Rauw verhaal over kinderarbeid in de mijnen en de hoopvolle strijd van een vrouw voor gerechtigheid. Ellen Marie Wiseman schrijft over de lichtpuntjes in de zwartste bladzijden van de geschiedenis.

'De brekerjongens' van Ellen Marie Wiseman: het rauwe verhaal over kinderarbeid in de mijnen en de hoopvolle strijd van een jonge vrouw voor gerechtigheid.

1912. Na het overlijden van haar ouders keert de 19-jarige Emma Malloy noodgedwongen terug naar haar geboorteplaats Coal River. Daar aangekomen wordt ze als een bediende behandeld door haar oom en tante en krijgt ze helemaal niets voor haar werk in de familiewinkel. Maar ze heeft het goed in vergelijking met de armoedige mijnwerkers die alleen tegen schandalig hoge prijzen voedsel, kleren en gereedschap kunnen kopen en de mensen met schulden die ze met lege handen terug naar huis moet sturen.

Maar het meest hartverscheurend om te zien zijn de brekerjongens die in het stadje leven; jonge kinderen die de hele dag kool uitzoeken aan een lopende band tussen gevaarlijke machines. Hun met roet besmeurde gezichten herinneren Emma aan haar broertje dat ze lang geleden verloor en er breekt iets in haar. Ze begint met het achterlaten van pakketten met voedsel bij de krotten en scheldt mijnwerkers hun schulden kwijt.

Met haar daden haalt ze zich de woede van de mijneigenaar en de politie op de hals, maar het leidt ook tot een verbond met een charismatische mijnwerker die aanbiedt haar te helpen de waarheid boven tafel te krijgen. De grens tussen wat legaal is en wat rechtvaardig vervaagt, en Emma riskeert alles om haar geweten te volgen.

Ellen Marie Wiseman schrijft over de lichtpuntjes in de zwartste bladzijden van de geschiedenis. Eerder schreef ze 'De pruimenboom' en 'Wat ze achterliet'.

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.

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.
