J’ai voulu savoir comment les choses s’étaient passées dans cette vie où je n’ai pas cessé de bouger, souvent malgré moi. Toutes ces villes où j’ai vécu (Port-au-Prince, Petit-Goâve, Montréal, New York, Miami, Paris, et j’ose imaginer Tokyo aussi), assez pour les intégrer en moi sans me réduire à une seule. Je suis passé, à peine étonné, du sud au nord, du rhum au vin, de l’été à l’hiver, jusqu’à me changer en cerisier en fleurs. J’ai franchi clandestinement les frontières de classes, de races ou encore celles qui séparent un pays d’un autre. J’ai accumulé diverses expériences au fil des jours ensoleillés ou pluvieux, mais je n’avais pas encore évalué ce parcours.

L’été dernier, dans un hôtel de Bornéo, j’ai découvert sous forme de réflexions fulgurantes, de haïkus langoureux, de descriptions hâtives d’un lieu, d’une situation ou d’un état d’esprit, ce qui s’était passé dans ma vie durant ce dernier demi-siècle. Lecteur horizontal, j’ai choisi de vivre dans ma baignoire ou dans mon lit sans quitter l’espoir qu’une inconnue frappe à ma porte. Je note que la plupart des gens veulent savoir ce que l’écrivain cache alors que je me contente de ce qu’il tente de me faire voir.Pour rester dans cette simplicité proche de l’enfance, j’ajouterai que je lis une page les yeux ouverts, pour la repasser dans ma tête les yeux fermés. L’eau chaude de la baignoire me permet de fuguer en regrettant de ne pas l’avoir fait à d’autres moments comme la fois où je n’ai pas pris cette petite route de terre qui m’appelait depuis si longtemps, et cela même si j’ignorais où elle m’aurait mené. Comprenant tardivement que la vie est une autoroute, je tente vainement d’en sortir en prenant le mauvais chemin au bon moment. Pour finalement découvrir que ces petites notes, comme des touches de couleur, dessinent un autoportrait naïf comme ces dessins d’enfant qui m’émeuvent tant. Ce livre m’aura pris plus de temps qu’aucun autre.

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

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.
