Where Do We Go From Here? by josefaelsa
Total: 89/100

Judge: DeeDeeMars

Cover - 7/10
(The cover is too common and the text doesn't blend with the background, making it look out of place.)

Title and Blurb - 10/10
(Both are perfect for the story. The title shows the inner turmoil of the MCs and the blurb is simple and fun with the right amount of information)

Plot - 27/30
(The story itself is not unique, but I only got to read a few chapters. This could change with time. Though the concept of the story and the significance of the MCs decisions in their lives are very attractive.)

Flow - 9/10
(This is almost perfect. Though sometimes I felt like it was too much in too little time.)

Character Development - 13/15
(There are many attractive characters with different personalities. Even though that's amazing and speaks well of your world building skills, it could be a little confusing for the readers to face so many descriptions at the same time.)

Anticipation - 9/10
(I wanted to click that next chapter almost every time.)

Enjoyment - 10/10
(The story is quite enjoyable. It's fun and the MCs are witty with entertaining interactions)

Language - 4/5
(Your grammar and spelling are really good with the exception of a few minor mistakes.)

Lie To Me Again by nwrittenthoughts
Total 94/100

Judge: DeeDeeMars

Cover - 6/10
(The cover is simple yet not eye-catching. It's not aesthetically pleasant and the text placement is completely wrong)

Title & Blurb - 10/10
(They are both right for the story. The title is deep and the blurb gives enough away without it being too much.)

Plot - 29/30
(The plot is really good. I didn't find any plot holes or time lapses through the entire story –yes, I read it to the last published chapter.)

Flow - 10/10
(The pacing might seem a little slow, but completely necessary for the plot.)

Character Development - 15/15
(The characters are attractive and their personalities are unique. They have a deep way of seeing life. I loved it)

Anticipation - 10/10
(I was at the edge of my chair with this book. Amazing job)

Enjoyment - 10/10
(I loved every second of it. The story was very attractive and deep, the perfect combination for these kinds of books.)

Language - 4/5
(It needs little editing. Other than that, the grammar, spelling and writing style are good.)

The Secrets We Keep by NikkiLeeTaylor1
Total 97/100

Judge: DeeDeeMars

Cover - 9/10
(It's simple yet eye-catching. The text placement and variety of font are right. White is a very neutral color, but still plays good with the story. Though you just took a picture and added a text on it, the final result is amazingly beautiful)

Title and Blurb - 10/10
(The title matches perfectly with the story. The blurb is perfect as well, intriguing enough to make the reader want to click the read button yet simple enough to give enough information about the story without giving too much away.)

Plot - 30/30
(I have only one word for this: amazing! I love every second of my reading. The plot is well constructed and so beautifully built is a delight to read. It's also very unique and refreshing.)

Flow - 10/10
(The pacing of the plot is perfect)

Character Development - 15/15
(Both characters, Sophie and Madelyn-may, are the representation of women nowadays. Strong and decided yet fragile too. They show different personalities with well defined traits, but share a common pain that makes them the same.)

Anticipation - 10/10
(I couldn't wait to click next chapter every time I finished reading.)

Enjoyment - 10/10
(I loved this book. It's so different and well written that it's a joy to read. The author's writing style is pleasant to the eye and the descriptions were so detailed that I felt like I was there, feeling the pain of the MCs and sharing their secrets.)

Language - 3/5
(The book needs some editing, but other than that, it's more than ready to be found in a bookstore.)
