La realizadora del diablo. La amiga de Hitler. La mejor cineasta del siglo XX.

Para The New York Daily Mirror era «tan bonita como una cruz gamada», y para Goebbels, «la artista que mejor nos entiende». En mayo de 1945, tras la derrota de la Alemania nazi, Leni Riefenstahl quema documentos, cartas y material fotográfico en el jardín de su casa ante la inminente llegada de los americanos. Angustiada por su relación con Hitler y su círculo más íntimo, Leni rememora su pasado artístico y personal, un pasado que la convirtió en la mujer más célebre del Tercer Reich, enla directora más famosa del mundo y en la única persona capaz de tutear al Führer después de dirigir El triunfo de la voluntad, la película sobre el VI Congreso del Partido Nacionalsocialista. De talento inequívoco, su ascenso parecía imparable, pero la Noche de los Cristales Rotos y la Segunda Guerra Mundial cuestionaron su carrera como cineasta. Su nombre quedó así asociado al poder visual del nazismo y a la ambigua frontera entre arte y propaganda.

Cortejada por Mussolini y Stalin; admirada por Steven Spielberg, Ford Coppola y Quentin Tarantino; odiada por Marlene Dietrich, y elogiada por Charles Chaplin, Walt Disney, Andy Warhol o Mick Jagger, Leni Riefenstahl es uno de los personajes más controvertidos del siglo XX. ¿Fue una colaboracionista del nazismo o una víctima más del dictador?

Con más de 2,000,000 de ejemplares vendidos, Reyes Monforte vuelve con la primera novela sobre Leni Riefenstahl, en la que narra desde sus inicios como bailarina hasta los sonados romances que le dieron fama de mujer independiente y libertina.

La mirada del mal es un recorrido por el Berlín pecaminoso de la República Weimar, el ascenso del fascismo en Europa, la caída del Tercer Reich y la reinvención de quien fue considerada « los ojos de Hitler».

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The devil's filmmaker. Hitler's friend. The best filmmaker of the 20th century.

For The New York Daily Mirror, she was "as pretty as a swastika," and for Goebbels, "the artist who understands us best." In May 1945, after the defeat of Nazi Germany, Leni Riefenstahl burned documents, letters, and photographic material in her garden in anticipation of the imminent arrival of the Americans. Distressed by her relationship with Hitler and his inner circle, Leni recalls her artistic and personal past, a past that made her the most famous woman in the Third Reich, the most famous director in the world, and the only person capable of addressing the Führer informally after directing Triumph of the Will, the film about the Sixth Congress of the National Socialist Party. With her unmistakable talent, her rise seemed unstoppable, but Kristallnacht and World War II called her career as a filmmaker into question. Her name became associated with the visual power of Nazism and the ambiguous boundaries between art and propaganda.

Courted by Mussolini and Stalin; admired by Steven Spielberg, Francis Ford Coppola, and Quentin Tarantino; hated by Marlene Dietrich, and praised by Charles Chaplin, Walt Disney, Andy Warhol, and Mick Jagger, Leni Riefenstahl is one of the most controversial figures of the 20th century. Was she a collaborator with Nazism, or just another victim of the dictator?

With more than 2,000,000 copies sold, Reyes Monforte returns with the first novel about Leni Riefenstahl, in which she recounts her beginnings as a dancer and the notorious romances that gave her a reputation as an independent and libertine woman.

The Gaze of Evil is a journey through the sinful Berlin of the Weimar Republic, the rise of fascism in Europe, the fall of the Third Reich, and the reinvention of the woman who was considered "Hitler's eyes."

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.

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5

A good read
Format: Kindle
Multiple points of view. 3 Alpha men and an Omega male. She is a Beta in training for a new program placing betas in Alpha/Omega packs. Mila is only doing the program for the money to take care of her dad. She wasn't expecting to fall for a pack but when she sees this packs Omega she is done for. There is just something about him. His Alphas are good looking as well. Too bad she is hiding a secret and their government is acting shady. I liked it and can't wait to see where their story goes.

Slightly repetitive but I did love some things
Format: Kindle
I love this type of story. And omegaverse is one of my all time favorite genres. But there are a few things that pulled me out of my enjoyment while I was reading. It was repetitive at times as well as struggled with telling not showing. So we didn’t always feel like we were experiencing things with the main character. There were also some plot holes but they may still be answered in part 2. Now this isn’t to be said I didn’t enjoy parts of the story. I loved the almost instant love between Mila and Oliver. And how he started changing around her.
