Fans of Interracial Romance discussion

In my 30+ years of reading books, I have never read a book where the hero or heroine was killed off until recently. My latest read was and my first read by Harlan Coben. It’s a mystery book, not romance book, but the hero did like the heroine. Myron Bolitar (White man/Jewish) and Brenda Slaughter (Biracial/ half black, half white).

I had written a long spoiler review.

Brenda Slaughter gets killed. I had a feeling half way through the book that she would, but was hoping she didn’t.

I have to say this bothered me. A heroine getting killed. I never ever again want to read a book where the hero or heroine gets killed, most like it the hero will never get killed.

I know in tv shows when an actor or actress don’t want to return, they are asked to be killed off or if the power that be doesn’t want a character anymore they tend to kill them off. This should not happen in a book! This would definitely stop me from wanting to read an author’s other books.

Part of the list by Xavier Neil. Heart wrenching but so good.

Who was killed off: The hero or heroine?

The hero

That sucks.

It was a great book and if it were not so emotional I would read it again. It’s one of those stories where you think the characters are real and wonder how they are doing now.

When characters can make me think what they are doing after the book has ended are good characters to me.
