What's the last book you read that was so bad that it made you angry?

I read The Rebel and the Final Blood War by K.A. Linde and I just hated everything about it! I don't know if the other two books in the series were this atrociously written and I somehow overlooked it, or if this was ghostwritten by a middle schooler. The author has no concept of sentence structure, and every other sentence is a partial/incomplete thing like "A woman who had delivered a death sentence with a candy bar."

This is an actual paragraph in the book:

"Reyna's eyes darted to her friends. Meghan and Jodie gave her an encouraging nod. Gabe winked. Tye smiled. They were all counting on her."

The ending was rushed and unsatisfying too. Spoiler: >!the villain of this whole trilogy gets de-vamped (turned back into a human) and just decides to stab himself to death immediately.!< This deus ex machina occurs on page 307 of the 320-page book.

What have you read recently that made you genuinely angry like this?
