Great review! It's obvious how much you enjoyed this despite its lower rating and editing issues. I think I'll leave this for now, at least until it has been given some thorough proofreading.

Mm, yeah. There's a lot of potential but it's obfuscated by the editing. I'd advise waiting.

It sounds like an interesting premise that forgot its writer! Maybe the author will take your advice and make it into a graphic novel or get an editor. Thanks for a funny, interesting review!

Thanks and yes! I hope he does that because this works so well as a visual story.

I'm so glad that you were able to enjoy this book in spite of its many flaws. Your review certainly justified your rating, and was also informative and engaging. Thank you for emphasizing the level of gruesomeness (is that a word?) and just how graphic some of the scenes were. I can only hope that it is further edited so that the book will appeal to readers as it did to you. Great review!

Thank you and yes! There was a lot of it so I felt a warning was necessary.

I usually can stand gore, but not atrocious editing! LOL!

I hope Henry takes your comments to heart to keep these witches from oblivion.

Yeah. The gore actually works for it but the editing is what made me pause. It's a shame because Henry is quite imaginative.

Agreed. It almost did for me, but thankfully I was too invested in what was happening to Cadence to let it.

The cover is why I picked it, so I quite agree.

Two highly corrupted witches and the other degenerating into something less than human? This is a plot I have not come across anywhere else. Pity about the flaws. The plot held so much promise. Wonderfully written review!

Thank you, and it did. I hope the author does much better for the next book.
