To have so much potential and go so far off base is truly sad. I'm also not sure how you could fit erotic scenes into this type of book and have it make sense. The myriad of errors was the final deciding factor for me, though. I'll be passing on this one. Thanks for the honest review!

The themes didn't really mesh well together at all. It would have been better to stick with the horror genre I think. Thanks for your comment!

It's a shame about the flaws, I hope it can be improved on. Thanks for reading

Just shows you can't judge a book by its cover. Thank you!

Hopefully the author gets some help from an editor as the plot has some potential. Thanks for the thorough and honest review!

After reading your descriptive review, it's easy to understand the book's rating. It always bums me out when the characters of a story are so flat, the reader is indifferent to their fate, you know?
Plus, for such a short book to have many sex scenes, where's the time for the plot?
Anyway, thanks for such a thorough review!

This book should have been condensed into one, and more depth ascribed to the characters. I found similar books as I browse in the review list, but I right away turn it on back as I shun giving a book a rating of 1 out of 4 stars. So, it better be that I don't get involved with it at all.

It would be good if an editor gave this a once over. Thanks for reading and commenting

I enjoyed your description of the storyline. This could be developed into an intriguing novel. I agree that it is irritating when you find so many errors! Great review.

Thanks for reading! With so many errors it makes it difficult to be fully immersed in the story.

Oh my goodness! Reading this would bring me to tears. I don't have the strength for so much distractions when reading. Nonetheless, the storyline has potentials. The author just needs to work on the book. Great review.

It definitely took some strength! I'm really stubborn when it comes to finishing books though. I hate leaving them unfinished, however challenging they are. Thanks for reading!

An interesting plot, but it is unfortunate that the author did not shape the story better. Also, the characters could have been much better developed.
