I love how Thret gets the theoretical wind knocked out of him when he encounters his lifemate. His antagonism to having a lifemate is gleeful. What I really like about Chariot is that she is a mom and the amount of suffering she endures to protect her child. As a mother, I empathize with Chariot’s devotion to her daughter Armista and I like that the author allows different ethnics for her females. I imagine Chariot to look like the singer, Rihanna. Bold. Strong. Beautiful with a small sense of humor.

Mountain of Safety ‘My rock monster reaches deep into my soul and extracts the years of loneliness, cupping them in his giant hands and lifting them high above our heads. He worships me for my strength and resilience. And promises to be by my side from now until forever.’ Book nine in V.T. Bonds’ Warrior Elite series has Alpha Thret finding his Omega in Chariot, who has been experimented on by the ISC for over two decades. In this omegaverse, pain is expected. Bonds uses every level of pain to drive readers into a frenzy of need - the need for her Alphas to earn the right to their brave omegas’ hearts. And Thret, who never wanted to bond to anyone, cannot do anything but, when Chariot’s safety is at stake. The terror that is created by ISC fans the flames of retribution and hate, all while allowing the softness of heart to be explored.
