TITLE: DESOLATION
GENRE: YA Paranormal


Some people are born with a silver spoon in their mouth, but I was born with a pitchfork in my hand. I considered this problem

  2. Love it! Hook for humor and a good, strong MC voice.

  4. A little unsure with this one, though not for any reason I can really speak to. I would definitely give it another paragraph or so, since I like the writer's voice.

  5. GRINS. I read this too fast and thought you had "but I was born with a pitchfork in mine".

    I do like the first sentence and am hooked by that alone. Even if the pitchfork was in the hand instead of the mouth.

  8. I like it. Suggestion - get rid of the but and make the first sentence into two. I think this would make it stronger

  9. Right now it's a guarded hooked.

    I would prefer a more wry comment such as: 'I considered this to be a problem', because it is purely subjective whether the MC's status is or isn't a problem.
