This week's topic is: FREEBIE: Most Scream-worthy Cliffhangers!
*in no particular order
**wherein you will need the next book in the series asap and for most of these I HAD TO WAIT!!!!
10. REIGN OF SHADOWS by Sophie Jordan--this was one of the few where I was lucky to have the next book at the ready! Bc OMG that was dreadful!
9. DREAMFEVER by Karen Marie Moning--oh the screams! The terrible screams! Mine and Mac's!!
8. SOLDIER by Julie Kagawa--another rare, rare instance where I had the next book at the ready...thankfully!! Julie holds nothing back with gut wrenching cliffhangers!
7. THE TROUBLE WITH TWELFTH GRAVE by Darynda Jones--omg omg omg omg!!! I NEED 13th GRAVE NOW!!! But aahhh!!! Did you see it was pushed BACK to 2019?! Amazon and Goodreads have conflicting dates, a January and February one so I am left in a state of horror at not knowing how long I will have to wait!
6. SHADOW KISS by Richelle Mead--one of the worst cliffhangers EVER!! Dreadful! What's worse...the graphic novel series ENDS WITH THIS!!!
5. TWISTED by Gena Showalter--you're probably tired of hearing about this one from me by now! Lol! I apparently hold "grudges" with cancelled series that are likely to never ever ever have a conclusion! Even Gena's description of how book 4 would've gone down still left out CRITICAL information!
4. OPAL by Jennifer L. Armentrout--OMG!!!! I had binge read these first three together and this ending killed me!
3. WICKED: SPELLBOUND by Nancy Holder & Debbie Viguie--aka Wicked (compilation Volume 2). I first read this series when the books were individual and this ending killed me! And I went on to learn that the series was cancelled!!! I had to wait 6 years for the finale to come about as the series was eventually revived due to better sales!
2. DEAD OF WINTER by Kresley Cole--OMG THIS ENDING!!! And then to have the series in a state of hiatus for awhile as there was a change in publishers...this yet again, killed me!
1. CRYSTAL STORM by Morgan Rhodes--although, to be fair, books 1-4 had pretty screamworthy cliffhangers too. But I think this one, this one was the most scream worthy!! I've only just gotten my voice back earlier this year when I got the final book in my hands! Lol!! But even then, it still took several chapters and pages until my heart would beat at a normal rate...even by looking at the cover! ;)
OMG. I definitely posted the wrong week's topic, for TTT. Luckily it kinda works because this week was a freebie. 😂😂😂😂 I remember the cliffhanger for Opal being painful!
ReplyDeleteGreat post, Jessica! Have a wonderful day. =)
Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
Your topic cracked me up! Yep, scream-worthy is a good way to describe the feeling when a book ends and you are just so invested you can't imagine it doesn't continue, like right the next instant. I just finished A Penny Lost by Aspen Basset and had the same reaction.
ReplyDeleteGreat choice for top ten. I have read a few but don’t remember the cliffhangers. I know I binged in the lux series and read them all in a row.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post! I loved Reign of Shadows :D Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteBrittany @ Brittany's Book Rambles
I hate cliffhangers!! I haven't read most of these, but Crystal Storm is the main reason I waited to continue the series!
ReplyDeleteOne of these days I will continue Rhodes' series!
ReplyDeleteFor your teaser:

And for your TTT - I love a good cliffhanger but ONLY if I have the next book ready to go. When I read Tad Williams' Otherland series, those books just STOPPED and I had to wait about 18 months between novels. UGH.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thanks!
Often cliffhangers drive me crazy. I don't mind it when the book wraps up but then there is a small plot point which carries over but big ones I could live without!
ReplyDeleteNice quote! And cliffhangers- ergh I love em/ hate em!
ReplyDeleteDreamfever!! I still remember that time....I love/hate cliffhangers.
ReplyDeleteHere is My Top 10 Tuesday
I hate cliff hangers, which is probably why I have been hesitant to start any new series, but I agree, the Talon books all ended with some devastating situation.
ReplyDeleteMany of these are later books in series I haven't not caught up with yet, so thanks for the warning that some cliffhangers are coming!
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
Oooh, cliffhangers! Hate them and then in the next breath I love them! Great idea for a TTT!
ReplyDeleteNice freebie topic for this week's TTT post!! Well done!
ReplyDeleteDreamfever, Opal and Crystal storm by far! Especially in Dreamfever.
ReplyDeleteI see several books I totally agree where scream worthy cliffhangers and some that are on my TBR
ReplyDeleteOh yes that ending to Opal KILLED ME! It was such a good cliffhanger but gah that wait was hard.
