«No veía nada debajo del agua, aunque abriera los ojos: una barrera viscosa, negra, fría, que por el afán de huir me parecía una sopa de aceite en la que mis brazos y mis piernas me hacían avanzar muy despacio, así los moviera con todas mis fuerzas.» Esta novela gira en torno a La Oculta, una finca escondida en las montañas de Colombia. Pilar, Eva y Antonio Ángel son los últimos herederos de esta tierra que ha sobrevivido a varias generaciones de la familia. En ella han pasado los momentos más felices de su vida, pero han tenido que enfrentarse también al asedio de la violencia y el terror, al desasosiego y a la huida. A partir de las voces de los tres hermanos, del recuento de sus amores, miedos, deseos y esperanzas, y con un deslumbrante paisaje como telón de fondo, Héctor Abad Faciolince ilumina en La Oculta las vicisitudes de una familia y de un pueblo, así como el momento en que está a punto de perderse el paraíso sobre el cual construyeron sus realidades y sus sueños. Una mirada íntima y transgresora a una sociedad pujante y tradicionalista, que confirma a Héctor Abad como uno de los grandes escritores de la literatura latinoamericana actual. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION «I could not see anything under the water, even if I opened my eyes: a thick gooey, black, cold barrier that, due to my desire to escape, felt like an oil soup in which my arms and legs made me move very slowly, even if I moved them with all my strength." This novel is set around La Oculta, a farm hidden in the mountains of Colombia. Pilar, Eva, and Antonio Ángel are the last heirs of this land that has survived several generations in the family. In La Oculta they have spent the happiest moments of their lives, but they have also had to face the siege of violence and terror, restlessness, and an escape. Through the three brothers, their loves, fears, desires, and hopes, and with a dazzling landscape as a backdrop, Héctor Abad Faciolince highlights the vicissitudes of a family and a town, as well as the exact moment when the paradise on which they built their realities and dreams is about to be lost. An intimate and transgressive look at a thriving and traditionalist society, which confirms Héctor Abad as one of the great writers in Latin American literature today.Shipping Notes

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.

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5

A good read
Format: Kindle
Multiple points of view. 3 Alpha men and an Omega male. She is a Beta in training for a new program placing betas in Alpha/Omega packs. Mila is only doing the program for the money to take care of her dad. She wasn't expecting to fall for a pack but when she sees this packs Omega she is done for. There is just something about him. His Alphas are good looking as well. Too bad she is hiding a secret and their government is acting shady. I liked it and can't wait to see where their story goes.

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.

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.
