The writing style was so difficult to get into and the whole thing confused me. I don't even know how to describe the story since the narration doesn't make any sense to me at all. And so I decided to break the agony and just let this book go.

"I have rules," he said. "You don't get to ask questions, no matter what. Do you understand? Rule two is you answer my questions, and you have to answer them honestly. The last rule is your body belongs to me."
I gave up at 23%.

The writing was good but I simply can't connect with the characters and with all the things they did. I like books with kinks but I found the club and their rules kind of weird and ridiculous. Also, I didn't find Logan sexy. Not at all.
This book was introduced to me by a friend and she liked it but sad to say, it didn't work out for me. :(

That's it. I'm out.
I've tried so hard to like this book because of so many positive reviews. Unfortunately it didn't measure up. I've been putting this book down for days and every time I try to go back and continue it, it just didn't work out.
I really didn’t care about any of the characters and that's the main problem I had with this book. Also, I find everything so far-fetched. I couldn't believe how the heroine Mia Corelli turned into a total vixen after being deflowered by Ben in a one-night stand. Ha! Not to mention how she became at her horniest every time Ben was around and how she kept on reminding herself that she hated him. C'mon, you can't hate a person while lusting over him at the same time.
You have got to be kidding me!
As for Ben... I was so bothered with his over-possessiveness even though he and Mia were still not together.

One of the things I hate doing so much is DNF-ing a book because it feels bad to leave it when you've invested yoursFirst DNF book of the year.

One of the things I hate doing so much is DNF-ing a book because it feels bad to leave it when you've invested yourself in it in the first place. But sometimes you just have to quit because it just doesn't work out for you. And you can no longer fool yourself and hope that things will get better as the story goes.
So yeah.. I DNF-ed this book for these reasons:
1. Writing Style - This book is poorly written and executed. I see so much potentials in this book but it fails to hold my attention most of the time because of the boring writing.
2. Plot - You can never find an absolute plot in this book. Every chapter is a complete waste because of so many unnecessary scenes that don't make any sense at all.
[image]
3. Main Characters - If you can't love the main characters, then there's no reason to continue it. Why pretend and fool yourself? Tessa and Hardin are both immature characters. They always bicker like children and wow, their childish behavior annoys the crap out of me! And don't even get me started on Hardin's attitude! Gaaah this guy makes me want to pull my hair out because he's simply such a prick!
4. Cheating - Just so we're clear, I despise books with cheating, but I admit that there are books that I loved even when there's cheating involved but that's because they're simply well-written and well-justified. But this? A girl cheats on her boyfriend just because her boyfriend is boring and omg there's a tattooed and pierced boy-next-door who's way hotter and exciting than him. What the actual f*ck? And damn Hardin. This guy! He knows the girl has a boyfriend and yet he continues to seduce her just so he can prove that he's a sex god!

I hate to say this but this book now belongs to my DNF shelf. It's hard to go on reading when you're not enjoying it at all. So I stopped. I couldn't connect with the characters and although Belle Aurora's writing has improved here, and there's also humor, it just doesn't work out for me. While I love the male lead Nox, the female mc Lily otherwise annoys the heck out of me. I just kind of don't like her attitude. She's so whiny and all. :( To those who loved this book, I am so sorry. :(...more
I downloaded this book on Amazon because it's free and it has a nice cover and the premise seems cute. Unfortunately though, while reading this book II downloaded this book on Amazon because it's free and it has a nice cover and the premise seems cute. Unfortunately though, while reading this book I found out that the writing style doesn't suit me. I couldn't get into it. It's potentially good because of its quirky theme but the way the author wrote it seems to be a bit difficult for me to relate. Plus, the characters keep bantering in a very childish way. I specifically dislike Ruth Ann. She is full of whine and blah blah blah, like duh?! I can't help but roll my eyes. I hate characters like her. This book was really not for me.

I'm sorry but I could not finish this book. It just did not click for me. The start was so boring and there were terms about football that are so hard to grasp. Yes there were scenes that are hot, but that's the only thing that's interesting about this book. The romance was off and so was the chemistry between the three main characters. I think it's the author's writing style that did not grab me at all.

I'm so sorry, guys. And I'm so sorry, AJ, my friend, who recommended this to me. :((
It's just that... I really, really wanted to like this. But I just can't. I mean, I'm not the type of reader who does this DNF-ing thing, but I was forced because I can't tolerate the immaturity of this book. Yes, there was a ton of it and it was getting annoying every single second and it was already getting on my nerves to the point that I could no longer take it.
When I first met Isis at the beginning chapter, I thought she was cool, funny, and brave-- a little sarcastic and snarky but tolerable, but as the story progressed, I realized she's difficult to like and get along with. She was no longer making any sense and she kept on whining about how bad she looks and how fat she was and how shaken she was when she was ditched by her ex and how insecure she is every time she encounters her chic school mates. Ugh! Isis is one of those characters that really pull the bitch out of me and make me roll my eyes every time.
Jack, on the other hand, is-- I dunno. He's a likeable character but definitely not the one who could be labeled as a book boyfriend. He's always too passive and I think his character development is so poor I could not really connect with him.
At some point I was trying to convince myself to continue it and read it up to the very final chapter to find out how it ends. I've read from reviews that it has a cliffhanger ending and I love cliffhangers because they're challenging but I no longer have the interest to continue.
So yeah, this book unfortunately did not get me. Again, I'm sorry especially for the guys who loved this book. I really am. :(...more

I've read it last year (2015) and had to stop at some scene because I thought I was not yet ready for a heavy drama, but I lost interest, anways, so I decided to not continue it anymore. Maybe the book lacked the power to draw me in or something. Or maybe the characters failed to make me feel connected with them. I just cannot bring myself to go back into it....more

I’m sorry but I can no longer convince myself that I will like this book. I decided to discontinue it at 35% because (I hate to say this), this book is disappointing.
First of all, The Iron King was simply one of the best fantasy books I’ve read and I even rated it 5 stars. This book, however, is surprisingly not the one that I have really expected. I can’t bear with the characters. They totally ruined the book.
Meghan– the used-to-be brave and headstrong female character I have loved in The Iron King, suddenly became too vulnerable and soft JUST because she’s too in love and obsessed with Prince Ash– who, by the way, doesn’t even care for her and doesn’t even hesitate to tell her to leave him alone.
WTH? He’s definitely not the kind of male character that will entice me. I have sooo much expectations with him after the first book, that perhaps in the second installment his character will be better and will eventually improve. Did I get it? Nope.
“But after tonight, we’ll be enemies. Your father and my mother will be at war. If I see you again, I might kill you.” His eyes narrowed, and his voice turned cold. “For real this time, Meghan.”
No. Ash is such a jerk, annoyingly cold, proud guy who’s soo freakin’ scared of his mommy. Sorry, but his name’s already erased on my book boyfriends. Lol. :D
Going back to Meghan, this girl has really changed here. I want to kick her in the a** for being such a naive, cry-baby character she’s kind of getting on my nerves. :(
The plot is also slow and not so promising. My friends told me things will be better in part 2, but I don’t think I still have the interest to go on. Maybe I should focus on other series and just let everything in The Iron Fey pass.
