The Word is Murder

Anthony Horowitz

DID NOT FINISH: 14%

I just don't get this one. The author inserted himself into the story. It's all very meta and confusing. I want my thrillers captavating and this didn't grab my attention at all. 

The Bennet Women

Eden Appiah-Kubi

DID NOT FINISH: 33%

After getting about 1/3 way through I had to give up. Nothing happened! I was so bored and couldn't even force myself to keep reading. Kind of disappointed.

Hungry Hearts: 13 Tales of Food & Love

Elsie Chapman

DID NOT FINISH: 22%

After 3 of the stories I decided to call it quits. I know its YA but I expected better writing/prose. I also hated how different each story was, bouncing around from genre to genre. The food aspect felt forced. Great idea, but poor execution in my opinion. 

The Last Final Girl

Stephen Graham Jones

DID NOT FINISH: 44%

The concept is incredible, however the execution is just not for me. I finished "Act 1" and couldn't tell you any characters names or much of what happened.  I just don't think the movie screenplay layout worked and it made the book confusing and hard to follow.

Den of Vipers

K.A. Knight

DID NOT FINISH: 9%

Just no! Not trying to shame people, but if this is your thing then, WOW. Probably won't pick up again. 

Ninth House

Leigh Bardugo

DID NOT FINISH: 20%

I was really looking forward to reading this book but after about 100 pages I had to give up. Life is too short to read books you don't like! 
The set up was so lengthy that I felt like NOTHING happened in 100 pages. Too much world building/magic that didn't really make sense. Not my type of fantasy. Will be unhauling this soon.
