I like the idea that the protagonist might turn out to be the villain, that the narrator might be unreliable, that the good guys might not carry the day. Sometimes I don't want comfort; I want to feel unsettled and to be surprised.

I am definitely a creature of habit and a comfort-seeker - probably why I like series
