[2035] Vampire Romance Chapter 1
So I've been trying (and kinda failing) to write adult-targeted romance recently. This is my most recent attempt at a paranormal romance. As the title says, it's mainly focused on vampires and takes place in a world where vampires have always been known about and involved with society.
Also spoiler that may or may not determine how you read/review this piece
!The male character featured in this chapter (Kamille) is not the primary love interest for the protagonist (Mina).!<
With that out of the way, here are some questions I have regarding this piece!
- How did you like the prose/dialogue? Does the POV feel authentic to the age of the character?
- This chapter starts in media res style so is that element detracting or does it make you more interested?
- I've been having a lot of trouble developing a more adult voice, so I'm definitely interested in whether or not this reads as adult or YA (just voice, prose, and tone-wise since the characters are too old for YA).
- Do you want to keep reading by the end? Are you engaged by Mina's struggles or does her character leave a bad taste in your mouth? Same goes for Kamille.
Here's Chapter One
Critiques
Thank you!
