Es ist das Jahr 1995, Hua Hsu ist achtzehn und sucht seinen Platz, seine Leute. 'Ich wollte den Eindruck vermitteln, dass ich mich mit meiner Stimme wohl fühlte.' Er ist stolz darauf, gegen den Strom zu schwimmen. Er gibt Zines heraus, durchstöbert die Plattenläden der Bay Area, erstellt Mixtapes, kauft seine Kleider aus zweiter Hand. Als er Ken zum ersten Mal trifft, findet er alles an ihm öde. Ken mag Abercrombie &Fitch, Pearl Jam, ist in einer Studentenverbindung, hat eine 'konventionell attraktive' Freundin, geht gerne aus, hat gute Manieren. Alles so fürchterlich Mainstream. Die beiden haben auch ganz unterschiedliche familiäre Hintergründe, obwohl sie beide als Asian-American gelesen werden. Huas Eltern kamen fürs Studium aus Taiwan, während Kens japanisch-amerikanische Familie schon seit Generationen in den USA lebt und sich Ken, aus Huas Sicht, längst nahtlos in die amerikanische Kultur eingegliedert hat. Trotz allem werden Hua und Ken Freunde. Eine Freundschaft, die auf langen Fahrten entlang der kalifornischen Küste und bei nächtlichen Gesprächen auf Raucherbalkonen stetig wächst. 'Eine neue Schachtel Zigaretten, noch einmal zwanzig Gespräche.' Und dann ist Ken plötzlich nicht mehr da, wird unerwartet und sinnlos Opfer eines Verbrechens, nicht einmal drei Jahre nach dem Tag, an dem sie sich zum ersten Mal trafen. Entschlossen, die Erinnerungen an einen seiner engsten Freunde zu bewahren, beginnt Hua zu schreiben, denn er weiß nun: 'Zu sich selbst zu finden, gelingt nicht in einem Vakuum.' Stay True ist ein bestärkendes Memoir über das Erwachsenwerden, eine Nachruf auf die Jugend, diese Suche nach Sinn und Zugehörigkeit, und ein Zeugnis großzügigster Freundschaft.

Omega survival mode
Format: Kindle
Tatum is an Omega who has been suppressing herself since she had a heartbreaking fallout after her first heat. The boy she loved ghosted her after it was over.  Tatum lost her father when she was just 8 and her mother struggled to survive until Tatum got to be an adult and was unable to keep pushing. So now Tatum is being the parent and she needs a better paying job so she can afford to put her mother in a care facility until she is better. When she finds a job posting for Haze Instincts she knows they take care of their Omega staff and if she is a dancer or maybe something more she will be able to catch up on bills and get her mom taken care of.  As she is exposed to a few different irresistible Alphas she is forced to remember who she is and face everything she has been running from. Will she be able to accept all of her Omega nature, get her mother the care she needs, form a pack and let go of the past? This book was sad and sweet too. Tatum has been through so much and she doesn't know how everything fits together. As the pieces fit into the puzzle she has to choose a future even if it is scary.  I love the ladies she works with at the club. Their personalities are so fun. Also, I love a groveling Alpha. Though Mr. Brownies was a fun twist. I love that the story was comprehensive and filled in all of the missing pieces in a way that was engaging and made sense.  That epilogue was so freaking sweet and an absolutely perfect ending.

Exceptional
Format: Kindle
I was thoroughly intrigued with this book. It took me a couple of days to finish it, but I was running home from work to get back into the Haze pack. I loved this book and I can't wait for the next book from this author.

ending was very rushed
Format: Kindle
Fun premise and start but the initial story buildup took 90% of book so the characters coming together and overcoming villain of story was literally less than 25 pages. Ending felt rushed and way less thought out than the premise. The whole mom part of the story was unnecessary and hard to follow.

Solid Omegaverse!
Format: Kindle
4.5 strong stars!🌟 Overall great story solid omegaverse. I love how they’re fighting their instincts. Lots of spice, TONS of slick and heated moments. **Slight spoiler sort of** I was nervous reading this for pretty much one reason and that was the other “O” listed. I knew it wasn’t another female and I would have been happy/fine if it was but the concern lay in not knowing or being guaranteed the smexual preferences of our three alphas so realistically this gave me anxiety on how the dynamic would work. Anyone who has read omegaverse knows there’s usually one omega in each pack. My fear was the male omega connecting only with the female omega and that dynamic doesn’t wholly work for me. To me, the male omega needs the alphas as well so I was relieved with how this turned out.

Good plot but definitely slow burn
Format: Kindle
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5|🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ (not a ton of spice scenes for an Omegaverse) The plot, character development, scene progression, and action throughout the story was done really well. I did wish there was better pacing for the spice. I felt like the big spice was really rushed. During some scenes the story was a little hard to follow. I think some parts could’ve been cut. Overall I would read more from this author! 💖
