I feel like many people will not like what I have to say in this blog and that is ok. My opinions are my own and I am not trying to force them on anyone else, but this is a topic I need to rant about. So without further ado, here we go.
The young adult genre is losing its appeal for me, specially reverse harems. Lately, every book I read is the same. The story line is borderline identical. The books are great and I love reading them and I love the authors, but what I don’t love to read is a different version of the same story repeatedly. Amazon Kindle has a lot of up-and-coming books available for pre-order similar in title, and the story line is almost a carbon-copy of another book.
The reverse harem bully stories are getting a tad bit out of hand. Book after book I am reading the same thing over and repeatedly and it’s sickening. The books are great reads and highly addictive, but again I have read it a thousand times before. Three to four guys are the kings of their school and/or town. A new girl moves in and has a run in with the kings/bad boys. They are hell bent on tormenting and turning the whole school against the girl. Suddenly something happens and they accept the new girl into their circle and guess the fuck what she eagerly joins. It‘s the eagerness that really puts me off. They have all but killed you for months on end and suddenly they want to place nice and you fall in line, the fuck? Oh, it gets better. Most of the time, the niceness is an act or a lead up for the big guns.
Reverse harem bully stories are addictive. They have become my guilty pleasure and they remind you of trashy reality tv; it‘s so bad it’s good. Here a few books by authors I absolutely love that are great reads, but damn near identical storylines.
Savage Royals by Callie Rose
Filthy Rich Boys by C.M. Stunich
Broken Wings by Jaymin Eve and Tate James
These books have been amazing reads, and I have fallen for most of the characters. I just don't like how all three books have almost identical storylines. Callie Rose and Tate James are new authors for me and I love their style, it's just this someone has told this story many times before. Jaymon Eve and C.M. Stunich are authors I know and love and their artistry shows in everything they right, but again I have heard this story before.
I guess what I am trying to say is for reverse
