Description:
Acclaimed poet Corey Wakeling's second
collection continues his inquiry into language and the spatial architectures of
history and culture. Set among 20th century ruins, the poems are
cast as if hallucinations: colonial-style houses are 'guarded by palm trees', Royal
Park 'detains two immoveable statues' while the 'Wheel of Fortune dizzies'. The
poems range throughout Melbourne and Western Australia, where the poet has
lived, and further afield too. Strong in its deployment of baroque imagery and
modernist citation, The Alarming Conservatory
uniquely captures the fear and pace of our contemporary condition.
'Wakeling revels in the high gruesome of
syntax – the Edward Gorey sheen of camp creepiness. I applaud his book's
energy, social satire, its forays into kitsch and pop.' – Kevin Killian
'One of Australia's most daring and baroque
writers, Corey Wakeling's ear for the nuances and transformative power of
language is truly remarkable. From the first poem in The Alarming Conservatory, Wakeling's work unsettles the way we
live and how we dwell in the everyday.' – Ann Vickery

So sweet
Format: Kindle
It’s so unexpectedly sweet that it sneaks up on you. Each character is so unique and charming. I love the openness and honesty among their pack. It really blows me away how wonderful this omegaverse trope plays out.

Needs editing
Format: Kindle
Cute storyline and promising characters, but the lack of editing is painful to read. I would love to read an edited version.

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!.

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.
