So, Lyds is quite tired, so she'll be PM-ing your stickers shortly! It'd be very helpful if you could message her, Jells_, with the genre and place that you won. Thank you! Also, please make sure to thank the judges. Even though some didn't submit, the one's who did really saved her a lot of time. Finally, Merry Christmas to you all!! - Mareah

In first place is Sugar Baby by booklored with a score of 58/60!

Review: Where do I evenstart? First off, brilliant plot. The storyline and pacing are just right—nottoo abrupt or dragging. The characters are all mesmerizing and I'm so intriguedby Xavier and Grayson, totally rooting for them! Toxicity seems to have animportant role in this story, but I do think that while it acts as a deal-breaker in many other books, this is not the case. I love how you oftendescribe characters and incidents without explicit tellings (not to mention theflawless grammar). One thing I would critique is the punctuation mistakes whenit comes to dialogue tags. But other than that, I really didn't find a singleproblem with this book. Overall, the mystery and romance elements blend so welltogether that I couldn't stop myself from flipping the pages. Kudos to you,author! - softyhartz

In second place is No Exit from Deception by Gossiplanet with a score of 52/60!

Review: I love the dynamicsbetween Joseph and Ruby. I find Joseph's character attractive, hispersonalities are shown subtly through his actions and thoughts. There are someplaces where the punctuations could be changed, but overall, the grammar issuperb and sentences flow well. I look forward to the development between thetwo MCs. - softyhartz

In third place is Sushi and Sea Lions by rcorsini with a score of 51/60!

Review: you did a marvelous job with the blurb, and it genuinely brings the reader in and sets the mood for the story. your descriptions were lovely, and they really brought together why she loved dancing along with the pain that comes when she learns that she may not have the chance to do it ever again. the dynamic set up between vinny and his wife has a lot of potential, and the foreshadowing put in place helps move the plot forward without having such fast pacing. there were a few spelling and grammar errors that can easily be fixed, but for the most part, it was good. i'm going to be honest, i have no idea how the title relates to the book, but i might just not have read enough as i only had three chapters to go off of. overall, i really like the story and what you have going for it. i hope that i get to finish it later! ~ lyds

Congrats to all the winners! And again, Merry Christmas! I hope you all have a lovely rest of the year. :)
