Every time I submit Bound by Blood: The Awakening to a reviewer, I start to gnaw my nails, turn a little gray and pace the floors. Why? Because you never know when a Reviewer is going to have a bad day, or when they might be rushed for deadlines, or maybe they just didn’t want to read the book to start out with.
One reviewer may praise you while another may bring the hammer down over your head. In one second the slaughter-fest may begin. So far I haven’t had a slaughter-fest concerning BBB, but I know one is coming. lol
This review however, that I am about to link you is by far the best review I have ever gotten. Why? Because the reviewer put so much passion and detail into the review itself. Of course she does the basic–what all reviewers should do–she gives my description of the book and then her description. But then she gives the review and I tell ya, if anyone ever got the story, it’s her. I guess I like the review because it’s professional yet it is also through the eyes of a dedicated and very opinionated reader. Anyway, see for yourself.
Here is a clipping:
Welcome to a brand new series by this talented writer. Ms. Scarlett has created a thrilling and exciting new series that is going to wow many fans. It has that old fantasy romance that is rarely seen in today’s novels. There are many intriguing characters that help our hero and heroine along the way. Things are rarely what they seem which makes it ever harder for the heroine to keep on fighting. You will enjoy all the obstacles and challenges placed on these characters.
You better believe that Bound By Blood is a work of art that has the makings of being onscreen entertainment. You will not find anything remotely close to this novel.

When an author writes a book, we realize and accept the many trial and struggles we are going to face. Not only is the publishing process (trying to find it a home and so forth) but then there is the whole promoting the book, the reviews, getting readers and so on. It’s an ongoing roller coaster ride through a tunnel of pins and nails. We each tell ourselves if one person gets it, if one person gets lost in it, if one person loves it, then its worth it. I have been blessed with some passionate readers who have gotten it and have fallen in love with it. I enjoy every email I get. But I have to say that this one review truly rocked my world because it not only comes from a reader but also a reviewer who has the fate of my baby in their hands. So yeah, I am cherishing this moment completely and will hold tight to it in case that slaughter-fest comes my way. ~winks~
