Review: Desperately Needs Proper Editing!
Rating: 2 out of 5

The stories in this book are decent, but the lack of proper grammar, punctuation, and word usage really ruins it for me. In one of the stories, it appears that the author decided to change the character's name from Leigh to Scarlett, but didn't replace all the occurrences of "Leigh" with "Scarlett." There are also several other occurrences in that story where she calls the main character by her friend's name, making some of the lines confusing. Luckily, that's the only one that has this problem. In all the stories she uses the possessive "submissive's" instead of the correct plural form "submissives." There are several occurrences of misplaced or incorrect punctuation, honestly more than I can count. There are also a few (very few, maybe two or three) instances where the author uses the incorrect word. The correct word is similar, but has a completely different meaning. If not for the complete lack of proper editing, I'd probably give it a 4-star review. I would venture to say that a good 80+% of the pages have some sort of error. I realize the book was extremely cheap and that's why I'm not contacting Amazon and demanding my money back. That isn't, however, an excuse for the author to give less than her best to her readers. I read the excerpt from her new book. It seems like it might be good, but I'm leery about purchasing it because of this book. Also, the book refers to the main male character as a succubus, however that is the name for a female demon/creature. A male is called an incubus. Just throwing that in there.
