I was interested and engaged for the most part. I think it could have been helped with some tighter editing, maybe, I don't know. Like, I liked it but I feel like it could have been better in some ways.
And now for Petty Betty: a few grammatical errors and oddly phrased bits. And one "You've got another thing coming to you if you don't tell us where they are!" I wish that one had been caught. ...more
