As we slowly make our way out of the fog that consumed the world over the past year, we may be surprised at where we find ourselves. So many people on this planet have been feeling completely unmoored and adrift-happy to see the shore but unfamiliar with our surroundings. That's the sensation that Pedro Franke leans into on Corisco, his latest solo venture recorded under the name Bonifrate. The Brazilian musician wrote this suite of psych-pop songs, as he puts it, "trying to read the world around us, feeling lost or found in it. Mostly lost." While that would suggest a gauzy, hard to grasp album, or at least a sorrowful one that can only be appreciated in small doses, Corisco finds Franke mastering many different moods and flows with deceptive ease from start to finish. "Corisico (parte 1)," for example, is a fuzz-laden garage pop jam that Franke says was inspired, in part, by watching a growing electrical storm outside his window. "Grande nó" damn near beats Spoon at their own musical game with it's bouncy rhythm and deeply considered atmospherics. And "Cara de pano" is a multi-part anthem that runs through a quick history of rock music from the '50s to the '70s in one three minute dose. Perhaps the most impressive element of Corisco is that the album was recorded by Franke on his own. That's been the method to Bonifrate's musical madness from release of his first EP Sapos Alquímicos na Era Especial back in 2002. But while that first expression from Franke was done in lo-fi fashion on an old four-track recorder, he's been upping his game considerably since, with well received albums like 2011's Um Futuro Inteiro and 2019's Mundo Encoberto. Corisco stands out, in part, because Franke decided to use fewer MIDI instruments and loops this time around, sticking to analog instruments. That choice led Franke to grab his friend and bandmate in Supercordas, Diogo Valentino, to help mix this new material. "I reckoned it needed a more sophisticated mixing process than my own," Franke says, "since the sounds are rawer and more direct than ever." The results are fantastic, trading the tape hiss of the past with a rich palette of music colors that flood the stereo field. Franke's multi-layered approach to writing the music for Corisco extends to his lyrical concerns as well. He shifts from the melancholic uncertainty of opening track "Rei Lagarto" to the more hopeful potential of "Casiopeia"; from the dystopian visions of "2054" and "Grande nó" to the brighter visions of "Corisco (Parte 2)." Corisco may then be a perfect representation of our pandemic state of mind as we flick between browser tabs, scroll through an array of messages in our social media feeds, and switch from the dark and light in our binge watching fare. For an album that takes it's musical cues from decades' past, Corisco sounds and feels entirely modern.

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.

Fun with a late blooming omega
Format: Kindle
I like this book. The story is fun, cute, and sexy. There's just a little drama, some excellent, steamy scenes, and a fairly good relationship building storyline. I especially like how all the main characters are a bit older than the usual 20 somethings I tend to see in this kind of book. Having said that, I wish there were more descriptions of the places, as well as the food in the fancy restaurant. I enjoyed the cocktails at the club, so I missed that kind of detail when Gray took Madison on a dinner date. I also wish there had been more interaction between Lucas and Madison, and Lucas and Rian. It felt a bit lopsided, with a focus on Rian, Madison, and Gray. I wish it had been proofread - there are a lot of typos, but nothing too distracting.

Madison Deserved Better
Format: Kindle
Madison was a beta...except she wasn't any longer. She was a late presenting Omega. And she was struggling. She was tall and thin, not tiny and curvy. She was opinionated. She was everything an Omega was not. After suffering through her first heat, her friends took her to Ardor, a club where Omegas came to safely find Alphas. She's not expecting much but then she connects with a sexy beta. And when she meets his Alphas, they set her body on fire. Maybe, she's found her no-strings-attached heat pack. Maybe, she's found something more. I could not connect with the characters in this book, so their story never resonated with me. And there was no love story; there was sex. Grey made it clear from the beginning that he had a true love and it was his beta boy, Rian. He went so far as to reassure Rian “Say the word, I’ll never touch her again. Lucas can put the babies in her. I only need you, beta boy”. So, Madison was there for babies, no emotions needed. Nice. No, thank you. I want the Omega to be the center of their world, not an incubator. Lucas and Rian weren't any better. After her heat, they let her leave. Not one of them made her feel valued. No one gave her a reason to stay or even offered a cuddle. And the sex didn't even come across as mind-blowing. Madison deserved better.
