The Delicious Evil Of The Cliffhanger Ending

HuffPost Books 


If there's anything I love to hate more, it's a cliffhanger. I will spend an entire novel hoping for one, while praying to the book gods that I'm wrong. I'm invested emotionally, allowing the author to string me along, hoping the characters pull through unscathed. But I'm also twirling my villain mustache; crossing my fingers the author has planned something totally naughty. Make no mistake about it. I want all the bad to happen. In spades. Is there a better time to experience something as wicked as this? Other than when you're out being an actual, honest-to-god evil person, that is. Probably not.
