«Aunque en mi nombre hay agua purificadora, en mis manos y en mi boca todo quema.» Anna Ajmátova Para Anna, encontrar su voz fue la única manera posible de estar en el mundo. Nunca imaginó los efectos de su poesía sutil y afilada en tantas personas distintas. Ésta es la historia del torbellino de pasiones que desencadenó en cada una. Desde la envidia del hombre más poderoso y vengativo de su época hasta la atormentada admiración de la mujer encargada de vigilarla y delatarla. Desde la ciudad de San Petersburgo previa a la Revolución, como en un teatro de asombros, nos volvemos testigos de su relación compleja con los creadores de su tiempo y, sobre todo, con el poeta más reconocido de su generación, Nicolai Gumilyov, su primer esposo, asesinado en 1921, en uno de los primeros procesos masivos de inocentes planeados por Lenin y que se volverían recurrentes en los años del terror estalinista. Una década antes, ella misma nos cuenta su intensa y breve historia de amor, en París, con Amedeo Modigliani. Novela collage, novela documental, expediente de hechos y rumores escritos con una poesía retenida en pequeñas hojas de corteza de abedul, como se hacía en el gulag. Una novela sobre el poder de las palabras. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "Although in my name there is purifying water, in my hands and in my mouth everything burns. " Anna AkhmatovaFor Anna, finding her voice was the only possible way to be in the world. She never imagined the effects her sharp and subtle poetry would have on many different people. This is the story of the whirlwind of passions that it unleashed in each one. From the envy of the most powerful and vengeful man of her time to the tormented admiration of the woman in charge of watching over and denouncing her. From the city of Saint Petersburg prior to the Revolution, as in a theater of astonishment, we become witnesses to her complex relationship with the creators of her time and, above all, with the most recognized poet of her generation, Nicolai Gumilyov, her first husband, murdered in 1921, in one of the first mass innocent trials planned by Lenin and which would become recurrent in the years of the Stalinist terror. A decade earlier, she herself tells us of her intense and brief love story in Paris, with Amedeo Modigliani. A collage novel, a documentary novel, a record of facts and rumors written with a poetry retained in small pieces of birch bark, as was done in the gulag. A novel about the power of words.

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.
