Requirements & Requests

I would like feedback on world building, pacing, and overall voice. It would be great to get feedback on the romance, and characters as well. If you have any questions, or commentary to offer that is great! I would love to chat about this story with you. It has been with me a long time, haha. I do ask that you don’t share the manuscript with anyone. Feel free to talk about the story if you like, but do not send the manuscript for anyone who is not a beta reader for me. Thank you!!

Trigger Warnings:

There are some darker themes, and a decent amount of violence. There is profanity, and mentions of sexual violence.
