Brody by Joyee Flynn is the eighth book in the Resistant Omegas series.Brody was sold to the dire wolf pack at the age of six and he was the first of fifteen Omegas who were held there until they were freed by the members of the Omega Network. Omegas had been sold to the highest bidder and used to give their inner circle power without anyone to help them until the Omega Network was set up. Brody had his omega powers activated as a child when his alpha sexually abused him. He did everything he could to protect the younger children, even if that meant taking their place in the alphas bed.Tristan, an omega, is captured by the Wolf Council for questioning and the Omegas fear that the past may be repeating itself. Hundreds of years ago, Omegas were killed by their inner circles because they were frightened of the powers they were gaining. Wesley, the strongest Omega, goes to Lord Ellys, an ancient vampire, to go to the council to testify about the atrocities committed against the Omegas, since he had been alive at the time. As Wesley and the Omegas start the task of assessing the council members to ensure they were the correct individuals to be there, Brody's powers begin to spiral out of control. Brody meets Leif and Asher, two Beta candidates, and immediately feels connected to them. While struggling with his feelings for them, Jaxon, an alpha, arrives to be tested and instantly falls for Brody. Now Brody has the inner circle he never wanted, but desperately needs to ground his abilities. Can Brody overcome the trauma he endured and look towards a better and brighter future?I was taken by surprise by the way this book started. I knew that this confrontation would occur at some time, but the way it unfolded took my breath away. It was horrifying the way the Omegas and the Vampires were almost exterminated hundreds of years ago, but Lord Ellys' willingness to assist them in anyway showed that it was time to set the record straight. As Brody's past was revealed, it was easy to understand his hesitancy to trust Leif, Asher and Jaxon. It was sad how he felt that he was to blame for the abuse the other children with him took, when in reality he shielded them as much as he could, figuring he wasn't much older than they were at the time. As the powers of the Omegas increase, it was easy to understand why others would be afraid, except that all they wanted was to live in peace with their mates. Someone brought up the point that maybe there was something or someone that forced the inner circles to kill their Omegas hundreds of years ago, but no one knows. That is one question to the many secrets about the Omegas that has yet to be revealed.Reviewed by: TeresaOriginally posted at Fallen Angel Reviews
