This is my first time critiquing/posting here, please let me know if I’m doing something wrong 😅 I think I did the flair right but I’m on my iPad so I’m not sure it worked

I’m sharing the prologue of my novel, a paranormal romance with demons. Any critique is appreciated, but I’d especially love to get feedback on:

  • Overall impressions - would you keep reading?
  • Voice - I struggle with third person
  • Humor - did it seem like it was trying too hard to be funny? Which jokes aren’t landing or actively making it an unpleasant read?
  • Please rip apart the opening paragraphs as much as you can
  • Line edits are much appreciated, this is like a 5th draft and I want to polish it as much as possible
