Marble Runs are fascinating marvels of art and engineering that will captivate your attention. The only thing better than watching one is building it yourself. The Stepped Hoist is the second in a series of UGears modular Marble Run kits and is both a beautiful kinetic sculpture and an intricate toy that teaches as it entertains. It is the second in the UGears collection of marble runs and features an ingenious 3-stepped alternating lift mechanism that sends the marbles on their cyclical journey through multiple tracks and elements.
A turn of the handle sets the machine in motion. The lift hands the marbles back and forth as they climb to the top to embark on their amusement park adventures. There are three tracks: the first consists of a two-marble accumulator and serpentine run, the second is a hammer swing inside a C-shaped cradle, and the third has a whirlpool or funnel. All marbles eventually pass through the collection tray and into the seesaw lift, where a rocker switch mechanism sends the marbles back along the return track to the three-stepped lift.
The 355-piece kit is rated “Advanced" and has an estimated assembly time of 8 hours. The kit contains everything you need, including pre-cut wooden boards, 10 marbles, wax, sandpaper (for optimal gear function) and full-color illustrated, step-by-step instructions. No additional tools or glue are necessary.
UGears Marble Runs are very strong. Their rigidity is achieved through a sturdy base and tightened frame parts. They are designed to be modular allowing each model to work as a standalone, or it can be connected frontally or laterally to other UGears marble runs of the same or different design. Up to four models can be joined in pairs using the special connectors (included in the kit). The results are an amazingly complex system of interconnected elements, all powered by a single crank. When combined, the rocker mechanism at the end of the run can send marbles in one direction or the other (or both directions, depending on the attached weight), then return them to the original hoist or send them to a different run. It's like a miniature amusement park!
Features:
- Three tracks each with unique elements
- Marble accumulator sends all three marbles along their divergent paths
- A muscular gear drive delivers power to the three-stage alternating lift and auxiliary seesaw lift
- Modular design for connection with other UGears marble runs of the same or different design
- Strong base and tightened frame parts for rigidity

Fluffy and Nice Omegaverse
Format: Kindle
… this would have made 5 stars but for 2 reasons.
A.) there were quite a few typos; misspelled words, missing quotations, “the his” mistakes, and various signs that maybe a proofread would do good.
B.) the writing was quite textbook. Late blooming omega is struggling with her new self, finds a absurdly wealthy pack of alphas, every thing is almost insta-love but she resists, then decides to love herself and let everyone be happy.
Rian was my favourite (obviously the author’s favourite too because he got the most page time) but I wish we could see more of his CEO side? He went to work maybe ONCE the entire time. Gray was supposed to be the “growly one” but he turned out to be puppy dog. Lucas was a genius brainiac doctor - but also super alpha with an aggressive hindbrain with a breeding k*nk?? And then there was no actual “breeding”??
Spice 3/5 - normally omegaverse books are super high on messy smut but this was tamer.
Romance 3/5 - insta-love that was then resisted because of personal hangup’s
Plot 2/5 - weird paced head hopping, showing the same scene from different POV’s that made me feel like it was 2 steps backward, 1 step forward.
Humour 4/5 - there were a dozen lines that genuinely made me chuckle out loud
Would have been five stars but the lack of proofreading and the predictable plot made me unable to get up to ADORED IT level - four stars is still and official ENJOYED IT, y’all. This isn’t a bad rating. The “Club Heat” has intriguing possibilities so I’m going to give the second one a shot.

Fantastic writing and non-stop action
Format: Kindle
This is a promising, fantastic beginning to what will be a 4-book series. Some readers may be content to read only the first 2 books, but I think you'll find that the story is so good that you'll want to keep reading books 3 and 4.
Book 1 is about omega Elvana's introduction to the "Starling" brothers and their search for another missing person, Kelly. It's a bit of a rocky start, with deception and betrayal a key element. Hardly an auspicious beginning. Each member has their own path and purpose in the pack. Their interactions and the resulting narrative are so well-written that I found it difficult to put down.
There is a cliffhanger that will have you reaching for book 2 as you finish, so make sure you have it on hand.

Fun read
Format: Kindle
I'm not really into mafia books but I love Roxy Collin's other series so I decided to give it a try. It had the same great romance, spice, swoon-worthy characters and exciting plot that are her signature. Arben was my favorite, although it was a bit sudden how quickly he changed from ignoring her to wanting to be pack. There were almost too many twists/layers of lies to keep track of but I'm looking forward to reading the other books.
The only thing that detracted from the story for me was the need for a bit more proofreading. It was mentioned that Kelly is a female and male at different points, leading me to think she changed her mind at some point about the character's gender but didn't go back and edit it to align in all places. Like another reviewer pointed out, step siblings are different than half siblings. They are incorrectly referred to as step siblings because they (allegedly) share the same biological dad. There are a few other typos as well but those aren't a big deal.

Stepbrothers, Secrets, and Sizzling Heat
Format: Kindle
Twisted Lies by Roxy Collins is a wild ride through family secrets, amnesia, and a steamy stepbrother romance. When Kelly discovers her life is built on lies, she ends up tangled with three alpha stepbrothers and an assassin who once helped her through a heat.
The tension? Off the charts!
The heat is real, and the complications are messy in the best way. Full of twists, secrets, and fated mates? You'll be hooked from page one!
Love omegaverse drama with a dash of taboo? This one's for you!

Good read
Format: Kindle
The book has some good twists and turns, but truthfully I was so confused on some things. It didn't have a good flow for me personally. Not sure if it's due to typos or using him/her wrongly, but I thought Kelly was both a guy and a girl. Actually I still don't know, and it made me incredibly frustrated. It would refer to Kelley as him or he, and then again in another part of the story as her she and sister. On to the next book, I hope there is some clarity and a smoother flow. This is a slow burn, and I just don't know how much I care for the Alphas yet. Idk if I recommend.
