FINALISTA DEL PREMIO EDGAR ALLAN POE 2021Y EN LOS PRIMEROS PUESTOS DE MÁS VENDIDOS EN ITALIA
«La reina del thriller italiano.»--Sandrone Dazieri
«Teresa Battaglia es uno de los personajes más conseguidos y certeros de la escena negra contemporánea.»--Javier Morales, Público La comisaria Teresa Battaglia duda si seguir ocultando a su equipo la enfermedad que se ceba con su memoria, cuando recibe una llamada desde una galería de arte: ha sido hallado un retrato de enorme valor atribuido a un pintor de culto, Alessio Andrian, cuya undécima y última obra se creía perdida. El cuadro, sin embargo, posee un detalle que ensombrece el descubrimiento: la pintura roja que dibuja el rostro de una joven es en realidad sangre humana y, según el análisis cromático, el pincel del artista se empapó en un corazón que aún latía. Teresa y su equipo tienen que averiguar qué sucedió en 1945, año en que se pintó el cuadro, cuando el autor se encontraba escondido en los bosques cercanos a la frontera entre Italia y Yugoslavia huyendo de los nazis. Battaglia, con una salud cada día más frágil, debe confiar en la ayuda de su colaborador Massimo Marini, pero pronto se dará cuenta de que ella no es la única que oculta un secreto inconfesable. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION ONE OF THE FINALISTS OF THE EDGAR ALLAN POE AWARD, 2021. RANKING HIGH AMONG ITALY'S BEST SELLERS LIST. "The queen of Italian thriller." --Sandrone Dazieri "Teresa Battaglia is one of the most unerringand well-crafted characters in contemporary noir."--Javier Morales, Público Sheriff Teresa Battaglia is wondering whether to tell her squad about this illness eating away her memory, when she receives a phone call from an art gallery. They found a portrait of immense value, attributed to a cult painter, Alessio Andrian, whose eleventh and last work was thought to be lost. The painting, however, has a detail darkening the find: the red paint in a young woman's face is actually human blood, and according to the chromatic analysis, the artist wet his brush in a still beating heart. Teresa and her team must find out what happened back in 1945, when the portrait was painted, when the artist hid from the Nazis in the woods between the Italian and Yugoslavian border. Battaglia, feeling her health weakening every day, must rely on her collaborator Massimo Marini, but will soon find out she is not the only one hiding an unspeakable secret.

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

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.
