The Different Mixtures
Total score: 4/5
Author: Shaunatay

Your blurb was an easy, intriguing read - a definite hook. The only thing I could suggest is improving the flow, and making a minor edit between the part where you quote Archer's dad and the above section, to signify a difference. Any divider, from text art to a simple "***". Apart from that, you have a great one! :D

UNENDING
Total score: 3.9/5
Author: Akasayana

While your blurb was an exceptional and neat read, the choice of words was a bit confusing. I suggest that you make it a bit clearer that Sean and Ibanez are signing up to be idol singers and dancers, because it took me, personally, a bit of time to figure that out. Maybe specify that idol, so that it becomes more crystal. Apart from that, your blurb was short and interesting :D A definite awesome from me!

Little Secrets
Total score: 2/5
Author: ghostiemalone

Your blurb, consisting of just four one-liners, was a great hook. However, I suggest you improve the flow and compile it into a single paragraph for a bit more clarity :D I'd also suggest re-phrasing a bit of it to improve the voice from passive to active. For instance, how about: "Someone is killing all the A-listing girls at Thorne Academy, with no discernible pattern"? Apart from being in active voice, it also compiles the first to sentences of your blurb into a single one. However, what you've written is great too :D

Let's Plan My Murder
Total score: 4.9/5
Author: ShwetaKumari426

Your blurb is amazing. It's short and intriguing - perfect. I just have to, very minor qualms. In the first sentence, I'd suggest you write "Like is a thirsty hell, and the people in it are monsters," i.e. add the 'the' in between. And, when arriving at the part about Nick, I'd suggest you rewrite it as "But then she meets Noah," or perhaps "But then she meets him: Noah," for more of the dramatic flair. However, I didn't cut points for that last bit because it's a very minor point about punctuation :P

The Diary of My Heart
Total score: 2/5
Author: Queen_bee_Mariam

I like the way your blurb was very heartfelt and open, displaying the genre and style of the book. If anything, I'd suggest you improve the flow a bit. The only punctuation mistake I noticed was the issue with the eclipse. In general, you wrote "........." or such. Ellipses consist of just three dots, written as ". . ." or "...". I'd suggest remedying that – but apart from that, nothing was amiss~ :P

The Love of Ice and Fire
Total score: 3/5
Author: starandsunshine16

I think your blurb sums up the emotions in you very well, though I'd recommend making it more concise, so that your readers get an idea of the plot and hook. I'd also suggest improving the flow, to make it a smoother read. Your blurb has a lot of potential, so keep it up! :D

Esoteric Beacon
Total score: 3.1/5
Author: yaris052018

Personally, I loved your blurb due to its intrigue, but I did find some issues in there. Being much longer than average, the blurb can become a tedious read for some readers, and the emojis in between can make it a bit of a cut-through. I'd also suggest making your punctuation more formal, i.e. removing things like "?!" and "??". Apart from that, I think your blurb was awesome :D

Saviour of Never Ending Happiness
Total score: 1/5
Author: dwarkaratna

I think your blurb, though nice, has a lot of potential. The language used is passive - for instance, when you write, "With problems the cycle of life brings ample opportunities at it's each turn". I also spotted a lot of punctuation issues, and and some typos - like "nd" instead of "and". Apart from that, I never got the gist of what your story was about, apart from the fact that, in the problem, divine intervention was not possible. I'd suggest rewriting the entire blurb, or proofreading it to make it more concise and intriguing.

HIS QUEEN
Total score: 1/5
Author: Siya_Stark3000

While reading your blurb, I found many issues, especially with the punctuation. To fix that, I'd suggest running it through a checking software, and taking care of which letters are written with caps lock and which aren't. I'd also suggest making your blurb more concise - maybe by removing the number of quotes in it and writing more content related to the story itself.
