So I have issues with reading the last book in a series. I buy them, but never read them. I have an entire shelf dedicated to last books. Does anyone else do this?
I want to read them, but then I don’t want to read them. I just can’t bring myself to read them. My reasons that I keep telling myself is that I don’t want the series to end, so if I never read it, then it never has to end. I also tell myself I am afraid to read it, because what if I hate the ending, and I will regret reading it, and be mad at the author for it.
Let me just say that I have been coerced into reading a few last books. I HATED EVERY SINGLE ENDING! I am sorry Jeanine Frost, but the ending of the Cat and Bones series sucked. (if you don’t know this series, you must correct that error) The ending only sucked because she should have killed Tate 3 books before the last one or at least gave us the joy of Bones killing him in the last book. I HATE TATE!!
See this is what I’m talking about. Here I go on a tangent about the ending because she decided to keep the worst character in the book all the way to the end. This is what happens, so I don’t read them. If I hadn’t read the last Cat and Bones book, I could have pretended that Bones finally killed him! Can someone besides Karen and I who has read this entire series tell me if you agree with us?
I am stuck between a rock and a hard place right now. Darynda Jones will be putting out the last book in the Charley Davidson series soon, and I love that series, but I don’t know if I am going to be able to read it.
Ok I am ready for your comments, opinions, and if anyone has overcome this, please let me know.
Peace,
Les
I know how you feel on not wanting to end. BUT I have to read the last book. If I have them personally that it makes it a little easier. I have not read these books.

I have been postponing reading the last book in The Hollows series for a while now. I love the series and enjoy reading it but for some reason I cant make myself to start on the last book…

I totally understand. What if the finale is terrible? Or even worse, what if it is great, but then there will be no more books to continue the story of those great characters? There are two series by Ann Aguirre (Sirantha Jax and Dred Chronicles) that I have not finished yet. I did just finish Kevin Hearne’s Iron Druid series and I am glad I did!
