Sorry, that’s pretty much all I remember this time. It’s possibly a kids book, but I can’t remember ‘pictures’ or ‘kids’ when I think of it. I have a feeling it MAY have been, not grown up, but maybe not entirely kid written tho... if that makes any sense? Not a primary school reader thats designed for kids, but then it may still be a kids book, or not.
It may have had other stories around it, but I can’t even vaguely remember them... or that they WEREN’T there.
The only other thing that might be true was possibly a cheeky hyena? Maybe.

Money grab! That’s it. I LOATHE cliffhangers!!!! Truely loathe.
There is a difference between a long series that needs to cover more books, and the serial/chapter ‘books’ you’re talking about.
IF the book is full, and the side elements (for that books storyline) are mostly wrapped up, but the bigger story hangs over to the next book or series, I can deal, usually, maybe... look, I probably won’t bitch quite as much. But if the book is obviously filled with fluff to make a cliffhanger ’needed’, it makes my blood boil.
There are a some series that straddle the line imo. Janet Evanovich, Stephanie Plum series pops to mind. She’s made a style out of leaving the book in the middle of a scene, and I can get over it... most probably because I was later to the series, so could generally go from one book to the next - to literally see who was at the door for a booty call 🙄. It’s much harder to forgive when there’s a year wait between books.
As for books that are cut into chapters and called a series... they send me nuclear! I’ll rarely paid anything for them on principle. Even if I manage to get 1&2 for free and only need a couple of $ to get that final chapter. The last time I caved, I was ridiculously disappointed with the let down that was the last book. It fell into what I think is pretty much the standard, which has the author just shoehorning crap in and tying knots in anything that looks like a loose end.
It’s becoming obviously that for the most part, the authors who write these ‘serials’, do it because they can’t actually write a book properly. They tend to have a good idea, but don’t know how to pull it off, to turn it into a chapter book to try and keep people on the hook and paying for as long as they can. You might not pay $9 for a book, but you might pay $3x3 just to find out the ending.
Books about: the lives, activities, drama, feuds, of residents in a small ‘company’ mining town.

So, I’m looking for books that are set in small, closed to the public, company owned mining towns. Either FIFO, residential or both. Not towns that are set in normal towns where generations are expected to stay on and work the same mines. Not really focus on ‘the mine’ side of things either, but the lives, times and drama of the residents/workers/families.
Probably hoping for some humour, but there ample opportunities for these books to be about feuds and drama.
Thanks
Oops, 3013: is generally not 300 pages, but thy e series is long.
Erotica. Mostly polyandry. The sex is pretty full on (especially the first one), and in rereads, I mostly read around the sex, but the character and world are awesome. There are multiple writers writing different books in the series. The first dozen or so are pretty good, but I think the series has devolved into a bit of a cash cow that they seem to be pushing out without real attention to the story. The characters are still good, along with the world, but it’s all really rushed. Search “3013:” to find them all because authors change.
Mates is the first one.
