rubeusbeaky 's review for:
The Perfect Blood Series
by B.T. Annett
Holy guacamole, Batman! I have never read a campier, more cringey, wordy-yet-somehow-grammatically-incorrect, vapid piece of trash in my entire LIFE! XD This garbage was so much fun to hate-read, like Rifftrax but for YA paranormal romance. Where to begin!
1) Women in this book have no personalities. They are swooning, pretty trophies, or they are evil and ugly in the cruelest way: "bloated", "mannish", "gorilla-armed", etc. Repeatedly, male characters think to themselves that a woman in the room needs to "know her place".
2) A white, male "hero" walks away from the rookie black girl who idolizes him by saying, "I have a meeting with my equals." OOF!
3) A group of dead, "Asian businessmen" are dismissed because "They're not people." OOF, x2!!!!
4) The threatening vampires in this book include a Mexican woman immigrating children into America, a Japanese arms dealer with a yakuza level of subordinates, and a black club owner. OOOF, x3!!!
I could go on, but I think I should let my copious notes speak for themselves. This book is a perfect lesson in how NOT to write XD. I was so curious as to what brainless, toxic wasteland of a person could dream up this nonsense... The author bio says B.T. Annett started writing this book when he was 14... IT SHOWS! XD Did he dig it out of the closet ten years later and decide to publish it, unchanged, for $#17$ and giggles?! XD There is no way that any self-respecting editor or proofreader approved this book unironically.
EDIT: Also, don't call your first book "The Perfect Blood SERIES", because a single book and a series of books are two different things! XD
