Hehe
Posted by Shannon C. on April 10th, 2006 filed in rantsDear published romance author who shall remain nameless:
You’re doing a bad job when the incest subtext is so thick you could cut it with a knife, and incest is not the main focus of your novel. Yes, we’re aware that you and your Mary Sue’s eleventy-two billion brothers love her, but must you have the brothers remark with creepy intensity on their sister’s radiant beauty? Whilst standing in her bedroom watching her sleep?
Sincerely,
A former fan of your work who had to put your book down after she couldn’t make it through chapter 1 because of the creepy incest.
P.S. The book was Jude Deveraux’s Eternity just in case you were looking for something new to read and are in any way influenced by my non-recommendations.
