Hi Siobhan Falen , I decided to read your story and have some suggestions to offer. ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** Plot It flowed so well and I enjoyed the tension you created at the end. Setting It was so interesting and very beautiful that I didn't feel like stopping at any point in the story. I just wish to know more about the scents. Since it was a cave at the sea, I assume an aqua scent or a salty taste. What I liked best I like that they encountered a scary mermaid. Towards the end, you leave the readers with a feeling of dread and horror because the mermaid was waiting for Jessica if she returned to the sea. The suspense still lingers. Further Suggestions He didn’t do so much as twitch - missing word that I inserted “Please, let him go.” The woman’s lips twitched but she didn’t say - Was this the mermaid talking or Jessica. I think it's Jessica but when you write "the woman" after the dialogue, it sounds like the woman (mermaid) was talking. “Buddy! Buddy! Please!” She shrieked - I think a lower case should flow after an exclamation mark is used in dialogue. I just wondered, why did the mermaid spare Jessica? Overall A wonderful story with a spooky plot. Well done My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
