1st Places (a tie):

A Dangerous Case by LeInkPen

Score: 95/100

Review: Nice cover, reflects the story well. Good blurb and title. As for the story, very well written. I love the author's writing style. The use of language is very good. Grammatical errors were rare. And nice characterisation. I can see how Hyde and Jekyll are different. And each chapter is intriguing and encourages the reader to go on. Very well done!

In The Vale of No Return by  YoungOrator

Score: 95/100

To start with, decent cover and well-written blurb; intriguing and captures readers' attention. As for the story, it is flawless in terms of use of language and writing style. The plot has a smooth flow and development. And the characterisation of the characters is simply perfect. There is not really much to critique the story, awesome work!

2nd Places (a tie):

Shooting Star by twilightbreeze- 

Score: 90/100

Review: The cover is perfect! The cover and blurb are good as well, though the blurb was a bit long but still intriguing. I know the information before the story was put to facilitate the reading for the readers but I found it too much for me to remember anything out of it. As I read the story, it was easier for me to understand the plot anyway as the author has good worldbuilding skills. The author has equally great writing skills, especially when it comes to the descriptions. The use of language and grammar are good as well, errors are rare. And the plot flows well. Good work!

Opportunism by bookk_wormm_ 

 Score: 90/100

Review: The start of the story does not seem to be similar to what I expected from the blurb and title, which are both good though. But aside from that, I love the story so far. Good characterisation of the characters and good development of the plot. Grammar errors were a bit rare but I noticed a constant switch between verb tenses, which should be reviewed. The author has a nice writing style and can engage the reader. It was a pleasure reading this book.

3rd Place:

 Golden TRagEDY  by maryam_manasyan 

Score: 87.5/100

Review: To start with, I'd say the cover and blurb do not really have a significant impact on the reader. The cover is more of aesthetic pictures while not much effort was versed into the construction of the blurb. But as I started reading the story, I grew to like it, even though I haven't read much of the Harry Potter books. The author has a great writing style. There were only some lacking punctuations where it concerns dialogues and one or two misspelt words. Aside from that, it was a fun and enjoyable read. The story engages the reader into the story and develops nicely. Well done!

Runners-up:

4. Fates Divided by rainbow_dragon02

Score: 87/100

Review: Nice title and very good blurb, which gives a good insight into the story. Decent cover. As for the story, the author mentions it being a multiverse crossover but well done on the plot. The author is able to create a plot and world of her own, with great writing and descriptive skills, though I noticed some lack of commas, misspellings and lack of capitalisation. But otherwise, the story has a very good progression and flow. Good work!

5. What Comes After by KingEmpo 

Score: 85/100

Review: Very nice cover. As for the blurb, it's well constructed, though it's better placed outside. Very few readers would check inside as it's the cover and blurb below that have the first impression. And I loved the first chapter and felt the type of what was going to happen. The plot was very intriguing and it was enhanced by the author's writing skills. There were some minor errors related to punctuation, misspellings, and verb tense changes. I'd also suggest avoiding the repetition of filler words or other words. And though the plot is good, I wish the author would go in more detail on the characters' emotional characterisation and description. But otherwise, great job!
