Katriana Cardona’s life changed once the X-Clan found her, turning her into a rare omega. However, she remains a female alpha inside. Ander Cain, Alpha of Andorra Sector, offers her protection in exchange for all of her, even if it means taking her forcefully. Katriana vows to resist and fight back against the wolves who dare to challenge her. On the other hand, Ander sees Katriana as his mate and the hope for their future, determined to train her to follow pack rules and eventually make her his own, willingly or not.
Andorra Sector is the first installment in the X-Clan paranormal dystopian shifter romance series. While the author provides a much appreciated warning about “dubious consent”, nothing could have properly prepared us for what was to come. Suspending reality for a second and accepting that this dystopian / human / zombie / shifter society lives according to very “animalistic” rules of mating, Ander STILL raised all of the red flags as a “hero”. First, he gripes about not having sex with a human woman again because the last time he “shared” one with his second-in command, she died “during the act”. ICK. Then, unbeknown to Katriana, he injects her with a substance that accelerates her going into “heat”. ICK. There is dubious consent and then there is no consent. This romance is full of the latter. Also, where the heck are the zombies?!
