I'm just reading like 2-3 sentences a page now and even when I occasionally go back and read a full page, I find I haven't missed anything. This book is suddenly somewhat bearable if you just skip 80% of what's on the page.

Okay, if Catherine isn't a vampire hunter pretending to be a normal person with a lobotomy, I'm just going to do nothing because this book doesn't deserve any real emotion or energy. I'm speed reading at this point.

Cool so I think this is now the 3rd time Catherine has said it's weird that only 2 people live in a castle. I constantly want this awful stilted conversation to end and it just keeps going.

This is a horrible slog. I need to make it to 25%. I paid real money. But omg nothing is happening except awful, awkward conversation and 2 women failing the Bechdel test spectacularly.

Edward the vampire. Wonder where I've heard that before.
Granted Edward Bloom is the main character of Big Fish so at least the guy with the same name isn't a vampire.

"I don't know how long I've have had" would you like me to edit your books for you? My rates are low and I'm very good at it.

Why do I keep buying 99c books and keep hoping I won't hate it. This writer's voice is absolutely awful.

she verb she verb she verb she verb she verb she verb she verb she verb. Jesus Christ this is how I write when I don't give a shit and don't plan on anyone else seeing it.
