Hello! As the number of participants for both Horror and Thriller were not enough we have combined both into the same category. And we have our two lovely judges Hedgehogslikefood  and OutgoingLoner_7  to thank! The results of this round are neck to neck and really close to each other! It was definitely a hard time deciding who is winning what. Congratulations to everyone in this round!

I don't think this one is too fair, as the book only has one published chapter. Though that chapter was excellent, I couldn't really calculate plot development. The only major problem is that there are quite a few grammar mistakes.

This. Book. Was. Brilliant. I loved the mystery in it, the investigative side to it, and I love how emotions came out throughout it. I just wish the cover (though fine as it is) was more unique.
