Finale (Hush, Hush, #4)

Seriously, Fitzpatrick?! Seriously?!
I just.....I just can't understand! First Adornetto, then Kate, and now you not only once with your freaking graphic novel, but twice?!
See, you're even making Dean (my dearest Mocha's husband) cry. This madness has to end!
All of the authors I've mentioned so far are not doing this to advance the story, in any way, shape, or form. Hell, all of these series could have been done in half the amount that there are currently; all of these authors are doing it for one reason only: the money. I understand that the life of an author is a hard one, but whatever happened to the damn story?!It just sad. Writing books should never be about just the money; it should be about making an impact on society, actually furthering your story arc, something, anything but swindling people out of their hard-earned cash on a book that really should never have been published. But that's the world we live in today, isn't it? Authors that actually have good, original, stories and put their heart and soul into their writing are turned down just because of today's pop culture; those millions of little idiotic girls screaming for the next Edward and Bella. I don't think I've ever been more unhappy to see a book published than Twilight; honestly, it changed the whole dynamic for YA and that's basically all we've gotten since then. Shit-tons of TSTL girls, overly protective-and in some ways downright abusive- guys, with plots as slow as molasses, horrible research skills, and characters/ story arcs that authors just add in or throw out for the hell of it.
I'm sick. Sick and tired of it. This is what I feel like doing to all of those authors right about now:
Oh, and some of this:
Edit:
So.....she's calling this book a saga?! Sigh.....I don't even have the energy to be mad about that, after my brutal smack-down, so, please, let me direct you all to my dearest friend Anila's review that describes my pain over all of this perfectly.

I love the crying dude. And everything you say is SO TRUE. SO. TRUE.

Bhahahahah I know, right!! It's such a total own I had to post it!
Mocha � wrote: "She made my husband cry! T_T"I know, Mochas! It's a travesty of epic proportions!
I know! It's not necessary at all! grahhh!
Truly...it wasn't. After reading Silence I finally know why there's going to be a fourth..
(view spoiler)
(view spoiler)
I want to do myself a favour so I don't need to bother reading silence and just click "view spoiler" but I can't. I just can't. It makes me sad that not only will I read Silence but that i will also read this fourth one for no feasible reason aside from curiosity and a need to finish what I've started. :(

Holy fuck. I can't..............I can't............. *falls onto the floor with you and begins to seizure* What the everloving fuck is her problem?!?! (view spoiler) Seriously?!!?!?! That was never needed for this story or plot and just reinforces my belief that she's just doing this for the money and not for any kind of real book development. I hat her almost as much as Adornetto right about now.

Hell yes!
And I'm going to say this again, because I did say it after I read Crescendo, Hush,Hush should have been a standalone novel. It ended on a decent note and should have been left as such.

The world needs to read this review!
In that gif before the last, why does the guy take off his shirt first?
And I agree with you.
And I agree with you.

Well, dearest Alkyoni, I honestly don't know. He was just so angry that he ripped it off, maybe?
Christian wrote: "The world needs to read this review!"
Hahah well thanks, Christian! Glad you liked it so much!
Of course I agree with you. I haven't even read the second installment.
Usually, authors just write about what the readers want to read because otherwise, nobody would bother to read their book.
Pamela Gabrielle wrote: "Usually, authors just write about what the readers want to read because otherwise, nobody would bother to read their book."I understand that, but there's only so far I'm willing to go on the "popularity train" before I just need to jump off before it careens off a cliff. And this series, for me, is at that point.
HA! Cait I'm starting book 2! I'm ready to suffer!
Oh dear lordy, Alkyoni, I pray for your poor braincells that will surely suffer from reading.... that. *shudders to even think about it*
Thank you. I'll need funny gifs along the way. Will you help?
Alkyoni ~ Kingfisher of books wrote: "Thank you. I'll need funny gifs along the way. Will you help?"Hahahah of course I'll help you out, Alkyoni!
Thank you. may the force be with you. And me. And anyone who reads this shit.
Mello wrote: "That gif of the guy in the classroom makes me crack up every time!"I watched it for like a minute straight just now. Cackling like a hyena the whole time!

I love this. Everthing about it is an epic win. My hat is off to you.

You're welcome, Ally! :D
Cillian wrote: "Seth wrote: "I love this. Everthing about it is an epic win. My hat is off to you."Bye bye hat. Cait has a tendency to make things disappear..."
Pftt. I do not lose anything, especially my hats.
Except that my cellphone is missing.....
and my backpack........
and two of my berets......
and my cellphone charger......
and some of my books.....
and headphones.....
But that's besides the point!
I don't lose stuff!
That's such a hurtful thing to say! *runs off crying*
It's not my fault that my stuff tends to mysteriously go missing!
*gasp* I do not steal people's stuff!
You're lying! My house is perfectly neat and tidy, with nobody else's stolen things!
*shoves a box full of kazoos under my bed*
Hmph. There is nothing under my bed!!

Hahaah really? I love that show!
if you hate it so much, why are you going to read it? (Just saying...)
Gina wrote: "if you hate it so much, why are you going to read it? (Just saying...)"So we can find out what happens and make fun of it after.
Gina wrote: "if you hate it so much, why are you going to read it? (Just saying...)"What Katlyn said; I read some books just to be able to review it afterwards, and I can't just stop reading now I'm already three books in. That would be even sillier than continuing to read it.
What Katlyn said; I read some books just to be able to review it afterwards, and I can't just stop reading now..."Curiosity killed the cat. Or in this case destroied the cat...
Did it ever occur to you that the reason why she's coming out with more books and graphic novels is because this is her JOB and she needs to make money. You know... so she can live.
