«Pocos novelistas que escriben en mi lengua me producen tanta admiración como Jorge Franco».
Almudena Grandes
«Este es uno de los autores colombianos a quien me gustaría pasarle la antorcha».
Gabriel García Márquez
«Él, que había caminado media vida en el puro filo de una navaja, identificó ya en su niño la irremediable vocación al extravío». La explosión de una bomba y la desaparición de un niño trenzarán de manera ineludible el drama de los protagonistas de El vacío en el que flotas, y entonces seremos testigos --en este juego de ficciones en el que una historia parece desarrollarse dentro de otra, como en un set de muñecas rusas-- de tres relatos que comparten un mismo personaje. En el primero, una joven pareja pierde a su hijo pequeño en un atentado terrorista: la madre sobrevive, pero del niño no queda ningún rastro. En el segundo, un joven y desconocido escritor gana un importante premio literario: ahora disfruta y padece la fama lejos del hombre que lo crio, un ser enigmático pero lleno de compasión y ternura, una especie de artista de la noche que, ataviado de mujer, siempre aspiró a dedicarse a cantar en su propio cabaré. Y en el tercero, aquel hombre que se busca la vida, y a veces se viste de mujer, de repente llega a su pensión con un niño perdido: explica que los padres del pequeño murieron en un accidente y que él debe cuidarlo, porque es su única familia. Así, las tres historias se van entrecruzando, emergiendo unas de otras, para provocar una lectura intensa e llena de intriga que se pregunta por aquellos que nos dejan con el peso de su ausencia. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Three lives. A single story.
An intimate and exciting novel about family, loss and new opportunities, by the winner of the Alfaguara Prize.
"After spending half his life on the razor's edge, he detecting in this boy an irremediable pull toward vanishing." A bomb goes off and a child disappears, inextricably linking the lives of the protagonists of The Void in Which You Float. In this artful novel, stories develop one within the other like a set of Russian dolls, with a single character at their center. In the first plot, a young couple loses a child in a terrorist attack. The mother survives, but no trace is found of her son. In the second, an obscure young writer wins a prestigious literary award, navigating the ups and downs of fame far from the man who raised him - an enigmatic figure who nevertheless is full of tenderness and compassion, a would-be artist of the night who dresses as a woman and dreams of singing in his own cabaret. The third story features this same man, an occasional crossdresser struggling to make a living, who comes home to his rented room one day with a lost child, explaining that the parents died in an accident and, as the only living relative, he must take care of the boy. The three stories intertwine, growing one from another into an intense narrative haunted by those who leave us with the burden of their absence.

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.

Pretty Darn Good
Format: Kindle
So I’ve been on a omega kick and this definitely hit the spot. Madison was frustrating at times with how she acted towards Lucas, Gray, and Rian. It was like she said towards the end, she didn’t believe she deserved nice things.
It would have been nice to hear from her best friends again. They kind of were there in the beginning and the gone except for mention of text messages received from them. I feel like her friends would have been great help in encouraging Madison to go with the pack and never give Brent another chance because he was toxic.
I loved Rian. His personality was awesome. His humor. His ability to make Madison comfortable whenever she was feeling overwhelmed. And the fact he fell for her and she fell for him first. They are cute together.
I do feel like Lucas was the odd man out though. Like Lucas didn’t develop as much of a relationship with Madison. I would have really liked to see more development in the relationship between them. It was also the same with him and Rian. There is really no relationship displayed. Most of the relationship being displayed is between Rian and Gray.
Nevertheless, I loved reading about the dynamic that came to fruition during the entirety of this story. Madison finally got her happiness. And Brent finally got punched in the face. Everyone got exactly what they deserve.

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
