Rating Policy:
All my reviews are my own thoughts and opinions. Regardless of buying the book with my own money, receiving a discount or getting a free copy. I take pride in my reviews because I have shed blood, sweat and tears putting it together. Well, I definitely have shed tears and time (lots of time). I won’t lie, I tend to give a book a higher rating than what is probably called for (5 stars is just so exciting). I can’t help my emotions ok!
I review the book based on the following topics:
Writing: How well is the book written? Did the author pull me in from the beginning? Was there anything unique about the writing style?
Plot: Did the story make sense? Were there any gaps? How well did it flow (beginning to end)?
Romance: Was there romance? Was it forced? Was there a connection? Did it make sense?
Reading Level: Was the book easy to read? Understand? Did I have to go back and re-read to understand the plot?
Ending: Did the ending work? Were there story lines unfinished?
