Mongrel (Valleywood Season Three) by Shannon West

Part of the Valleywood omegaverse combined universe. Mongrel is a mystery lower angst with light mpreg romance.


From the blurb:

Levi is an omega, and his status is one of only three things his half-wolf mother ever bequeathed to him. Her good looks and her ability to do a bit of folk magic were the other two things. His father, who was fully human, left him nothing at all, and he’d been trying his best all his life just to get by. He has a “friend” from childhood who leads a vicious and dangerous neighborhood gang of Mongrels and misfits and they’ve been trying to recruit Levi as a member.

He’s tempted out of sheer desperation and loneliness, but when a handsome special agent and purebred Alpha wolf unexpectedly appears in Valleywood, full of questions about the gang and Levi’s role in it, Levi finds himself in trouble. He wants to cooperate, but after all, he’s no snitch.

Meanwhile, his old friend and gang leader, Willie Watusi, has a new and nefarious get-rich quick scheme that is bizarre and macabre to say the least—and it comes complete with a curse that he wants Levi to remove.

The Alpha wolf is attracted to Levi almost against his will but soon has to take him under his protection to save him not only from the Mongrel gang but from a dangerous and potentially deadly curse. Buried treasure, magic, Alpha/omega, dark secrets, knotting and revenge all come together in this story of love, intrigue and mpreg—and a dog named Nugget.

Mongrel is part of the Valleywood series. Valleywood is a magical city filled with magic, love, forgiveness and mpreg. This book can be read standalone or in the order of releases.


Molly Otto's review:

An overall enjoyable read that kept you hooked from start to finish. The dynamics of Rolf & Levi through me slightly off in the way Rolf didn't believe in the magic, which made him not fully in with Levi. Yes, Levi did lie, but Rolf never seemed to give him a full shot or really show he felt. Their chemistry was great, and you could tell that they wanted one another but couldn't fully see they needed the other if that made sense. Overall, it was a great story, making you want to continue to see how it all eventually played out. If you don't generally read mpreg, don't worry. This is only lightly played at the end of the story, so it's not a huge part of the storyline. The mystery of what is happening and how it will all play out is the majority of the story.
