Genesis: An Alter Arlo Bonus Novella Paperback – November 1, 2023

I could die happy right now. Nordika Night surprised us with the novella to end all novellas. “Genesis” is the prequel to “Alter Arlo” and man. I didn’t know no much I needed this in my life until i literally devoured it in record time.This novella is the before, how Cadoc and Zade arrive in Genesis and what they had to endure before calling it home. You 100% need to read it AFTER finishing “Alter Arlo.” I know, I know. It doesn’t seem to make much sense but trust me. READ AFTER NOT BEFORE!Nordika Night does not wrong and “Genesis” is just another perfect example of why this is true! This is not a spicy novella but you don’t miss it because of how deeply you get invested into Cadoc and Zade. Your heart will break for them so don’t expect rainbows and sunshine. Thank you Nordika for completing my soul with this story!Rating: 5/5⭐️Spice: .5/5🌶️🥵

I absolutely loved Alter Arlo so getting this little bonus addition was absolutely amazing! Fantastic to get the before Genesis story. So much pain and heartbreak. If you haven't read Alter Arlo, go read it now.

This was perfect. I love this world Nordika has created. So to get the why and how of Cadoc and Zade was everything. How they came to be at genesis. Why they went through so much. Just what I didn't know I wanted but did. It hit every level for me. I missed this world and I'm so glad Nordika gave us another tidbit of it and these fantastic characters!

This made me feel complete about everything! Loved this!!! I wanted more Cadoc and Zaden! This def made me cry and just what I wanted!

Cadoc and ZadeOh, people, prepare yourselves for this one. It had me choked up. Alter Arlo was a wildly amazing story. To read this now and get to know Cadoc and Zade was just so heartbreakingly crazy. It makes me want to immediately reread Alter Arlo. Seriously prepare yourselves.

Read this novella so fast. Alter Arlo was one of my favorite reads of this year and this was a great little bit of bonus content getting to see Zade and Cadocs journey to Genesis. Emotional and dark and heartbreaking... It made me want to read Alter Well again.

Quick and great read.As dark and depressing this world can be, I still want more. May re-read Arlo again.

I just finished my reread of Alter Arlo and decided it was time to read Genesis. Oh my gosh my poor heart was not prepared. I cried throughout the entire hour I read this. At one point I was crying hard enough I had to stop reading because I couldn’t see the words anymore.It definitely made me see Cadoc in a slightly different light. I didn’t expect to get the ick from him.But man, do we understand where these guys got their bond and strength from.

Alter Arlo is one of my favourite reads this year and when Nordika announced she was going to be doing a little prequel novella for Zaden and Cadoc I may have actually squealed.If you haven't read Alter Arlo yet what are you waiting for?! Go do it now. And once you finish you'll want to run and download this to read as well. You get to see the tragedies and heartbreaks that led our broken boys to Genesis and have a better understanding of their relationship.

I enjoyed this book. Definitely recommend it and the following book 👍🏻

Short and snappy, full of action. A great unraveling, the beginnings of a relationship changing between people. Read Alter Arlo first!

Genesis is the bonus novella for Alter Arlo.This is your vibe if you like:Twisty vibesCadoc/Zade from Alter ArloThis was a great step back into the Alter Arlo world. It's very different from Nordika's other books that she's written since then and its probably the thing I enjoy most about her writing. They're different. They're not carbon copies of her other works. This book might be a short baby one, but i don't think it lacked anything at all.If you're yet to read Alter Arlo, make sure you read it first. It might be listed as a prequel but I think it should absolutely be read after.
