I have two. The Ritual and Drowning.

The Ritual is pure smut. 61 chapters and every one contains a graphic, demeaning sex scene. I’m convinced the author was an adult film screenwriter and decided to try their hand at writing a novel. There isn’t a single likable character in this book.

Drowning isn’t a great work of literature. I felt that the characters were very two-dimensional. I hated how naive the author made the protagonist. It made me have a lack of sympathy for her. The ending was series finale of Dexter bad.

    Sadly, I think The Fisherman. I wanted to love it, went in with no expectations and an open mind but man it was a drag. The story within a story did NOT work for me at all and I had to force myself to finish. I really like weirder, lovecraftian horror stories but this had nothing that interested me and felt like it should’ve been a short story

    Edit: it wasn’t like…trash or horribly written, just boring and bland for me. That says more about the high quality of other books I’ve been reading this year and less about the quality of the fisherman itself
