Judges for round two:
HoneyItsBlue

1. Heart's Desire by Anittaann

Overall: 48/50

When I looked at your cover it seemed fitting for your story but I'd recommend changing your font. I immediately got into your story it was very interesting and a great read :)

1. Until we Meet Again by Yugana_Penrozu

Total - 48/50

Review: Simple yet beautiful. The concept is simple yet the way it is delivered to the readers, it' s heart wrenching.

3. A Butler to Love by ArielMasters

Overall: 46/50

Loved this story, had very unique characters but would have loved to see a bit more description other then that it was great! Your cover even matched the story along with your plot :)

3. Guarding Angel by ScarlettBlackDaisy

Total - 46/50

Review: The plot is intriguing. The characters are well written and the scenes are perfecting described. Overall the story has potential in it.

5. The Abreaction of Us by SevdimOldum

Overall: 45/50

Was a bit boring in the beginning but got a bit better as I read on. Grammar was ok along with plot. But I think you can find a much better cover for that story :)

5. Wickedly Yours by @queen_of_sass

Total: 45/50

Notes For Author: I loved this work. The cover is eye catching, the description interesting, and the tone of your writing sophisticated yet genre-appropriate. There were a few grammar issues, with strange things being italicised and the incorrect usage of certain words. ("Unpassionate" is not a word; it's "dispassionate". If you italicise the importance of a word, it must always be correct and have an impact.) The structure of the sentences and the way the story is told, though, makes it a compelling one. I would read this novel, and after this competition, I certainly will. Best of luck to this author in future competitions!

6. Beyond Love by Mila_333

Overall: 44/50

Really enjoyed it would like to have seen a bit more description of your characters but other then that it was good. Besides a few spelling errors.

7. Broken by simran7239

Total - 43.5/50

Review: The characters emotions are not quite matching with the situation sometimes. It' s a little bit confusing at some places regarding their emotions. Overall, it is quite eye catching.

8. My Guiding Star by Umacdnathan

Overall: 43/50

The story was amazing. Would have liked to see more description of the story. Loved the cover, it matched the story you where telling. Your grammar was ok.

9. Color Me Blue by -aestheticallyblue

Overall: 42/50

Your story was very interesting. Grammar was ok had a few mistakes. Loved your plot for the story but again I saw a few grammar errors.

9. For His Sake by lily97000

Total - 42/50

Review: The story is good and the plot is quite interesting. Description is Well. Romance and comedy at it' s fullest. Overall the book is pretty good.

9. Tainted Perfection by WhiteCoconut23

Notes For Author: This isn't what I expected to find in the Romance category, but in a good way. Everything from the title to the summary to the character development is original, mind-catching, and on point. My only criticism is that although it's a coming of age story and it's right for the character to feel somewhat immature, the tone of the narration should not. I'd like to see a bit more sophistication in the sentence structure and world-building. However, this is excellent work!

Total: 42/50

9. The House Guest by Purplejeans

Total - 42/50

Review: Interesting plot. The descriptions are well written.

13. FADED by haychoi

Notes For Author: I felt like this book tried to tug at its readers' heartstrings, but instead, presented like a scene from a soap opera. True drama and poignance comes from dialogue that's realistic, and from the feelings that are inherently found in the small subtle moments. Someone screaming as they see someone dying in the hospital is not poignant, it's melodrama. Additionally, there are a number of grammar issues. It's not necessary to tell your reader things in parentheticals, like what an IV is. The plot, however, captures the imagination and is a page turner. The title is attention-grabbing!
