Es ist das Jahr 1995, Hua Hsu ist achtzehn und sucht seinen Platz, seine Leute. 'Ich wollte den Eindruck vermitteln, dass ich mich mit meiner Stimme wohl fühlte.' Er ist stolz darauf, gegen den Strom zu schwimmen. Er gibt Zines heraus, durchstöbert die Plattenläden der Bay Area, erstellt Mixtapes, kauft seine Kleider aus zweiter Hand. Als er Ken zum ersten Mal trifft, findet er alles an ihm öde. Ken mag Abercrombie &Fitch, Pearl Jam, ist in einer Studentenverbindung, hat eine 'konventionell attraktive' Freundin, geht gerne aus, hat gute Manieren. Alles so fürchterlich Mainstream. Die beiden haben auch ganz unterschiedliche familiäre Hintergründe, obwohl sie beide als Asian-American gelesen werden. Huas Eltern kamen fürs Studium aus Taiwan, während Kens japanisch-amerikanische Familie schon seit Generationen in den USA lebt und sich Ken, aus Huas Sicht, längst nahtlos in die amerikanische Kultur eingegliedert hat. Trotz allem werden Hua und Ken Freunde. Eine Freundschaft, die auf langen Fahrten entlang der kalifornischen Küste und bei nächtlichen Gesprächen auf Raucherbalkonen stetig wächst. 'Eine neue Schachtel Zigaretten, noch einmal zwanzig Gespräche.' Und dann ist Ken plötzlich nicht mehr da, wird unerwartet und sinnlos Opfer eines Verbrechens, nicht einmal drei Jahre nach dem Tag, an dem sie sich zum ersten Mal trafen. Entschlossen, die Erinnerungen an einen seiner engsten Freunde zu bewahren, beginnt Hua zu schreiben, denn er weiß nun: 'Zu sich selbst zu finden, gelingt nicht in einem Vakuum.' Stay True ist ein bestärkendes Memoir über das Erwachsenwerden, eine Nachruf auf die Jugend, diese Suche nach Sinn und Zugehörigkeit, und ein Zeugnis großzügigster Freundschaft.

Knot their Omega
Format: Kindle
It took me a day to really get into the book, there is a lot happening in the beginning of the story. I wish there was more of a time frame because I felt like something’s happened quickly but they were farther away than I thought so that was a little confusing to me. I felt like there was so much happening but also not enough. As for the story itself I enjoyed it, it was different than other OV I’ve read. Bring the tissues, you will need them. They guys were great, I wish we saw more of Kai and Kenjis relationship. As for Nate…… IYKYK. I enjoyed this book, my first from this author and look forward to reading about Kamaris story. Book: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 Spice: 🌶️.5/5

Has Potential, Poorly Executed
Format: Kindle
I really really wanted to enjoy this book and was looking forward to reading it. However there were just one too many convoluted plot points, sentences just did not flow nicely at times, and I was left with a lot of confusion on my end. I think it has the bones of being a great story but seems like it was rushed and I had to push myself to finish the last of the book and was left with an unsatisfying ending. It’s definitely different from other omegaverse novels I’ve read but not for good reasons. I really think it could be great but needs some serious tweaking and editing before I’d read it again.

Secrets, Seduction, and Rockstars!
Format: Kindle
Rockstars, secrets, and off-the-charts chemistry? Sign me up! Cinder Blaze takes us on a rollercoaster of passion and peril with Knot Their Omega. Blair Vesper, a secret Omega masquerading as an Alpha, strikes a risky deal to tour with Blooming Salvation, a band teetering on the edge of chaos. Enter Icarus Morrigan, the enigmatic manager, and his three complicated and irresistibly sexy rockstars: wild Kenji, icy Kaiser, and fiery Nathaniel. This book delivers steamy Omegaverse drama, sizzling slow-burn romance, and just the right dash of angst. The tension between Blair and the band crackles like electricity onstage, while the societal stakes add depth to the spicy dynamics. Short, sharp, and oh-so-sinful Knot Their Omega will have you hooked from the first note!

Wow.
Format: Kindle
Okay I’m usually not one for stand-alone’s I’m an avid series reader but my goodness am I so happy I read this! This story was brilliant & so absolutely mesmerizing. I loved reading about each character and their struggles as well as what helped them to move forward. The ending definitely brought tears to my eyes so hard. I truly wasn’t expecting some of what happened in this story. There is about to be a spoiler I am going to reveal so please stop reading if you don’t want the spoiler !!!! ⚠️ ⛔️ ‼️ I loved that the author didn’t do what most authors do with irredeemable male characters. I truly was hoping that Nate Jr. would be apart of the pack after the way he treated Astrea bc he truly didn’t deserve it. Though I must say you did a wonderful job or redeeming him as a person. I cried my eyes out when he walked into the story. I was truly terrified he was going to be a bad guy to the end. However you truly did him such a justice by having him realize his faults & having him redeem himself in the most wonderful way. I’m so sad that he didn’t get to hear how much his brother loved him & forgave him before dying. But again you wrote that ending so beautifully & I just can’t express how much I loved this story & how you took a different route than most authors I have read have. You are a remarkable author Cinder Blaze & I thank you generously for creating such a masterpiece.

Omegaverse
Format: Kindle
I was pleasantly surprised by this omega verse book. This 1 definitely had a few new twists And I really enjoyed reading it. The main female character was a badass and awesome. She had 1 best friend I wish we could have seen a little bit more of their friendship in this book. Her relationship with the male characters was good not to contrived or super instantaneous. And we had some fun plot twists that I didn't expect. I wish we had more of a follow up on the situation with her family her background and her mother who was a wench. I would definitely recommend this book.
