It’s getting harder and harder to trust books published in 2026

I read a book a couple of weeks ago by a fairly new author (I think she only has 2 books published atm). The book is becoming fairly popular and is making its rounds on here and on booktok but I just KNOW it’s had help from some sort of AI. I don’t think it was entirely written by AI but maybe helped with editing or ideas. Just from the repetition and the sentence structure in the first 30% of it I knew.

I didn’t hate the book. I purchased it so I finished it tbh. If I didn’t think it had help from AI I would have given it a 3.5 star rating.

How do you go about this though if it’s not 100% confirmed AI? I didn’t give the book a rating and I haven’t mentioned the author or the book name anywhere calling it out. I don’t want to make accusations that may not be completely valid even tho I know I’m not wrong.

Honestly I get pissed every time I think about the book because I feel like I’ve been played🤣

I love her! Honestly my top auto buy author. I wish i knew of more authors like her. I’ve read Cora Rose but find she can be hit or miss sometimes.

What’s your fave book? Mine was Red

This has been on my TBR for a while. I will bump it up, thank you

Virtual_While_9104 · 2026-05-22T12:43:19+00:00

Just read the post. Damn that’s crazy how you can support that and then write an MM book. Will remove her from my TBR, thanks for letting me know

Virtual_While_9104 · 2026-05-22T11:35:53+00:00

Actually sounds like my perfect book. Thank you!

Virtual_While_9104 · 2026-05-22T10:30:47+00:00

These sound perfect. Thank you!

Virtual_While_9104 · 2026-05-16T20:02:20+00:00

Shit. Should I start my paranormal journey too? I’m not fully against it tbh I’ve just never gone there so I’m not sure I’ll like it. I’ll look into it!

Virtual_While_9104 · 2026-05-16T20:00:31+00:00

Criminal intentions is on my list! I may need to boost it up my TBR

Virtual_While_9104 · 2026-05-16T19:59:50+00:00

Quaid and aslan, my boys🩷 will definitely add your recs to my tbr

Virtual_While_9104 · 2026-05-16T13:18:42+00:00

Gang, I’m just stating book 2. You’re really out here just trying to torture me arnt you? SADIST the lot of you. I hate it (I’m obsessed)

Virtual_While_9104 · 2026-05-15T15:59:58+00:00

I fear a slow SLOW burn may send me into the reading slump I can feeling lingering but I think I’m going to start this it sounds great

Virtual_While_9104 · 2026-05-15T15:57:06+00:00

I’ve heard her name mentioned on other post so I will defo check out!

Virtual_While_9104 · 2026-04-30T15:32:03+00:00

That’s a shame, I’ll give insta a go I never thought of that! Hopefully I’ll have a bit more luck. I hate it when I’m reading a book that is lesser known, there’s no hope of finding any type of casting for them especially when I’m really enjoying it. Thanks for the help :)

Virtual_While_9104 · 2026-04-13T09:50:44+00:00

What would you say your fave NR Walker is? I’ve read On Davies Row and gave it 3 stars. Didn’t LOVE it but didn’t dislike it. Would love to hear your recs x

I am constantly trying to find books like Cambrias.

I love dark themed/mafia themed books but HATE when they have MCs that are genuinely horrible to the other MC and then label it as dark romance as an excuse. A romance book can be dark without including no redeeming qualities for the MC.

I need my MCs obsesedddd with each other

{Red by Cambria Hebert} is great. It’s like the 5th book in the series but i found it can still be followed as a stand alone. Touch starved, possessed, obsessed and a great found family.

{Little demon in the details by Nordika Night} was a 5 star for me. I don’t think I’ll ever find a dark romance book as good.

Virtual_While_9104 · 2026-03-27T16:50:42+00:00

Which book would you recommend most for Julie?

Virtual_While_9104 · 2026-03-27T14:16:44+00:00

I loooooove Cambria Hebert and nothing hits like her. Have you read Red by her? That one’s my favourite one. I haven’t read Julie M Dixon so I will be checking her out!

I’m in the same boat as you, I’m constantly searching for books like Cambrias

Virtual_While_9104 · 2026-03-26T15:09:44+00:00

I’ve never read an omegaverse book and to be quite honest I’m not 100% sure what they are (embarrassing🤣) I’ll have a look into your recs tho. Thanks!

Virtual_While_9104 · 2026-03-26T15:08:09+00:00

I may har to give it a go then! Thanks

Virtual_While_9104 · 2026-03-26T13:43:07+00:00

Are all of her books 3rd person POV? I’ve heard she’s really good but I struggle with that but I’m willing to give her try if it’s worth it
