Quite an interesting review,no relatable characters a confusing story line and enough gory and gore to put the faint hearted off. Thanks botd.

Black Magic, Deciet and wild imaginations, very diabolic in nature but the bite of eloquence of the writter can not be over emphasised. Congrats, Raging Falcon BOTD

Political thrillers are fascinating! I think this book has potential just needs a little work. Congrats on book of the day! Great review!

Sorry to hear that there were so many issues both with the actual wording as well as the characters and plot. Sounds like a book that could have been good but needs some major reworking.

Based on the first paragraph of the review I thought this sounded like a book I'd love! But too many (unlikeable) characters and grammatical errors are two of my biggest pet peeves so I'll have to pass on this one. Thanks for the review!

Thanks for the honest review. This book really sounded like it had a lot of potential, but read all the issues is truly a let down. Hopefully the author will take the time to go back and make a better novel with the next.

Latest Review: "Escape" by Belle Ami

Post by sztjane »

Thank you for a great honest review Rachaelamb1. It has a great plot a son tells a story of his innocence of murder and how his father with the help of black magic took over control of the world basically but it is too confusing of read, also scenes of rapes turn me off.
Though you think BOTD would chosen a positive review.

I agree with the one star that you gave this book. In your description of the novel, it was more of a rant against an abusive father or a political conspiracy book. I do not think that the genre of young adult or dystopian fiction is the right category for this book. I think that the major problem for this author was a lack of quality editing. If the story had been edited correctly it could have turned out well and been more enjoyable for readers. I also believe that the author had too many ideas that he wanted to put forward.

That was a very honest review. The strong language and violence doesn't bother me, but I agree that this book definitely shouldn't be part of the young adult category. It's a shame about all the grammatical errors as well. I'm sure that once the errors are cleared up and this book is advertised more accurately, it would be better.

The name of the novel looks so inviting for one to read but i cant read a book that will confuse me at the end of the day.

At first I got captivated by the tittle but so bad to have errors in the book. This review has made crucial points that the author needs to work on
