Once more I have to be the grammar police here, this book is riddled with grammatical and spacing errors.

I don’t say any of this to mean, my first novel was riddled with problems and it took a very patient editor and 16 drafts to fix it as much as possible. Also as is the case with self-published books if you don’t have an editor or at least someone to bounce ideas off and receive feedback, you can write a story that you enjoy but not many other people will. I think Tina has some good ideas and comes up with some interesting characters in this book, the huge problem is the story, dialog and the names. Tina was nice enough to read and review my book earlier this year and I started to read hers many months ago, it took me this long to finish it.

I don’t want to hurt her feelings as it’s happened to me but I’m not sure how else to be helpful without being honest. Sadly I have to start this review the way I did one for another self-published book I read earlier this year, if Tina read this I guess we’ll have things to discuss. I like to keep abreast of vampire fiction as much as I can and since Tina is also from Newfoundland, I was especially curious to see what she had written. Don’t have a Kindle?
