Quite honestly I can’t stand only a few books that I’ve read, recently The Awakening by Nora Roberts.

Holy crap, do I reallllyyyyy want my money back. I was bored. So. Bored. The magic system was subpar, the characters just….ew, everything was so, so boring. The MC is an idiot.

What book is a zero star read for you?

    I stopped on the first page of the first Sookie Stackhouse novel. The overdone tropes.

    1. So beautiful woman with tight t-shirt and large breasts.
    2. Feels bad because she can read minds.
    3. Obvious future romantic interest in mysterious man who she can’t read his mind.

    I think there were a couple more. Just on the first page.

    When my book discussion group talked about the book, they said she’d talked about starting as a romance novelist and saw that there was a demand science fiction/fantasy/horror. So, she swapped to writing this crap. Just so formulaic.
