THE NEWS ISb.
What makes Hakeem Abdul Rauf Kiani’s short stories so pleasurable and fascinating? It is the force, directness, honesty and accuracy with which he depicts the most essential aspects of human experience.
He plumbs deeper depths of the psyche. His book of short stories collection titled ‘People Burning in Ice’, translated into English by Mohammad Akram, in its entirety, not only entertains but also provides insight into forms and secrecies of human nature. His short stories such as Justification, The Mosque, Majestic, and Miss Call reveal.
Despite belonging to the classical tradition of fiction, which believed in storytelling, thus assigning centrality to the story, Kiani traverses a literary path of his own. He practices it to great perfection.
He is not noisy. He tells his stories in a detached way without trying to put his ideology in his characters’ mouths. He crystallizes his personal experiences so well in his short stories that make them interesting.
Kiani’s mastership is not in the idea itself but the building of the plot of the story that he does with graceful conviction and patience. He abstains from the influence of any patronizing literary force and keeps himself away from such effect. He does not believe in copying the trend and remains focused on his art of storytelling.
While writing he is never in a hurry and uncivilized in his expression. True to his moderate temperament, he writes softly, aiming for spotless expression. He has his own way of writing. He stands distinguished for his sense of serenity and restraint.
His well-knit stories steeped in the realist mode of expression are his real strength. He makes use of realistic details and transforms them into delightful lifelike accounts of situations carrying deep social significance. His skill is at his best when he writes on social issues.
In his short stories, Kiani often exposes shortcomings, weaknesses, and hypocrisy in human beings. However, his tone is never sarcastic or venomous.
His approach to the human heart and soul is amazing. I could mention the breadth and depth of his range, his skill at making the story characters seem flawless, the fact that though they inhabit the same place and era — each of them is different from the others. His ability to persuade the readers that human nature is varied is remarkable.
Hakeem Abdul Rauf Kiani’s imaginings are not wild; he writes about men and women of the soil and their behavioral patterns. His short stories seem not only plausible but also convincing; his characters seem real to us, vibrant, and abundantly contemporary.
Kiani’s uncanny skill at revealing the deepest emotions of characters in his short stories; the ambition and insight that suffuses their small moments and; the subtlety with which he meticulously portrays his mysterious characters is marvelous.

Slightly repetitive but I did love some things
Format: Kindle
I love this type of story. And omegaverse is one of my all time favorite genres. But there are a few things that pulled me out of my enjoyment while I was reading. It was repetitive at times as well as struggled with telling not showing. So we didn’t always feel like we were experiencing things with the main character. There were also some plot holes but they may still be answered in part 2.
Now this isn’t to be said I didn’t enjoy parts of the story. I loved the almost instant love between Mila and Oliver. And how he started changing around her.

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
