Review: Interesting Tale, But Needs Editing
Rating: 3 out of 5

This tells the story of a potential high-school romance, where some of the characters represent two kinds of aliens who are generally enemies. The author does a good job of drawing the reader into the worlds of these aliens and a victim of child abuse who meets both kinds (without realizing they were aliens). I could empathize with many of the characters. There is often a parallel point of view covering the same events by each of the two main characters, and I think the technique works to unfold both of their perspectives. The story will continue into another book, but there was a reasonable partial resolution where this book ended.I could have given the book four stars, but there are significant errors throughout the book that require more proofreading - spelling, grammar, typos, missing words, punctuation, and formatting. In some sections of the book I noticed an error on just about every page, and it was distracting throughout. Some people may not be as bothered, but if you notice this type of thing, there is a lot to be noticed.Perhaps someday there will be a second edition of this book with corrections, and hopefully book two will spend longer with an editor before it gets published. This story does have potential and could be better than it is.Disclosure: I downloaded the book during a temporary free promotion, which the author hoped might result in some reviews.
