Sure, one of those factors is easy enough to find, but the combination is rare enough to give one pause.ĭo you like books that end at least 15 chapters with a "something bad was on it's way," or "I could feel the danger drawing near," or "Oh my God, things are about to get terrifying!" sort of sentence?
