The Chilling Corner


Book

Sniggerless Boundulations by Morgan Bell

3 out of 5 stars

I received a free digital copy from storycartel in exchange for a review.

This book is a collection of short stories that expressed life lessons and observations. My favorite stories were "The Dermoid Cyst" and "The Package". The endings for some stories were thought-provoking. For some stories, I had difficulty determining the point and felt those stories needed development. Overall, some of the stories were engaging and some were not, but the collection had a nice variety of stories.

The Chilling Corner

Book




 

The  Last Virgin Alive by Stephanie Crosby

2 out of 5 stars

I received a free digital copy from storycartel in exhange for a review.

This book had great voice, and the theme is good.

Belaboring of the character's points was too much and it slowed the pace at too many points in the book. I felt that her dialogue were repeated in different ways without moving forward. Some of the sentence structure was awkward, and I was distracted by the lack of needed punctuation and correct formatting.

This book has potential because the theme is good, people can relate to the character regarding self-image, and the ending was cute. With some polish, and more character development and setting, I believe the book can be incredible.
