Feature and Follow #2

Weekly Meme hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read.

This is a weekly meme where we answer questions and blog hop to find new blogs to follow. You follow me I will follow you back. 

Q: Have you had a character that disappointed you? One that you fell in love with and then “broke up” with later on in either the series or a stand-alone book? Tell us about him or her.

Well off the top of my head I can think of two.

The first one is Bill from The Sookie Stackhouse novels. Bill started off as what seemed a reasonable lover and through the first few books in the series seemed like a reasonable man. I started to fall for him. Then of course, all of his secrets started to become unveiled - also Sookie started to see the better side in Eric and he is just yummier - and I fell out of favour with Bill. I may have been able to become indifferent to him however he wouldn't let Sookie go (and neither would she). Normally I would find this rather sweet, only this time I thought he was a jerk and annoying. It has gotten to that part now (Bill/Eric/Sookie love triangle) in the TV adaptation, True Blood; and I still think he is a jerk and annoying.

The second character has to be Jacob from the Twilight series. In the beginning he is the lovable friend who was their for Bella. In second novel, he became a bit more than that helping her through and I started to see him as competition for Bella's affection. However in the third one he became a bit possessive (in hindsight, Edward did too) and non accepting of her feelings. Do not even get me started on Breaking Dawn *eurgh*. (I have fallen out of favour with Edward too but that wasn't while I was reading the books, only years later after I discovered some better book boyfriends.)

What characters have you fallen out with?
