Der gefeierte neue Roman von Joyce Carol Oates und 'definitiv eines ihrer besten Bücher' (Observer). Detroit, in den späten 1970ern: Hannah, Ehefrau und Mutter, beginnt eine Affäre mit einem gefährlichen Fremden; Mikey, der sich mit zwielichtigen Aufträgen durchschlägt, beschließt, sich endlich seiner traumatischen Vergangenheit zu stellen; und dann ist da dieser Serienkiller, der als Mörder kleiner Kinder unter dem Namen Babysitter Berühmtheit erlangt - eine rätselhafte Figur mit augenscheinlichen Verbindungen zur Elite Detroits, der jedoch bisher jeglicher Vergeltung entkam. Während Hannah dem Mann, den sie nur unter dem Namen Y. K. kennt, zunehmend verfällt, scheint auch der Babysitter immer näher zu kommen. Und erneut verschwindet ein Kind direkt aus Hannahs Nachbarschaft. 'Joyce Carol Oates wird immer noch besser.' Oprah Daily 'Gewagt und unvergesslich.' The Guardian ' Babysitter ist eine Geistergeschichte ohne Geister, aber von einer derartigen Spannung, dass man mehrere Herzinfarkte riskiert. Mit Vorsicht lesen.' Oyinkan Braithwaite,The New York Times Book Review 'Wenn man mich fragt, ist Oates einfach die durchweg originellste, brillanteste, neugierigste und kreativste Autorin, die wir im Moment haben.' Gillian Flynn (Autorin von 'Gone Girl')

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.

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.

amazing
Format: Kindle
Knot the Bride was a fantastic read! The characters were all amazing and well-developed. It was easy to like them all. Sophia, Luca, Nick, and Gavin were all perfect for each other. It was such a charming story that had me hooked the entire time. I did wish there were POVs from Luca, Nick, and Gavin but it was still an amazing book without it. I am excited to read the next book in the Willowside Omegaverse series! This is definitely a must-read for fans of omegaverse romance!. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

3 Star Read,
Format: Kindle
This book wasn't bad, but wasn't my cup of tea. It's highly disappointing because the storyline is so original. There is no real conflict or resolution, so the entire thing feels flat. As a lover of omegaverse books, I know there is a ton of variety out there, and ov is really up to the author. But this one is weird. Omegas have multiple scent glands all over their bodies and go into week long heats every month. Alphas have knots in the middle of their shaft instead of the base, and the knot doesn't always swell, no explanation of when or why. It doesn't engage at all when the mouth is in play. I also didn't enjoy the author's writing style. Each paragraph is only 1 or 2 sentences long, and the entire book reads very stacato. The conversations are stiff and unnatural feeling. Everything is very repetitive, both in word choice and in thought. The same thing is repeated 3 or 4 times over a single page, multiple times over. I ended up doing so much skimming. The first 50% of the book is all slow burn, and the last 50% is almost straight mediocre spice. This wouldn't have been all bad if the grammar and spelling errors didn't start at the exact same time. Tongue is repeatedly misspelled in the middle of the spice.
