Humans have canines too. Dogs and vampires just have elongated canines, which is why we call them fangs.

I have seen some vampire movies where the vamps used their elongated incisors, but typically the canines/fangs are the biting teeth.

True Blood vamps use their incisors for example.

On topic: I didn't throw it, since I had it on my ereader, but Magic Bleeds came close. Here is why: (view spoiler)

Alisa I've never actually thrown a book but boy have I wanted to throw a few (never going to actually throw since I usually read on my kindle). The two that I really, really wanted to throw that come to mind were
Beautiful Disaster (Beautiful, #1) by Jamie McGuire . I was mad because all the hype made me expect it to be great. I couldn't stand the whiney heroine. I thought she treated Travis like crap. I loved him at the begining of the book but felt like she totally emasculated him by the end of the book. The other was Undeniable (Undeniable, #1) by Madeline Sheehan Again a lot of hype & 5 star reviews. I thought this was one the worst books I've ever read. It was all I could due to finish it. I kept reading thinking "something major is going to change. People love this book. Something has to change". Nope, no change. The girl meets her later love interest when she is 5 years old & he's 23. Ummm...yeah. 5 & 23. Why I didn't stop there I don't know. It was just full of violence, disrespect to women & children, cheating on spouses, rape scenes, crime. I was equally mad at the author for writing this book & myself for reading it.

Cynthia Luhrs (cynthialuhrsauthor) I threw one of the outlander books across the room because I hated how she ended it but overall I love the series. I threw the last 2 sookie books and I threw the last couple Steph Plum books - well I threw the first but the others were on my kindle so I threw them in my head...not as satisfying to push delete

I can't read sookie books at all because she kills my romantic heart....sookie is just does not seem to have my favorite 'forever and ever happily in love thingy'


message 206: by [deleted user] (new)

Oh..oh...I truly hated the end of 'nocturne'...it started as a great paranormal story but the end made me feel very angry and I could not toss the darn book 'cos it was a library book.....

Angie Elle (angieelle) | 63 comments Gabriel's Inferno (Gabriel's Inferno, #1) by Sylvain Reynard I couldn't throw it, because it was on my Kindle. But I hated this book. I would probably put it in my top five worst books of all time.


message 208: by Cynthia (new)

Cynthia Luhrs (cynthialuhrsauthor) Lily & Angie - I agree. On Sookie are you going to read the last one? I'm thinking I will, one last shot at redemption BUT its one I will get used or from the library. No temptation to throw my kindle!

Angie Elle (angieelle) | 63 comments I haven't read Gabriel's Rapture. I'm just not sure I could stomach it. Maybe one day, but GI is just too fresh right now. LOL

You're welcome! :)


message 212: by [deleted user] (new)

I admit, i am prejudiced but the name sookie is also off putting for me ...like sookie ( tghis is a puppet's name in a tv children's programme in uk, by the way) is never going to mature.....


message 213: by Cynthia (new)

Cynthia Luhrs (cynthialuhrsauthor) and I always think of that reality TV girl... I guess I've read them all, I figure well, might's well read the last one. I may be screaming how silly I was to you all :)

I didn't throw it but I wanted too because if I had to read about Julia crying one more time. I would have lost it. I get it she had a rough childhood. Still doesn't mean she needs to cry because someone said boo!


message 216: by Taria (new)

Taria Reed (tariar) I listen to audio books so it would be VERY expensive for me to toss books around, but I do give them a mental and or verbal beat down.

Raziel (The Fallen, #1) by Kristina Douglas Demon (The Fallen, #2) by Kristina Douglas Seduce Me in Dreams (A Three Worlds Novel, #1) by Jacquelyn Frank Born to Darkness (Immortal Destiny, #1) by Lorraine Kennedy


message 217: by Kryptonite (new)

Kryptonite (sg34) | 406 comments Really tried but couldn't finish these books and have no intention of picking it back up:
Touch the Dark (Cassandra Palmer, #1) by Karen Chance Jacob (Nightwalkers, #1) by Jacquelyn Frank
This one I just stopped after the first couple of chapters: Ascension (Guardians of Ascension, #1) by Caris Roane

hahahaha that's funny! Dealing with someone that cries that much would make anyone depressed.

I really wanted to like this; the beginning had me with butterflies in my tummy. It was so smart and literate As the book progressed, Julia was beyond whiny and Gabriel got bossy in a non-hot, pedantic way. I threw this baby across the street, not across the room.

I agree I had such high hopes. I felt her anxiety about being near Gabriel and her pain over him not remembering her. Then she just wouldn't stop whining and crying and it kept getting more and more annoying.

Here's the other thing that irritated the living crap out of me was the seen after Gabriel realize that she was his 'Beatrice' and she goes all badass on him in the middle of the class room. It was so stupid, I don't care how mad she was it did not fit with who she was before or after that.

I included that in my review, Teresa. I actually liked the book right up until that part. It was so out of character that it pulled me right from the story, and I was never drawn back in.


message 227: by Juli (new)

Juli | 10 comments Right, she was way not that girl! ...And he's way too worried about how things look than about his Beatrice type of love. No Alpha worth his title would care about some committee!


message 228: by Teresa (new)

Teresa (teresatheduchessofread) | 91 comments Damn right sister! I'm glad I found other's who feel that same as me about this book.


message 229: by Ame (new)

Ame | 14 comments The last book that made me want to throw my Kindle repeatedly against the wall wasn't any PRN but This Man series..... Jesse Ward just makes me crazy.... and not in a good way.

I felt the same. That book was like a train wreck for me I just couldn't put it down even though I hated Jesse soooo much I was certain he would be like the only person in the world who would incite me to violence.


message 231: by Lauren (new)

Lauren (laurenjberman) One book that I almost threw against the wall (but refrained because it was on my iPod) was Some Girls Bite (Chicagoland Vampires, #1) by Chloe Neill - the (view spoiler) had me almost giving up on the series in the first book. Glad I stuck with it though.

Isn't that Sooty, not Sookie??


message 233: by Gemma (new)

Gemma (bookmoodreviews) | 241 comments Two books I was ready to throw across the room were

Corralled and Lover At Last

Corralled because I was getting so fed up with each of the guys going more and more outlandish in the bedroom department to win over the "heroine" in the book.

Lover At Last because I was gettin so frustrated with the ammount of subplots getting chucked in there and not enough time was being spent to develope the relationship between Qhuinn and Blay


message 234: by Scarlet (new)

Scarlet (extraordinarygirl86) | 6 comments I've never literally thrown a book across the room, but there's definitely been a couple times where I've had the urge to do so out of frustration.

Original Sin (Personal Demons, #2) by Lisa Desrochers because I couldn't stand the heroine. Marked (House of Night, #1) by P.C. Cast because the dialogue was horrendous. And Last Sacrifice (Vampire Academy, #6) by Richelle Mead because it was an enormously disappointing ending to my favorite YA series.
