What was THE MOMENT for you?

Hey Fellow Lashers. 

I've got a question I've been wondering about for you all. Consider it a survey of sorts.

What was THE MOMENT when you knew that you were done with AB:VH (Or even Merry?) I'm not talking about the bad grammer, the endless, bore me to death sex scenes, or LKH not even remembering how to spell her own character names. (We've all plodded along with those in the hopes that it would someday get better.) I mean the moment when it FINALLY happened. When you threw whatever book you were reading across the room and just KNEW you were never going to pick it up again?

For me, it had to be in Incubus Dreams. I almost did it when we found out Richard was now a rape victim (WHAT?? A-fucking-NOTHER one?? Can you not have a dick in the AB world and not get raped?) But I held on. Then it was almost the sex scene were Anita goes on and on in great detail about barfing and blowjobs, followed by the 18 thousand fuckmefuckmefuckmes at the end. But not quite - I was plodding along until....

The bad guys leave a note. 

After all this drama, all this tension (well, no not really, but let's pretend), said bad guys don't even show up and do a "Whoops! Our bad! So sorry. Gotta-go-bye!" 

For me, that was IT! I was never ever EVER going to pay good money to read this woman's crap again. And I feel so much freer for it!

What was everyone's else THAT'S IT moment of clarity? 

Just curious.

P.S. For Merry, it was in the last book, which I didn't even bother to read, when my friend mentioned to me that is was 384 pages and they STILL hadn't made it to the Seelie Court. But they sure as hell did fuck alot. BAH!!

I think, for me, it was the shower scene with Micah. I read Narcissus in Chains twice because I couldn't believe what I was reading. I was determined though! The next one will suck less, right?

Well, I don't even remember what Cerulean Sins was about..and I READ that one. UGH. I also don't remember much from Incubus Dreams. That one took me a while to read....I had to keep throwing the book in the trash.

My mom bought Micah cause it was on sale in BJs. I read that recently on the train. Yea...I have no comment on that book. None at all...

I'll probably poke Danse Macabre when it comes out in paperback. I am SO not paying 25 bucks for that book. Maybe I'll read it in the aisle at Borders. Though I might get worried people will look over my shoulder.

I don't actually remember reading Mistral's Kiss......::checks bookshelf::
Ah..last one I read was A Stroke of Midnight.

Curiosity will be what's going to keep me reading these books. For those few and far between moments of awesome paragraphs.

And to think, Mi... if it wasn't for Anita we would never had met!!!
