La nueva gran novela de Paula Hawkins, autora de La chica del tren.


Cuando la Tate Modern descubre que el hueso utilizado en una de las esculturas más famosas de la célebre y ya fallecida artista Vanessa Chapman es humano y no pertenece a un animal, como se creía, todas las miradas se centran en ella y en la misteriosa desaparición de su marido, Julian.


Temiendo la posible devaluación de la obra de la artista, Douglas Lennox, director de la Fundación Fairburn, envía al conservador James Becker a la remota isla escocesa en la que Vanessa vivía para investigar qué oculta el macabro hallazgo. Pero lo que parecía una empresa fácil pronto se convierte en algo mucho más oscuro, mucho más peligroso y mucho más imprevisible que puede poner en peligro su propia vida.


Ambientada en una isla escocesa accesible solo las horas del día en que baja la marea, La hora azul explora la tensión entre la libertad del genio creativo y la presión social, y señala con aterradora precisión cómo la luz con la que vemos a la gente que queremos a veces oculta su peor oscuridad. Una novela magistral con ecos de Patricia Highsmith o Alfred Hitchcock por una de las autoras de novela negra más importantes de las últimas décadas.


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


The New Great Novel by Paula Hawkins, Author of The Girl on the Train


When the Tate Modern discovers that the bone used in one of the most famous sculptures by the renowned and now deceased artist Vanessa Chapman is human and not from an animal, as previously believed, all eyes turn to her and the mysterious disappearance of her husband, Julian.


Fearing the potential devaluation of the artist's work, Douglas Lennox, director of the Fairburn Foundation, sends curator James Becker to the remote Scottish island where Vanessa lived to investigate what the macabre discovery conceals. But what seemed like an easy task soon becomes something much darker, much more dangerous, and much more unpredictable, potentially putting his own life at risk.


Set on a Scottish island accessible only during the low tide hours, The Blue Hour explores the tension between the freedom of creative genius and social pressure, and highlights with terrifying precision how the light with which we see the people we love sometimes hides their darkest side. A masterful novel with echoes of Patricia Highsmith or Alfred Hitchcock by one of the most important crime fiction authors of recent decades.

Pretty Darn Good
Format: Kindle
So I’ve been on a omega kick and this definitely hit the spot. Madison was frustrating at times with how she acted towards Lucas, Gray, and Rian. It was like she said towards the end, she didn’t believe she deserved nice things. It would have been nice to hear from her best friends again. They kind of were there in the beginning and the gone except for mention of text messages received from them. I feel like her friends would have been great help in encouraging Madison to go with the pack and never give Brent another chance because he was toxic. I loved Rian. His personality was awesome. His humor. His ability to make Madison comfortable whenever she was feeling overwhelmed. And the fact he fell for her and she fell for him first. They are cute together. I do feel like Lucas was the odd man out though. Like Lucas didn’t develop as much of a relationship with Madison. I would have really liked to see more development in the relationship between them. It was also the same with him and Rian. There is really no relationship displayed. Most of the relationship being displayed is between Rian and Gray. Nevertheless, I loved reading about the dynamic that came to fruition during the entirety of this story. Madison finally got her happiness. And Brent finally got punched in the face. Everyone got exactly what they deserve.

Pack's Promise was okay but not great
Format: Kindle
Pack's Promise was okay but not great. I won't recommend it to anyone that I know. PRO: * Very likable characters * Lots of steamy scenes that are written very well * The spelling and grammar are good * The punctuation is good with the exception of using hyphens instead of commas. Lots of hyphens. Lots and lots of hyphens. CON: * Almost no interactions with any characters outside of Madison and the pack * Nearly no plot. They meet, get together for a heat, agree to make it permanent, done * Quite a few typos such as extraneous words, missing words and words out of order THINGS TO KNOW: * More steamy scenes than storytelling * A lot of MM & MMM, some MFMM during heat

Fluffy and Nice Omegaverse
Format: Kindle
… this would have made 5 stars but for 2 reasons. A.) there were quite a few typos; misspelled words, missing quotations, “the his” mistakes, and various signs that maybe a proofread would do good. B.) the writing was quite textbook. Late blooming omega is struggling with her new self, finds a absurdly wealthy pack of alphas, every thing is almost insta-love but she resists, then decides to love herself and let everyone be happy. Rian was my favourite (obviously the author’s favourite too because he got the most page time) but I wish we could see more of his CEO side? He went to work maybe ONCE the entire time. Gray was supposed to be the “growly one” but he turned out to be puppy dog. Lucas was a genius brainiac doctor - but also super alpha with an aggressive hindbrain with a breeding k*nk?? And then there was no actual “breeding”?? Spice 3/5 - normally omegaverse books are super high on messy smut but this was tamer. Romance 3/5 - insta-love that was then resisted because of personal hangup’s Plot 2/5 - weird paced head hopping, showing the same scene from different POV’s that made me feel like it was 2 steps backward, 1 step forward. Humour 4/5 - there were a dozen lines that genuinely made me chuckle out loud Would have been five stars but the lack of proofreading and the predictable plot made me unable to get up to ADORED IT level - four stars is still and official ENJOYED IT, y’all. This isn’t a bad rating. The “Club Heat” has intriguing possibilities so I’m going to give the second one a shot.

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.
