not just rage, but RAGE.

“It’s the truth.” I smile. “Besides, my strength came from you.”

A woman's strength coming from a man. Allow me to not be amused or impressed.

rage.

It’s the home to the students who are mostly Dark Wizards…the evil and cunning ones. Voldemort as well as many of his Death Eaters are from this house.

Oh, please.

Hero and heroines reasoning: this delusional, unstable addict (Sebastian) has a gun, and he has already threatened me (heroine) and we don't know what he might do, but let's not tell the police because perhaps our names would end up in the papers and that would be irritating.

Did I mention these two are complete idiots that probably deserve each other?

You can’t imagine how boring it gets when girls will do or say whatever they think you want to hear. You’re not like that…you’re sweet and caring. And what makes you even more alluring is that you’re so innocent, but at the same time so incredibly strong.

WHY AM I STILL READING NEW ADULT WHEN IT KEEPS MASS PRODUCING SEXIST HEROES?

She’s someone who sets her sights on something or someone…and she will do whatever it takes to get it. Pure and simple…she’s evil. She only cares about herself. She has no morals. She doesn’t give a damn that you and Logan are together.



Imagine how different the conversation had been had "she" been a "he".

Ah, the old "women can immediately spot another woman who recently lost her virginity" trope.

"And, when it comes to you…you were like this perfect angel that came into my life…beautiful, smart, sweet, funny…I just didn’t think you’d want to be with someone with so many demons.”


This is the problem with NA heroes_ They are not people, they are fantasies. A fantasy saying the right thing even when it doesn't match their supposed personality.

Suddenly the narration changed. Now the heroine is basically talking/explaining herself to the reader. Poor, poor writing.
