Chinelo Okparantas erster Roman ist Kriegs- und Liebesroman zugleich. Die Coming-out-Geschichte des Mädchens Ijeoma beginnt 1968, ein Jahr nach Beginn des Biafra-Kriegs in Nigeria. Die Bevölkerung leidet unter dem immer brutaler werdenden Krieg und einer unvorstellbaren Hungersnot. Ijeomas Vater kommt bei einem Bombenangriff ums Leben. Ihre Mutter kann nicht mehr für sie sorgen, und sie wird in ein entferntes Dorf zu Freunden der Familie geschickt. Dort lernt sie Amina kennen, die gleichalt und auch alleine ist. Zwischen Ijeoma, einer christlichen Igbo, und Amina, einer muslimischen Hausa, beginnt eine Freundschaft, die zur Leidenschaft wird. Als diese aus ethnischen und gesellschaftlichen Grunden unmögliche Beziehung entdeckt wird, muss Ijeoma zurück zu ihrer Mutter, die sie streng religiös erzieht. Ijeoma ist verzweifelt und findet bei der älteren Ndidi Trost, die sie mit der geheimen homosexuellen Szene der Gemeinde bekannt macht. Doch der gesellschaftliche Druck und die Angst davor entdeckt zu werden, sind zu groß, und so heiratet sie Chibundu, einen Freund aus Kindheitstagen. Okparanta stellt einfühlsam die Persönlichkeitskonflikte dar, in die Ijeoma als heranwachsende Frau in der nigerianischen Gesellschaft gestürzt wird: ihre lesbische Identität, die Niederlage des unabhängigen Biafra, das Tabu einer Beziehung zwischen Igbo und Hausa, der tiefe Fall einer Studentin aus der höheren Mittelklasse in die Armut und die allgegenwärtige Macht der Kirche mit ihren Dogmen, die gleichgeschlechtliche Liebe als abscheuliches Laster brandmarkt. Hinzu kommt die vom Staat ausgehende Gewalt, die mit rigorosen Gesetzen Homosexuelle verfolgt. Ein außergewöhnlicher, sehr aktueller Roman über das schwierige Erwachsenwerden einer jungen Frau in Nigeria. Politischer Hintergrund: 1967 begann im Südosten Nigerias der Biafra-Krieg, nachdem sich die Region Biafra fur unabhängig erklärt hatte. Hauptursache fur diesen Krieg waren die andauernden Konflikte zwischen dem christlichen Igbo-Volk und den muslimischen Volksgruppen der Hausa und Fulani. Der Krieg endete 1970, forderte zweieinhalb Millionen Todesopfer und wurde in Nigeria nie richtig aufgearbeitet.

Pretty Darn Good
Format: Kindle
So I’ve been on a omega kick and this definitely hit the spot. Madison was frustrating at times with how she acted towards Lucas, Gray, and Rian. It was like she said towards the end, she didn’t believe she deserved nice things. It would have been nice to hear from her best friends again. They kind of were there in the beginning and the gone except for mention of text messages received from them. I feel like her friends would have been great help in encouraging Madison to go with the pack and never give Brent another chance because he was toxic. I loved Rian. His personality was awesome. His humor. His ability to make Madison comfortable whenever she was feeling overwhelmed. And the fact he fell for her and she fell for him first. They are cute together. I do feel like Lucas was the odd man out though. Like Lucas didn’t develop as much of a relationship with Madison. I would have really liked to see more development in the relationship between them. It was also the same with him and Rian. There is really no relationship displayed. Most of the relationship being displayed is between Rian and Gray. Nevertheless, I loved reading about the dynamic that came to fruition during the entirety of this story. Madison finally got her happiness. And Brent finally got punched in the face. Everyone got exactly what they deserve.

Pack's Promise was okay but not great
Format: Kindle
Pack's Promise was okay but not great. I won't recommend it to anyone that I know. PRO: * Very likable characters * Lots of steamy scenes that are written very well * The spelling and grammar are good * The punctuation is good with the exception of using hyphens instead of commas. Lots of hyphens. Lots and lots of hyphens. CON: * Almost no interactions with any characters outside of Madison and the pack * Nearly no plot. They meet, get together for a heat, agree to make it permanent, done * Quite a few typos such as extraneous words, missing words and words out of order THINGS TO KNOW: * More steamy scenes than storytelling * A lot of MM & MMM, some MFMM during heat

Fluffy and Nice Omegaverse
Format: Kindle
… this would have made 5 stars but for 2 reasons. A.) there were quite a few typos; misspelled words, missing quotations, “the his” mistakes, and various signs that maybe a proofread would do good. B.) the writing was quite textbook. Late blooming omega is struggling with her new self, finds a absurdly wealthy pack of alphas, every thing is almost insta-love but she resists, then decides to love herself and let everyone be happy. Rian was my favourite (obviously the author’s favourite too because he got the most page time) but I wish we could see more of his CEO side? He went to work maybe ONCE the entire time. Gray was supposed to be the “growly one” but he turned out to be puppy dog. Lucas was a genius brainiac doctor - but also super alpha with an aggressive hindbrain with a breeding k*nk?? And then there was no actual “breeding”?? Spice 3/5 - normally omegaverse books are super high on messy smut but this was tamer. Romance 3/5 - insta-love that was then resisted because of personal hangup’s Plot 2/5 - weird paced head hopping, showing the same scene from different POV’s that made me feel like it was 2 steps backward, 1 step forward. Humour 4/5 - there were a dozen lines that genuinely made me chuckle out loud Would have been five stars but the lack of proofreading and the predictable plot made me unable to get up to ADORED IT level - four stars is still and official ENJOYED IT, y’all. This isn’t a bad rating. The “Club Heat” has intriguing possibilities so I’m going to give the second one a shot.

Fantastic writing and non-stop action
Format: Kindle
This is a promising, fantastic beginning to what will be a 4-book series. Some readers may be content to read only the first 2 books, but I think you'll find that the story is so good that you'll want to keep reading books 3 and 4. Book 1 is about omega Elvana's introduction to the "Starling" brothers and their search for another missing person, Kelly. It's a bit of a rocky start, with deception and betrayal a key element. Hardly an auspicious beginning. Each member has their own path and purpose in the pack. Their interactions and the resulting narrative are so well-written that I found it difficult to put down. There is a cliffhanger that will have you reaching for book 2 as you finish, so make sure you have it on hand.
