Books That Need to Die!


Mailyn tagged me for this one. I'm not even sure how many I'll add to this list, so bear with me. Feel free to add your own in the comments section, though.

1) A Kingdom of Dreams by Judith McNaught. Her heroine was one of the biggest POS's I've ever read about in my entire LIFE! Yes, it was that bad. I don't care what you say her reasons for being TSTL are, she sucked, plain and simple. What could have been an amazing story turned into a nightmare because of the heroine.

2) A Knight In Shining Armor by Jude Deveraux. What.The.Hell. This book had the potential of being one of the greatest ever written. The story was awesome, the character development dead on. I was so wrapped up in the story I was IN TEARS throughout most of the book. And then it ended. I would have to say this is the worst romance novel ending in the history of romance novels. Seriously. It's that bad.

3) All That Glitter by Linda Howard. I've been a Linda Howard fangirl for ages, but this book needs to DIE! A slow and painful death. You have no idea how happy I am that I read most of her backlist before I read this one, because I would have just ignored her afterwards. Yes, it was that bad. The hero was an unforgiving clod and the heroine a complete doormat. I still get pissed off just thinking about this book, and I read it more than three years ago. The entire thing sucked, from the plot to the actions of the characters. Stay far away from this one!

4) Phantom Waltz by Catherine Anderson. The heroine was a big fat wussy who was way TSTL and the hero was such a push over I almost gagged. What had the potential of being a great story just ended up making my stomach roll.

5) Scandal of the Black Rose by Debra Mullins. I've never read a more DONE book in my life. The heroine was one of those idiots with Penis Envy and the hero just let her be that way. Plus, the plot was recycled.

6) After the Fire by Katherine Shay. How in the world can you write a ROMANCE NOVEL and have the hero be married the ENTIRE book? Until the last 20 pages, the hero was married (and living with) a woman besides the heroine. A woman that he'd pledged to spend the rest of his life with. Perhaps their marriage wasn't going well, but it doesn't change the fact that until 3/4 of the way through the story they were STILL SHARING A BEDROOM! WTF? How bout..NO!?!

7) Prince of Swords by Anne Stuart. The hero dressed in high-heels, carried a scented lace handkerchief and purred like a cat. Need I say more?

Ok, I'm drawing a blank of the rest of the books that bug me, so I'll stop there for now. I'm not going to tag a specific person for this, but if you have some books you think should die, post about them, and let me know so I can check it out.
