I'm not into the supernatural genre, but you tell a good story. Your descriptions are compelling and your dialog, realistic. Your notes show how well thought out this project is. Cheers- Joan

    Thank you, but.why did you read the one for two cents when you could have gotten $1.20 for the one that's posted?

I am totally stunned by your writing talents. Never have I seen such imagination as this. It is not the type of story that would usually pull me in, but I was fascinated and could not stop reading until I reached the end. You are amazing, amahra! Your prose is so beautifully constructed, your dialogue so real. I am truly impressed. Warm Regards, Wendy.

    Wendy, something strange just happened. Your review just disappeared. I contacted Tom to see what happened. I'll check my post again to see if it there.

This looks like fun. I like the narrative in this prologue. It explains everything and sets everything up for the story to follow. I can't wait to read more.

    I really don't like reading prologues, and I tried not to write one, but the back story was just too long to keep weaving it in and out of my story. Thank you for reading and liking it.

Amahra - fantastically creative. I love it. I love the descriptions throughout the story. Specially, her eyes rolling back like small boiled eyes..what a sight to imagine. I am def looking forward to future writings on this.

This Supernatural Fiction piece is well written. It grabs the readers attention quickly. I like the idea that their protector is a spider which is a the whole tale behind the web in the Dream Catchers of Native Americans. The descriptive language was definitely a big plus to making this so easy to see in our minds! Great for a prologue!

A very sinister tale indeed. A great set-up chapter for what's to come. You do a good job explaining that real witchcraft shouldn't be evil, but supportive of Mother Nature. I look forward to reading more.

Long and involved with many names and places to remember... maybe too much? You've clearly identified the villain and hinted at the coming trouble in store for the Covenant from Corina and her gang. History complete up to the 21st century... so... now what evil plans does she have? Mwahahaaaa..... :)


and named it, New Berwick. << Remove comma.

They named it, Falcon Haven << Remove comma.

pot that lingered a few inches off the floor in mid-air << Remove "in mid-air" since that's several feet off the floor, and you said "a few inches off the floor" here.. it can't be both.

I think this story has so much potential, and I cannot wait to read more of it!

I feel like it could be better! I loved the setting and the storyline, but want more out of the prologue! It felt too much like a summary. If you change up the structure I feel like it would flow nicer, and would keep my attention. For example start the prologue off with dialogue, (maybe the trial) and then give the readers more information.

It was an awesome prologue overall. I loved the scene where her ex slices his own throat - added just a touch of creepiness.

This is a good chapter. When I read the words I can see an image in my mind. I like how the story is going. Good for the author's note. I do like the picture that goes among with the first chapter.

Hi. This is a good read. That bad one, she is some scary. Slitting his own throat, now that is some bad blood, and no one could finger her. I guess she is going to make a real mess of things before this story plays out.
