Yikes! As you can tell from other reviews this game is rough. Characters are all intriguing and I fell in love with Renee and Lala personally. Yet... I was left wanting more the entire way through. Paying the three dollars only to have the game finish moments later is like a solid slap in the face. I'm a big fan of Choice and Hosted. I've read tons of their works and this falls very low on the totem pole. You never even get to find out how your novel turns out

This story starts off strong and has a lot of promise. I liked the idea of a mystery coupled with magic. However, after certain events about halfway through the story becomes incredibly rushed. There is almost no explanation as to why the events took place and the ending lacks any sort of conclusion. Literally you solve (or don't solve) the mystery and two pages later the story ends. All in all, not worth paying for.

It's fun and well written but there were moments that just didn't seem quite right, like the mysticism in modern setting, and the writer seems to assume the reader is familiar with Australia. Difficulties romance wise due to lack of male options.

I think it is interesting but at the same time not worth of the dollars. Well at least for me. Love Max and Lala tho

This was alright. The pace is very quick so logic doesn't always follow imo. There are a lot of characters and since the pace is quick, I straight up forgot who some of them were and they were very one-dimensional. I did think the writing was good and has potential to be a good story if it were better paced.

Needed more proof reading--syntax and spelling errors abound. Gave you LOTS of choices over relatively low value items, but none in more important scenes. The magic in the house just seemed glommed on, and the character arcs did not make sense. The author took great pains with the bits detailing food allergies, anxiety issues, depression or ADD. I wanted to like this better than I did---the premise had potential, it just needed more polish.

Do not download this book.. it was absolutely a giant waste of time.. the writer starts off very normal and the story is even halfway interesting. Then a certain important event happens about a fourth of the way through and its as if the writer rushed to finish the rest of the book in 1 hour.. The writing is ridiculously fractured and has zero flow to it. One moment a character will be hysterically crying over the death if a loved one, the next moment they will be playfully winking.

I actually purchased this book. This story is about a writers retreat where a murder happens and you are supposed to figure it out. This story is incomplete in my opinion. The last investigation is rushed and you never even get to hear about the book you wrote in game. The story starts out well with character development and then just falls flat at the end.
