As a librarian, I read heaps of books so I have lots of titles I can recommend to Readers. This often means I never get to finish a series. My goal is to start finishing book series this year but I just can't continue with this YA series anymore. Why?
"Like I really want to kiss you right now." It's all the invitation I need. My hands sliding up to tangle and tug at his hair, as I yank his mouth down to mine. (view spoiler)[Hudson (hide spoiler)] groans low in his throat and then he's kissing me back. His lips and teeth and tongue ravaging mine like it's the end of the world and this is the last kiss any two people will ever share and I ravage him right back. Biting, licking, sucking, kissing...
and so on and so forth.
Plus it's 22 hours long. I'm just over half way through and hardly anything has happened. These books need a massive edit in which they are slashed in half.
Others have loved it so I'm happy it has an audience....more

Well I really tried.
Please do not be put off by my DNF. This had some incredibly interesting stories in the parts I read. Genuinely fascinating.
