¿HASTA DÓNDE LLEGA EL AMOR DE UNA MADRE? Ha desaparecido Lucas, el niño más famoso de España. Con más de un millón de seguidores en redes sociales, protagoniza un popular anuncio de galletas junto a Sweet Bunny, un enorme y enigmático conejo de peluche blanco. Candela, una teniente de la Guardia Civil en plena crisis vital, toma las riendas del caso y comienza una trepidante cuenta atrás para determinar si se trata de un secuestro, un caso de violencia vicaria o si podría estar relacionado con los peligros del sharenting -la exposición de menores por parte de sus padres en internet-. En su búsqueda por resolver el misterio tendrá que sortear las intrusiones de Adriana, la madre del niño, y Judith, su hermana adolescente, ambas empeñadas en ser influencers de éxito. La cría es una historia inquietante, turbia y aterradora. Un duelo desgarrador entre dos madres que crían a sus hijos de manera opuesta planteando un gran interrogante: ¿qué es más peligroso: la exposición en las redes o intentar mantenerlos al margen? Comienza la pesadilla. Una vez más Pablo Rivero, con su voz única y su estilo cinematográfico, construye con precisión un rompecabezas que pone el dedo en la llaga en temas sociales de máxima actualidad. La cría no es solo un thriller trepidante, es también una experiencia de lectura extrema. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION HOW FAR CAN A MOTHER'S LOVE GO? Lucas has disappeared, he is Spain's most famous boy. He has over a million followers on social media and stars in a popular cookie TV ad alongside Sweet Bunny, a huge and puzzling white stuffed rabbit. Candela, a Civil Guard lieutenant amid a vital personal crisis, takes charge of the case and begins a fast-paced countdown to determine if it was kidnapping, a case of vicarious violence, or if it could be related to the dangers of sharenting -the overexposure of minors by their parents on the Internet. In her quest to solve the mystery, she will have to sidestep Adriana's intrusions, the boy's mother, and Judith's, his teenage sister, both determined to be successful influencers. La cría/The Childis a disturbing, murky, and terrifying story. A heartbreaking duel between two mothers who raise their children in opposite ways, raising a big question: what is more dangerous: overexposure on social media or trying to keep them completely out? The nightmare begins. Pablo Rivero, with his unique voice and cinematographic style, once again builds a puzzle that shines the spotlight on the sore spot of social issues these days. La cría/The Childisn't just a fast-paced thriller, it's also an extreme reading experience.Shipping Notes

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.

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.
