Honourable Mentions: 

Girls Astray by: NatalieJennifer7

Review: I love the cover and how you work your name in between the title.

The summary needs organized but the actual summary is really good. It captured my interest instantly.

I can picture Amy very well. She is the relatable friend in high school who is quiet, and doesn't get much attention. I adore how well you develop your characters. Lolita made me realize that there is more to the popular girls. We, as readers, see inside of a sad mind of a teenage girl that no one realizes has issues. You touch on reality, and I love it.

I like the idea of That Girl. I like how each scene develops the plot further so it flows smoothly.

I would like more details of the characters surroundings. Show readers what their rooms and classrooms look like. Most of the scenery is well expressed and you show the girls personalities wonderfully.

The chapters are on the short side. Some of the paragraphs are too long and need edited into two or three paragraphs. Many places are lacking commas. The grammar is good and the flow of the words is great.

This book took me back to high school, which was many years ago. It made me feel like I was inside of the mind of these characters. Once I have time I plan to finish reading this book.

Shooting the Messenger by: PageTurnersPen 

Review: The cover is good, but the font could be different. Also, you should include your name on the cover.

For the summary – you should move the first bit of information to the bottom ( to be more organized and when readers see a preview of your book, this is all they see). The actual summary is an attention grabber and a greatly summarized version of your book.

I like how you show Claire is color blind by her clothing choice. You describe Mr. Macello's features very well, but not Claire's. Show readers what she looks like without directly telling them.

When the story starts you need to state whose point of view it is in. I assume it was Claire at the beginning by the words that were spoken, but halfway down the chapter it says 'Claire's POV' . We are reading some of the same information twice. Instead of repeating the same scene, show Mr. Macello's thoughts on Claire's answers. The story behind with a bang, literally. It has a great plot development and flow.

You only need one space between each paragraph, not two. Each speaker desperately needs their own paragraph. This took make points away from your novel. You only need italics for thoughts, flashbacks and when putting emphasis on a word. It definitely confuses the reader not knowing if it's thoughts or dialogue.

You have a good setting and describe your characters actions and emotions well. The scenery is very easy to envision, especially when Claire walks into the apartment in the first chapter.

I enjoyed reading the chapters and hopefully will continue soon once I have some free time. I highly suggest having someone edit your book for you when it comes to your dialogue. This is the only major issue with your book.

Congratulations Lovelies! 

Third Place!: 

Perchance to Dream by: rhythmchyc

Review: The cover is nice, I wish the picture was a little bigger. The white space is the focal point. I love the title of your novel, it's beautiful and very professional.

The summary is wonderful. It's very detailed and pulls me in as a reader. I love how organized your author's note and chapters are.

I love the details of your characters features. Nicholas is very easy to picture in my mind. The love and addiction from Katherine is remarkable!

You hooked me within a few paragraphs of the first chapter. Fabulous and flawless are two words to describe Perchance To Dream. The plot begins beautifully and climbs at a wonderful pace.

The details of everything is amazing. The descriptions of Nicholas's eyes left me breathless, the words represent so much. The details truly make this book outstanding. I can close my eyes and envision the scenes play out like a movie.

The grammar, spelling and punctuation are on a perfectionist level. Your writing style is out of this world. It is insanely professional and it is with great pleasure and honor that I am able to read such work.

Congratulations lovely! <3

Second Place!!

The Lies We Tell by: Write_4ever_

Review: The cover is good, but the font could be a different shade so some of the letters aren't blended in with the background.

The summary is really great! There are a couple commas missing, but the information pulls me into the story.

There are quite a few missing commas within the first few chapters. Otherwise, the grammar, other punctuation and spelling are spectacular.

The plot begins in chapter one with a great start the chapters are extremely long and they tend to drag on. Some readers may have issues with this, myself personally..I love long chapters. I can sense the hard word and dedication you put in this novel.

You do great describing the scenery surrounding your characters. I can easily envision everything. You make it very easy to see your book come to life with each word. I like how you describe the bar scene, but would like a little more detail of the interior.

You show your characters features rather well. I'm able to connect with the mc, as well as the side characters. They each have their own unique personality and that shows in your chapters.

This is one that I added to my library halfway into the first chapter! It's great that it made the WATTY shortlist for 2018! I can definitely understand why. 

The Lies That Bind by DellaKitt 

Review: The cover is pretty, it gives a mysterious feel that fits with the title. But, the writing at the bottom is not readable.

The summary is great! I would flip the order and put the actual summary, then the scene – but that's just a personal preference.

Your characters are all great! Edith is an older name, but Kazmir is a gorgeous, unique name. Less than half way into chapter one you begin showing readers the features of your mc's perfectly. I can easily get a feel of their personalities.

The prologue instantly pulled me in. The first paragraph if chapter one is extremely long, it can be changed into three paragraphs. I like how you begin with the prologue then show readers what leads up to that moment.

The details are wonderful with your characters and scenery. You express yourself very well, which invites your readers into an imaginary land of lust and romance.

The grammar, spelling and punctuation are phenomenal. There were no mistakes found within your first five chapters.

The setting of your story is expressed very well. I can envision every moment with your characters.

This is definitely a book I will finish and have added to my personal library. I enjoy a smooth read, and this is definitely a book that allows that.

Congratulations Lovelies!! <3 <3

First Place!!!: 

Mismatched - A Mismatched novel by: samkately 

Review: I like the title, but don't see why "a mismatched novel" is included with the title.

The cover is really good, I like the background photo. It definitely represents your book and the font stands out.

The summary is great. It peaked my interest and made me want to click read .

Your character developments are wonderful! You describe and show Jake's character perfectly. I like how you show his interest in cooking by what he cooks, and such an amazing choice of food by the way! I love the personality of Mrs. Harrostone as well.

Your opening paragraph is good, it tells readers a lot about Jake and his emotions. Your plot has a perfect build up; it's not too fast, nor too slow.

Your scenes are very detailed. From the first paragraph you show readers the scenery wonderfully. I enjoy how you show detail to the characters voices. Your detailing touches all five senses; taste, touch, smell, hearing and sight. This is absolutely an amazing job with detail. I can easily envision your chapters play out like a movie.

The grammar, spelling and punctuation are all flawless. It allows for a smooth, enjoyable read.

I highly recommend reading this novel. It definitely had earned a spot in my personal library and will more than likely end up on my favorites reading list!

Congratulations lovely!!! <3 <3 <3
