Everyone hates when their favorite author kills their favorite character in their favorite series. Most times I can forgive the author. I grieve, make excuses on how I understand it was necessary for the story, blah, blah, blah.

I recently came across the unforgiveable thing an author can do to a reader like me.

I read the most epic love story. Shifters, Fae, battles, true love, fights to the death, and just everything a good fantasy romance should comprise.

There I am ready for book two in the series, and what do I find out (so glad someone else read it first and warned me)? The true love mates, suddenly the female is torn and thinks she might have feelings for her mate's brother. Oh my gosh! It's not fated mates or true love anymore. Come to find out, the girl is going to end up with both brothers as mates in the end.

I can watch horror movies. I can walk outside at night, in the dark, fearless. But give me a book with one woman and more than one man, and I have nightmares. What woman in their right mind wants to put up with more than one man?

I hate reading blurbs and synopsis because I feel it puts an expectation on the story and if it's not lived up to I'm disappointed. That's just me.

After starting a book that did have reverse harem in the blurb and I overlooked it, that was my fault. I closed it mid read, and said nope, can't do it.

Writing a book, getting readers attached to the couple, and then turning the love story upside down in another book, ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, NOT OK.

To each his own. I get it. But give readers all that information up front.

Rant over.
