1st Places (a tie!):

"The Gazelle" by KaraCarreira

Score: 95/100

Review: It was a great read! The cover is creative and nice. And the title is quite relevant as the plot or the problem is all because of a gazelle! The author has perfect writing skills. The story was very engaging and lively. The descriptions enhanced the story, even more, bringing the scenes alive to the readers. There was no flaw in the use of language and grammar. The plot had a very nice flow and good characterisation of the characters. In terms of originality and creativity, the author does mention that it's a Rapunzel retelling, but it has its own unique and creative twist and scenario. The story gets more intriguing and interesting by each chapter. Will definitely read till the end!

"The Blood of The Covenant" by AMarsonCambridge 

Score: 95/100

Review: The title itself is very good and the cover seems to match the plot. The blurb is very well constructed and has an intriguing effect. And the author's writing style is perfect. The author possesses good diction. In terms of grammar and use of language, both are very good, no errors spotted. There is good world-building, though I wonder how this hero vs villain concept somehow forms the basis of this type of world. And I like the switch of perspectives between the two main characters, showing how both are living their lives while being separated. It enhances the mystery of their background; how they ended up like this. Good job!

2nd Place:

"Running from the Destiny" by Darkness181104 

Score: 92.5/100

Review: It's an amazing story! While it's not the most creative thing in the world, I do think that the idea is so beautiful! There wasn't a theme, but it's the perfect book to cozy up with in my blanket at night. I'm not sure what more to say about this story, other than that every aspect of this story was flat-out incredible.

3rd Places (another tie):

"Purple Blood" by Ririflower
