Sick Wicked Love
by Rachel Jonas, Nikki Thorne
Sick Wicked Love? More like just SICK. ๐คฌ Get ready for a long rant because I'm MAD. ๐ก Let's get started.
1๏ธโฃ How can you introduce the villain last minute after three fking books and expect us to go "OMG I DIDN'T SEE THIS COMING! WHAT A TWIST!" Of course we didn't see it fucking coming because he didn't exist until 5 minutes ago! ๐คฏ The second book was literally NOTHING and all of a sudden, in this third book, they're firing new suspects left, right and center. I literally don't care anymore because I don't know ANY of these people. ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ They're just briefly introduced, touched on and then promptly left alone. โ๏ธIf they had all been properly explored from the 2nd book, it would have been easier to be invested.
When the real villain was finally revealed, I couldn't give a rat's ass! Because it's someone who was introduced literally a few pages ago! ๐คฌ This is the friggin Pretty Little Liars ending that everyone hated. Heads up authors! If you don't plant the villain early on enough, how do you expect your audience to care enough to feel the emotional impact and betrayal? ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
2๏ธโฃ And tell me why the FMC is so fking stupid to investigate every lead, confront every potential attacker alone? ๐คฏ Girlie pop, you have FOUR fking boyfriends! Get one of them to come with you!!!! Also, for four "overprotective" guys, they're sure comfortable letting her gallivant around town chasing potential r*pists and killers alone. ๐ The boys asked in the end why she went to meet the killer alone and she's like " It was the only way." HOW WAS IT THE ONLY WAY??? Yeah okay, going to get yourself and someone else killed was the only way to save everyone. Gotcha, that makes sense. ๐
3๏ธโฃ Maddox was made into useless fodder. ๐ It would have more realistic and enjoyable if he were the culprit. But no, he was a seed planted and used to occupy some useless pages. He's the FMC's supposed best friend and literally contributed absolutely nothing to the plot. ๐ซ
Also, The FMC forgiving and making up with Maddox at the end left a really really bad taste in my mouth. He literally admitted that whilst he was sleeping with her underaged sister, he was thinking of the FMC the whole time. ๐คฎ Even after her sister died, he still only had intentions of pursuing the FMC. ๐คข Disgusting. Criminal behavior. I literally hate him more than the actual villain. Again, because it's impossible to care for a character who was introduced in the last leg of the book. ๐
4๏ธโฃ For all the claims that she loved her sister, the FMC sure didn't show it. ๐ซค Not once throughout this series did she reminisce on her memories with her sister, not a single flashback, not a single memory. ๐ฅฒ How do you expect us to care about a character who was killed off before the series even started if you don't insert bits and pieces of her in the books? ๐คจ The series has ended and I can't even tell if the FMC and her sister was close or not while they were alive. No idea of the sister had a good relationship with their parents. No idea what kind of person she was. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO CARE??? Please actually SHOW us the bond they had instead of constantly just telling us! ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ
๐ถ๏ธ Hot take: this sounds harsh and I'm sorry but just stick to writing smut, dark romance and romance. Don't write mysteries or thrillers. ๐ ๐ปโโ๏ธ You guys don't know how to do it because this was so poorly done. ๐ I will give it to you, the romance aspects was actually great. The smut was beautiful. So stick with that! ๐ Unfortunately this series was centered around a mystery/thriller plot which just lost me completely. ๐ The 1 star I'm giving is for the romance and smut. Otherwise, it'd be zero stars.
