A review by slithytoves
The Crescent by Jordan Deen

1.0

Ok, I guess the story wasn't that bad, but the sentences were hard to read and the numerous spelling errors ruined the mood in some of the most important scenes. Somehow 'I cannot loose you again' is much less sincere than 'I can't lose you again'. I found that particular error four times in the book. I don't really think this book was edited for spelling errors because I found words like 'sheak' and 'smileed' which is just careless editing. The other thing, which could be considered a stylistic choice, there were no contractions. There's a little 10 year-old girl and even when she was terrified she would say things like 'you cannot leave him!' which made her sound much older and didn't match up with her character.

I might be being a little harsh, it's possible that this book deserves two stars, but it ended on something akin to a cliffhanger. We learn the main conflict and it is sort of resolved, but there is no conclusion. It ends as if there should at least one more chapter if not two.

I don't recommend this book.
