The Tribrid

Awesome read so far! Definitely interested to see where it's headed. Devorah's story begins tragically and I can't wait to see her get revenge. Great work!

How it Ends

Great work. I really loved the opening and how we realize it’s our MC who was the root of what is going on in the world. The pace is great too. Some spelling errors here and there, nothing too major. Cool story, keep it up!

The S Girl

I can't say that I've ever read a spy story, it's not a genre that ever peeked my interest, but this book did! The pace is good from the start and keeps moving at a speed that makes you want to continue, There are a few grammatical errors, though they don't take away from the immersion. Well done!

Seeing Scarlett

While this is a story line that has been done before and I personally have an aversion to first person narratives; I am really pleased with how much I am enjoying this book! I will admit, I've only read the first two chapters, but I needed to let other readers know that this is a book that shouldn't be ignored. The writing is very professional and you can tell the Author took pride in their work by looking over it meticulously because there are little to no grammatical/spelling errors. The way the main character Scarlett drops bits of her history flows very nicely; there aren't big chunks of boring backstory that make you want to skip to a better part. Everything comes out as it's needed and I love Lillian!

Slave of Fire: The Weeping End

Overall, the author has a wonderful imagination, you can really see that through the writing; the environment and characters come through well. A small taste of this book will definitely catch your interest!
However, I feel as though the sentence structure can be quiet rigid and at times the dialogue doesn't seem to flow very well. These are things that are easily fixed and if they are would create a smoother read.

It Started with a Heist

This story has a great setup within the first five chapters. That MC, Emma has a strong presence on the page and we truly understand her issue with the current circumstances, and with her reluctance to break ties with the lifestyle her brother and she have been accustomed to.

The pace is perfect and so is the dialogue. You also paint beautiful imagery one I like in particular was in Chapter 1 when you describe the skyscrapers racing each other to the sky.

A few critiques: I think you could have slowed down the heist scene, the tension could really build with a bit more scene and less exposition. I did love that chapter though, there are a lot of good bones to work with.

Also, in the opening chapter when Emma dives into her family history, I felt my mind wandering reading through, it is relevant and great information, but it is given to the reader in the form of an info dump. So, while I think it is definitely information we are going to want to know, it may read better if you sprinkle it throughout chapters are key moments.

For instance, you could talk more about her parents in the coffee shop scene when she's explaining why she's not worried about telling him her name, a quick few sentences about how her parents raised the siblings removed from Chapter 1 and inserted there could be nice.

A side note on that - This was the only example of info dumping I found and the story truly picks right up after that and hooks you in!

Overall, you've got a strong story here that has a lot of cool tidbits, especially the story behind the Asylum painting, I actually looked it up, love that it's real!

Can't wait to see how this little love story unfolds.

Great work!

I need more!!!

First of all, the opening chapter with Ebony is killer. I'm worried for her and rooting for her, her past is obviously terrible and I wonder if we'll get to learn more about it, maybe Aeneas will find out who did all those terrible things to her and kill them one by one (I hope).
I love Aeneas too, his interactions with his pack and family make me believe he'd be more amicable to Ebony's plight than she believes.
As I mentioned before while reading your other book, I haven't been immersed in the Alpha/Wolf fandom, so these are some of the first stories in the genre I'm reading, and the ideas your weave into the stories are seriously badass. I love that their wolves are like separate entities from them, with their own feelings, wants, and needs. It's even more intriguing that when the human doesn't feel like they can get out of a situation their wolves take over, like in the jail cell scene.
My heart is definitely with Ebony, her voice alone makes me want to continue this book and hope for the happiest damn ending for her. Great job!

Hooked

This story is flawlessly written with great characters and a plot that sucks you right in. I'm not big on military reads so normally I would have never picked this for myself, but I would have missed out! Keep up the great work!

Sweet Love Story

I thought this was a really sweet story. The whole idea behind sticking to your promises, even a promise made so many years ago before they even knew what love was is lovely. Great work! Keep it up :)

Great Story

I left comments on each chapter as I read because I didn't want to forget the little thoughts I had about each. I hope those are helpful to you!
I enjoyed Erik's inner-wolf, as I said in a comment it reminds me of Venom and I find it comical and a nice little plot device to keep the reader wondering about whether or not Erik is going to remain in control.
Caelynn is definitely a spitfire, angry at the world, and for good reason, I like that she's sort of a double agent and trying to stay true to her goals while being miserably attracted to Erik.
Overall, the five chapters I read were great, there wasn't anything that pulled me out of the story and both characters are clear individuals, you know how each of them will react and respond in certain scenarios. I may just go in search of the rest of this book. Well done!

Crimson Dimension

I love this! The MC's voice is captured wonderfully, Kelly is a curious, skeptical, annoyed with authority teen and it's just right. The writing is solid and the pace is great. Will definitely be reading more from the author! Also, I love the way they enter the Crimson Dimension, you'd only trust a best friend enough to go into the stall with them lol.

Yes!

I know I probably sound demented, but I genuinely smiled at the end of this. Throughout the story my mind was racing as clues presented themselves and I tried to figure out what exactly was going on. Gorgeous description and immersion. I'm very excited to read more of your work!

The Flowers

This is a beautiful story.
It's such a quick read yet I still had a roller coaster of emotions. The Flowers definitely makes me want to read more of your work!
