NO. Just NO. I dislike Amelia Atwater-Rhodes severaly, because the first book that she published was NOT worth being published. I'm glad that she was able to make herself a successful writer, but I INTENSELY dislike her work. Her first book, for example, was horrible. I hated that every non-flashback chapter ended with a sentence vaguely resembling, 'and then I remembered', 'and then I dreamed', 'I remembered, then....', 'A memory surfaced'. It was extremely repetative, and her stories lacked any interesting plot. Her characters felt very two dimensional, and the whole thing just came off as shoddy to me. Her recent work has improved, but I still find no like for any of her stories, and probably never will.
