Elephant - Shooting For The MoonHet is ploeteren om zo losjes als Elephant voor de dag te komen. Na de gelauwerde doorbraakplaat Big Thing (2022) gaat de Rotterdamse indieband op de opvolger Shooting for the Moon het eigen cynisme te lijf met onweerstaanbare gitaarmelodien, standvastige nonchalance en teksten die het routineuze net wat romantischer doen lijken. De zomerzon schijnt de vier vol op de neus en omarmen zullen ze het, want voor hen niets zo radicaal als rust en optimisme.

Het is ploeteren om zo losjes als Elephant voor de dag te komen. Na de gelauwerde doorbraakplaat Big Thing (2022) gaat de Rotterdamse indieband op de opvolger Shooting for the Moon het eigen cynisme te lijf met onweerstaanbare gitaarmelodieën, standvastige nonchalance en teksten die het routineuze net wat romantischer doen lijken. De zomerzon schijnt de vier vol op de neus en omarmen zullen ze het, want voor hen niets zo radicaal als rust en optimisme.

Met een uitverkochte clubtour, de nodige airplay en het predicaat ‘Veelbelovend Talent’ uit handen van de Volkskrant, 3voor12 en 3FM zou je gerust kunnen stellen dat het Elephant voor de wind gaat. Shooting for the Moon is dan ook een hoopvol album, waarvoor de band de hulp inschakelde van de Vlaamse singer-songwriter Meskerem Mees en producer Pablo van de Poel (DeWolff) maar met name putte uit de eigen magische viereenheid. Lang waren ze alle vier vooral sidemen geweest in andermans projecten, nu hadden ze plots de hele speeltuin voor zichzelf.

Nadat Big Thing was ontstaan in een periode vol pandemische onzekerheid, gloort op het tweede album dus de bevrijding en de kalmte. “The sunshine falls upon my face. It’s been so long that I felt anything so real as I feel right now,” klinkt het op ‘Enemy’. Niet de regen, maar de blauwe lucht. Niet de nacht, maar de ochtend. Hier spreekt een hechte groep die koste-wat-kost iets móóis wil maken – met de fluwelen handschoenen van Andy Shauf, het timide postuur van Teenage Fanclub en The Feelies en de huiselijke warmte van Wilco.

Niet dat het cynisme, dat Elephant voor aanvang van iedere repetitie poogt uit te bannen, helemaal weg is. Op de openingstrack schiet de band zelfs heel even uit de slof: “I hate your post-punk pretensions, your fake English accent,” verzuchtten ze. Wees gerust, post-punk-liefhebbers. Hier speelt geen afkeer voor het genre maar de onzekerheid en zelfontplooiing van een ambitieuze band in bloei, een band die op de maan mikt, gevaarlijk dicht langs de zon vliegt en dondersgoed weet hoe fabuleus dat klinkt.

Pack's Promise was okay but not great
Format: Kindle
Pack's Promise was okay but not great. I won't recommend it to anyone that I know. PRO: * Very likable characters * Lots of steamy scenes that are written very well * The spelling and grammar are good * The punctuation is good with the exception of using hyphens instead of commas. Lots of hyphens. Lots and lots of hyphens. CON: * Almost no interactions with any characters outside of Madison and the pack * Nearly no plot. They meet, get together for a heat, agree to make it permanent, done * Quite a few typos such as extraneous words, missing words and words out of order THINGS TO KNOW: * More steamy scenes than storytelling * A lot of MM & MMM, some MFMM during heat

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.

Wow.
Format: Kindle
Okay I’m usually not one for stand-alone’s I’m an avid series reader but my goodness am I so happy I read this! This story was brilliant & so absolutely mesmerizing. I loved reading about each character and their struggles as well as what helped them to move forward. The ending definitely brought tears to my eyes so hard. I truly wasn’t expecting some of what happened in this story. There is about to be a spoiler I am going to reveal so please stop reading if you don’t want the spoiler !!!! ⚠️ ⛔️ ‼️ I loved that the author didn’t do what most authors do with irredeemable male characters. I truly was hoping that Nate Jr. would be apart of the pack after the way he treated Astrea bc he truly didn’t deserve it. Though I must say you did a wonderful job or redeeming him as a person. I cried my eyes out when he walked into the story. I was truly terrified he was going to be a bad guy to the end. However you truly did him such a justice by having him realize his faults & having him redeem himself in the most wonderful way. I’m so sad that he didn’t get to hear how much his brother loved him & forgave him before dying. But again you wrote that ending so beautifully & I just can’t express how much I loved this story & how you took a different route than most authors I have read have. You are a remarkable author Cinder Blaze & I thank you generously for creating such a masterpiece.

Omegaverse
Format: Kindle
I was pleasantly surprised by this omega verse book. This 1 definitely had a few new twists And I really enjoyed reading it. The main female character was a badass and awesome. She had 1 best friend I wish we could have seen a little bit more of their friendship in this book. Her relationship with the male characters was good not to contrived or super instantaneous. And we had some fun plot twists that I didn't expect. I wish we had more of a follow up on the situation with her family her background and her mother who was a wench. I would definitely recommend this book.
