bookshelves: probably-not

How does Ward continue a series after the last book was the ending? She hopped forward, told in short order who lived, died, and what happened in their lives. No, she didn't allow us to read it in the storyline. Instead, we are TOLD about 40 or so years of the group's lives in a page or two. And now she wants to drop another book, like that didn't happen? Of course it would be about Zsadist. It's hard to resist the desire to read about him. But that just makes this feel more like a ploy.

Lacey This actually helps. I am about 5 books behind. I canceled this book because I’m do far behind but I’ve heard she’s more into the kids of each pair.

Meh. I liked the OG guys. But there are plenty of books in the sea, and I'm not hurting without hers.

Debora Lima I just feel she got lost since she introduced a bunch of characters and now don’t know what to do with them, so why not make a timeskip and fuck them and start over? 🤡

Jason Bradley That's when you start a new series, not fuck the fans of this one. LOL

Debora Lima BDB should have ended years ago. But since it’s her most popular series she wouldn’t let the cash go away. She should have ended or even make a novella for the years that wrath was missing and done. Let’s pretend everyone is happy and everything is rainbows and sunshine.

Well, what she has done is make some of her fans hesitant to start a new series of hers.

MsMiz (Tina) She lost me when she changed her own lore and rules. also, the random Hs were driving me crazy. I would rather read the originals over and over than continue.

Mullen Natalie even if she started a new series with the kids, and that is what she did with this book anyway, it leaves you with questions that did not get answered. She could have wrapped the " old " series up with a book about Wrath being back and what is going on now. And then started this second Series with the kids. Now she is, so it seems, dragging people from the Prison Camp book into the mix in the next book .. lets be real here: This BDB Series is done and going down the drain for some time now. I think BDB is still a pull people buy it, so she keeps the mess running under the BDB Brand running. She tried to pull the woke people in and tries to keep the other readers as well. She clearly ran out of ideas or she would not got Lash back.. that was already something I really hates. Plus we are dealing with a time in the future, a WEF wet dream, also. This is as bad as it can get. I am waiting on V having his own space shuttle and aliens visiting the king now... would not surprise me at all. The books are awful.
