What Fiction are you reading this week, November 17, 2019?

[Aquaria]

7. Gave up on the series after 14.

It was both stupid and disgusting.

Lost my patience with the series for good with that one. Almost gave up after the hot mess that was #6, but gave it another chance, against my better judgement. The other book really worth sticking with the series after that was #12, which is the best mystery of the series, and the most wrenching in its emotional and moral dilemmas.

Made me realize that Evanovich needs to stop putting Morello through the hell of Stephanie’s refusal to grow up. They will never be happy together, and dragging out a triangle making everyone miserable (especially the readers) is both cruel and unnecessary.

Enough, already. Pair Steph up with Ranger, once and for all. She will never be happy with the boring working class Trenton life that Morelli wants. Ranger has the money and the promise of risk-taking, adventure and danger she craves above all else. Evanovich needs to face the fact that her idiot heroine is that shallow and ridiculous.
