It felt more like an intro then a story, very short not alot of details.

This manuscript could, maybe, qualify as a Short Story, and not really that because it doesn't have a plot. Basically The Omega Hunt is a story introduction with the four main characters (the Omega female and her three pack Alphas), the key world-building piece (defining the Omega Hunt), and the inciting incident which brings them together.
For a plot to work there needs to be a beginning, middle, and end - a change or lack of change in the characters between the beginning and end, caused by an outside pressure in the middle.
Other issues include very poor proofreading where entire sentences are repeated. Oh, and extreme lack of consent ... I understand the Omegaverse tends toward not having consent because of biological programming, but this goes way beyond, definitely earning the title "Dark". We are talking CREEPY level from two of the three Pack members - one is way too much into the hunt, another is too damaged for safety, and the last, the "sane" one, is really obsessed.
On the other hand, it doesn't earn "Paranormal" because Omegaverse ... as presented here ... isn't lycanthropes or other were- creature ... just typical humans.
Losing points for bad proofreading, not actually being a story, not actually being novella length, not being paranormal, and sexual relations, not only lacking consent, but active harm occuring. Yes, that is 5 negs, making this a zero star. Get one point back for clearly defined characters.
/spoiler The biggest neg is one of the Alphas nearly killing the Omega and his punishment by the lead Alpha is to give her oral sex. That's it. Borderline snuff porn with no consequences is NOT healthy BDSM. /Spoiler

Then and there I like to read short stories/novellas like these one. And it was like to be expected, that there is mostly the spicy part and not enough plotwise.
But this one had some depth, that I wished would be discussed or fleshed out more. Or to make this in an entire book would be good, too. I really hope the author gives these characters another story, because the ending wasn't satisfying for me. Too abrupt, and I don't think the issues are solved just because they mated. Trauma and bad experiences don't work that way.
But I will read the next ones, because for a novella it wasn't that bad. So, I give it 4 stars, but with the hope there will be more.

I really wanted to like this book and then I saw it was a novella so it is going to be short (70 pages) and as I was starting to enjoy it I came to the last chapter where it was nothing more than sex. You don't know what happens in the last chapter or what will happen next book and that is boring and honestly not the last thing people should read in a book, especially if the book is part of a series.

This is actually exactly what a series book is supposed to be.
You lure me in with characters who I already know I'm going to be obsessed with. You literally have one of those characters be a bit of a lunatic but with a seriously decent reason. Give him some great one lines and boom. I'm hooked.

I wanted more
This was so good then it just ended. Whyyyyyyyy. It feels incomplete like I’m missing something. We did get complete characters but the relationship was purely biological. They barely spoke to her even though we had good info on each pre- hunt. I need a part 2

Really short so no real chance for any kind of development rather just a snapshot of a day in the life. I have to reserve judgement of the characters as there is not enough story to have a valid impression.

short but solid
The writing is good, but there honestly isn’t enough there to evaluate. I really wanted more. I will say I will keep the author in mind for when I need a short pallet cleanser.

Obsessed!
Wow! I thought this would be just a quick read o could finish in one sitting but it was so good I am hooked. Definitely want to see what’s in store next for Leeda and the gang. Highly recommend in you are getting into or are already a fan of omegaverse.

A very short omegaverse story with relatively flat characters and more telling vs showing.
It was propelling so I was able to move past the short sentances to finish

omega hunt
A short story of Leeds who has passed age to have been mated, thus she’s thrown into the hunt. Would have been a good full length novel.

Quick read
It's hard to find an Omega story with a black female lead so I was surprised and excited to find this story. It's my first read from this author.

Good short story. I wish it was longer. I'm really hoping these characters and this world is revisited. Anxiously awaiting for more!
