“Because you are mine, and I am yours.”
In the ruins of this broken world, omegas are currency—I’ve stayed off that particular radar by pretending I’m not one, utilizing the resources as a nurse in a neutral zone to suppress everything about my scent.
Then he shows up.
He smells something on me that shouldn’t be possible. Something that I’m still grappling with.
Judge doesn’t let go of what’s his, and he’ll burn the whole damn world down to chase after me.
Darkly intense, brutally seductive, and charged with emotional heat. Darling Diana is a dystopian omegaverse novel. For fans of slow-burn obsession, morally black power plays, and heroines who refuse to break.

This is book 1 of 2, and the second book is a guaranteed HEA.
Oh fuck you,” I manage out. He smiles slowly and sits down on the couch. “In due time, nurse.”
I am suing. SUING I tell ya. Suing for emotional damages because what do you MEAN you’re going to leave us like this, Scarlett Finch? My flabbers are gasted my even cannot. This is the kind of emotional damage a reader doesn’t come back from and the sheer audacity to write it so nonchalantly? I bow down to your evil genius. But I digress.
I discovered Charlotte Mallory earlier this year and was immediately hooked. If you haven’t read The Improper Bastards series yet, change that immediately. So when I saw she’s releasing an omegaverse dystopian romance under her pen name, Scarlett Finch? Suffice it to say I couldn’t get on it quick enough. There is just something about the way this woman writes an MMC that is absolute chefs kiss. And she did not disappoint with Judge. Holy walking red flag and morally gray epicness!
When I tell you that I devoured this book, I mean I couldn’t set it down from cover to cover. I was so wholly immersed in this world, that I dreaded finishing. And with good reason too, since that cliffhanger damn near killed me. But I digress. If you like hate lust, enemies to lovers vibes, fierce FMCs and morally gray MMCs, you’ll need this in your life.
In the dystopian wasteland world, Omegas are a currency between powerful and corrupt alpha led gangs. It’s like Mad Max meets romance sort of vibes and I was here for it. Diana has spent years hiding her Omega self by purchasing illegal suppressants that hide her true sent. In a desperate bid for more of the drugs, she stumbles into the crosshairs of one of the most dangerous alphas and a force to be reckoned with, Judge. Judge is the leader of the biker gang and notorious for his violence and ruthlessness. And she also just so happens to be his scent match. Sounds utterly delicious right? It really was!
This is very much a slow burn romance and I loved their chemistry filled journey. I also loved the way that Diana, while in impossible odds, doesn’t back down and holds her ground against a man who makes grown men tremble in fear.
I haven’t read as much omega verse romance and I have no idea why because this book hit the spot so well and so hard that now I’m craving more knotty times. But if you’re looking for something dark, gritty, sizzling, with plenty of tension and deliciously fun banter, look no further.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go die a slow death until the sequel comes out on March 23.
