《Salty Book Review》Review #4
Advertisement
You asked for a brutally honest review so I'll be telling you what I think as raw and real as I can. If you don't like this, then feel free to message me.
The title sounds like every cheesy novel I've come across on this app, and the cover didn't help. Maybe brainstorm different ideas. "The misfortune of Daisy Grey" looks eye-catching. I guess the font for the title is good.
5/10
As far as genres go, at least you can say that you chose the right one.
5/10
The summary was, in my opinion, longer than necessary. This can and will push the readers away from your book whether the cover looks spicy or plain. A summary is everything in the book put in short. It keeps the readers guessing and longing for more. I honestly didn't even read it all because of how tiring it looks.
0/10
I couldn't even get to the second page without dozing off. I also have to keep checking your book to even remember your lead character's name.
0/10
Because I stopped at the first page, excluding the copyright part, I didn't see a shift in anyone's personality/mindset. I won't rate you on this.
N/A
I think that you have the potential to write an amazing page-turner, but the issue that makes people stop reading instantly, is the constant telling rather than showing. Show us her getting ready without going into detail.
E.g: "She walks to the door and she walks through it." That's telling.
"Her feet carry her to the exit and when she arrives at the closed door, she raises her right hand. Wrapping her fingers around the knob, she twists it then she pulls it towards her until the door cracks open." That's showing.
Also, you're redundant when it comes to telling us that she's clumsy. That can be shown throughout the story but if you insist on telling us, keep it short. You also unrealistically showed the reader your character's appearance. Tell me, have you ever looked in the mirror and went, "Ugh, my dark brown hair is so boring. Look at that awkward strand curling like I slept with one roller in my hair. My eyes aren't even that appealing either. Who wants light brown eyes just as enchanting as honey?"

It's okay to have an average-looking character. Name ten people that aren't models with natural bold red hair and eyes the color of a jewel.
4/10
Until you improve on the first few pages, I honestly doubt that I'll be able to enjoy this book. Keep in mind that the first three to five pages should be excellently written to hook the reader in.
4/10
You only asked for one so this part will be pretty short.
(Is it realistic) You wanted to know how realistic the plot is and from what I've seen thus far, I can proudly say that it is. I could see everything happening during the flashbacks but outside of that, I couldn't visualize anything.
Thank you for sending me your book! I look forward to reading another one of your works, and recommend me to your friends if you're pleased with this review.

She Is My Alpha | Good Boy x Bad Girl |✔️
❝She kills without second thought.❞•Micajah's PoV: "Ah!" I shout out in pain, unable to hold it in any longer. I clutch my hand to my injured leg and cry out desperately when another blow is landed to my other leg. Tears of pain gather in the corners of my eyes, and I curl into a ball of humiliation, trying to shield myself from the bullies."You worthless piece of shit," He says menacingly, his muddy brown eyes set in a hard glare aimed at me. I flinch when I see Chance pulling back his fist, raising my arms in defense. But to my utter surprise, the blow never comes.Instead, a sickening 'crunch' resonates through the hallway, surprising me. I tentatively open my eyes once again, cautiously peeking from behind raised arms. What- or more correctly who I see takes my breath away, every fiber of my being stirring at the incandescent sight.There, standing there like an avenging angel over the groaning body of Chance in the floor is a girl. But 'girl' would be too simple of a word to describe her. Her red hair flows down in luscious curls, framing her heart-shaped face, which is set in a furious scowl. Her feline eyes are a stormy grey, the electricity in them, static. Her sharp, straight nose accenting her full pink lips that are shaped like a cupid's bow with such a perfection, giving her an ethereal look. No, the person before me is not a girl. She's a Goddess.The jocks bow their heads in submission, murmurs of "Alpha," passing around the group. My Wolf gets agitated and keeps on saying something but I ignore his persistent calls, as my fogged brain is unable to register anything except the exotic beauty standing before me.Her steel grey eyes roam around the circle in one swift movement before they settle on me, darkening, yet instantly softening at the same time. Finally, her pink lips part to let one word escape them, the one word that changes my life."Mine,"•Completed ✔️MICAJAH IS A GUY's NAME #5 in WEREWOLF#1 in TEEN FICTION
