great plot, a few grammatical errors in writing

Somewhat surprised the publisher didn't pick up the errors.
I can foresee book 2 or more in a series with the main character.

I can appreciate the plot: two best friends who've known each other since they were children and their whole family/group of friends are all extremely close, main characters fall in love, yada yada yada. Yeah, it's cute and I can appreciate it. However, there are grammar and punctuation mistakes throughout the story. It's not a lot, nonetheless, it's distracting. I would read a passage and realize something's wrong with it, re-read it again and correct the sentence in my head--bottom line: it was annoying. Often times the author would use a coma instead of a question mark where it was needed or add/use words that are inappropriate in the context of the sentence or passage. There was a smattering of subject/verb agreement issues, etc.

I still gave it 4 stars because I honestly feel that if the author just re-read this novel and fix her mistakes, it would be an amazing story. Overall, not a bad read. The grammar and punctuations were just irritating me. Again, it's not so bad that it makes you want to cry, but it does get annoying having to re-read a sentence because you have to correct a word in your head to have it make sense.

Overall, this is one of the better omega mpreg books I've read.  It has an actual plot, the characters are well-drawn and the author manages to avoid instalove.  Alpha Dryden and Omega Arri come together gradually; a good portion of the book details Arri's wretched life on his own as he makes his way to the Woodlynn Pack and its Alpha, Dryden. There are several indications throughout the book that this is the beginning of a series, and the ending makes it a certainty.  I would like to read a sequel in which Dryden's grumpy lead beta, Vann, finds his true mate.

My main complaint in regard to this book is the lack of even cursory editing. Basic  proofreading would have corrected errors such as "scrapping" instead of "scraping", or "gapping" instead of "gaping" in addition to the usual typos.  And hopefully someone would have caught the glaring misuse of words that obviously didn't mean what the author thought they meant.  There were a surprising number of these mistakes, but my favorite was the use of "palpitate" instead of "palpate".  No physician "palpitates" a patient's abdomen.  Unfortunately, errors like these throw the reader right out of the story.

This book has a nice plot and characters that were likable and interesting.  I would have given it 5 stars but was distracted by the consistently poor grammar and spelling.  I hope this author works out the editing issues because I really enjoy her stories.

I loved the story. Kept me on the edge of my seat. My favorite one in the series so far. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because of the distracting grammar errors. I don't know why some authors don't bother having their work professionally proofed/edited. This would be worthy of five stars if the errors weren't so frequent.

A few grammatical errors, but it was still a good read.

The plot of this book is great, and the story was developed very nicely, making it plausible. The writing was a tiny bit too detailed and a little awkward, but, in all, it was quite entertaining.

I have only just started reading this delightful archeological thriller but it seems there are many repeated sentences and numerous grammar errors on every page sometimes making the story difficult to follow.  I truly enjoy the basis of the story and of course will finish this authors first attempt at writing and publishing.  Even though I am only into the 7th chapter, I am so delighted with the tale that I can promise I will buy his future writings.  But please..do a bit more editing.  So many errors are quite distracting to a wonderful story.

fun to read, good plot, good characters, could be improved by fixing the occasional misspelled words, other than that it is good

I found the plot of this tale interesting, entertaining and gripping (but not too tightly). The characters were well developed, with nuances added as the story progressed. Although I had the culprit pegged early in the game, it was entertaining to discover how the protagonists figured it out. I am looking forward to the opportunity to read additional stories in this series. There were times I felt that the narrative got a little bogged down in fleshing out the environment, thankfully those times were few in number.
I always have to comment on the editing/proofreading of a book, while good editing cannot make a poorly written story better, poor editing can certainly spoil an otherwise good book. I found the editing in this book to be well done until the final few chapters when a few flaws crept in. It was almost like the editor was in a hurry to get this project done and just glossed over the final few chapters.

very well thought out characters and story line. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because of the grammatical errors that pepper the book. They can be a bit distracting but the story line is strong enough to outweigh the errors so much so I can barely wait for the next book!

I enjoyed watching the characters and plot develop, and it makes me want to read more of the many series with overlapping characters.

My only suggestion is for writing/editing.  Writers sometimes use "the man" instead of saying the characters' names, probably to avoid using names so much, but it's only confusing and annoying, at least to me.  "The man" was used 128 times in this book, based on a search with my ipad.  FYI  Otherwise, the book rates high on avoiding grammar errors and typos.  :-)

I enjoyed the plot and the characters -- it was very funny.  But there were too many grammar mistakes in the book, which I found too irritating and distracted from the book.  Some conversations did not flow logically --  one person would answer herself, which didn't make sense.  Also, the author  switches from 1st person to 3rd person with the character of Nickel.  And  she used 'to' instead of 'too.' As a former copy editor and English major,  this was very distracting!  But overall, a great book.  I plan on getting  the next 2.

I was pleased with this story line, though I found some of the grammatical errors to be annoying. So I rated it less than 5 because of that, and more than 3 for the story line.

This was a very good story for a first novel.  The characters are interesting and believable, the technology is an odd mix of old and new, and the plot and pacing were good.  I did not want to put it down.  :)  The only reason this book doesn't get 5 stars as a first effort is the writing is handicapped by a complete lack of proofreading.  Words are misspelled; tenses change in mid-paragraph; words or sentence fragments are repeated.  The author states this is his (her?) first work, but not the first one which was published.  It reads as if the publisher rushed it to release to capitalize on the success of other (later) works which were published first.

In sum, a good read, but be warned if sloppy editing is a problem for you.

Plot was awesome enthralling. However, it was hard getting past all of the typos. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.

I enjoyed the book; the plot was good and kept my interest.  However, the glaring grammatical errors/wrong words stunned me.
Most of the book was well-written, but some of the verbs used were incorrect (one example: he used ran instead of run).  So.....I am reading along, following the action, and then:  a wrong verb stops me in my tracks.

Suggestion:  Hire a proofreader, Mr. Stevens.
