"The Return of Raffles: Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman" is a collection of short stories by E.W. Hornung, continuing the adventures of the gentleman thief, A.J. Raffles, after his initial appearances in "The Amateur Cracksman". In these further adventures, Raffles, a member of the English cricket team, continues his criminal exploits alongside his friend, Bunny Manders, while maintaining his social facade. 
The stories explore Raffles' daring burglaries, often motivated by financial gain or a sense of adventure, while showcasing his charming and charismatic personality and his adherence to a moral code. He focuses his efforts on those he deems morally deserving, and his actions are always executed with a level of ingenuity and skill. The stories are set in late Victorian London and combine elements of crime, mystery, and adventure, similar to Sherlock Holmes stories, but from the perspective of the criminal. 
The collection has been praised for its wit, suspense, and exploration of the complexities of morality in a criminal context. Raffles is presented as a sympathetic and engaging character, making his criminal adventures an intriguing portrayal of late 19th-century London.

not bad
Format: Kindle
I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas. But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way. Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.
