It’s WEDNESDAY. So, I’m kicking around this story idea. I need your help. Tell me…are cliffhangers in books a deal breaker for YOU?
Tell me in the comments.
Yes…
No…
Depends…
Feel free to add an explanation.
ABOUT BLACK DIAMOND
Camille, an undercover agent investigating conflict diamonds, is left with no choice but to trust Marc, a CIA agent. Together, they must find the suspected group before it finds her.

I’ll “see” you in the comments.
It depends. I don’t mind minor cliffhangers, but I usually want the main idea/mystery/theme resolved, OR I want a warning that there is a cliffhanger, so I can decide if I want to read the book or pass on it.
I’m with you. Thank you for sharing your feedback.
I don’t like “cliff-hangers!” I realize that stories continue. If I’ve enjoyed the characters and their evolution in a story, naturally I want to know more. According to me, Cliff-hangers cheat the reader of a conclusion to this episode. That’s not how one treats a friend.
I’ve been a research scientist, a tech-writer, a med-school administrator, an associate-pastor, a wife, mother, domestic abuse victim – among other things. I have loved reading from when my mom read to me when I was to little to read myself! In addition to romantic-suspense, I also enjoy recent and ancient history, medical history, and paranormal adventures. Ray Bradbury, Issac Asimov, and Olivia Butler are all worth revisiting.
What a great way to put it. <3 Thanks for sharing.
I’m afraid it is. I’m not always sure I’ll be able to buy the next book.
Thank you for sharing.
If I know it’s a cliffhanger, I won’t buy it. Heck, I won’t even take it if it’s free. I’m on a fixed income, and can’t be sure if and when I can buy the next book.
That makes a lot of sense. Thank you.
No I hate cliffhangers they suck back most time got wait months or years.
Got it. 🙂 Thank you for your feedback.
It depends, on the cliff hanger and the story,
That makes sense. Thank you for sharing.
No, cliffhangers aren’t a deal breaker unless it takes the author longer than 3-6 months to get the next book with the answer out. Then i might be into dropping said author into an active volcanoe, lol
LOL! Oh no. 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
It depends on whether or not a 2nd book will follow. If not, then it’s a deal breaker.
Okay. Thanks! I appreciate your feedback.
No not a deal breaker if the next part is available in under a month
Okay. I like knowing the window of time too. 😉 Thanks for sharing.
Cliffhangers, YES they are deal breakers for me because I am on a very strict budget!!! I am 70 yrs old and money is tight!!!!! So can’t always get the next one in line (then I have a tendency to forget it, even if I write it down!!!!) 🙁 so no cliffs for me!!!!!
Thank you for sharing.
No more than 3 if it’s a long well written really good read. A real page turner that leaves you wanting more and hating to wait for the next one. I absolutely hate the short stories that drag on only to have buy the next lack luster story. Then when all is said and done it all could’ve been one book anyway. When I have the option for a free book I don’t take the ones that indicate it’s book one. I hope this helps and thank you for asking.
It does help. Thank you.
Cliffhangers are a deal breaker. I hate feeling compelled to buy the next book just to “finish the thought” per se.
I totally get this feeling. Thank you for sharing.
Cliffhangers are not a deal breaker, makes me want to know what happens next.
That’s good to know. 😉 Thanks for commenting.
They are not a deal breaker but can be frustrating. It would not deter me from picking up the next book.
That’s good to know. Thank you!
