„Welch eine Extravaganz!“

So reagierte der schon ältere Inhaber der Maison Lubin, Herr Paul Prot, auf den Parfümflakon in Form eines Elefanten, den man ihm auf den Schreibtisch gestellt hatte. Für eine Prinzessin, von der man glaubte, sie stamme aus Indien, hatte man sich bei Lubin in die Lektüre des indischen Dichters Valmiki vertieft. Als Zeichen seiner Ehrerbietung verglich er die Frau im Ramayana mit dem in den Augen der Inder edelsten Tier, dem Elefanten. Diese Idee erschien einem wohl erzogenen Franzosen zu Beginn der Goldenen Zwanziger höchst seltsam. Aber sie gefiel Kismet, der orientalischen Prinzessin, für die der neue Duft gedacht war.

Die schöne osmanische Spionin lachte über den kleinen Parfümflakon aus Kristall, der eigens für sie entworfen worden war. Er hatte die Form eines prächtigen Elefanten, ein Verweis auf Valmiki, den Verfasser des Ramayana, denn man hielt Kismet für eine indische Prinzessin. Spirituell und polyglott auftretend, pflegte sie das Geheimnis um ihre Herkunft. Einige Zeit war sie der Mittelpunkt der Pariser Abendgesellschaften der Goldenen Zwanziger. Dann verschwand sie und tauchte nie wieder auf. Geblieben ist nur die Erinnerung an die betörende Spur, die sie hinterließ, die des Dufts, den Lubin für sie kreierte.

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.

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5
