I'll Be Waiting: A Novel | Kelley Armstrong

Unfortunately on to my "DNF" list this one goes. I made it almost half through and just never got into the story. For me it had a good beginning and then just seemed all muddled up in a way by the middle. Like the story just lost it's direction and momentum that it started with.

I tried. Honest I tried. 6 chapters in and I can‘t tell you what this book is about. just not for me!! Maybe I will pick up a quick easy cozy mystery or try to get another #roll100 finished. #DNF

I‘ve been trying to work my way through Offshore Ambush by Sherri Wilson Johnson. Decided after struggling through 25% that between the predictability and the heroine‘s extreme mood swings that didn‘t make sense to me, it wasn‘t worth the hassle. I hate not finishing a book… #dnf #readmorebooks #keepreading

RobinMcElveenAuthor One thing I did like about this book is the cover. It looks very close to how I pictured the hero. 5d

Just giving a heads up…I didn‘t finish this book. I will be shelving and maybe giving another try another time. . I just couldn‘t get into it. Didn‘t want to pick it up and read it. So I don‘t like forcing myself to read something I‘m not interested in. Nothing to do with the author at all. Just me. I may pick it up again sometime. What I read there was no bad language or inappropriate content that I remember. ⭐️⭐️ #DNF #LitsyReads #fiction

It has been a very long time since I bailed on a book so early. This book was so predictable; it was boring. Add to that my most hated trope—the super nice guy in love with the least liked female + wedding night attack. If you‘ve read this genre, you know what happens next. The problem is, unlike, say, Rule of Wolves, where you are so heavily invested in the other characters that you force yourself to read on, you do not care.

I tried. I really did. And since I‘m looking for new-to-me authors, I hoped to find another favorite author to follow. This book could definitely have been worse. The content was pleasant enough in general. It was clean up to the 30% mark. I even kinda liked one of the secondary characters. (Continued in comments) #dnf #readmorebooks

RobinMcElveenAuthor But the weird outbursts of passion and anger, and the blatant disregard for historical accuracy really threw me off. The dialogue wasn‘t terrible, but again, some of the words/phrases were too modern. I just felt bummed. There‘s potential here, but as it is right now, I‘ll have to pass. 3w
RobinMcElveenAuthor One other major issue which I forgot to mention (dunno how…🤦‍♀️) was the incessant POV flipping. I kept up, but that would throw someone like my youngest. 2w

I picked up Harmony during a long flight got 52% through, & never touched it again. LOVED the cult vibes, but it just didn‘t resonate. Maybe another time?

Stopped at 10%. Usually I love Scalzi, but i could not get into this story. Normally I fly through his pages, but I was creeping along with this one. Like reading just a few pages each sitting.

I wasn‘t looking forward to continuing, and even worse, I started dreading picking up my Kobo. That‘s when I knew to #DNF. Maybe I‘ll try again someday.

This is not a bad book at all, it is just making me uncomfortable and is just not for me. #hailthebail #dnf

Tamra It was okay, a bit repetitive. The premise is interesting though. 2mo
