Paranormal book Review: What's Your Demon?

This is an example of how the review will go. Make sure to pay attention.~ XOXO ButterBall

_________________________________________________________________________________


Title: What's Your Demon?

First thought on title: Shouldn't it be what's your vice or guilty pleasure? But hey, if you say it's What's Your demon I expect to see some demons acting like frat boys at a fraternity party. Liquor, humans being turned into plants the works!

Cover: Is that a bunny woman about to cannibalize another bunny? That is some strange Alice in wonderland stuff. 8 out of ten. Despite the morbid bunny eating woman it seems to fit your story, the font matches the tone of your story, if creepy child crayon is what you were going for.

Summary: "Welcome to The Phantom Paradise hotel, I hope that you enjoy your stay..."

They're invited in, tricked by a charming facade before they end up trapped in her deadly web. She knows if she doesn't save them with the wonders of death now, humans will die to the horrors of life. While dining with the living she's always dancing with Death.

Well that is interesting, definitely fitting and I'm never staying in that hotel, screw that I'll spend the night at Cecil hotel and get possessed before I let a bunny woman eat my body while Death munches on my soul! All in all though good summary for a paranormal horror book but not a dark romance type of summary 5/10 not good nor bad just right .

First and second impressions:

1. Oh....OOOOH, so she's a bat. Also why does she look like a circus performer in the picture you supplied.

And what is that strange freaky ghost thing following her.

And that last line of the chapter has some pretty racy implications taken out of context.

Okay chapter two and GOD is that faceless thing disturbing! So she feeds it hearts, just like the Werewolves from Supernatural. It kinda makes sense.

2. So the bat woman is named Colette which doesn't really sound like a demon name but I supposes it's better than Zyglavis. (If you don't know greek you may need a dictionary.) And she can taste emotions, so you can't lie to her. One thing I'd like to know is does she own the hotel or does she just work there? In both cases why does no one hear that man screaming and well dying. Details man they are important! So if both her and the faceless creature are both considered demons then the title makes little to no sense.

7/10 while not much stuff was explained you did an amazing job of setting the atmosphere.

Trailer: So this trailer is kind of well meh, you can do so many things with this trailer and while I can see what you were going for, it fell short of it's goal. 10/15 while the editing is good and the music matched the pace you didn't cover much of the dark romance aspect.

Grammatical rating: 3 out of 5, why? Well because all chapters past 10 have incorrect comma placement and changes between past tense and present tense,  here and there. While it doesn't stop the flow of the dialogue it just can't be ignored.

Main Genre ratings: Paranormal 4 out of 5 on the demonic and occult research scale, but when it came to that thing following Colette around you don't give it a proper description or classification. Is it a demon, a ghoul, mindless food slave? I don't know because you didn't say. 8/9 your world especially the way the underworld/hell operates seems very cut and dry, there's a monarchy but instead of the oldest son inheriting the throne the younger one gets it due to his job, that's not how it works though in real life. The Angel kingdom/ Heaven seems slightly out of control considering Gabriel's actions in the chapter we first meet them.

Sub-genres: Horror category 5/5 on the atmospheric scale I could practically feel that weird creature staring at me things really peaked when it started getting angry. Gore horror, fridge horror, and body horror rating: 9/10 you wrote to your advantages and I can tell that it payed off.

Romance category,  5/5 your dialouge is on point especially when Colette begins bickering with some one (Namely Death or Leon). As for the pacing of both relationships 7/10, it seems like or at least feels like Colette started falling  for Leon a bit too fast but that may be because they know each other from before the start of the book, but I highly doubt a cop would enjoy dating a serial killer that eats human. As for Colette's and Death's relationship it is explained better and feels natural, however if Colette really did willingly say yes to the arranged marriage then she shouldn't be mad at Lucifer for the abuse of power instead of Death? I'm just guessing here.

Overall scores:

Cover-8/10

Summary-5/10

trailer-10/15

Grammatical rating-3/5

Genre rating- Paranormal one: 4/5

Paranormal two: 8/9

Sub-genres: Horror one: 5/5

Horror two: 9/10

Romance one: 5/5

Romance two: 7/10

Final score: 8/10: while this is a great story and utterly unique it definitely needs editing so make sure you take another look through. Your summary was good and fit the book for both horror and paranormal purposes but other than that it doesn't convey dark romance to me. Your cover is wonderful I'm guessing that you couldn't find a bat eared monster girl that would represent your book the best so you did the next best thing. This story passes! Just fix your grammar and possibly your trailer.
