Cold Ashes





This story is interesting. The description is fantastic, and leaves me satisfied. The words describing the setting are so real that I feel myself right there, beside the characters. Also, the mood and tone are set perfectly, it gives me a slight chill on the back of my neck. For example, when Ryan is bit on the wrist, the kind of approach on how to describe is put me on the edge of my seat. The following actions made me excited, and desperate to read more. And as I continue on, I find more parts propelling me forward, desperate to find out what will happen next.

I saw almost no flaws in this story. Maybe a spelling error here or there, but nothing major. It’s very well written, and the grammar is almost spot on. But then again, the storyline seems to be also dragging. Yes, the detail is fantastic, and the setting is outstanding, but the pace of the story is kind of slow. A little too slow to be relaxing, but fast enough to where it’s boring.

Overall, I think this story is pretty amazing. I would recommend it more to boys than girls, because of the feel of the story. The grammar is outstanding, and the detail is fabulous. The story will keep you wanting more. I don’t think it will ever get boring, considering the storyline seems to be pretty solid. The pace, despite feeling slow, is needed to get the feel of the setting. Again, not relaxing, but that shouldn’t matter because this story is meant to send chills up your spine, not put you to sleep.

The Dreamer's Cycle: Born of Fire Volume One





This makes me feel like I’m reading a never ending poem. Honestly, the descriptiveness is so magical feeling and it really gets you relaxed, but it starts out not feeling like a story but just a run-on of words.

In any case, I find this very well done. Very professional and I hope to see it win the Watty awards. Things of improvement is the chapters feel too long, too slow as well, they feel like they drag on forever when reading. It’s a great style, to have and I’m not dissing it, I’m just giving my personal opinion.

It’s an interesting plot and I recommend this to the reader who is looking for a dreamy fantasy with heavy imagery and descriptiveness. Very well written, very well done. Just not for me, but I wish the author luck in their writing career. 

The Mutant Star Tragedy




This story is brilliant. It should have more readers and votes than its got. This is for someone who wants a Sci-Fi Scare. This will make you cringe, the way it was worded I’m an impressed with the descriptiveness, it sometimes can get graphic and gross you out, but that’s why it’s great.

The summary may not be all that intriguing at first, but the story kept me hooked. I love seeing the author’s dedication and effort within this read and I look forward to reading more to this book. An end of the world book or movie has becoming something sometimes boring, cliché and done too much… But this story is one of the apocalyptic books I am loving.

Grammar and sometimes perspective could be better. But in any case, if you’re looking for an apocalyptic story, I highly recommend this for you. This story is R-rated for a reason though. If you’re squeamish to murder, rape, abduction, stomach churning violence… This story not for you, but I will swear this story makes all the horror feel real. And that means the author has made a successful story.

My King


http://a.wattpad.net/cover/4483814-256-k46855.jpg

Where do I begin? I think this is interesting. I think this story could go far. The plot is not completely original, but the storyline itself is quite fabulous. I enjoyed reading about the main character’s conflict, and I enjoyed how realistic the reactions were to the plot twist and certain characters. The grammar is great as well. I saw no flaws in it, and I could tell that setting plays a giant roll in the character’s speech, which was portrayed greatly again.

If I had to give the author something to work on, I guess it would just be storyline. There’s a lot of room to really do anything with it. There’s also a chance that the story could fall off it’s high horse and into a big pile of shit. But, I just can’t really see that happening, even if there’s a possibility. So, in saying that, what I suggest is try to eliminate any possibility that this story could go wrong.

Overall, I like this story. I wouldn’t go as far to say I love it, considering there isn’t enough of the story to really draw me in. Of course, it got me interested, but it didn’t grab me, and hold me tight. I would mostly recommend it to girls, seeing as it gave me a fairy tale feel.

End Game




I can say this is a ChickLit story, I usually hate these types of stories, this genre but this story was bearable. Take that as a compliment. I have to read stories and review them when the author requests me to review, can be any genre and when I see a ChickLit… I honestly cringe.

Yet, this was well written, emotion portrayed well and I love how many girls— Or at least how I can relate. I don’t always agree with what’s going on, but it’s nice seeing how the main character is growing. All and all this is a good story and I recommend it if you’re looking for a ChickLit Romance.

I won’t— can’t honestly say anything bad about this story, give it a slight edit and it’s very professionally done. It’s a perfect ChickLit, self-acceptance and heartbreak. Bravery and vulnerability. These emotions show through in the main character and I find this very well done. The author knows how to keep readers reading, even the ones who do not like ChickLits. Be proud and keep writing. :)

Family Goes Beyond Blood




This story will make you cry! The raw emotion this story has— how the author portrays them is unbelievable. It really drags you into read this story, the plot is pretty simple but it’s the descriptiveness and writing ability that keeps me reading

Only fix there could be is some small spelling and grammar errors. Nothing major, more like a slip of the finger to the wrong letter on the keyboard. Give this story a quick edit and it is something the author should be proud of.

I wish I could say I recommend this story to anyone, but honestly it may not be something some readers can bare. If you can relate to your family being murdered of some sort, than probably not for you if it will only bring back the pain. Because even if you cannot relate, this story will make you feel sad in the pit of your stomach.

Amazing how the author wrote this, I hope it is completely fictional… I know these types of stories happen in real life, but I don’t know, the way this was written is all to breath-taking, makes you read on in awe and a cold sweat. It’s addicting for even though it is a tragedy… Look for the romance ahead. The thing I like about this, moral of the story perhaps… it’s all about, facing and healing from life’s troubles. We all have to do it whether we like it or not. I highly recommend this story.

Laughter House




This story is outstanding, and it’s plot is amazing. I like how dark and creepy, yet childish and naive it is. The mix of those qualities is very unique and makes this very entertaining to read. The grammar is good for the most part, but the amount of the description could be amped. Though, in saying that, this story is truly brilliant and I enjoyed reading it.

Things the author could work on, would be your description. Instead of using such bleak words, try to bump up the vocabulary. It would make the story much more eerie. I feel that when I’m reading it, I am just reading a rough draft, and more will be added later. More of what you ask? Sensory details. As I read this, I longed for long descriptions of how creepy and eerie the house was. For example, when the author described the sudden giggle in the fifth chapter, I longed to read something more bold. So, maybe adding richer and more descriptive words in the story would give it more of a creepier, and heart racing feel. That’s all I feel needs to be worked on.

Overall, I would recommend this story to everyone. Why? For one, it’s appropriate for anyone. Second, the plot, is kid friendly and even though it’s creepy, and dark, it’s beautiful and interesting. Third, the pace is slow enough for anyone to follow, yet fast enough to keep you drawn in and interested. So, in my opinion, this is the book to read if you feel the need to read something mysterious or angsty.

My Second Sight




Nice summary to start off, the prologue is even more amazing. I was a little disappointed when I found out this may be a, “vampire story” but I read on because it is very well written so far, especially as far as organization and plot go.

Turns out to be a vampire story… Not a vampire love story, thank God, but nonetheless a vampire story. It may have been better if you replace the vampires with the CIA or something. That’s just my personal opinion of preferred genre nonetheless though. Some readers like vampire stories, some don’t.

This story really keeps you reading whether you like it or not. That’s the way a story needs to be. The tension in this story keeps building up, keeps you wondering so much about what happened and what will happen. I love that mysterious feeling when I am reading.

In any case I can say I love this story, only minor grammar mistakes and the rest seems perfect, plot, pacing, detail. So if you’re looking for a great action-fantasy-mystery about a psychic girl who has vampires after her with a little romance thrown into the mix… This is the story for you. 

Reality bites




First off, I think some author’s forget about the importance of a summary. This author is one of those, I recommend making the summary of this story longer and more interesting. Good at keeping the plot secret, but also I have no clue what this story is; it doesn’t give enough of the story away to me to hook me in to read the book. Work on that.

What I assume to be the “prologue”, the opening to Reality Bites is amazingly done. I loved that, that’s more like a better summary, so I’d personally replace the summary with that. That is something that will hook a reader into this book. I also want to see a little more descriptiveness… Sometimes the author is good at it, sometimes not…

Now that that’s out of the way, this story is wonderful. If you’re looking for a thrilling fantasy than this is for you. If you believe in demons and other realms other than the one you know, this is for you. The author has sheer talent for writing and I am impressed. Minor work in this story, other than that, this is my type of read and I recommend it to all.

This is the type of story I hope to see go far, the writing style is nearly perfect. It is as an author and reader alike do… Escape reality. The author really takes you away from reality and opens your mind to that in itself. At this point I’m no longer one that wants an escape but… In any case this story is direct on telling you you’re escaping and that there are many other worlds to discover, I like that and I hope this plot will have some good twists coming soon…

That Morning




Interesting. I can say nothing more; this is a teen fiction short story… That is still early on within the book. I like it so far. I’d like the author to put a summary on this and slow down, this sometimes get’s confusing when you jump right from one scene to the next. Put some obvious indentations within your paragraphs.

The author needs to work on her grammar, perspectives and pacing. Other than that this story is off to a nice start. Too early in the book to say, honestly. It’s an interesting start nonetheless and I hope the author will impress with the plot. As far as I’m concerned this story can go in an upright swing or go downhill.

We will see in do time. For now, I’m rating it so far, so good. Plot is interesting; I see it going far if the author puts in some effort. Other than that I will just suggest other’s to give it a read. It’s better than a lot of other things I’ve read; at least the author has talent and some skill. So let’s get this unknown author known.

The House of Lattimore




This story is an amazingly professional job. The author has amazing talent for descriptions, which is highly needed in the Historical Fiction genre. You need to transfer your readers mind back to whatever era you are trying to portray and the author of this story does it splendidly. I found practically no mistakes in this story as far as spelling and grammar are concerned.

One thing I think that could use some improvement is that the length of chapters is unconsistent. Try to keep chapters at a decent length and all the same length. It’s disappointing to read one long chapter and then one extremely short one. Readers may lose interest. Shorten some paragraphs as well, other than that I’m impressed with the professionalism.

I recommend this story to all, or those of you looking for a Historical Fiction Romance. It is quite good; plot keeps me interested and that is a hard thing to do. This type of story you need self-study, you need description, you need more effort than other genres that can just be pulled out of your hat.

The author did this story without fail. I sometimes feel it is a tad predictable, but nonetheless makes me question myself, makes me read more and more so I recommend this story for it has just impressed me so much.

Neo Genesis




This story isn’t officially posted online yet, the author still has it in draft form, but I mist say it is an impressive three chapter draft. The author emailed it to me asking for a review and I cannot deny giving this story a review before it hits the net. I want to see this story get popular.

It’s very thrilling and I love a good science fiction novel. The chapters are a great length, organized, and well plotted. This author has an amazing talent and I hope to see him just keep writing. I find nothing really bad about this story, it still needs slight edits but the author will find those mistakes, it’s still in draft form.

Before I forget I will mention to you all that the author desires to make this series of his into a graphic novel. So if there are any comic artists reading this interested in becoming the artist of this story, please contact me or the author. The author will not pay you but in my opinion I would get in on this story. For I feel it will go far one day— or at least I hope so. This would be a great action movie, it starts out beautifully.

I can only say positives about this story and highly recommend, it’s one of my favorites I’ve read in awhile. The thrilling, occult, sci-fi and action stories are just so addicting for me, and even if you’re not into that stuff… Maybe this story will make you be… Check it out for yourself.

All The Little Sacrifices




This story isn’t what you’ll suspect. At first you think it’s just about an aspiring actress trying to get discovered, just something funny and amusing, but… I tell you it’s so much more. It is thrilling and leaves me on edge to read more. I recommend it to anyone honestly. It’s a good balance of everything.

I’d like the pacing to be slightly faster, but other than that this story is very well written. I hardly found any grammar or spelling mistakes. Only the pacing and the description could be a bit better. Other than that it’s perfect.

Never thought humor and horror could be blended this well. I honestly love this story and hope it get’s more attention. That’s why I am pointing it out here, the last few stories I have read have been crap and it really helps you appreciate an author with so much talent writing a story like this. Check it out. 

Blaze




This story is wicked. I love the ingenious plot, it may seem like a X-men or Sky High rip-off to most people, but I appreciate the originality I do see. I recommend this to all. I personally love this story.

The only thing I didn’t like about the story was the main character’s name… Asterisk… Isn’t that what this  *  is? At least the author pointed that out in the story. Oh well, don’t let that shallow critique stop you from reading this. I definitely want to read on with this story and recommend it to all who are into the super-girl kind of stories.

So now in all seriousness, the only mistake I find is minor grammar and spelling, slight lack of description and mainly, that I believe the author should have done this story in first person. Sometimes it switches from third person to first person and that gets confusing. I don’t care what perspective the author decides to do, just pick one and stick with it.

Overall this story impressed me. It is delivered very well and I appreciate the hard effort, admire the author’s talent and look forward to more. If you are looking for a story about mutant kids with special abilities, this story is for you.

My Love




The plot is fantastic… The rest of the story is completely awful. Period. No getting around it. If you’re looking for a vampire romance, than this is for you… If you can ignore writing errors of all sorts. I can’t.

It feels like a Twilight rip-off, honestly. Twilight gone pop/hip hop. I still like the plot, at least feels like the author has some sense of originality I can appreciate. If the author works harder and puts more effort, than this story could go far because these vampire romances are very appealing to teenage girls of this era right now. So good job there.

Now for the negatives… I honestly don’t think this author knows what capitalization is. Or commas and grammar and spelling needs work. Paragraphs are too long. If this story is edited, I may take it seriously. As of now, I’m sorry, I read nothing but mistakes.

This really saddens me, I can see so much potential talent, but it’s put to waste my laziness. Honestly, these aren’t mistakes you can look over… When you can’t go one sentence without reading a mistake. This story could be epic, but now it’s only an epic fail. I want to see it when it’s edited, then I will give this story a five-star review.

TRS (The Robot Survivors)




The plot is great, ingenious. Who doesn’t love a story about robots taking over the world? The action is awesome, well written there; it is an amazing sci-fi thriller, filled with mystery and some romance. I feel this story could go far…

However, I didn’t find this story professional at all. Nor was it organized. This story honestly gets confusing. Third person I like to read, but the author does not do a good job at pulling it off. If this story had some major editing it could win a watty award no doubt. In its current state… not a chance.

You cannot just have a good plot alone. You have to have grammar, correct spelling, organization, good description and pacing. This story only seems to have a great plot, nothing more. As much as I could enjoy this story, I really don’t want to read it because it is so disorganized, little effort put into it. I recommend it if you want a robot takeover, sci-fi read and only read it if you don’t mind major writing errors.

Serendipity






This is an awesome fantasy story filled with romance, mystery, tragedy, angst and more. It is something I really enjoyed reading and I recommend it to all. I know the whole story of mutants saving the world has been done, but this seems so original and done in a whole new fresh way. I can’t wait until the plot picks up the pace.

The grammar and spelling needs slight work, along with the chapters being slightly longer and the author needs to be a bit more descriptive. Overall these problems are very minor. Again, I find the story very original and I like that.

You could say it’s a little too melodramatic, but I’d be a hypocrite if I said that since I tend to write stories like this. Seriously, I think it’s taken a little bit overdone with the drama feels good, the emotions, but the entire not speaking and dressing in black, keeping her face unseen… Is way out there. Whole new level of angst and drama, but maybe that’s what gives this story that spooky character.

I recommend this story, the summary was done really well it can pull readers in and the rest of the story keeps them reading. The chapters are short but at least something happens to continue the plot and it’s not unneeded fillers. Overall it’s a story worth checking out, I personally love it.  


Strings of Harmony




This story… Has a very talented author. It is very well written, the spelling and grammar is about perfect. Which is impressive and I appreciate the effort. This is placed in the Teen Fiction Humor genre and I applaud the author, for it is the perfect and star story for this genre.

However, personally it bored me. It is a good story; it’s just my personal opinion that there is no plot to this. No good plot, at least… again, in my opinion. The only thing I enjoyed was the humor, or rather entertainment. It’s good for a small giggle, but nothing really more than that.

If you like stories about bands and music competitions, than this story is for you, but it’s not for me. The pacing needs to pick up, I honestly find chapters were too long and pointless at times. The beginning was good, but after reading on and on I  got bored.

I can say I recommend this story for the author’s amazing ability, I enjoyed reading it for that matter as well, it’s just something I personally will not continue to read. This type of story, even as well written and funny as it is, will only appeal to the right. I wish this author luck and hope she goes far.

Secrets Unfold




I kind of wish this wasn’t a vampire story, but I know it will become popular because of that. It’s just my personal opinion. I can say that this story is deep and intense. Even though the plot is still in the early stages and unfolding. The mystery is wonderfully amazing. Keeps me hooked.

I feel it has much potential. I admire the author’s talent, it’s well written besides the minor spelling and grammatical errors. This story needs more fans, I really find it brilliant, but the author needs to pick up her updating. That’s how you lose readers in my experience. So needs to be update more, grammar, spelling worked on and pick up pacing just slightly.

Overall I found this a story has much talent. The author is great at description and portraying her character’s emotion. I was very much impressed by the first chapter, but slowly felt disappointed with the rest of the story, so I hope the author gets back to what she was doing in the first chapter. The story and emotion just felt so more real and raw in that chapter. The author has amazing talent so why I will be holding her in high expectations. Give this story a read; it’s one to get into while you don’t have to catch up much.

Ten Years Later




I love this story. I enjoyed it and think it’s very cute. Any girl should be able to relate this even a little. If you want a love triangle romance… this is the story for you. the author does a very good job and delivering this story. Very good descriptions along with letting her readers feel the emotions her characters feel. I applaud the author’s natural talent.

The negatives, the spelling and grammar needs work. Edit before you update because you will be too busy writing the next chapter to go back and edit the last. Trust me I learned that from experience.  

This story reminds me way too much of the movie, Sweet Home Alabama. I won’t ever accuse of it being a rip-off because sometimes it’s coincidence. The author can make this into her own story. Other than that it’s a great story and to the author, get a little more confidence…

No need to be asking your readers if it’s good or bad all the time. They will review their honest opinion and when they do fix your errors, don’t delete a story because everything you write can have potential. This author has a talent to write romances, so I will be looking forward to more from her.

Fifteen Letters




Phenomenal. Not what I suspected. I thought this would be a sappy romance about 'fifteen love letters". Nope. I love how this is said to be a true story. So well done, so amazing every word fits so perfectly. I applaud the author for putting this out in the world. The emotion is raw. It squeezes your heart tight and releases it, every heart string feels a little pull. Sad, intense and touching is how I can describe it.

I hate to judge, but it seems to be something petty to kill yourself over someone rejecting you because they think you're gay. What I’m presuming, the plot has yet to unfold and I hope there’s a lot more to this true story. I won’t judge, pain is pain and I admire the writer for putting this out there.

No negative, the author is very talented, but I wish it wouldn’t be so repetitive. Yes, a little bit. Repeating fifteen letters over again and reliving that painful memory is a great fill and really brings the story together, but let’s step-up the pacing. I really enjoy this story and I want to see it become a renowned true story.

That in of itself makes it even more breath taking. Leaves you in a cold sweat that I love to feel when reading a story. I personally don’t like the ABC Family cast choices, but it’s cute and works I suppose. Overall this is a great story I will recommend for it has potential if it goes the way I hope it does. I know it’s hard since the author will want to stick with what really happened, but how the author delivers these events is what I hope will impress me and other readers. 

Regrets




This story is delivered well in a way… I love the author’s style and natural talent, but the spelling, grammar and organization needs a lot of work. The chapters need some major editing. It’s not professional, but at least the author has talent. The summary hooked me in, even though it also was not well written.

I can say I like this story. It has peeked my interest and I think it has a good plot to it, even if it’s too early to tell. I feel potential. That’s the good thing at least, seeing the author grow. I want to see the author get better. She already has talent, now I want to see effort and discipline.

All in all this is a hard review to do because the little I can say is: The author has talent for a plot, but grammar is awful. If you’re looking for a spooky summer adventure, I believe this is the story for you.

I ask for author’s to at least give me three chapters to read, not only does this story only have two chapters, but they are extremely short chapters. The author has huge potential, please keep working hard I want to see you become a great writer. 

Love Online




Without a doubt this story keeps you guessing. That’s why it’s great. Everything is up to par. A few spelling and grammatical errors, but nothing of huge notice. It was actually impressive. Delivered well and I’m a sucker for internet relationship romances, so I’m definitely hooked. For as many times as this type of romance has been done, this story seems quite original.

The negative is the consistency of chapters. I don’t care if you do two pages or if you do five, just keep each chapter the same length if you can. Doesn’t have to be exact, but don’t make one chapter extremely short and the next extremely long, it will begin to annoy readers.

The author switches from different perspectives quite good, also being in third person I find it impressive how the author keeps it clean and clear. I love the quotes the author decides to put at the beginning of the story. It’s a nice creative touch that puts readers in the mood to read that chapter.

Overall I like this story, I look forward to how the plot will unfold. I’d like to see pacing pick up— or make chapters longer. The story is already in the fourth chapter and the plot hasn’t really gone anywhere. Other than that, if you want an internet romance as much as I do… This is the story for you.

Fiction





Beautifully written. The style the author has is so poetic. I love that; every word in every sentence is perfectly delivered. The emotion, the passion. The plot all seems so addicting and wonderful to see how the life of Daniel, an aspiring writer will work out.

The other thing I love about the author’s style is he truly transfers my mind back to the Victorian England era. I can imagine every detail and I appreciate that, how the author has the talent to bring this story to life. It all seems so real.

What I’d like to see is more effort with updates and organizing it all better. I know the author is still early on in the story, but before you upload chapters be sure to get them organized and keep them the way you want them to be. That’s the only main negative I find.

Other than that, this is an enchanting story I will be looking forward to reading more of. And to find out if the author has more talent in writing other than the style, but in plot. We will see, in any case I recommend this story to anyone looking for an enchanting fantasy that brings you away from reality for at least a little while.

Starstruck On Tuesday




The title isn’t the only thing catchy about this short story. Without a doubt this author is amazingly talented. A great gift for writing that it’s truly admirable. This short story may have not had a real plot to it, but the writing style alone kept me hooked. It is delivered so well that I couldn’t find a thing really wrong with it. For a first written work, it’s amazing.

I’d personally like to see this author do something more. A real novel or a short story filled with a thicker plot. I hate seeing so much talent going to waste. The spelling, grammar, pacing and the way it was delivered all seem to check out to be done so professionally.

At first I didn’t feel like reading a short story, I want to see an author putting all their effort into one piece of work. At least if it’s a short story, I want to see it filled with a good, thick plot. I didn’t find that in this story, but I found a talented author. That I hope I would see published one day… if that is his desire. I hope so. Sad seeing talent wasted. 

Caravan




This is a great fantasy web-comic. I recommend to all. I love the plot and the author’s style. The characters stay in character very well. This comic is most impressive for its plot and the updates the author does. That’s appreciated, and again, impressive dedication. Updates five days a week! Although, taking notice of comics that update less…

Their art is better. Why? Probably because they take their days of not updating to practice drawing. This comic will go far. I can honestly say that, but if the author don’t buckle down and get better at their illustration I don’t believe she will find a publisher. Story is to perfection.

Art needs work along with organizing speech balloons. It sometimes was confusing. Even though this has a lot of originality to it, which I love… It reminds me of the TV series, Avatar: The last Airbender. Without a doubt you can say the author was inspired by that series. I can add though at least it wasn’t a huge influence where it shows through glaringly obviously.  

We’re still early on in this web-comic series, and I hope to see more of Caravan. If it is dropped I will be disappointed. I doubt it will be. I see a lot of effort and I will expect nothing less than that. I applaud this comic. Looking forward to the unfolding plot and the author’s growth as a writer and artist.
