¿HASTA DÓNDE LLEGA EL AMOR DE UNA MADRE? Ha desaparecido Lucas, el niño más famoso de España. Con más de un millón de seguidores en redes sociales, protagoniza un popular anuncio de galletas junto a Sweet Bunny, un enorme y enigmático conejo de peluche blanco. Candela, una teniente de la Guardia Civil en plena crisis vital, toma las riendas del caso y comienza una trepidante cuenta atrás para determinar si se trata de un secuestro, un caso de violencia vicaria o si podría estar relacionado con los peligros del sharenting -la exposición de menores por parte de sus padres en internet-. En su búsqueda por resolver el misterio tendrá que sortear las intrusiones de Adriana, la madre del niño, y Judith, su hermana adolescente, ambas empeñadas en ser influencers de éxito. La cría es una historia inquietante, turbia y aterradora. Un duelo desgarrador entre dos madres que crían a sus hijos de manera opuesta planteando un gran interrogante: ¿qué es más peligroso: la exposición en las redes o intentar mantenerlos al margen? Comienza la pesadilla. Una vez más Pablo Rivero, con su voz única y su estilo cinematográfico, construye con precisión un rompecabezas que pone el dedo en la llaga en temas sociales de máxima actualidad. La cría no es solo un thriller trepidante, es también una experiencia de lectura extrema. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION HOW FAR CAN A MOTHER'S LOVE GO? Lucas has disappeared, he is Spain's most famous boy. He has over a million followers on social media and stars in a popular cookie TV ad alongside Sweet Bunny, a huge and puzzling white stuffed rabbit. Candela, a Civil Guard lieutenant amid a vital personal crisis, takes charge of the case and begins a fast-paced countdown to determine if it was kidnapping, a case of vicarious violence, or if it could be related to the dangers of sharenting -the overexposure of minors by their parents on the Internet. In her quest to solve the mystery, she will have to sidestep Adriana's intrusions, the boy's mother, and Judith's, his teenage sister, both determined to be successful influencers. La cría/The Childis a disturbing, murky, and terrifying story. A heartbreaking duel between two mothers who raise their children in opposite ways, raising a big question: what is more dangerous: overexposure on social media or trying to keep them completely out? The nightmare begins. Pablo Rivero, with his unique voice and cinematographic style, once again builds a puzzle that shines the spotlight on the sore spot of social issues these days. La cría/The Childisn't just a fast-paced thriller, it's also an extreme reading experience.Shipping Notes

Strong Omegaverse Comfort and a Attention Grabbing Plot
Format: Kindle
Jillian West never misses when it comes to Omegaverse, and Not Ready is no exception. This story was the perfect blend of cozy comfort and emotional depth while still delivering a strong plot.
Vale is such a powerful heroine, she is strong, capable, and determined but I love that she still allows her pack to love and take care of her. It’s that balance of independence and vulnerability that makes her so relatable.
The relationship dynamics were amazing: Bishop is steadfast and completely head over heels, Mercy is skeptical but protective in his own way, and Holt is the hesitant one whose slow fall is so satisfying to watch unfold.
The romance hits that sweet spot between insta-love and cautious build, keeping me hooked the entire way through. And that ending. Oh my god, the cliffhanger! I need the next book in this duet immediately.

Interesting
Format: Kindle
So I will say I enjoyed the story, for sure had its moments where it dragged but it was a great story. I really liked that omegas picked their alphas/make the pack. Normally the Alphas make it and the omega fits in with them which is great but I enjoyed this new version where all the power basically went to the omega. It was a nice change of pace. I can admit some of the weird bedroom stuff with her being pregnant was odd, it’s really not hard to do stuff when pregnant (I know I’ve had two and it’s normal and even encouraged at the end especially if you want the baby out). But I like the story as a whole and will read the second, I do hope the next one isn’t dragged bc it stopped being action or tense after she met her alphas and I don’t think it was brought up or properly done when they tried to do it. More sweet after she left.

I’m a little disappointed.
Format: Kindle
I usually like Jillian West’s books but this one was missing a lot for me. The pregnancy didn’t come across as real. She’s on her feet for 12 hour days but is perfectly healthy at 8 months pregnant? Yet the week she moves in all of a sudden she’s not? She is planning on actually running during one of the plot buildups. But at 8 months pregnant that’s incredibly hard to do. The lack of breathing ability and lung space, the change in body center, mass, and gravity. All of it prohibits running, unless you’re an athlete this didn’t come off as at all realistic.
I didn’t feel any connection with the alphas. There wasn’t any emotional connection. It could be because of the tense it was written in. But I didn’t get any deep feelings out of this. It came across as checking off boxes. Even the spicy scenes weren’t really believable for me. I wanted to see them fall for her, and it just kind of all fizzled. Even Bishop.
One thing I did really like was the ending. I did not see it coming and I’m interested in reading book two because of it. But on the whole this book was mostly disappointing for me.

Vale is an 8 month pregnant omega working as a waitress at a strip club and a cam girl. She starts to get very creepy vibes from a regular at the club, and her baby daddy ghosted her. She has had an online relationship with a man named Bishop through her cam girl status. One night, bishop was paying to watch her sleep and ansthe creepy regular Andrew break in and watch her sleep he tells vale to come to him at his business now. She flees and finds herself at a large security company with some.hot of alphas who are there to help her. This imegaverse is a little different than I have read, but I am thoroughly enjoying it. Vale is not a traditional omega she was raised by a single beta mom, and the alphas are not normal alphas they have never really loved pack life. But they are ruthless mercenaries. They need her, and she needs them. I love the aspect of the stalker and now the plot twists at the end, so so good. Sometimes, it seemed a little slow and stale mated, but since this a duet, I think It was just her starting to have Vale get to know her alpha suitors. Cliffhanger for sure with this one.

That ending 😫
Format: Kindle
I fell into a false sense of security and really thought this was gearing towards a happy ending. Then I realized there’s no work they don’t punish Andrew. I really liked Vale’s character. I don’t normally read books with pregnancy but going into this knowing she was pregnant made it more enjoyable for me.
I loved Bishops devotion to her and her happiness. I also loved that Holt and Mercy couldn’t fight their attraction to her. I love scent matches so very much. I’m so curious to see how this duet will end up. And I need to pay more attention and notice that a book I’m starting is a duet to begin with lol
