«El que hace sombra, pierde el cuerpo y pierde la sombra --dijo Lord Dixon--. Apunte esa frase, camarada, que es de mi propia cosecha.»

Estamos en pleno siglo XXI, en una Nicaragua en la que se están viviendo unas revueltas populares que son reprimidas brutalmente por el gobierno, apoyado en el siniestro brazo ejecutor del jefe de los servicios secretos. El inspector Dolores Morales debe enfrentarse en la distancia con ese ser terrible apodado Tongolele, responsable último de su exilio en Honduras, que mueve con frialdad y cinismo, en parte gracias a los consejos adivinatorios de su madre, muchos hilos de la desquiciada política del país.

La magistral prosa de Sergio Ramírez va desvelando poco a poco un entramado turbio, lleno de secretismos, traiciones y oscuras maniobras al que tendrá que enfrentarse el inspector Morales, respaldado por el inefable Lord Dixon, doña Sofía Smith y el resto de sus socios. Porque, en esa Nicaragua siempre turbulenta, cualquier paso puede darse en falso y provocar el derrumbe definitivo de aquel que decida enfrentarse de algún modo, por ridículo que sea, al poder establecido.

«Aúna la narración, la poesía y el rigor del observador y el actor y refleja la viveza de la vida cotidiana convirtiendo la realidad en una obra de arte, todo ello con excepcional altura literaria y en pluralidad de géneros.» Jurado del Premio Cervantes

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

It is the XXI century in a Nicaragua experiencing numerous popular uprisings which are being brutally repressed by the government, and supported by the sinister head of the secret services. From afar, inspector Dolores Morales must confront the terrible Tongolele, as he is nicknamed, who was ultimately responsible for Morales' exile in Honduras, and who moves many threads in the country's deranged politics with coldness and cynicism, partly thanks to his mother's prophetic advice.

Sergio Ramírez' masterful prose gradually reveals a murky network, full of secrets, betrayals, and dark plots that inspector Morales will have to face, backed by the indescribable Lord Dixon, Ms. Sofía Smith, and his other partners. Because, in an always volatile Nicaragua, missteps can be taken easily and cause the ultimate collapse of those who decide to confront the establishment in power.

"It combines narration, poetry, and the rigor of the observer and the actor [and] reflects the liveliness of everyday life, turning reality into a work of art, all with exceptional literary excellence and in a plurality of genres." -Cervantes Prize Jury

Slightly repetitive but I did love some things
Format: Kindle
I love this type of story. And omegaverse is one of my all time favorite genres. But there are a few things that pulled me out of my enjoyment while I was reading. It was repetitive at times as well as struggled with telling not showing. So we didn’t always feel like we were experiencing things with the main character. There were also some plot holes but they may still be answered in part 2. Now this isn’t to be said I didn’t enjoy parts of the story. I loved the almost instant love between Mila and Oliver. And how he started changing around her.

delightful read
Format: Kindle
What a delightful read. The characters are awesome, the plot was so good, I loved it. I was intrigued and it kept me wanting more. Told in multiple pov, the book sucks you in and doesn’t let go. I cannot wait to read the next book.

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
