This one started out slow but the pacing improved a lot in the last half so if you have followed the rest of the series you will not want to miss this one.   Another part of this book is it sets up a continuation of the series but focused on secondary characters they we already know while introducing a few new one.

The 7th installment in the Alpha Girl series takes Tessa and pulls her right from her honeymoon with Dastien and straight into demonic hell.

It's been weeks of bliss for the both of them, when Tessa started feeling a little off. And then a lot off when she felt like she's sliced alive and then die. Freaky, right? It turns out there's more to things than any of them thought.

The balance of the supernatural world is shaken, which gives Luciana's head honcho the opportunity to claim Tessa, and this opportunity is the battle of the wolves', witches' and feys' lives. And fight they do.

This story, I think most of all, explained just how strong the bond between mates is, it showed what being Alpha in this world means, and how thinking outside the box can save the day.

A new supernatural is introduced, and he's so much fun, I kind of wanting him to get his own story. Eli is... something I can't really explain, with a type of power no one can really explain. But I promise, he is fun.

I did have a little issue with the story, and that is that it stretched a little too much before reaching the main event. But other than that - it was great.

Can't wait for the next one. Chris really deserves his HEA, as well.

Holy crap! Literally holy...

Tessa is in for the fight for her life. Let me tell you one thing the blurb is completely miss leading, but I’m happy it is, because I was expecting a different outcome and I got something way better.

I am in love with Tessa and Dastien so much in this book, because their bond is stronger than ever. They are fighting harder than ever before. I couldn’t put the book down; I finished it in one sitting.

Alright getting into the characters. Tessa really comes into herself, because she’s becoming a true alpha and she’s learning others depend on her just as much as she depends on them. She has a strength she is unaware of, which I admire because it makes her somewhat humble. When it comes down to the ass kicking Tessa really has it in the bag, because she’s surrounded by her loved ones. She draws strength through her friends and mate. I admire her. I also admire Chris because he knows his weaknesses, yet he still continues to fight for his loved ones. (Please Erin fulfill my ship between a certain fey and were.) Honestly Erin makes many great characters I could go into great detail. Each of her characters have potential to tell great stories and she takes advantage of that. She gives her readers what they want and what they don’t expect.

The overall plot was interesting. I didn’t expect it if I’m being completely honest with myself. I do wish there was more of a fight scene at the end though. That is was is holding this book back from being a five star book. I enjoyed all of the cliffhangers from chapter to chapter, and the twists and turns that happened unexpectedly. Erin crafted Being Alpha brilliantly and I can’t wait to read her next book.

I want to say thank you for NetGalley for giving me this opportunity to review this wonderful novel before it was released as well.

Cheers lovelies.

Human, witch, and werewolf...Tessa is all three. She would need the power from all three to banish the evil demon that wants to take her to hell and steal her powers. With the help from witches, werewolves, fey, even a Angel-like being named Eli, they all work together to banish the demon and put the world to rights....but for how long?

Possibly the best in the series so far. I need to do a re-read of the series (I keep meaning to), but even in this book alone, you can see Tessa grow into more of her power, accept it, become more of a leader and Alpha, and make the decisions that will ultimately lead her to being basically an uber Alpha.
The relationship between her and Dastien is one of the better romances out there. Neither is dependent on the other, there's no codependency, there's massive amounts of respect and love between them, and even the teasing is in good nature. If they disagree, they recognize it and move forward. A great example. We need more of that.
