This week there were a lot of books that were popping in and out of my mind, as possible choices for this topic, but I'm pretty happy with the ones I decided on. :)
1) Dare You To by Katie McGarry:
The Pushing The Limits series by Katie McGarry is one of my all time favorite book series, however I did not like Dare You To nearly as much as the other books simply because I found Beth's character to be downright obnoxious. I didn't care for the glimpses of her that were shown in the first book, Pushing The Limits, and I have to say that this book really did not redeem her too much in my eyes. I did however enjoy Ryan's character, and the continued glimpses of Noah, Echo, and Isaiah, but Beth's rude personality just left this book off of my favorites when I finished it.
2) Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins:
Anyone who knows me knows that my favorite book of all time is Stephanie Perkins' Anna and the French Kiss, so I was totally stoked to pick up the second one, Lola and the Boy Next Door. Unfortunately this one was slightly disappointing to me, and it was once again, because of the main character. I couldn't stand how Lola treated her parents, and numerous other people throughout the first half of the book, including Cricket. I know she had her reasons for being cautious around him, but she came across as rude and standoffish to me in the first part of the book. I definitely felt her character was redeemed in my eyes by the end of the book, and I still really did enjoy this overall story, I just don't care for it nearly as much as I loved Anna or Isla. :)
3) The Retribution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin:
Mara Dyer was without a doubt one of the most original, and compelling series that I've ever picked up. The first two left me with huge book hangovers, and I literally could not read them fast enough. While I honestly still loved the third book, it wasn't quite as amazing as the first two, and I wish she'd gone a slightly different direction with it, but overall this whole series was amazing, and I look forward to reading more from Michelle Hodkin in the future.
4) The Winner's Crime by Marie Rutkoski:
If you asked me at anytime what one of the most addicting books I've ever read is, I can guarantee you that The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski would always make the list. I completely loved that book, and could barely put it down. Unfortunately, I did not feel the same way about the second book, as I found it slightly slow moving, and not nearly as compelling as the first one. However, I have high hopes that I'm going to love The Winner's Kiss, when I get a chance to read it, and I'm hoping it will redeem the second book in my eyes.
5) Dark Passage by Ridley Pearson:
I'm a huge booknerd, and a huge fan of Disney, so when I first found out about The Kingdom Keeper
series, I knew it would be right up my alley. I've adored this series right from the start, and I'm continuing to love the spin off series, The Return, however Dark Passage, the sixth novel in the original series, just did not live up to the other books in my opinion. For some reason, I just didn't find it nearly as addicting or compelling as I found every other book in the series. While it's definitely still a good book, it's just not as good as all the others. :)
That's my picks for Least Favorite Books In My Favorite Series. I can't wait to see what books everyone else picked. :) Thanks for reading, and I'll see everyone on Friday when I'll be back with my March 2016 wrap up!
