Contempt by Sam Mariano

3.0

You would think that after writing a whole ass filler book about Landon and Parker’s parents to set up their story that this book would be pretty focused on their relationship. But it wasn’t.

I did actually like Landon and Parker, especially Landon. I loved how obsessive and possessive he was although it was very dialled down compared to what I thought he would be like. He could actually be very sweet. I also liked Parker and how she fought him although after they got together she became a little bit of a pushover and all the dark elements of their relationship disappeared. But I also feel like they had so much potential as a couple if they weren’t side characters in their own book because this book was literally a prequel for Hannah’s books.

I liked Hannah because she seems very sweet but I didn’t like that the author was shoving this down the readers throat. Like we get it.

I also hated all the shit between Hannah, Dare, Aubrey and Anae. With the way the author is setting up Hannah’s book and because of that stupid bonus chapter it looks like Hannah might end up with Dare or in a throuple with Dare and Aubrey which I think is absolute bullshit. If that happens then there was literally no point to the first book and Aubrey and Dare are ruined. After this book I think their relationship is already ruined for me. I just can’t believe how this author obviously believes she’s some mastermind when the way this series is headed is so incredibly stupid.

I wanted her to continue the Untouchables series but due to her latest books I don’t want her to go NEAR Carter and Zoe.
