Stray Curls by Kels lemonteas

Grammar: 9

Cover: 8

Plot: 9

Total: 26/30

Praise:

lemonteas has crafted a new type of story, somewhere between a poem and a novel but in an entirely different category. The occasional single word paragraph or spaced out word adds to a unique style of writing. I've never seen emotion before but "Stray Curls" opened my eyes. So if you can't choose between a graceful poem or a page-turning novel, choose "Stray Curls." ~Felicia

A unique style. If stories could be sung, then "Stray Curls" would be one of the top hits. ~Randol

The Lies That Bind by DellaKitt

Grammar: 9

Cover: 9

Plot: 9

Total: 27/30

Praise:

At first glance, "The Lies That Bind" looks like your classic Romance story—but there's a twist. A simple contract for companionship with a simple rule: no personal questions. It is through this creative concept that introduces story of humor and wit, and it is this concept that sets the foundation of "The Lies That Bind." Looking for something addicting? Look no further! ~Felicia

Nicely written. It's good that you added the contract part into the story; that's what sets your novel apart from other books. ~Randol

Truth or Dare by juneaugxstus

Grammar: 9

Cover: 10

Plot: 9

Total: 28/30

juneaugxstus made me realize that "Truth or Dare" isn't just about the game or the entertainment—it's about the realization behind the words that constitute its title. And juneaugxstus has used this infamous game in the most creative way possible—bringing together eight strangers and gradually revealing bit by bit who they are. Each character has a distinguished personality that doesn't fit into your classic cliche equation, and juneaugxstus explores nearly all their thoughts through her omniscient point of view. "Truth or Dare" is a must read for anyone looking for something—quite literally—truthful or daring to read! ~Felicia

A fantastic novel. I wouldn't be surprised if it was turned into a Disney movie. ~Randol
