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.

    The latest Jack Reacher book - lately they are too long, too much filler and not enough suspense

    A Frieda McFadden book, One By One - a category I like (suspense, psychological thriller) and she was recommended by a few people but I found the writing pretty mediocre, the characters not interesting.

    The Daughter of Time - there’s always a popular writer that some people seem to love, and one of their books people always point to and for a lot of them its Josephine Tey’s The Daughter of Time, but I just found this tedious.
