If I did not love Anna Fury so much, I would send her a bill for ruined underwear, excessive water use, and boxes of tissues.

I had thought that Wake Up Alpha, Book Two of The Alpha Compound series, destroyed me, but apparently Wide Awake, Book Three, came to ask the previous books to hold its beer.

The book picks up where the second one left off. The compound is recovering from the Task Force attack. Our heroes Brady and Connor are trying to help wherever they can, but Brady bears the burden of helping the compound residents mentally as the resident therapist and Connor still has a serious and lingering eye injury. They are also trying to figure out how to tell their brothers about their relationship.

Meanwhile, Carmen just got evicted and decided to find one of the abandoned vacation homes up north. After she gets hurt, Connor and Brady end up bringing her back to the compound.

The three main characters bring on so much wonderful but heart-aching angst, and I am all over it. They bring such relatable trepidations, fears, hope, and, most importantly, love to the table, and Anna Fury does a fantastic job of creating a wonderful and thoughtful representation of a triad relationship. Her care for making sure there was an equal balance of love and attention among the three projected so well in the story.

I love that each character in this book and in this series bring unique personalities, experiences, and perspectives. I want Connor to be my best friend; he's so easygoing but fiercely protective. I even light up when he smiles in the story; his joy is just that infectious. Broody Brady just makes you want to hug him for all of the pain and worries he keeps in his head and heart.  And sassy Carmen. I adore fearless women who are not afraid to fight for what they want, and Anna writes the best of them.

And the spice. Oh, the spice. If you just read this book for nothing but the steamy moments, it would be so worth it. I would not recommend it because you would be missing out on a phenomenal story with amazing world-building, but if that's your jam, you will still get a wonderful, fulfilling experience. 

I cannot stop recommending this series, and this book is no different. I have started my countdown to Book Four, because this series just makes you want to crave more moments with these wonderful characters.

ABOUT THE BOOK

My life hangs by a perilous thread. The Awaken Virus began turning men into mindless beasts three years ago. They ravaged and burned and killed, and humanity hasn’t been safe since.

Carmen
Bouncing between friends’ apartments and the shelter was hard enough. But now women are being abducted right off the streets by Awakened. That’s why I decided to get out of New York and head for the forest upstate–I can be alone there–alone and safe.

Imagine my horror when an Awakened male saunters right into my new home, flirting like a lunatic and offering unsolicited gardening advice. Connor claims I’m his omega, and offers to introduce me to our “mate”. Hard pass. My reservations are confirmed when I meet Brady and he tries to rip my head off.

What makes this even worse is the Awakened Task Force breathing down the alphas’ necks. I came out here to feel secure, but safety is an illusion the longer I stay around the alphas.

There’s just one problem. Connor and I can’t keep our hands off one another. And every time we slip up and touch, it hurts Brady. Discovering me is tearing their bond apart.

One of them wants to kiss me, and the other wants to kill me. Can I figure out what’s between us before the Task Force destroys it all?

Wide Awake is the third book in the Alpha Compound series, by Anna Fury. This dystopian MMF omegaverse romance features a quiet heroine and two alpha males finding their happily ever after.
