Score: 40/40 (no dialogue) 

Review: The writing style is amazing and poetic. Lovely book.


4) I am no one but a nameless soul here - jgrace2197

Score: 47/50

Review: The cover and blurb could use a little work, but the introduction was compelling and hooked us from the start. 


5) They Know me - MaddieBrinn

Score: 47/50

Review: Very good! It makes for a very exciting read with a beautiful fantastic cover and title.


6) Bush Baby - daweirdnigerianB

Score: 44/50 

Review: While the summary of the book and the dialogues between characters could use some work, the book has nice grammar and a decently interesting intro.


7) Fragments of Fate - sarah3534

Score: 41/50

Review: The blurb and cover use some work to capture the attention of readers, and the intro could be a little more interesting to hook the readers, but overall a good start to a book.


8)The Hash Marked Girl - OkMeghan

Score: 41/50

Review: The dialogues can be made more crisp and relatable, and the diction can be improved. But with near-perfect grammar, it is a good read and one where we're interested to see what happens!


9) The Call of Death - _sab_che_

Score: 40/50

Review: The blurb and diction could use some improvement, and the characters can be made more realistic and descriptive. But, the introduction was written well and with good grammar.


10) Psychic Detective Team - frappucchinocafe

Score: 38.5/50

Review: Thrilling story with an amazing hook and cover.


11) An Eye for an eye - TheSADRiter

Score: 38/50

Review: The intro is really eye-catching but as you read more of it the story becomes somewhat generic and can be spiced up and changed to provide more authenticity.


12) Almost Gone - sky_is_limit

Score: 37/50

Review: We feel that the characters and their dialogues could use more work but it was overall a good start to the story, with great grammar and diction.


And that's it!

We're trying our best to hurriedly post the remaining results as well, so have a little patience please! *wipes the sweat off forehead*

Congrats to all the selected entries! Get ready for Round 2!
