Black Wedding Dress by 0liviaRose436

Total: 97/100

Review: This is an amazing story. I can't for the life of me understand why it has fewer reads. Everything was to the point. I couldn't find an error, no matter how hard I tried. There is just one thing, the blurb doesn't do justice to your story. I expected something else when I read the blurb and you don't want that. I think this story can be better promoted as a short story but it's your work and if you think it works better as a novel; you go. Skilled work overall.

SECOND PLACE:

On the Tracks by Novel_bae

Title: 5/5 | Cover: 5/5 | Blurb: 9.5/10 | Grammar: 15/15 | Plot: 14/15 | Writing Style and Flow: 9/10 | Creativity and originality: 14/15 | Character Development-14.5/15 | Enjoyment: 8/10 

Total: 94/100

Review: I like that you have switched up the cliche. I like the way your story started but somewhere along the way it feels flat. Try changing the pace of your story a little, especially in the beginning. I like how you have the bond between your MC and Gwen. I like your book.

SECOND PLACE:

Escaping the Past by ashtenrenee

Title: 4/5 | Cover: 4/5 | Blurb:10/10 | Grammar: 15/15 | Plot: 14/15 | Writing Style and Flow: 9/10 | Creativity and originality: 14.5/15 | Character Development-14.5/15 | Enjoyment: 9/10 

Total: 94/100

Review: The title is very cliche, but it attracts the readers so that's a plus point. You should try changing your cover because the name of your novel is not visible and the major focus goes to the sticker which is not right. I liked the idea and thought of your book but I feel you have done a lot of telling in the prologue itself rather than showing and it can get monotonous for a reader. You want to keep a reader reading and telling so much about the past of your character in the prologue and the first chapter won't keep your reader hooked. Well done with the male main character. Overall, it's a worthy read.
