Scary Indeed
"I would be the one to say scarier than any Stephen King novel out there. Like coming from a household where Cujo and the Dark Tower series were worshiped more than any of my own successes I can say without a doubt that I would read this 9/10 times. Little errors there and there but I'm sure that you a normal reader won't spot them so I won't point them out. The plot is really good and was easy to follow. Plus the descriptions themselves should be read. In other words, I recommend this without another thought."
Thrilling!!!
"If I'm being completely honest, I would say this deserves to be a screenplay than a novel. One of the best thrillers I've read on Inkitt. A really captivating plot and good storytelling. I can't wait find out what happens next!!! P.S. : which lane behind Taj?"
Amazing start!
"Wow, what a fantastic and intriguing start this story has. I was hooked right through the very beginning and the author has done an amazing work in setting up the correct thrilling mode of the story. I'm all game for a psychopath who has a pattern for his crime and the details of the same did it for me. I need to read further. The writing is fresh and definitely worth appreciating. Keep up the good work! Waiting for the next updates!"
A MUST READ!!
"The blurb of the story had me on the edge of my seat. What a story! My God! I haven't read such stories for a long time now and this one is the best. I love the way how I couldn't just stop reading or pausing for even a second. God job author!! Thanks for sharing :)"
HOLY COW
"As someone whose favorite movies are "Saw," "Sinister," and "The Sixth Sense" the blurb for this book was like a fever dream in the best way. I'll start with my criticisms though and then end with the positives: There are a lot of grammatical errors here and punctuation as well. There are misplaced commas and quotation marks, sentences that could use some rearranging, and randomly capitalized letters/words. Overall, I definitely think this could use some editing as far as that goes because it's hard to get immersed in a story when your flow is being interrupted by these errors, so I think fixing that would do a lot of good. I have mixed feelings about the prologue. On one hand, LOVE the intensity of the moment. I could actually feel my heart racing a little and my eyes widening, which is great. I think it's an excellent way to pull a reader in to keep reading and want to see what happens!!! However, this feels like the climax of your book and that's not something you want to give away in the first chapter!!! I have a feeling that it won't be as exciting or draw dropping when the moment does come later in the story since you already gave it away. I think the solution might be shortening it a bit, maybe not giving so much away? But I don't know because at the same time it is a REALLY great hook. That's just going to be up to you because if something about that final scene is even more draw-dropping then you should be fine and maybe the anticipation when the person is reading it again knowing it was at the beginning will be climax enough. Either way: just something to think about. I think some of the dialogue, especially from the killer, is a little bit unrealistic? It sounds almost too robotic and not I don't know, there's just a quality to it that feels forced. I want a little more casualness and for the killer to have a specific voice - I'm not sure what that would be. Maybe they talk like a child? Maybe they have a deadpan tone that you can make come across? I'm not sure, but I think maybe developing that character to make sure he sounds real would make it even scarier. I almost WANT him to sound normal because when those we know and interact with every day are the ones who hurt us...oof that's scaryyyyy Now to the positives: again, that prologue was incredible. One of the best uses of a prologue I've seen in a while on this platform, despite my misgivings about revealing too much (again, I'm not sure that's such a big deal if you play your cards right when you do write that scene). I just love the conflict it implies. Again, the concept is great I mean talk about a really original, good idea! I even would like you to slow it down a bit, really delve into the inner thoughts and scene description. I want things to be slower pace when it's calm so that when the shoe drops you can pick up the pace of the writing and bring in that suspense and tension. This is turning into a really long rambling review, so I'll end it by saying: Great job, excellent idea! Can't wait to see what you have to say about my story because you and I clearly share the same love of really fucked up thriller/horror"
