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.

    Yeah, it was pretty silly “gotcha twist” book. Honestly though, it could’ve been a lot worse. I read it for a book club and was scared to death that it would have tons of triggering ableism (my usual experience with thrillers that include mentions of “mental illness” stuff), but instead it was just run of the mill dumb, and certain details about the self-absorbed horribleness of the staff rang true to me.
