In a world where magic is strictly divided along gender lines, with men dominating the arcane arts and women relegated to domestic roles, two unlikely individuals challenge the status quo and forge an unbreakable bond amidst a backdrop of danger and intrigue.

Onna, a young woman with an extraordinary talent for spellcraft, defies societal norms and excels in her studies, surpassing even the most skilled male students. However, her abilities are met with suspicion and hostility, as women are not permitted to wield such power. Undeterred, Onna sets sail for the city-state of Hexos, seeking a place where her talents will be recognized and nurtured.

Tsira, a troll outcast with a hidden magical gift, yearns for acceptance and a place to belong. When she stumbles upon a half-dead soldier in the snow, she forms an unexpected bond with him. Together, they embark on a journey to unravel the mysteries of their shared past and uncover the truth behind a series of mysterious murders that threaten to tear apart their newfound friendship.

As Onna and Tsira's paths intertwine, they find themselves drawn into a world of political intrigue, hidden societies, and ancient prophecies. They must confront their own prejudices and fears while navigating a world that is not ready for their unique powers and the profound connection they share.

    not bad
    Format: Kindle
    I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.

    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.

    A good read
    Format: Kindle
    A good read, just fluffy cuteness, no antagonism. I like all the characters. It could have used another round of editing however, glanfds being one error that cracked me up, and my personal pet peeve was that the author kept using the word fill instead of feel, which I promise you are not interchangeable haha, but it's definitely better than the majority of books I read on here mistake-wise.
