Native American history has been traditionally presented as a dead past, a civilization that ended in 1890 with the massacre of more than one hundred fifty Sioux at Wounded Knee, the last major armed conflict between Indians and the US government.
In The Heartbeat of Wounded Knee, Ojibwe author and academic David Treuer shatters that myth. Through a brilliant blend of historical research, eye-opening interviews with a broad cross-section of tribal members, and moving personal reflection on growing up Indian, Treuer tells the true story of Native resilience and resistance to being written out of modern American history. The struggle of Native Americans to preserve their tribes, their languages and cultures, and their very existence is intense, complicated, and often heart-wrenching. From broken treaties to land seizures to forcing Indian children to live in state-run boarding schools, the history of treatment toward Native Americans is bloody.
But this groundbreaking book shows that despite all efforts to scrub the existence of Native Americans from the record of American history, the heartbeat of Native American life, identity, and self-rule beats steady and strong.

A good read
Format: Kindle
Multiple points of view. 3 Alpha men and an Omega male. She is a Beta in training for a new program placing betas in Alpha/Omega packs. Mila is only doing the program for the money to take care of her dad. She wasn't expecting to fall for a pack but when she sees this packs Omega she is done for. There is just something about him. His Alphas are good looking as well. Too bad she is hiding a secret and their government is acting shady. I liked it and can't wait to see where their story goes.

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.
