Question: How is this for the back of my novel!?
Everyone is afraid of death!. Everyone knows what death is capable of!. But people cannot imagine how death feels!.
Except me!.
I know how it feels to have death’s icy fingers crawling up your body, as its weight presses upon your ears!.
Why might I know this!?
I’ve been dead before!.
Who am I!?
I am Hannah David and I was nine years old when I was drowned by a boy because I wouldn’t tell him his future!.
Someone saved me!.
That was five years ago, and I am fourteen with a passion for water!.
People call me normal, in fact you probably couldn’t get more normal than me, and until you learn I’m psychic, that I can see and talk to dead people!.
But her masked saviour is the only blackened void in her memory!.
Until similar fatal drowning, involving other girls with supernatural powers begin!. Hannah realises, maybe her second chance is up!.
Where is her saviour, when she needs him the most!?
Or will she find her self held under water again!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
That sounds amazing! I would definitely read it!.!.!.
Even the blurb (that's what these are called, right!?) sent chills up and down my spine!.
I have only one "flaw" to point out, and it's not even very significant: In the third paragraph, you change from first person to third person!. You might want to change that!.
Good luck, and keep me updated on your novel!Www@QuestionHome@Com
It's a really good peak, but it feels like the sencond paragrph gives a little to much detail for a book flap, if it were a bit more cryptic, it think it would be a little better!. But i would read this book, if i picked it up off a shelf and read it, kudos to youWww@QuestionHome@Com
WAY too much!. You need to cut it down by about 2/3!. You give away way too much!. Pax-C
EDIT - No, this is not called a blurb!. This is called liner notes!. A Blurb is when you ask another author to write a little not like "Best book I ever read!" Stephen King!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
You should make it shorter!. You basically gave away the whole story!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
It's too long and why would she have a passion for water if she was almost drowned!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
