Day 1- Challenge

Ok, so for today's challenge I have to answer the question...

 A Book Series You Wish Had Been Longer OR Would Just End Already

So, I can think of so many series that I wish would have gone on longer.  There are so many stories out there that you can just fall in love with.  You feel as though you get to know the characters, they become friends of yours.  Yes, I said it..I feel like I become friends with my fictional characters!  For instance, I wanna know more of what happens to Rose and Dimitri.  Sure Vampire Academy continued on in way of Bloodlines, but that story follows Adrian and Sydney.  Or what about Peeta and Katniss, the end of Mockingjay didn't give us hardly anything on that! However, the more I think about these things, the more I don't want "bad stuff" to continue to happen to these "friends" of mine.  Therefore, I believe the authors leave us with the best possible outcomes for those characters to finally take a rest from whatever it was they were meant to accomplish.

Even though I sort of answered the first question, the real question I'm going to answer is the series you wish would just end.  I would have to say, The House of Night Series by P.C. and Kristin Cast.  
And this isn't even all of them! Revealed came out recently and there was another novella.

The story follows Zoey Redbird as she is chosen by Nyx for the House of Night.  Her battles, her friends, her friends turned enemy, her enemy turned friend.  It's been awhile since I have picked this series back up, but I remember when I first started reading this book!

I was helping a friend of mine house sit, I was in nursing school, keep in mind, I graduated in Dec. 2009, if that tells you anything.......  I found Marked at meijers when we were trying to find something to read.  I just had got done reading the twilight saga and was all in to the whole vampire scene (which I still am).  And I LOVED IT!  The more I delved into Zoey and her friends story the more I liked it..until we got to about the 5/6 book, and then Hidden came and I was over it.  I just feel like the stories are dragged out now.  I want a happy ending, if there is one and I want there to be some sort of closure!  

I love the characters and the whole Twilight meets Harry Potter theme really is a good one, but END IT already! But, if you know me, you know I'll have to find out what happens, so ...I have revealed waiting for me on my kindle and as soon as the 12th and final (FINALLY!) book come out I will read it.  Though, I feel like to remember what in the world happened 11 books ago I'll need to re-read the series.  No..probably not, I'll probably pick right back up and hope I remember! It'll come back to me right??

~*What about you? What series do you wish would have went longer or wished would just end already?*~

    1. I totally get it. I'd probably like it better had I not started reading it YEARS ago..and I read it all at once. Most of the books are so short that they easily could have been combined. But..I'm no author :P
