Time for some Honourable Mentions!

Evil Lurks Beneath by: Thewerewolfsack

Review: 

Book Title: The book title does its job by giving an idea of the contents of the book. As an additional comment, I'd say the title hints to more towards a thriller genre rather than a science fiction genre.

Book Cover: The cover consists of a lady lying on the ground surrounded with some flowers, which matches pretty much with the plot. This delivers an ominous feeling of someone's loss, or to be more precise, of death. The font colors and sizes are okay but the top left hand corner of the book cover gets concealed with a sticker of an award that the book achieved. I'd suggest making the sticker size a bit smaller and adding it to a side where the flowers are not present will make the cover look better. The flowers have their own role so I think the author should focus on them too.

Book Description: I find the book description alright but I think there's one question that came to me, why would Adrian want to save Kaya's life without befriending her? I think the author can give little hints about it without unraveling the entire catch. Yet, as I said, this is just something additional.

Plot: Our main characters are college students Adrian and Kaya. It's not a bubbly, cliché young adult love story what readers might think about. The book begins with Adrian having unpleasant dreams about a lady being murdered by another man. The twist arises when we get to know that Adrian knows none of the victim and the accused. Another shock that follows is that Adrian gets these dreams constantly. Such occurrences leave Adrian weak and he vows to save the lady before it gets too late. That is, when Adrian meets Kaya, the lady of his dreams. Now there seems to be a solution, isn't it? No. The author promises: things won't go that smooth.

Spelling, Punctuation, Grammar and Vocabs: The vocabulary used falls within a mid range of simple and difficult list. I didn't find any errors in spellings and punctuation but there were one or two places where the author missed few words for a sentence to be more specific in the meaning they provided. I've pointed them through my comments and I think they can be fixed any time.

Writing Style, Character Development, Flow and Setting: I loved the writing style of the author which is why the long chapters didn't bother me at all. I felt reading more and more and more. The author definitely did great job with the setting of the book that is accompanied by a range of descriptive words. The main side character is Kaya's best friend Victoria who shone throughout the book equally as Adrian and Kaya did. I also appreciate the way in which the author presents the bond between Kaya and Victoria. The flow is good but references to science and such doesn't appear till chapter 5, which might discourage a few portions of readers.

Creativity and Enjoyment: The author was successful in providing most of the important scenes to the readers clearly. I'd like to extract one such event in chapter five, where the fight scene between Adrian and a stranger was penned, which is an example of one such successful approach. Of course, the book was a good read in my opinion.


Resurrection by: AuraliaMinnet

Review: 

Book Title: I loved the one word book title which was 101% apt for the storyline.

Book Cover: The cover consists of a woman having tattoos of vibrant colors over some parts of her body with a background of constellations. The author did a brilliant job with the cover which was again apt for the storyline. I don't think there could've been a better option for the cover because the texts used were also visible.

Book Description: I think there could be a little more added to the description telling why Eliza shouldn't be happy about her resurrection. I'd also like to add that the last line of the description stood out for me.

Plot: Eliza is our main character who should supposedly be happy to get a new life after being frozen for about two hundred and fifty years in a high tech world. There's the catch the author puts: she was brought back to life only to serve as a slave to men fulfilling their sexual desires. No women would accept such whole heartedly and there was no difference in the case of Eliza. Daniel is the person who paid to give Eliza this life: only to earn money from what he forced upon Eliza to do. This is where resurrection begins.

Spelling, Punctuation, Grammar and Vocabs: While everything seemed okay to me, I think the author can fix some of the punctuation issues I came across while reading the book. I'd also like it if the author included a key for some of the technical words used throughout the book.

Writing Style, Character Development, Flow and Setting: There's something I'd like to say about the writing style of the author. I think the last line of the first chapter was a very direct attempt to reveal what was Daniel's actual profession. Even though the entire chapter gave some ideas, I think the author could have revealed it later creating some more drama. The character development is appreciated and I liked how the author kept Daniel as a dark character and didn't reveal his real picture. Yaru was another character that struck the readers through his words and care for Eliza. I loved how Yaru was helpful towards Eliza and other women who were brought by Daniel and how he protected Eliza from the bodyguards Edward and Jake. The badass character of Eliza seemed really authentic to me. Each and every chapter's ending was well planned and created just the right amount of impact on the readers. Both the flow and setting seemed okay to me.

Creativity and Enjoyment: Creativity is the author's strength. The idea of the new paint which was more like a tattoo is one thing that I found unique. There was a twist that we learned about Yaru, which is, he wasn't healed because if he did, then he wouldn't be able to educate women of the tasks that they had to perform- again creative idea. I'd recommend the book to everyone, even those whose genre isn't erotica because the book isn't entirely about erotica. The author was successful in crafting the helplessness of Eliza and it has got surely more to offer to the readers.


Congratulations lovelies!


Claiming Third Place we have!: 

No Sleep by: Jelly_Monroe 

Review: 

Book Title: The title seemed perfect to me because once Xander learns about the project, his sleeps indeed fade away.

Book Cover: The cover too was perfect. It had a metallic hand pointing to an eye. Again, it matched with the title and the plot hinting to sleep or no sleep at all.

Book Description: While the description seemed okay to me, I'd like to know a little more about the "No Sleep Society mantra" that the author mentioned in it.

Plot: The plot revolves around our main character Xander who doesn't want to sign up for an updated hand offered by the KaiHueInc. The updated hand basically replaced the human hand with a technologically improved metallic hand. Xander is a soldier and once he's offered a good deal of money for volunteering in this project, he doesn't understand why he and the other volunteers will get paid for such. When such questions arise, Xander tries to investigate on his own but is prevented from doing so by a detective assigned by the KaiHueInc that was conducting the project. Now he gets observed even more than before by the officials and soon he learns that his friend Lupita has agreed for volunteering and he needs to stop her from doing so.

Spelling, Punctuation, Grammar and Vocabs: I didn't find any issues with this sector other than a few technical words used which I suggest can be understood better if the author includes a key.

Writing Style, Character Development, Flow and Setting: Crafting the story by using descriptions is the author's strength. This made the writing style and setting planning stand out. The author also knows how to use similes brilliantly. Character building was another factor that made the book a good read. I enjoyed the curious mind of Xander who later found out that the KaiHueInc sells customer data to third party companies. Lupita seemed a care free character who understood things when it concerned money which is why she readily accepted the offer by the KaiHueInc. Sergeant Gennaro possessed a calm character when Xander went mad hearing about Lupita's agreement which I felt was appropriate. Along with these, the flow went good.

Creativity and Enjoyment: The nickname "Longshot" given to Xander seemed amusing to me. The way in which Lupita spoke seemed really catchy. I think the friendship between Xander and Lupita and the KaiHueInc searching for volunteers for their project will bring many more things in spotlight after further read. So I am going to continue my read with this book.

Congratulations lovely! <3


Coming in at Second Place we have!!: 

The Battle Within An Angel by: NBNiar 

Review: 

Book Title: I think the significance of the title will be revealed after a thorough read of the book. I read the first few chapters and it seemed to me that the three teens Maddox, Claire and Cole may contribute to their assigned roles which is why I felt that "Angels" would be a more suitable replacement for "Angel" in the title. But as I said earlier, there might be indeed a contribution of one Angel rather than two.

Book Cover: The cover comprised of a manly figure with wings in an area that was amidst fire. I think the cover is suitable with the title the author has chosen giving the idea of one Angel.

Book Description: The elements present in the description seemed enough for me but I'd like to say that it had quite a lot of spacing than actually needed.

Plot: Mother Earth is dying because the sun has turned a Red Giant Star. The world temperature has reached heights and everything is burning with more radiation in the atmosphere that has ever been. Amidst this, the nineteen year old Maddox hears strange voices commanding him to protect a girl who will in turn protect the Earth from this devastation. This girl is Claire. There's another boy Cole who meets Maddox on the lonely streets and decides to stay with Maddox, meeting Claire at the same time Maddox finds her.

Spelling, Punctuation, Grammar and Vocabs: All sectors seemed alright to me but I think the author can include a key for "Red Giant" and any other technical words used.

Writing Style, Character Development, Flow and Setting: The author did a great job in portraying the helplessness of people in such a devastating situation, especially by including ideas such as people didn't hesitate to snatch resources from others for just one intention of surviving a little more. The descriptions of the sceneries of burning buildings and houses, lifeless habitats and abandoned areas really struck my mind so I won't hesitate to say that the author nailed it in terms of setting. It seemed so authentic that the readers will feel that they themselves are in that situation witnessing such. I must say that I saw some good character building in this book. Maddox had no one in his life but his care for the two complete strangers Cole and Claire wasn't a bit unbelievable and the credit goes to the author in making the readers believe such. The flow went good as well.

Creativity and Enjoyment: After the above mentioned sectors, the author again showed their prowess at creativity and enjoyment. There were some cool additions when Cole grew blades from his knuckles, Maddox grew wings and the unique transfer of blood between Maddox and Claire. The idea of the inclusion of gold running through veins instead of blood at some particular point was another cool approach in this book to hook readers. I definitely recommend this book to readers because they'll miss a lot if this book isn't given a try.

Congratulations lovely!! <3 <3


Annnd Finally!!! Presenting our First Place Winner!!!: 

SYSTEM/FIRST PHASE: ERROR by: TahsinHossain

Review: 

Book Title: The first impression with the title is interesting. After reading a couple of chapters of the book, the readers find out that the title is suitable with the plot. After finishing the book, the reasoning behind the title is further revealed as the book being the first book of the series. I'll say that the book title was a perfect one.

Book Cover: The book cover gives some vibes of technology featuring a guy. I think this is appropriate because the story revolves around one of our main characters Mashiro and his activities regarding technology and system. The colours chosen are both dark and light shades of blue with a tiny part of black. The texts on the cover are visible too. I'll say the cover nailed the visual experience along with being relevant to the plot.

Book Description: The book description seems good to me as it contains the right amount of information to trigger the adventurous minds of the readers. However, I'd like to point out some things regarding its presentation. I think there can be some spacing between the first paragraph of the book description and the extract taken from the book, so that the first paragraph gives some understanding of the contents of the book while the extract gives a picture of some event taking place in the book.

Plot: Our main characters are Mashiro and Len. Mashiro is the teen of Japan, who goes on adventurous and risky missions of hacking various databases under the order of someone who he doesn't know. Len is the artificial intelligence, A.I. that is embedded in Mashiro's brain. Mashiro confronted a deadly accident after which he was introduced to Len for his survival. As intriguing it suggests, everything takes a rapid u-turn when Mashiro needs to flee from his home, all alone, to save the lives of millions of innocent human beings. Our side character is Erika, who is another teen like Mashiro and does some similar jobs as him. But being the side character doesn't lessen her significance in the book because she has to do much.

Spelling, Punctuation, Grammar and Vocabs: I did spot some grammatical and punctuation errors and notified the author immediately about it. Some technical words had been chosen but other than that the sentences could be read by readers who are not accustomed to difficult English vocabulary.

Writing Style, Character Development, Flow and Setting: Every chapter name was selected beautifully and was indeed unique. The chapter titles perfectly matched the contents they contained and I must say the chapters ended in a way that is appreciated. The twists at some points of the book were really unexpected and up to the mark. The character development has been done beautifully because the author did an amazing job with the character of Len. Well, some might think that Len isn't a human being, then why do we need to focus on Len? I'll say that their thoughts are not so correct. The development with Mashiro's character couldn't have been successful without focusing on Len. The setting seemed okay to me; I would have actually loved more if there had been a little more details with the surroundings of the character.

Creativity and Enjoyment: Sci Fic might only sound like hacking and adventure but this author proved that humor can secure a firm spot too. Every sentence of the book testified the creativity and the hard work of the author. I definitely enjoyed the book, especially with the author's own style of adding humor and wasn't disappointed by the long chapters the author crafted. I am looking forward to read more from this author.
