Hush Money

Any enjoyment of the book went out the window the second a character decided to stand by and watch another girl be sexually assaulted (another character steps in before it passes groping) while commenting on how she wasn't trying to save herself/wasn't fighting hard enough so why should she step in to help her. For example
"so some gross guy was pawing her? She'd live right?"


It's a shame because the story had been fairly interesting up until that point but afterwards I just couldn't connect with the characters anymore.

Ritual Income by B.L. Brown

Did not finish book. Stopped at 5%.
The story does seem interesting but there was just too many mixes of foreign languages alongside words created for this book that it was hard for me to be able to follow along. 

I was already struggling at 5% so decided not to force myself :( Book itself seems decently wrote but just not for me.
