I share this sentiment and had a narrow escape yesterday. I came across an interesting Regency mystery-romance series (more mystery than romance since the couple marry in book 1), but was surprised that there were close to 20 books in the series, and the fist one was around 140 pages. Checking the reviews, I was blessed that for once a review at Kobo was useful, a reader commented on how book 1 just ends abruptly, right in the middle of some pivotal action AND the reviewer helpfully added that book 3 does similar. That explained the number of books and their short length, and ensured the series got a hard pass from me
