As a whole, I like the hook that leads to the next book--as long as the one I just finished was satisfying. <br /><br />Jessica, I agree on all points. And you're right, with a series, many authors avoid the heavy hook but leave enough minor plot threads dangling that the reader needs to read the next just to continue on the journey but not because of any immediate or foreseen threat.Kalayna Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13420169208237019578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34675192.post-35985851677534072832010-09-20T16:25:21.943-04:002010-09-20T16:25:21.943-04:00Trying to think really. It's hard. Some ending...Trying to think really. It's hard. Some endings I like, just because the characters are fine for the moment. Things aren't crazy anymore, there's peace, until the next book comes out.<br /><br />Cliffhangers...cliffhangers are evil incarnations of the writer's mind!! Granted, cliffhangers are a love-hate relationship for me. I love them because they really can leave you hanging and anticipate the next release so eagerly, but it's the same reason why I hate them. And usually because the next release is wayyyy too far off. It would be nice if the next one would be released the next day...but that's not usually how it works for me!<br /><br />I came across a cliffhanger just this year in one of my fave series and luckily the next book was due out the following month and then to make matters even greater, I won the book a few weeks early in a contest on the author's blog.<br /><br />So cliffhangers can be evil and delicious sometimes. Looking at my writing I don't really have that much of a cliffhanger going. Just a wondering what will happen to character now. Things are settled but there is still no HEA yet.Jessica @ a GREAT readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07554254368211246669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34675192.post-91201691645914753092010-09-20T15:46:25.716-04:002010-09-20T15:46:25.716-04:00I can't think of a particular book, but I reme...I can't think of a particular book, but I remember reading some series years ago that made you believe everything was fine and dandy at the end, but then you read the last page and you knew there was some kind of evil lurking... I like this kind of hook. Maybe it's because the main characters think they're safe and that life has returned to normal rather than leave them in immediate danger.<br /><br /><br />Lynnette Labelle<br />http://lynnettelabelle.blogspot.comLynnette Labellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03227593491562480538noreply@blogger.com
