OneStarReads (141 KP) rated The End (A Series of Unfortunate Events #13) in Books
Aug 13, 2018
I created a video explaining my slow decent into hating this series, book by book, for your viewing pleasure:
Had this series been clearly well thought out- you know, like not following a template, the characters not changing at a moments notice, and the story not being varying degrees of ridiculous- I might have congratulated this book on its willingness to put itself out there and not answer the questions it built up to through this series. I would have comended it for being strong enough to end a story like this, and teaching readers that you don't always get what you want, or a happy ending for that matter.
But this story, though all of its books, has components of the list above. They each follow the same template, the characters change personality whenever it is needed, and the plot is all over the place in tone. So no, I will not congratulate this story for ending this way. I can see what he might've been going for, but with the story up until now, it made this last book feel more like a cop out.
So yea, this is over.

Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated Crave: Part Two (Crave Duet, #2) in Books
May 7, 2019
This is the second part in this series by this author. After reading the first book, I couldn't wait for this book and it did not disappoint one bit. This book is a story of pain, fear and love. The characters are still as amazing as in the first book. The secondary characters brought so much to this story. Another fantastic read by this amazing author. I can't wait to read more from them in the future.
Highly recommended series

My absolute favourite series at the moment! Despite the dystopian setting it is scary how real the problems portrayed can seem and how possible the world feels! This is the only time I will probably ever say this but I much prefer the TV series than the book, not to say it’s a bad book, but that the show is that’s good!

4.5 stars.
ARGH!!! What is it with authors lately and cliff-hanger endings?!?! First the Gypsy Brothers series and now this one.
BUT I love Zeth. He's not your typical bad guy; he is the baddest bad guy who's sexy as hell and into some rather kinky stuff.
Yeah, erotica is not my favourite genre ever but sometimes...well I find the perfect blend of erotica and budding romance and that is this series. You can just tell that something amazing is going to happen between Sloane and Zeth.
Can't wait to read the next book in the series.
