@daisy-torres

Ooo, I LOVE this!!! ❤ It was funny in the beginning and really intense at the end, which I love! And I like Tessa’s character, and of course, the antique roadshow guy. Overall, it was really well written and I can’t wait to read the next chapter!! (which might be awhile because I’m pretty busy today, so….) Thanks for sha…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

Ooo, fun idea!! Let’s see… None of my characters in Lioness are very fun/nice/not-scarred (heh heh 😬), so I’d probably be someone from As Dark As Mist and Shadow. I think I’d be Murin, because she’s an awesome spy with an awesome sidekick who lives in an awesome place with an awesome attitude. And she rides horses all the ti…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Congrats!!

Well, I’m still trying to balance two writing projects, as well as alpha-reading for Kayleigh. My entire grade at my school got sent home because of a COVID case, so I have plenty of time on my hands now, lol!! I’m not very far into either of my WIPs (about two chapters each), but since I have the time, I’ll p…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver

Hey Em!! I loved your story!! Sooo good!! I don’t really have many critiques, just watch out for some repetitive words. And maybe give Celeste a stronger goal/personality trait? I felt like I was reading from Melia’s POV a lot of the time (which wasn’t necessarily a bad thing 😉) cause Celeste isn’t a bold character. I say this…[Read more]
