Series I Won't Finish

There are a lot of series I started because of the hype or I just thought I would love it and I hated/felt meh about them. So here is the list of series I will not finish (probably) ever. You can see almost all of them are YA. I'm more careful with those books now.
I'm not counting contemporary romance companion novel type of books, because we would be here for a long long time then.

  • A. C. Gaughen: Scarlet (only read the first book and hated it)
  • Sarah J. Maas: A Court of Thorns and Roses (only one book is out and I didn't hate it, but it was so disappointing and I can't take another page with these characters) 
  • Brandon Sanderson: Legion (yep, a BS series I don't like. I've read the first two and I'm not even sure there will be other books, but either way I don't care.)
  • Joe Abercrombie: Shattered Sea (I've read the first book and wasn't impressed and I'm a little hesitant about this one, so maybe I will continue on this trilogy, I don't know yet.) 
  • Mira Grant: Parasitology (I'm so sad about this, because I lovelovelove Mira Grant's Newsflesh trilogy - and it's not even a trilogy anymore, we'll get another book next year!! - but the first book in this series was so boring.) 
  • Orson Scott Card: The Ended Quintet (only read the first one and I was disappointed, but I liked it don't get me wrong, just stupid reviews ruined it for me. I haven't even read a review about this book actually, just people telling me what a huge twist there is and come on! that's a spoiler too. so I just don't care about this series that much.) 
  • Marie Lu: The Young Elites (me and Marie Lu don't get along, so I won't even try any other books she comes out with.) 
  • Carey Corp: Doon (read the first book and it was alright but I think I'm getting too old for these kind of characters.) 
  • Wendy Higgins: The Sweet Trilogy (this was just plain bad.) 
  • Lindsay Cummings: The Murder Complex (not that interesting to invest more time into this one.) 
  • Sarah Rees Brannan: The Lynburn Legacy (I've read Unspoken and hated every minute of it, I had to skim the second half otherwise I would have thrown the book out the window.) 
  • Jenny Han: Burn for Burn (I'm not sure about this. I loved the first book except the ending where things went in a weird direction and I don't like it.) 
  • Rachel Hawkins: Rebel Belle (the first book was just meh.) 
  • Dan Wells: The Partials Sequence (I liked the first book, but it was boring at times and I'm not sure I want to read the other books, because these books are not the shortest.) 
  • Morgan Rhodes: Falling Kingdoms (I will get so much hate for this, but the first two books were mediocre and why would I read a series I don't enjoy that much? I will probably try the prequel though.) 
  • Samantha Shannon: The Bone Season (only read the first book and it was more than enough.) 
  • Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner: Starbound (hated These Broken Stars with all my heart.) 
  • Jessica Spotswood: The Cahill Witch Chronicles (I've read the first book, Born Wicked, and it was okay but that's not enough.) 
  • Julie Kagawa: Blood of Eden (I've read the first one and kind of liked it, I don't even know why I haven't continued on with this series, but it was so long ago I don't even know what happened, so we'll see about this one, maybe I read a recap of the first book or something.) 
  • James Dashner: Maze Runner (wasn't impressed with the first book, rather watch the movies.) 
  • Jennifer L. Armentrout: Lux (I've read the first two, but these sexy alien type of books aren't my thing. I'm gettint too old for certain YA books apparently.) 
  • Pittacus Lore: Lorien Legacies (I've read the first three books more than 2 years ago and I had no idea about the whole James Frey thing then.) 
  • Cassandra Clare: TMI (I didn't care for the first book, so..) 
  • E. L. James: Fifty Shades (read the first book and just no.) 
  • Gena Showalter: The White Rabbit Chronicles (I've read the first book when it came out almost three years ago and I can't remember a thing. This one is a maybe too.)

  1. I'm the same way with The Maze Runner. The first book just didn't leave me wanting to read more and the movie was way more entertaining.
