"Released in 1978, Soy La Ley by Robert y Su Banda is an obscure but sought-after slab of Colombian salsa dura with the special distinction of having the 'original' version of Álvaro José 'Joe' Arroyo's monster hit 'Rebelión' hidden in plain sight on the second side of the record. The band's leader, Roberto Antonio Urquijo Fonseca, is still active today and, hailing from Barranquilla, Colombia, is as steeped in the costeño sound of cumbia as he is in salsa. Roberto certainly has a perfect voice for salsa, bringing to mind that of the Boricua super star sonero Héctor Lavoe... On this album the previously mentioned 'Rebelión' of Joe Arroyo kicks off side two but bears the completely different title 'El Mulato' and is credited to Adela Martelo de Arroyo, Joe Arroyo's wife at the time (Arroyo was signed exclusively to Discos Fuentes). The arrangement, by Enrique Aguilar, is also quite different from 'Rebelión' with an introduction that sounds inspired by Tite Curet Alonso's composition 'Plantación Adentro' (from Willie Colon Presents Rubén Blades Metiendo Mano!, 1977) but it contains all the elements of Joe's later global smash with the exception of being rhythmically more of a cumbia than a salsa... With Michi Sarmiento's brilliant arrangement plus La Verdad's modern reinterpretation of the nearly decade old tune, 'Rebelión' became a mega-hit even in Asia and Africa and Arroyo's fame shot around the world and made him the international legend he remains to this day, eight years after his untimely demise. Besides the aforementioned 'El Mulato', the title track 'Soy La Ley' is a dance floor burner and comes from the pen of Joe Arroyo as well, as does 'Mi Cariño No Espera', which is another cumbia/salsa hybrid... Aside from the Arroyo originals, there is the super-hot guaguancó 'Son Candela' by the venerable Cuban singer/composer Joseíto Fernández, the guajira son 'En La Inmensa Soledad', made famous by Los Compadres, the upbeat sounding lament 'Preso Sin Sentencia', originally by Puerto Rican plenero and percussionist Rafael Ortiz Escuté (aka Joe Pappy), plus an absolutely burning version of Mexican crooner Armando Manzanero's 1967 hit 'Aquel Señor'. The record is rounded out by the salsa tune 'Si Ella Pregunta Por Mí', which was covered in 1980 by Orquesta Borinquen." -Pablo Yglesias aka DJ Bongohead Presented in facsimile artwork and pressed on 180 gram vinyl.

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.
