Dead Ever After by Charlaine Harris
3.0
This has an incredible amount of negative reviews due to the ending because people seem to have a personal problem with it. However, the writing in this series has naturally developed into this ending and it does not come out of left field or feel contrived in any way. Some people say this book is terrible, but the other books are so good - I'm not sure why they say that when this follows the exact same formula as every other book in the series.
I think it's sad that people rate a book one star because they don't like the ending or someone ends up in a romantic relationship that they didn't want. As an example, in a Tamora Pierce series, I was displeased about a romance formed in the end, but it did not affect my enjoyment of the story as it felt natural to the character despite me not personally being a fan.
What I'm trying to say is this - this is not worse than any other book in the series, despite what all these reviews are saying! Overall, the series is a fun, quirky read, but nothing thought-provoking or super special. Some entries in the series are certainly missteps with lack of direction and contrived situations, but the author was trying to make something fun, and I think she succeeded. She certainly made people passionate about their own ideal ending that she got several death threats for her actual ending.
