Ghost Hunting [18+] Nothing seems amiss...just empty sets of glass panes, no faces staring back at me |
SURPRISE! ~ Schnujo's Doing NaNoWriMo? ~ ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** Here's some (definitely) sincere and (hopefully) constructive feedback on "Ghost Hunting" with heartfelt gratitude from "WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group" Wow! What a "modern" ghost story! I like how technologically savvy your main character is. This is my first time reading about someone who employs the use of phone apps in order to communicate with "the other side". Ouija boards are so last century — thanks for the memo! The pacing and development of the story are good even though this isn't the nerve-wrecking, spine-tingling kind of spooky tale one would normally expect. The vague-ish one-word answers coming from the invisible realm and Angela's responses to them were most engaging. Hmmm . . . I'm afraid the ending was really anti-climatic. The relationship between Angela's paranormal adventures and owning a new phone and joining the track team was completely lost on me. There seems to be a huge disconnect between the last paragraph and the rest of the story. What a shame — I enjoyed the story until I came to the end. Uh-oh! The last line in Paragraph 3 reads: And I stand. Somehow, "And" doesn't feel like the right connector between the possibly bogus paranormal apps in the previous sentence and the character's decision to remain standing. To me, it sorta reads funny . . . maybe you might want to look into that. I think the tagline would work better if you shortened it. Leaving more to the imagination creates more suspense! Perhaps consider: Nothing seems amiss until . . . Thanks for the read — Happy Writing! ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** Just because fine print is cool: [ The above review is only my 2 cents' worth — none of which was meant to be discouraging. Seriously. ] My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
