I have this book (bought it just to get Alphas: Origins ). I loved it, but it is quite a bit darker than their usual, with dubious consent, Stockholm syndrome and violence. Considering that in general, their books don't shy away from death and destruction, that's saying something.

In spite of rather impassioned pleas by those of us who loved it, I think they decided it didn't fit their brand so they never continued the series. IMHO part of the problem was that this was at the height of the Kate/Curran craze, so many of their readers were romance readers expecting actual romance, but this book is straight UF with nothing to soften the edges.
