Need Advice

So, minor dilemma here.

One of the book emails I get has titles for Read and Review, where you get the free copy in exchange for an honest review.

However, what if my reaction to reading the book is WTF is this?

I'm wondering if I should write the review it deserves, or send it back to the author and tell her I can't review it in good conscience.  (Either way, I'll still review it here for your enjoyment and warning.)

Thoughts?

If it's already published, I'd be honest.

Agreed. Do it for the readers. Plus your reviews on the site have more credibility if you pan some stuff.

I did the review, but refrained from my general level of snark.
