#DNF #July ##BookSpin

I gotta be true to myself - I can‘t read this. It‘s this 1900s murders that just were boring poisons and doesn‘t get enough into the dynamics to make me care about their stories enough. I don‘t want to read this

I VERY rarely bail on books, but I just didn‘t get this at all. After like 40 pages, I realized I wasn‘t going to be able to continue. Not sure if it‘s just my brain, but I couldn‘t make sense of it. #dnf

This never really came together for me. It was well-written, but I didn‘t feel like the ultimate threat really carried the story. I almost #dnf. #queer #horror

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. 3mo

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. 4mo
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. 4mo
