Books I Did Not Finish! - 12/08/2013

Hello everyone, it's that time of week again! Welcome to another Books I Did Not Finish! The place were instead of telling you about all the books I loved I share the ones that range from disappointing me to me out right hating them!

This week the chosen book lies some where in the middle of the above statement. Why? Well this book is a sequel. A sequel to a book, I very much enjoyed, you can read the review I wrote of book one here. Sadly the sequel did not live up to my expectations and so it is with regret that I have to include it in this series.


The Elite

Tagline: 35 GIRLS CAME TO THE PALACE. ONLY 6 REMAIN.

Like most people who enjoyed the first book I recognised it had it's faults, the world building wasn't great, it didn't really work as a dystopian (more on this later) and yes it was cheesy, but it was the cheesiness that made it enjoyable in it's Bachelor-esque game show plot for the Princes heart. Yet even in this the sequel The Elite some how failed.
