Some typos need to be cleansed from the novel. I also suggest using (" or ') quotations marks to replace the – and * because it is not proper. Some readers will see it as itchy in their eyes. The grammar seemed good though Kudos! I like the story but it failed me to get hooked in the first chap. Maybe it was not for me. Don't take it as a personal attack but a critical objective review 😭 I hate to be critical though most of the time but it was what I think you needed the most. Well, good luck!
Just from the beginning of the story, the reader can feel that you have in mind a concept for the whole plot. You pay attention to details. The main character is expressive and the plot is interesting, sometimes very dark. You're doing a great job! Well done!
Great story! Plot is really well defined and I felt like I was inside the book and seeing everything. Great job author! Keep it up! I appreciate it!
Horror books are hard to write and i have an unimaginable thirst for horror and you managed to get me hooked Nice writing style Love the character design and background I look forward to more chapters
The story has potential. It is well-written and I like the way you described the scenarios. But I think the synopsis can get better if you add some details that'll show the story's main point. Otherwise, good work!
Let me preface this with an apology. I have no experience reading horror novels and what I'm presenting here is merely a layperson's opinion of this book, not a comprehensive critic that takes into account the minutiae of this niche genre. But as far as I know, horror novels are hard to write well, and that is something that the author should be commended for, especially when it has been done well. The story so far has been a smooth and enjoyable read, as the author demonstrates good grammar and writing structure, formatting and such. Horror books are not my cup of tea but it's a good novel. The plot is compelling and there is enough content already published to spend quite some time reading it. Keep up the good work, author! Have a great day, author, and everyone :)
The book has typos, but not so bad that you can't understand. I will advise you removing * from the book, because it is used for ungrammatical sentence in Syntax. Feel free to disagree not everyone will know that or agree with me, it is just my opinion as I am a linguist student.
Lovely book.The descriptions are beautiful, there's little mistakes which don't spoil the beauty of the book. it's a great sensation that is of different variety considering it's of horror version. Eloquent.
