I applaud her for her success, especially considering the quality of her book! She wrote a fan fiction of twilight, simply changing vampire into sadistic human and dragged what could have been 50 pages of the actual story into 3 book series! She basically just transcribed a porno film for the filler.

The 50 books are a marketing phenomenon. They are poorly written and cringe-worthy, and yet... Her husband was some sort of media big shot, so with that kind of muscle, the titles were shoved into the public eye. They're touted as being racy, but they are just boring. And the movie? Could they have cast anyone less attractive? Ugh.

Her writing is not the best but I definitely congratulate her on her success. I doubt I would read anything else from her just because I don't like her writing very much but to those who like her, good on you.
