Ohh it's one of my pet hates. I always check what's at the top of the last chapter now. If it says 2 or 3 I know not to be so surprised.
A much better idea in one of the Lee Child books was to add on a short story about the main character. The story was later included in a collection of shorts, but it was much nicer to have a conclusion in the "continued reading" so I didn't mind.
The "start of the new" must work or I'm sure the publishers wouldn't spend so much on the extra pages.
Very unfair though and, if you do give in and read it, takes some of the pleasure from reading the next book when you do buy it.
I want new from start to finish .
