The duo of Faded Ranger (Nick Maurer, Neville Attree) unveil their debut LP, Mechanical Tonight, in it's full glory. Bringing together Nick Maurer's gift for bite-size storytelling and Neville Attree's intricate, melodic arrangements, the album is an infectious collection of tracks that resonate with a distinctive crossover appeal, while the dynamic beats ensure it still gravitates towards the dancefloor. Ex-Greens keepers front-man Maurer (Chicago) and Gumption Recordings founder Attree (London) first met while DJ'ing at a notorious outdoor party called Girl's Camp in their adopted home of Heidelberg. Faded Ranger stumbled into existence soon after and has come to represent a meeting of minds borne out of circumstance and driven by musical legacy. Mechanical Tonight may be retro in it's outlook as the pair work the presence of past influences out of their systems, but the melting pot of ideas and references converge at a point of undeniable modern appeal. Amid the conjured beats, majicked lyrics, jokes and storytelling, they hit the ground running, penning "Blindfolds," "Mechanical Tonight," "Pretty Colors" and "Be on the Lookout" in quick succession, setting the tone for the eclectic nature of the album. "Blindfolds" and "Be on the Lookout" are filled to the brim with vintage neon shades and proto-house intensity, while the darker synth-pop of the album's title-track takes it's tongue-in-cheek inspiration from a drunken robot dancing competition. Lyrical content also plays an integral part in the album's alchemy like on the tripped-out sci-fi-dub "Pretty Colors." Then there's the vicious ambiguity of "Come to Me" and their hypnotic cover of Roxy Music's "In Every Dream Home a Heartache." in contrast, the album's introspective moods are achieved with the moody, trip-hop referencing "Everybody," "Room 101" and the sultry interlude "Wax Orgasmic." the final parts of the album puzzle were completed after the outfit had already formed a bond with their current label home HFN Music. With it's slow, deliberate groove, vocal hooks and epic arrangement, "Get Together (Right Now)" recalls the halcyon days of house music. The opening cut "Going Somewhere" is an acute representation of the duo's plethora of influences that should appeal to new and vintage tastes alike, while the album cools out on a poignant note as "The Weak and the Strong" combines classic programming, heartfelt vocals and shifts of melodic suspense. It rounds off an intriguing panorama of sound that captivates and entertains in equal measures. LP contains download code.

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.

Fun read
Format: Kindle
I'm not really into mafia books but I love Roxy Collin's other series so I decided to give it a try. It had the same great romance, spice, swoon-worthy characters and exciting plot that are her signature. Arben was my favorite, although it was a bit sudden how quickly he changed from ignoring her to wanting to be pack. There were almost too many twists/layers of lies to keep track of but I'm looking forward to reading the other books.
The only thing that detracted from the story for me was the need for a bit more proofreading. It was mentioned that Kelly is a female and male at different points, leading me to think she changed her mind at some point about the character's gender but didn't go back and edit it to align in all places. Like another reviewer pointed out, step siblings are different than half siblings. They are incorrectly referred to as step siblings because they (allegedly) share the same biological dad. There are a few other typos as well but those aren't a big deal.
