I’ve been on a huge romance kick lately. Usually when I’m writing a certain genre, I like to read similar books. It tends to keep me focused on my writing.

My book selection this week is Kiera Cass’s The Selection. This romance tends to also fall into a dystopian type of genre which I hope to soon write.

And for some reason, I keep getting these reading app ads on my Facebook with snippets from the werewolf romance genre. I think it is because I watched through one of the ads for the Reel Short episodes for “Fated to my Forbidden Alpha,” and now that’s all that seems to pop up.

There is an upside and a downside to this. The upside is that I’ve run across some really good writing. The downside is that I’ve run across some horrible writing. Misspellings, poorly phrased sentences, and some of it looks like it was written by a child. No description. No imagery. Lots of missing words.

What I want to know is do they sell any of that trash?
