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.
I wanted to love this book. I love fast read turn my brain off book candy, especially if it’s fantasy/romance, give me all the tropes. I love Sarah J Maas as an example. But it was soooo bad. The dialogue was so juvenile I told my husband it felt like they had to state their ages out loud multiple times so it didn’t read like child porn when it got to the spicy bits. Possibly some of the worst dialogue I’ve read in a long time. “Violence”??? Really that’s the best she’s got?? And so predictable in a very not creative fun way. I love a trope, give me all the tropes, but I still like to be surprised. Which I felt like it lacked any surprises. It felt like a bad “How to train your dragon” fanfiction. Like how 50 shades started as a Twilight fic.
