Un retrato estremecedor, empujado por una autenticidad feroz, acerca de la vida matrimonial, la vejez y los vínculos familiares.«En la escritura de Piedad Bonnett se concentran las virtudes que más admiro en la literatura: profundidad y concisión [...]. Lectores del mundo, lean este libro.» --Margarita García Robayo A sus sesenta y cuatro años, Emilia se enfrenta a la remodelación de su cocina. Su marido lo ha decidido por su cuenta y ella, que solo quiere estar tranquila con sus libros, se siente incapaz de oponer resistencia. Bonnett parte de este hecho cotidiano y aparentemente banal para construir una semblanza de la plácida y peligrosa insatisfacción, y de mujeres arrinconadas por muy distintos tipos de maltratos y silencios. El paso del tiempo, su acumulación y su peso, el aburguesamiento y la vejez (propia y ajena), y la imposibilidad de conocer realmente a quienes nos rodean empapan esta novela para obligarnos a mirar donde, a menudo, no queremos mirar: a lo que de verdad somos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A shocking portrayal, displayed with a fierce authenticity, about married life, old age, and family ties. "In Piedad Bonnett's writing I find all the virtues that I most admire in literature: depth and conciseness [...]. Readers of the world, you must read this book." 3/4Margarita Garcia Robayo At sixty-four years old, Emilia is facing the remodeling of her kitchen. Her husband has decided this on his own, and she, who just wants to be left alone with her books, feels unable to resist. Bonnett starts with this casual, mundane, and banal event to build a facade of docile and dangerous dissatisfaction, and of women cornered by different types of abuse and silence. The passage of time, the weight that it holds, gentrification, and old age (ours and others), and the inability of really knowing those around us, infuse this novel and forces us to look where we don't often want to look: to what we really are.

not bad
Format: Kindle
I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas.
But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way.
Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters.
That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception.
SPOILER:
The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured.
I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5
