Great work. I’m hooked. And nice conclusion – fainting is surely the only way she could have gotten out of that one!

Susanna – brilliant read and a worthy winner.

Wonderful emotional intensity and conflict – a lesson in ‘how to write’ for HQ.

I wish you all the best for the rest of the book and many more in the future.

Well Done.
