Series You're Not Going to Finish

Some that come to mind are Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer, Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr, Faery Rebels by T. J. Anderson and perhaps Stray by Monica Hesse.
The Maze Runner and The Wrath and the Dawn
Maybe I'll change my mind at some point... but for now I have no plans to finish Red Queen or Throne of Glass.
Red Queen is a really good series, I just finished it a while ago. Although the ending isn't what you quite expect :)
The only series I haven planned on finishing so far has been The White Rabbit Chronicles by Gena Showalter. I just couldn't do the whole zombie thing.

I've seen some people say the beginning is kind of slow but that it gets better?
The Lunar Chronicles, and I know this is a very loved book but I've tried to get through Cinder three times and I just can't do it.
I have a couple haha... Sea Breeze, vampire diaries, fifty shades of grey, Dexter, Love at Stake ...
I don't remember what the series is called but the series with The Young Elites By: Marie Lu. Didn't really like The Young Elites and wasn't able to finish The Rose Society.

I guess I have a lot... but I 'm going to say Shadow hunters. I read the first book and didn't like it that much, so I didn't think it was worth the time.
Probably going to be the Selection series. The first three books about America were absolutely amazing!!! But the last 2 books about Maxon's daughter I think are going to be really bad. I can't even get past chapter nine.

Personally I found Glass Sword to be weak.
House of Night.The story is fine but the way its narrated is just NOT.
The selection. I recently read the two first books but I did not like them at all. They were just so predictable and Mason really disturbs me, so Iḿ not finishing the series.
Probably Lunar Chronicles and The Iron King...both have whiny and annoying heroines..These stories are just not made for me.
I've read Red Queen and Glass Sword, and I read probably 14% of King's Cage before I gave up and left. I will not be finishing the last book.
Will not finish Grisha Trilogy by Leigh Bardugoor Chronicles of Nick series by Sherrilyn Kenyon or
Dorothy Must Die series by Danielle Paige or Half Bad Trilogy by
Sally Green
I'm not going to finish Fifty Shades of Grey...Yeah...I'll just leave it at that....
The Gone Series by Michael Grant. I think it has an awesome plot but unlike most of you I just can't stand his writing style.
I am not going to finish Runes book two which is immortals by Ednah Walters, the connection is just not there and the thrill of what will happen next is lacking. I tried Delirium but left it at that, book 1, it was enough of a struggle on it's own.
Hmmm, I've got more series than I'd like to admit being put on the "abandoned series" shelf. Let's start with Red Queen, Maze Runner, Raven Cycle, Dark Artifices, House of Night. There are some others, but I'm such a completionish I just might end up picking them back up. But most definitely not the ones I've just listed. I just can't give a crap about these. =/
I'm not reading the 6th book of the Throne of Glass series. I do not care about that point of view from that character. I really wish Manon would have gotten her own book because she is far more interesting.
☝️☝️I'm not going to finish the Gone series either because I found the first one too boring. Also The Medusa Project by Sophie McKenzie - I just don't care enough about the characters.
Divergent series :/ I find Veronica Roth's descriptions of action scenes so hard to follow that I gave up
I drop about 70-80% of the series I start after book 1 or 2. A vote for Gone also (hated it enough to review it).
Half bad, Insignia, Half a king, Diabolic are among the latest.
I liked the first two books in the Throne of Glass series, but by the time I got to the third book I completely lost interest.
No! You have to finish Throne of Glass! And probably the hunt series
I barely managed to finished The sword of Shannara which was written in 1977. I just can’t bring myself to finish the series.
Daughter of Smoke and Bone. I finished the 1st one today and it just didn't thrill me.
I won't finish the The Iron King series. The first book didn't thrill me and the main character is annoying me..And I'm still fighting with the Outlander series might not finish this one as well.
Honestly, I don't think if I were to start a series I wouldn't finishing the series. That's my OCD.

I have all of the Maze Runner books (sequels and prequels,) but for me they are just so hard to push through that idk if I will ever finish them. I also got all the way to the last book in the Matched series and just can’t bring myself to read the last one.
I don’t think I’ll ever finish the Matched series or the Etiquette and Espionage series. Just did not like the first ones well enough to want to put the time in for the rest of them
The Red Queen series. I have zero interest in even attempting the second book

I tried starting with Sword of Shannara and got so bogged down I had to take a break. Starting from the "beginning" (Running with the Demon) has made it easier for me to follow.

Is this possibly a series that was turned into a Netflix tv show called The Shannara Chronicles? I really enjoyed the show and would be interested in picking up the books.
Dalia wrote: "Dorothy Must Die, Shadow and Bone"What was it about the Dorothy Must Die series that made you not want to continue on with it?

It was actually on MTV first. I never watched it, but it is the same series. The show is based on The Wishsong of Shannara and The Elfstones of Shannara which are the second and third books of The Sword of Shannara trilogy. The entire Shannara series has 30 something books, though

I didn't realize there was that many.

So what are series you're not going to finish?
For me it's The Infernal Devices series and The Rose and the Dagger, the 2nd book to the The Wrath and the Dawn duology. I'm debating whether it'll be worth it for me to continue on with the next books, but I'm not sure yet...
