I despise any book that starts with the ending and then flips back and forth from present to past throughout.  Such a frustrating and irritating way to write.  I read another of this author's book and it was the same way.  Hopefully, I will pay attention and not read anything else of this author.

Hated the ending. I never liked or related to the main character.

This is worst of them all.  The ending makes you want that hour and a half of your life back.

Like alot of other reviews, I hated the ending. I know not all stories need to have a happy ending, but they should at least have some sort of fullfilling ending! It seriously left me hanging and not at all satisfied. I mean after all that hard work that Nick does to finally end his life with Amy, he just gives in and takes the "easy" route which in turn is really not an easy out. He ends up living a miserable lie of  a life with that psychopath Amy. The readers do not get any satisfaction from reading that horrible conclusion. All that build up for nothing

I am one of those readers who starts and book and finishes it no matter what I think of it. I don't think I've ever said this-and I read a LOT-I actively disliked this book. Lord knows I tried. Yes, there are interesting historical bits about London, Collins, Dickens, and lots of tidbits of an interesting time in literature. That being said, I don't remember the last time I've so disliked characters. If the authors point was to show how despicable these two icons of British literature were then he's done a magnificent job. By the end of the book I would have gladly shot Wilke Collins-in fact, the author seems to press the point that he WANTS us to hate this narcissistic, hateful, deceitful lout. How on earth did this get published?

Not an enjoyable read. I would not only not recommend it-I would actively dissuade people from bothering with it at all.

This book is nothing but a set up for book 2, which I have read and so can tell you that book 2 FAILS TO RESOLVE ANYTHING.

I hate books that are nothing but set ups for the next book.  The author might as well as open with "I'm not going to tell you an incomplete story because I want to screw you out of another $10".  Plus book 2 also has the stupidest scene I have every encountered in any medium- seriously.  (The bad guy who remains hidden through out book 1 and the beginning of book 2 flies down out of the sky and announces who she is, what her power is AND WHAT HER WEAKNESS IS- FOR NO REASON!)

I'm partly disgusted by these books because they had such a great concept for the MC's power but they are terribly written.  I wish I hadn't wasted my time.

I don't like to put details in a review as I don't like them giving away the story. Could have been a good book just hated the ending.

I have never in my life been so infuriated at a book as this one.  I hate it when I watch a show on TV and find out that it's only part 1 and that I have to wait until the next week to find out how it ends.  But doing it to a book is much, much worse!  The ending of the story isn't even going to come out until August.  Does the author really think I'm so intrigued with this storyline that I'm actually going to remember or care a year from now that I don't know who the serial killer in this book was???  No, what I'm going to remember is that Lisa Jackson wrote a half-book, and that I should be careful the next time I pick up one of her books.  If it doesn't say, "The whole story is enclosed in the pages of this book," I won't be reading it.

I was offended by the two-dimensional charactures of the female leads showed using weak, whining women willing to completely revoke their own needs and desires for a man.  I hated this ending so much I immediately deleted it off of my Kindle so I would no longer have to look at the cover art and be reminded of it.

I really enjoyed the first part of this book. It was different than the rest of the series, in that I didn't feel like it was a constant recap of what had happened in previous books. BUT... the end was perhaps one of the worst endings ever. I felt like the author was given a certain number of pages and then realized, "Oh, crap, I'm almost out of my alotted pages so I better wrap things up!" I felt the same way about the Da Vinci Code. I threw both books across the room when I was done reading them because I was so disappointed with how they ended. Ugh. I'm glad the series is done.

I hate this book so much that i wanted to go in the book and kill the so called hero and heroin.what made me mad was the hero and heroin treatment toward the hero second wife. I felt so sad for her that I wanted to cry. I do not blamed the second wife for ploting against the hero and the heroin. In fact I wanted to go in the story and help her to kill the hero.he treated her really bad.all she wanted to do was make sure of her son future because both the hero nor the heroin care for the boy . I was so happy  with the ending that I did not know what to say.this so called heroin was not a heroin but a witch she just walk around telling the other women that oh the hero love me and my son is going to rule. I mean what kind of women would be ok with her son killing his step brother.so the only one anybody should fell sad for is the second wife. I fell like the author did not like her at all .first she made sure the second wife did not receive any love at all from her husband and her family.then in the end she made her to not look good to the readers while she make the heroin look like a goddess even though she was older then the hero second wife for like 15 years.so yes  I felt bad for the second wife .I felt so bad for her that I wanted her to be the  heroin of the story.just put yourselves in her position and imagine that you are about to lose  your virginity and the man is calling out  the heroin name instead of your .so yes I am in support of the second wife and if I could I would have kill the heroin and put the hero second wife as the heroin and made them fell in love.that how the story should have end. Sorry but this author could not make me care for either the hero nor the heroin.

I really, really don't mind when a book leaves a few loose ends to entice you to get the next book in the series; but I hate it totally when a book comes to an abrupt end with no conclusion to anything............it is almost like the author didn't know what these girls were going to do either so they just head off in a buggy..............really?  Nothing was answered.  Nothing.  Too bad, because it was a well-written book that I enjoyed reading until it just quit.  So I give it five stars for being a good book and one star because of the ending----which was really a "quit writing" not an ending.  Too bad.  Guess I'll never know what happened, because I won't buy never-ending books.

Holy cow I hate this book.  I DEVOURED it.  I have two year old twins and a full time job and stayed up late to read it.  It was so captivating and I couldn't put it down.

But then...the ending.  It's terrible.  So terrible.  It made me so angry I had wasted so much time reading this.  That is literally time I can't get back.  Please, don't do this to yourself.

I hated the first 3/4 of this book, the ending saves it.  It is everything I hate about he soccer mom existence/life style:  fake, back biting, and full of drama.  If I hadn't heard such high praise for Liane Moriarty, I would have abandoned this book.  I am still going to try more of her work because maybe I didn't hate the book, it was just the characters I hated.  In which case, would mean high praise for Moriarty, because I really loathed them.  All of them.

I hated the ending so much that it literally killed the whole book for me. I did like the middle of the book, and the story was interesting up to a point. The premise was also very good and there were lots of twists and shockers. However, I hated both main characters with a passion because they were both horrible people and so superficial. I guess the author did a good job there because I despised both main characters. I also kind of hated the secondary characters too. I feel like every story needs a good guy/hero/heroine - This book doesn't have one. I guess Nick was maybe more "human" or slightly more "sane" than Amy, but these people take the cake in the "loser department". The ending left me with my eyes rolling and I almost made the "L" sign for "Losers" at my IPad. Booooo hissssssss.

I have never read a book with a worse ending. After everything the characters go through (not to mention the reader) for it to end on a total cliffhanger with no resolution in sight was awful. I would have given it 5 stars with a better ending. Also this came out in 2014, then a second book about two different characters came out in 2016, and it is now 2018 with no update on the supposed third book that will bring the resolution to this first one. A total waste of time, not to mention incredibly rude for the author to just ghost everyone and provide no updates as to what's taking so long.

A wholly unsatisfying ending to what began as an exciting and interesting concept. Though, by this stage, I was sick of EVERY character Garth created as having some kind of sick and bizarre sexually related addiction/quirk/hangup/disease/history, I was still interested in the conclusion to the Genesis saga. *SPOILERS* Well I shouldn't have bothered. There is no resolution. It ends of course: some people die, some end up together, some get a new start. But it all feels totally unearned and flat.

*Herr Starr is finally killed, but after being one of the most unlikable twits I have ever read he hardly gets his comeuppance.

*Featherstone, one of the few likeable characters here gets no redemption and is treated with as much respect by Ennis as she is by Starr.

*Cassidy after proving to be a narcissistic c*** to match Starr is redeemed because he writes an apology letter to Jesse AND Tulip. Aww! That sure makes up for the 6 months of sex slavery he put Tulip through and the many lives he ruined/ended in the past! Those letters sure prove he has turned over a new leaf, and *SPOILERS* he sure deserves his new human form - I bet he'll be okay the ol' scallywag.

*Jesse and Tulip pull a 'Ross and Rachel', and I cared even less.

*Saint of Killers kills all the Angels and God. Just like that. I think it was given a total of like 5 pages (that is TOTAL not sequential).

I don't know the implications of God's death. I'd like to, that was why I was reading. As I said, I wanted to see the conclusion to the Genesis saga. But apparently I was an idiot to be reading for that reason, as Ennis, via Cassidy's letter to Jesse tells me "maybe the big job you took on wasn't really about God and everything... it was more about saving me". Oh Ennis! You got me. But if this really WAS about saving that c***Cassidy, maybe there should have been more to his redemption than writing just two letters?

I hated this book. Thanks for nothing Ennis.
