Congratulations to the 9 participants for making it into Round 2 from the list of 36 books in Round 1! That is a great achievement! So the qualifiers for Round 2 were as follows alphabetically by author name:

More Than This by 4thpowermama

A Girl Named Blue by BlueBaby0

Everything is Blue by Casparita

Woven Deceit - The Unthinkable Truth by Catherine_Edward

A Genius In Love by GlitchingStatic

The Forgotten by MagicPoppy

Don't Let Go by MidnightsDarling

Perfect Mistake by Mxrleyy (Wild Card Entry!)

An Omega's Tale by payytun

So I want to take this opportunity to explain the process to all of you. The organizer teenficawards came up with a great idea to have more points of view and varied reviews for all Round 2 contestants. So the primary judge for Round 2 of this category was ReneeShantel. She reviewed the books first and provided her thoughts and assessments in a write up of approximately 300 words. After the completion of her task, only the scores for each book were shared with me. Then, I read up to 5 chapters or more and provided a brief review of no more than 150 words.

You have already seen the reviews of the two judges along with your overall scores in the main awards book by now. Everything below the part of agreement with primary judge are my words so I will not repeat them here again. A heartfelt thanks and applause for the primary judge, ReneeShantel for her time, effort and wonderful insights! I agree with her evaluations and am glad to meet a judge who shared the same view point!

As for the scoring system, all of your scores from Round 1 were wiped clean and we started fresh! This time the scoring system was out of 30 making each point count for so much more than before when Round 1 was out of 100. Here is the break down:

Cover, Blurb and Title: 10 Marks

Quality of Writing: 10 Marks

Plot: 10 Marks

Total = 30 Marks

I will share an additional review here with some recommendations and specific points. I have also listed the mini awards for the various criteria per my scoring scheme. If any of you are interested in your individual criteria scores, please PM me.

Here is the additional feedback as promised that I hope you will find helpful as you continue your journey as a writer:

Rank 9 A Girl Named Blue by BlueBaby0 Total = 8/30; My Score = 6/30

I believe that your story has potential if you wrote about the main female character's background and issues first. It is really hard to follow why she conducted herself in a certain way that was unpredictable and sometimes very rude. Also, if you are writing on your mobile device, please find a quiet spot to focus and re-read your chapters many times before posting. Also to improve on your writing style, I would recommend reading more books of the same genre that interest you.

Rank 8 Don't Let Go by MidnightsDarling Total = 18/30; My Score = 18.25/30

After reading the Welcome, Playlist, Prologue and Chapters 1 to 5, here is my summarizing thought: If this book would only improve the grammar and spelling issues, it has a great and fun plot! You tied with three others for THIRD Place for the Cover, Blurb and Title section out of nine contestants!

For Spelling and Grammar issues, here are my findings with incidences in brackets: Sentence Structure (9), Missing Conjunction (7), Misused Words (35, pee vs. pea; disgust vs. discuss), Missing Adjective (1), Missing Punctuation (15), Incorrect Capitalization (16), Slang Used (8), Missing Negative (1), Wrong Article (6), Wrong Preposition Used (7), Singular vs. Plural (6), Word Spacing (8), Extra Verb (1), Present vs. Past tense (11), Wrong Pronoun (25), Misspelled Word (11), Wrong Punctuation (3) and Misspelled Chapter Title (1).

Your plot premise is great but the direction is still unknown. However, your character development is quite lovely! Some contrasting writing issues as you have a female character pouting and smirking at the same time. You do have a creative writing style where you write things in a succinct manner but it just requires some refinement.

Rank 7 A Genius In Love by GlitchingStatic Total = 18/30; My Score = 20.5/30

I read the Prologue and Chapters 1 to 5. My belief: Still enjoy the plot but the writing is not as smooth as before. Certain events and characters are confusing and do not add to the story line. In Round 1 out of 16 contestants' books that I reviewed, your entry obtained FIRST Place for Grammar, Spelling and Punctuation as well as Plot! You secured SECOND Place for the Writing and Creativity section in Round 1!

For Spelling and Grammar issues, your occurrence are minimal but they were non-existent for the first three chapters. Here they are: Missing Pronoun (1), Slang Used (1), Misused Word (2), Lack of Capitalization (1), Sentence Structure (5), Missing Punctuation (1) and Missing Words (1).

I am so glad you changed your cover because I checked! The summary needs to be tight to attract readers to your wonderful book because the three friends don't appear again until Chapter 5. A focus on the two protagonist will really do the job. You have a great product so market it!

Rank 6 Woven Deceit - The Unthinkable Truth by Catherine_Edward Total = 20/30; My Score = 20.5/30 (Beat Rank 7 in two of the criteria)

I reviewed the Description & Author Note and Chapters 1 to 5. This is my overall appraisal: Very intriguing premise but too much unnecessary detail and grammatical errors take away from its beauty! You tied with three others for THIRD Place for the Cover, Blurb and Title section out of nine contestants!

Spelling and Grammar issues include Sentence Structure (10), Wrong Conjunction (4), Missing Word (4), Singular vs. Plural (7), Misused Word (9), Missing Punctuation (15), Past vs. Present tense (13), Wrong Adverb Usage (7), Wrong Article Usage (8), Wrong Preposition Usage (16), Wrong Adjective Usage(1), Wrong Pronoun (5), Participle Issue (1) and Wrong Capitalization (2).

Two minor issues involve the confusing point of views that moves between the side character (sister) and the main male protagonist (brother) is hard to follow. Also, there is a reality concern as you mention numerous times about miscarriages that the main couple endures. However, you end up describing a still birth incidence instead. This throws me off a little.

You have a great plot premise with a mysterious feel! This book just needs some editing, focused minor plot development to add intricacy to the main plot and character refinement to make them a little relatable to the reader.

Rank 5 Perfect Mistake by Mxrleyy Total Score = 25/30; Secondary Judge Score = 24/30

I read the Prelude and Chapters 1 to 8. To me, this is a teen story that sends readers into a tailspin with its unpredictability, great humour and heart wrenching emotions! Your book had the best Cover, Blurb and Title ranking FIRST Place and shared THIRD Place for Plot with one other writer out of a total of nine contestants!

For Grammar, Spelling and Punctuation issues include Sentence Structure (1), Wrong Word Used (2, lose vs. loose, quiet vs. quite), Misused Words (2, your vs. you're), Misspelled Word (1), Singular vs. Plural (2) and Lacking Apostrophe.

In the beginning, the story does not sit well with me due to some of the crass writing and dialogues between characters. There are some reality issues like the presence of handcuffs in a school basement and allowing a 17 year old to stay out until 2:00 am. However, as the story progresses everything improves, so good job!

Rank 4 An Omega's Tale by payytun Total Score = 24/30; My Score = 25.25/30

I enjoyed reading the two Prologues and Chapters 1 to 6. In my opinion, this is still such an amazing book that has now added imagery, high emotional quotient and remains constant! You tied for THIRD Place for both Cover, Blurb and Title with three other contestants and for Plot with one other contestant out of all the nine contestants.

For Grammar, Spelling and Punctuation, there are minimal issues that included Misused Word (4), Missing Punctuation (2), Missing Preposition (1) and Wrong Pronoun (1).

Another recommendation from last time is that please correct the missing apostrophe S on your book cover. It is hurting your graphic scores. I am looking forward to reading this story as I am very curious as to what will happen next and the Werewolf genre is not something that I even like.

Rank 3 BRONZE WINNER Everything Is Blue by Casparita Total Score = 25/30; My Score = 26.25/30

I assessed the Author's note, Prelude and Chapters 1 to 5. I feel that this book is a beautifully crafted sad and intriguing story written and presented with its imagery and narratives! Your entry Placed THIRD for both Cover, Blurb and Title with three other contestants while it was ranked in SECOND Place for both Quality of Writing and Plot sections.

Spelling, Grammar and Punctuation issues include Plural vs. Singular (1) and Sentence Structure (1) in the summary. Chapter mistakes include Incorrect Capitalization (1), Wrong Pronoun (3), Misspelled Word (7), Missing Word (3), Misused Word (2), Wrong Preposition (1) and Word Spacing (1).

Sometimes, the dialogue is biting, revealing and honest interspersed with the protagonist's innermost thoughts. The authoress understands gender differences and portrays that in the writing. In a subsequent chapter, some eccentricities in the new male character throws the reader off just as much as it throws the female character off. I enjoy that feeling! The plot has a sense of eerie mystery, intriguing quality, thriller aspects and a romantic feel blended together. I hope as the story progresses the romance makes a larger and intense appearance.

Rank 2 SILVER WINNER More Than This by 4thpowermama Total Score = 27/30; My Score = 27.5/30

I loved reading the Foreword, Visual Cast List, Wattpad Block Party, Day One and Chapters 1 to 14 or 1 to 4 according to the author's organization. This book is a gem with its wondrous characters, unique book organization, intriguing plot and great message! Love it! Your book was THIRD for Quality of Writing, earned SECOND Place for Cover, Blurb and Title with one other contestant and was ranked FIRST Place for Plot out of the nine contestants.

For Spelling, Grammar and Punctuation, issues include Missing Capitalization (12), Missing Punctuation (19), Misused Word (3), Misspelled Word (3), Slang Used (2) and Missing Word (1).

For dialogue punctuation, many writers have issues including me, so I hope these guidelines will help:

^^^ In the start of the dialogue when preface with an action or feeling, the punctuation is used as follows - He said, "I care for you with all my heart." Or in the British version, singular quotes would be used along with the period occurring after the quotation marks.

^^^ When the action or feeling is present postface, the punctuation is used as follows - "I care for you with all my heart," he said. This is where most errors occur. Even if a sentence ends or is a question, it still ends with a comma and the following phrase is not capitalized. In the British version, singular quotes are used and the comma appears outside the quotation marks.

Rank 1 GOLD WINNER The Forgotten by MagicPoppy Total Score = 28/30; My Score = 26.75/30

It was lovely to read the Author's Note, Prologue and Chapters 1 to 5. This book is a teen story with great and supportive friends dealing with life's issues and heartbreaks but narrated, imagined and depicted in such a beautiful manner! You had the best Quality of Writing and Placed FIRST in that criterion while you Placed SECOND for the Cover, Blurb and Title section with one other contestant amongst all the nine contestants.

You have a very small number of Spelling issues that include Misused Word (3) and Misspelled Word (1). There are no Grammar or Punctuation concerns.

Your imagery and narrative skills are wonderful! I hope that romance appears in the story even though this story is classified in the Teen Genre. No recommendations but thank you for showing how editing is very important.

That is how I would like to end these reviews by strongly suggesting that editing your work will make your work stand out! Overall, I was gratified and pleased to see such wonderful books with beautiful writing, imaginative plots, great originality, amazing creativity and fun/sad characters! All of you should be proud of your outstanding work!
