Author Introduction | Eve Above Story

Eve Above Story is a proficient writer who has authored primarily "Alpha" novels, including "My Hockey Alpha" (the one under review), "The Lycan's Runaway Bride," "One Night with My Alpha Ex," and "Alpha's Surrogate Wife."

1. Theme: "The Least Expected Luna!"

"My Hockey Alpha" explores the contrasting values between the life of a "lover boy" and that of a werewolf "Alpha."

A man like Enzo may initially seem like your regular womanizer. The caveat is that he's neither human nor enjoys being around one. He's actually a werewolf, and, in the werewolf mating system, there is no place for womanizers, so every wolf has either a "chosen" mate or a "fated" mate.

His overt dislike for humans dissipates once he meets Nina, whom he starts seeing as his mate, even though she's seemingly not the same kind as him.

This takes us to one of this novel's main undergirding themes: "The Least Expected Luna." This would refer to not only Nina's apparent humanity but also her status within the student population. She's not portrayed as the type of girl who'd get the attention of a lot of guys, yet she would end up dating her university's most popular person (not an uncommon trope).

2. Characters: "The Hockey Alpha' and His Mate"

The tale centers around Nina and her new werewolf lover Enzo, though the surrounding characters are not much less interesting.

Let's first describe the protagonists:

Nina Harper

Nina is a young woman with horrible luck when it comes to relationships. Her latest heartbreak involves a young and very handsome hockey player called Justin.

She is not your typical "popular girl" but has rather been a victim of bullying and mockery throughout most of her life. She also has fantastic healing skills "surpassing human understanding" (at least according to Enzo).

Enzo Rivers

Enzo is the most popular guy on campus and captain of the hockey team. However, he's no regular male but actually a werewolf, one who prefers to be among his own kind. In addition, he's the head of a company his father bought to undertake business in the human world.

He's wont not to have sex with the same girl twice. That habit would change once he meets Nina.

 Justin

Justin is Nina's boyfriend at the beginning of the novel, though he ends up cheating on her with Lisa. While not as popular as Enzo, he's still quite coveted among the ladies.

Other Characters:

Lisa: The cheerleader captain, Enzo's ex-girlfriend, and Justin's sexual partner.

Jessica: One of Nina's best friends, with a very upbeat personality.

Lori: Another of Nina's friends: She's more into Goth culture and consistently portrays a somber attitude.

3. Point of View: "Let the Alpha and Luna Speak for Themselves!"

The entire story in "My Hockey Alpha" is told from the characters' perspectives. They narrate the events as having happened already.

4. The Plot: "From Underdog to Potential Luna?"

The plot begins at Nina's 18th birthday party, wherein her 2-month-old relationship with Justin is planned to be announced. Nonetheless, to Nina's disappointment, Justin stalls the announcement as much as he can.

Both lovers get drunk with their respective friends. Alas, Nina is still sober enough to recognize her boyfriend as he's having sex with Lisa (the cheerleader captain) on her bed! This prompts her to call the relationship off immediately.

Next, she sits at the bar and tosses the phone away. At that moment, Enzo approaches and starts to hit on her, inviting her to his room. She's a bit hesitant at first since she's not a fan of one-night stands.

At the same time, she's determined to take revenge for what Justin did. Little did she foresee that Enzo would fall in love with her. She ends up smitten by him after seeing how he treats her in bed, with a delicacy one wouldn't expect from a womanizer.

Down the road, she finds out that both Enzo and Justin are werewolves.

5. Hottest Chapters in "My Hockey Alpha"

Chapters 22 and 23 are special in that Nina finally finds out about Enzo's true nature, though she'd still be in denial of this for a while.

In chapter 70, Nina witnesses Enzo's transformation from human to werewolf, making for yet another awesome scene!

6. Writing Style: "Hits the Five Hole!"

The writing in this novel is not necessarily the most enthralling, but it hits the right "scoring areas" so people can easily follow through the plot and remain engaged.

Is "My Hockey Alpha" the Equivalent of a "Bar Down" Goal?

"My Hockey Alpha" may miss the mark in some spots, but it still stands as one of the best "Alpha" novels on GoodNovel. Everything, from the pacing to the writing style, is superbly achieved, and readers will be guaranteed to scroll through the chapters faster than one can say "hockey"!
