A Review
My reviews are intended to be helpful and encouraging, not hurtful in any way. Use what you feel works for you, and leave the rest.
First Impression Well-written! Very impressive writing, Nixie. I especially liked the countdown from when the alarm would go off that Claire's father mentioned each time he spoke to her. There was a lot I was unsure of, but I figured they would be explained in future chapters since everything can't be exposed in the first.
I'm still curious about where the prompt fits in. You mention Claire is a mutation on her mother's ancestors' side. Mermaids? Or something similar?

I plucked at the fabric. My eyes moistened, unraveling my determination to mimic his uncaring attitude. I loved this visual!
