Saving Mona by Choco_Late8

Review:

Here is another wonderful work. I was fully engrossed in your book that I didn't want to put it down. It was really captivating. I liked the way you described your character's emotions; pulling your readers closer to her and making us feel every of her pain. It was really nice reading your work and I should commend you for your beautiful cover, attention grabbing blurb, and interesting plot. You did a wonderful work.

Nevertheless, I advice you work on your punctuation marks. Many a time, your character's conversation ends without a punctuation mark. You used semi colon instead of a colon at a point too. It is important to note that Ellipses is a three dot character (...) not ten.

There were some spelling errors too. I will mention a few: 'weary' not 'wearing', 'parked' not 'packed'.

You began your story very well but you kind of messed things up when you introduced Jarod's character, you switched from your normal past tense narrative to present tense. Work on all of these, and you will have a flawless book. Well done!

Fight of Desire by Anne_Hedonia

Review:

I have read many books in which the authors try to write in present tenses but fail miserably. However, you didn't and I am very pleased. I enjoyed reading your book; I liked the way you conveyed Evelina's emotions, I felt so close to her. You wrote so well__ very well to gain my interest right from the very first page. Your cover and blurb are very catchy; it was enough to win over readers.

Despite the fact that you wrote very well, I will like to bring to you notice some errors I found. First of all, you wrote: 'The warning bell rings signaling 4 minutes until class'. Now, there ought to be a comma after 'rings'. '4' ought to be written in words too. You shouldn't use the literal number while writing unless they are larger than one hundred.

Your punctuation usage needs to be worked on; some of your character's conversations lack a full stop. In addition, there is a big difference between 'to' and 'too'. You should know when to use them.

Apart from the above, your book is wonderful and I am really pleased with it.

🎊All we lost by KeiraKnox1🎊

I don’t usually outright say this but I absolutely adore your book. It’s drama and coming of age and happy and sad all at the same time! Certain moments had me blown away with the accuracy of the book. You nailed it! But, one criticism (hence the half point decrease) Tay is a guy. He is also an F the world, angst ridden teenager. His personality was sometimes inconsistent. Every time he does something bad, you can’t just redeem him like that. Let it sink in. Let the readers feel the effects. He feels like a screw up, portray him in his own POV as a screw up. He is angry at the world, but mostly at himself so prove it!

It is gripping and smooth. Easy to understand and not cheesy at all. One of those books you could look over at first, but once you dive in you can’t put it down until it’s finished. At times, the characters don’t seem realistic, but that is very easily fixed once you get in the mindset of your characters.

Sometimes the language was kind of choppy, but it wasn’t bad enough to take a full point. Just add a little more description without drowning the reader and it will take this up to the next level.

Editing will help but this book is extremely well done for a first draft. I am honestly blown away! I mentioned the slight inconsistencies, but overall this is a fantastic book that I will continue read on my own time!
