but it’s definitely more of a love story due to how things play out (which isn’t really clear by reading the book description). I don’t usually read those either. The writing style took a little getting used to as well.
That being said, if coming-of-age and love stories are your thing, you’ll likely enjoy this book very much. I like the overall concept of the book and the author did a great job of creating the characters. The world building was also great. You will experience many different emotions while reading this, and the tension keeps things interesting.
The Second Alpha Heir by C.L. Ledford 4 out of 5 stars
To say I related to this book is an understatement. The main character, Nolen, went through so much and still persevered. To never feel good enough, to think your mate would have rejected him, and to think he could never be accepted as the pack leader, yet he still went through all the training.
Being a person who was bullied, and never thought I was good enough, this book brought me to tears on multiple occasions. Then in the next chapter I was shouting and dancing and yelling, “Go Nolen!” Very few books make me feel this way, and I was pleasantly surprised that this book got me to this point. The Second Alpha Heir, was an easy and quick read, being only 175 pages, but left you wanting to read just one more chapter before bed. Next thing you know you are finishing the book, it’s 4 am, and you have to get up for work.
If you want a book that takes you on a roller coaster of emotions; happy, sad, angry, and easily relatable main character, this is the book for you. I cannot write enough good things about this book, so thank you C.L. Ledford for writing such a fantastic book!
What pushed me to give 4 out of 5 stars if this book was so good? A couple of things, but I want to point out, that if I could give half stars I would. I definitely would rate this 4.5 instead of 4, but alas here I am only able to give 4 stars. Reasons for deducting one star are a few minor things that hopefully can help the author grow and keep writing books as amazing as this one! The first reason would be, which was towards the beginning and very minor, was that the female lead character, her actions seemed off for being at age 10. For example, she hid behind her mom’s skirts. If she was 10, how was she that small? I picture “hiding behind her mom’s skirts” would be a little toddler scared of new people, not a 10 year old. Another writing option would be, she was hiding behind her mother’s frame. I feel that type of description might have made more sense. I also felt that some of the scenes were a bit rushed, and could have been described a bit more. Some of the battle scenes, fasting forward to 90 years old, etc. Like I said, very minor things to help with constructive criticism.
I cannot wait for more books to be published by this author!
OMG! This book had me in my feelings more than I expected. The story was original with aspects of true blue werewolf culture. I loved the characters. I was drawn towards Nolen, not only because of his heart, but for the ideals he expressed when not feeling like he is good enough. Anyone that has ever felt that way can relate to Nolen. The love and respect Nolen feels for Amora is spectacular. There are so many good things about the way he loves her. I didn’t want this book to end. I wanted it to be left open for a series. My heart was shredded at the end.
If you are a fan of werewolf romance, this one is for you!!

A great debut novel! Nolan is the second son to the alpha and when his brother is attacked and killed we get to experience his growth from a runt to a true alpha. The slow burn romance is always a favorite of mine and this one did not disappoint! The time jumps in this book did throw me off at first, but I was quickly able to figure it out! Overall, I did enjoy this book and it was a quick, easy read!
