French sound artist Félix Blume keeps pushing the boundaries of field recordings for everyone's enjoyment. Fog Horns captures the sounds of boat horns in Piraeus, Athens, Greece, the port city that serves some of the most important ferry routes in Greece nowadays. Yes, boat horns are annoying, sometimes disturbing and even absurdly disrupting if you live in a port city or one that is blessed with the arrival of cruises - everyone knows that. But recordings of funerals could be tricky, and Félix Blume pulled a gem out of 2018's Death In Haiti: Funeral Brass Bands & Sounds from Port Au Prince (CREP 051LP). And he has done it again. The A side reveals a long track recorded during a fog horn concert whilst side B features three "remixes" of the same recordings, paying respect to what Ingram Marshall did in Fog Tropes in three different "movements". In a way, B side sounds like the perfect soundtrack for the recent remake of Suspiria (2018). But Thom Yorke got in the way. Jokes aside, there's something magical about these horns. In the eighteen minutes of the first side, Félix Blume explores the concept of a concert played by those horns. The horns dominate but sounds of the surroundings create a perfect balance to the drone hysteria. The surrounding sounds are the heartbeat of this track. The horns are the metal section of an orchestra, while the rest works like the strings. Hidden melodies are revealed when you listen to this with your full attention, and the more you do it, the horns become less present, vivid. It's one of the many crafts of Félix Blume, the more you live with his music, the more you focus outside the plot. If those eighteen minutes sound tremendously real, the three tracks on the other side feel like a horror film. The warmth disappears to become cold ambiance, beautifully textured and enigmatic sounds take over. Horns are still heard, but they're a different kind of horns. It seems that Félix Blume is playing with our perception, from bliss to horror. A honk will never be the same again.

Promising but not without issues
Format: Kindle
First off, the FMC and the pack don't meet until about 60% of the way through.
That's just way too late honestly. I can appreciate the backstory of the band and the FMC, but I skimmed at times wondering when they'd meet.
I did like the writing and premise but I thought the execution needed a lot of work.
The characters were pretty well developed, but they didn't spend that much time on the page together, so I thought that led to the story suffering.
I will give her another shot, as I think the writing has promise... It just didn't come all together in a way that I could wholeheartedly recommend.

DNF
Format: Kindle
I really tried to finish this book. There was too much detail in more than half the book. They do not even meet for. Ore than half the book. If you are looking for spice, this is not the book for you. This is more a late teen if that. I stopped reading when she made her choice of men for her first time. There isn’t any urge to read the next chapter. Easy to put down.

Wonderful
Format: Kindle
What a wonderful long read, with depth, emotions, storyline and a touch of $mut. This story was definitely more centered around the storyline rather than any $ex scenes and lived up to “Cozy Omegaverse”. We saw the pack dynamic’s evolve as she was ready for them to evolve, they were patient with her and allowed her to break free from her own constraints.
Amazing!

A Nice Story
Format: Kindle
I love Omegaverse and its many stories. The book is a wonderful story. The characters are intriguing and are each unique. There were a few issues with repetitive phrases through out the book and a few misspellings but the biggest issue was the very painful slow burn. I feel if it weren’t so slow
It could have incorporated more content about each character. Overall a solid story though.

decent…but
Format: Kindle
This is my first book from this author, and while I do really love omegaverse stories, this one left a lot to be desired. This book is a hard-core slow, slow, slow burn: (75% or later in the book)
I will say that I finished it. Unfortunately, I struggled through a lot of it due to punctuation errors, and general editing that must have been looked over during the revision process.
I also feel like a lot of information was left out and there wasn’t closure regarding her parents. The dynamic of the pack before Lydia joined is a little confusing, the only person who showed affection towards Elias was the Head alpha. The other two seemed indifferent to him in an intimate relationship way. That doesn’t really scream cohesive pack to me.
I am hopeful that the next book in the series is better edited, and that the author decides not to use the same phrases over and over again. I’m pretty sure “honey-warm” was mentioned over 15 times when describing Elias’s scent. That got really old, really fast.
Overall, it was a decent book. Not sure I would read it again or recommend it until of these errors are remedied.
