About Me
My name's Katrina and I write romances. Most of them have supernatural elements, but occasionally I write straight contemporary romances too. I've been adding magic and other supernatural bits to my stories since I was twelve and realized that if I wrote, then I could read the stories that I always wanted to read.
Part of being a writer is being a reader and loving books. As I've been reading and studying books so that I can improve my own writing, I've started taking notes on the books I read and have started to write reviews. The reviews contained here on my site are honest reviews of novels, novellas, and stories that I've bought or received through publishers with the understanding that I will be providing an honest review. In common critique group fashion, I will try to identify both strong and weak elements in each work.
If you would like me to consider reviewing a book, novella, or story, please email me and let me know the type of story it is, and the desired timing. I can't guarantee that I will get to everything as I balance my schedule between a day job and my own writing schedule, but I will do my best.I tend to read mostly romance, but stories with romantic elements are welcome and the occasional sci-fi or fantasy story will catch my attention too. I currently accept any formats that can be read on Kindle or the Kindle app (ex. Mobi).
My Ratings:
6 Stars - Revere - I'm totally your fan girl now. I hope that's ok. I will compare my own writing to yours and probably spend a day or two bumming out about my own work. You know that writers have delicate egos, right?
5 Stars - Love - I'm going to go look up the rest of your published book list now and make sure I'm following you on Facebook and Twitter. This rating fits for books that were really great, where I couldn't think of anything I'd want fixed or changed.
4 Stars - Enjoy - A few minor things could have been better or maybe there was one hiccup in the story that caught my attention. Otherwise, this is a solid and enjoyable story.
3 Stars - Like - I liked the story, but may have been confused or pulled out of my immersion multiple times due to irregular transitions or unclear dialog.
2 Stars - Dislike - This story was not for me. I may have wanted to stop reading because the characters weren't engaging or because part of the plot, character motivations, etc. didn't work for me.
1 Star - Avoid - I could barely finish reading the story. Maybe it should have gone through a few more rounds or revision or it could be that the premise just didn't work out.
