Eliza May Drayden, het hoofdpersonage van 'Het lied van ooievaar en dromedaris', is al dood als de roman in het jaar 1847 in het Yorkshire dorpje Bridge Fowling begint. Ieder volgend hoofdstuk schuift ten opzichte van het voorgaande een stukje op in de tijd, totdat het verhaal in het elfde hoofdstuk in onze huidige tijd is aangeland. De roman vertelt dan ook niet over Eliza May Draydens leven, maar over haar roerige leven na de dood. De lezer leert Eliza May kennen via de levens van anderen, en via biografieën en verhandelingen over haar, want zij was de schrijfster van een uitzonderlijke roman, die tijdens haar leven werd verguisd, maar die in de loop van 170 jaar door steeds meer lezers als een meesterwerk wordt gezien. Over haar leven is bitter weinig bekend, de omstandigheden waaronder ze stierf zijn een mysterie, en naast haar roman is de enige tekst die ze heeft nagelaten een aantekenboekje met daarin geheimzinnige tekeningen, gedichten en tabellen. Anjet Daanje liet zich voor haar roman inspireren door het leven en werk van de negentiende-eeuwse schrijfster Emily Brontë. 'Het lied van ooievaar en dromedaris' borduurt voort op de ingenieuze verhaalstructuur van de roman 'Wuthering Heights'. Waar 'Wuthering Heights' twee vertellers heeft en het verhaal twee generaties en twee keer achttien jaar omspant, heeft 'Het lied van ooievaar en dromedaris' elf vertellers die de lezer meenemen in een verhaal dat zich over drie eeuwen uitstrekt. Als toegift verschijnt bij deze roman de dichtbundel 'Dijende gronden, met door Anjet Daanje vertaalde poëzie van Emily Brontë aangevuld met eigen gedichten van Daanje.Shipping Notes

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.

ABSOLUTELY A MUST for Omegaverse Girls!!!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Jillian West and her books!!! I’m so happy I already bought book two and now I have to buy the others for the Assurance Security series!!
Not gonna lie Val kind of annoyed me at the beginning but she grew on me!! Her men are chef’s kisses!!! Holt annoys me some but I can let it slide. I already bought part two so I’m going to be reading that in between work phone calls!!!! DON’T TELL MY BOSS 😂😂😂😂

Baby bumps and bodyguards
Format: Kindle
Dark, emotional, and unexpectedly tender, Not Ready is an omegaverse romance that delivers found family feels, fierce protectiveness, and a very pregnant heroine who refuses to break. Vale’s on the run from a stalker, but lands in the arms of three private security alphas, cue the swoony tension, fake marriage twist, and slow-burn heat.
It’s a little gritty, a little soft, and a whole lot addictive. If you love protective alphas, high stakes, and heroines with quiet strength, this one’s a must-read.

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.
