La nueva gran novela de Paula Hawkins, autora de La chica del tren.


Cuando la Tate Modern descubre que el hueso utilizado en una de las esculturas más famosas de la célebre y ya fallecida artista Vanessa Chapman es humano y no pertenece a un animal, como se creía, todas las miradas se centran en ella y en la misteriosa desaparición de su marido, Julian.


Temiendo la posible devaluación de la obra de la artista, Douglas Lennox, director de la Fundación Fairburn, envía al conservador James Becker a la remota isla escocesa en la que Vanessa vivía para investigar qué oculta el macabro hallazgo. Pero lo que parecía una empresa fácil pronto se convierte en algo mucho más oscuro, mucho más peligroso y mucho más imprevisible que puede poner en peligro su propia vida.


Ambientada en una isla escocesa accesible solo las horas del día en que baja la marea, La hora azul explora la tensión entre la libertad del genio creativo y la presión social, y señala con aterradora precisión cómo la luz con la que vemos a la gente que queremos a veces oculta su peor oscuridad. Una novela magistral con ecos de Patricia Highsmith o Alfred Hitchcock por una de las autoras de novela negra más importantes de las últimas décadas.


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


The New Great Novel by Paula Hawkins, Author of The Girl on the Train


When the Tate Modern discovers that the bone used in one of the most famous sculptures by the renowned and now deceased artist Vanessa Chapman is human and not from an animal, as previously believed, all eyes turn to her and the mysterious disappearance of her husband, Julian.


Fearing the potential devaluation of the artist's work, Douglas Lennox, director of the Fairburn Foundation, sends curator James Becker to the remote Scottish island where Vanessa lived to investigate what the macabre discovery conceals. But what seemed like an easy task soon becomes something much darker, much more dangerous, and much more unpredictable, potentially putting his own life at risk.


Set on a Scottish island accessible only during the low tide hours, The Blue Hour explores the tension between the freedom of creative genius and social pressure, and highlights with terrifying precision how the light with which we see the people we love sometimes hides their darkest side. A masterful novel with echoes of Patricia Highsmith or Alfred Hitchcock by one of the most important crime fiction authors of recent decades.

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.

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.
