Tragic by J.A. Huss

Tragic (Rook and Ronin, #1)
Chapter 13 is as far as I could get. I started reading it and was bored out of mind and put off by the cheesiness. I figured I was just tired so I played it through audiobook.

And unbelievable, I know, it got worse.

If I thought it was cheesy in my mind it was horribly cheesy spoken out loud. The beginning was fine, after getting into the apartment, shit went sour fast. Ronin locks her in so he don't have to watch her in the shitty neighborhood and so he can go out and have his fun. She has to put herself in danger to exit so she doesn't pass out from hunger. At the diner, Ronin just happens to be behind her where he cavemans her from hell and orders for her and acts like a complete controlling ass. And for some reason this gives her reason to moon over him all night after he calms down and gives her a push on the swing. She giggles to herself awkwardly and just thinks the dumbest shit.

Example: I giggle at my private swooning.

That whole I'LL ORDER FOR YOU thing is cute the first time they do it, maybe. It's not for me, but if I was another girl, it might be cute.


Yeah, that Ronin. He's one cute guy and all. But he's not for me. Even if he is tall and has those amazing blue eyes. I bet if we had babies our kids would have the most cornflower blue eyes ever. And dark Raven hair. Oh God, we'd make little model babies. They'd need agents at birth.
I am Crazy!


Did any of that make much sense to you?

Ronin was just a creepy creeper. He watches her lights and shadows from his terrace. Then he creeps over to her place, enters, gazes upon her naked and glorious beauty, startles her awake then gropes her and takes a picture of her with his phone. THIS IS FUCKING WEIRD, RIGHT? They were instantly infatuated with one another. Just....no words for it. I cant stomach this. I just want to laugh at how unbelievable it is and I just cant get into it for the life of me. Sucks because I liked idea of the story but the characters just aren't for me. Period.

I'm obviously the only one who feels this way with the amazing reviews. Sigh...
