Worst heroine ever
Aug. 17th, 2011 05:02 pmTried another Kinsale book, Prince of Midnight, am halfway through and will likely bail.
Oh my God, I do not remember the time I hated the heroine so. She is an utter utter bitch and I spend every page wishing for the hero to ditch her forever. His obsession with her makes no sense other than the fact she's hot but I am sure she's not the only pretty woman in Europe so wtf.
Seriously, she just pushes me into fits of rage. Her past history may explain why she's a bitch but it doesn't make her likeable or even tolerable, especially since hero has had nothing to do with her past issues. Ugh. Go die in a ditch, please! If a hero spent all the book treating heroine like dirt for the crime of being a nice person, I'd loathe his idiotic face. I don't see why it's any different if genders are reversed.
Hero also spent half the book being a beta male (ugh! there is no hero type I hate more than that outside of some bonafide rapist) though at least is getting spine back now. He's still besotted with psycho though, which makes no freaking sense at all.
I think I am going to skip more Kinsales from now on. I loved Flowers in the Storm but even there by the end the heroine was kinda grating on me, and in this one I outright hate the heroine. By that progression, in third book I'd put my fist through my kindle.
