Nabokovs vierzehnter Roman - der erste aus der Zeit nach «Lolita» - gibt sich als die kommentierte Ausgabe eines 999 Zeilen langen Gedichts mit dem Titel «Fahles Feuer», verfasst von John Shade, einem bedächtigen neuenglischen Lyriker und Professor, der von einem Mörder erschossen wurde, ehe er die letzte, die tausendste Zeile zu Papier bringen konnte. Der Herausgeber ist sein Kollege, Nachbar und angeblicher Freund Charles Kinbote. Dessen Kommentar verfehlt jedoch Shades ernstes Poem, in dem es um den Selbstmord der schwierigen und hässlichen Tochter, um den Tod und die Wahrscheinlichkeit eines Lebens danach geht, auf eine so dreiste wie groteske Weise. Kinbote gibt sich nämlich als der exilierte König von Zembla zu erkennen, Carl der Vielgeliebte, der Shade nicht dazu bringen konnte, seine Lebensgeschichte aufzuschreiben, und der es nun in Form von Anmerkungen zu «Fahles Feuer» selber tut. Ihm galt, so meint er, auch die Kugel, die Shade tötete. Freilich ist zweifelhaft, ob es sich so verhält. Nabokov lockt den Leser auf Rätselgänge, Licht des fahlen Feuers flackert von Spiegel zu Spiegel, Echos erklingen: ein Virtuosenstück, «eine Amalgamierung von Ernst und Spiel, einer anrührenden menschlichen Geschichte mit dem kühlen Kalkül einer Problemschachaufgabe». Dieter E. Zimmer

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.

A good read
Format: Kindle
A good read, just fluffy cuteness, no antagonism. I like all the characters. It could have used another round of editing however, glanfds being one error that cracked me up, and my personal pet peeve was that the author kept using the word fill instead of feel, which I promise you are not interchangeable haha, but it's definitely better than the majority of books I read on here mistake-wise.

amazing
Format: Kindle
Knot the Bride was a fantastic read! The characters were all amazing and well-developed. It was easy to like them all. Sophia, Luca, Nick, and Gavin were all perfect for each other. It was such a charming story that had me hooked the entire time. I did wish there were POVs from Luca, Nick, and Gavin but it was still an amazing book without it. I am excited to read the next book in the Willowside Omegaverse series! This is definitely a must-read for fans of omegaverse romance!. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

3 Star Read,
Format: Kindle
This book wasn't bad, but wasn't my cup of tea. It's highly disappointing because the storyline is so original. There is no real conflict or resolution, so the entire thing feels flat. As a lover of omegaverse books, I know there is a ton of variety out there, and ov is really up to the author. But this one is weird. Omegas have multiple scent glands all over their bodies and go into week long heats every month. Alphas have knots in the middle of their shaft instead of the base, and the knot doesn't always swell, no explanation of when or why. It doesn't engage at all when the mouth is in play. I also didn't enjoy the author's writing style. Each paragraph is only 1 or 2 sentences long, and the entire book reads very stacato. The conversations are stiff and unnatural feeling. Everything is very repetitive, both in word choice and in thought. The same thing is repeated 3 or 4 times over a single page, multiple times over. I ended up doing so much skimming. The first 50% of the book is all slow burn, and the last 50% is almost straight mediocre spice. This wouldn't have been all bad if the grammar and spelling errors didn't start at the exact same time. Tongue is repeatedly misspelled in the middle of the spice.
