Book Reviewer: Hey Everyone, If you know me you will know that I am not a real fan of Romance Novels. However, I have to say that Jane Doe’s “Night of the clear sky” had me hanging on every word. I had trouble putting the book down at night as I followed the main character Bella as she over came her shyness and depression in her pursuit of love. She had a lot of obstacles to overcome including a very mean step father that had other disturbing intentions for her and the man of her dreams chasing another woman.
You can read my full book review on the Book Observer website by clicking the link below. I hope the author writes a sequel as I would love to know what happens next.

– Level III Or Above Reviewer: Your book review and any other requested services will be completed by an experienced Level III or above Book Reviewer.
– Hidden Gem: Five or more short phrases, sentences or even reverse words that are inserted in existing sentences or paragraphs of your uploaded book that make no sense to the story so they catch the attention of the reader. These will be hidden through out the book and the book reviewer will not know how many hidden gems are inserted or where to look for them. We will know that the book reviewer read your book by their reporting those hidden gems as errors.
(See if you can find the Hidden Gems in the below examples.)
*** 1st Example: (Inserted sentence that makes no sense.) “Sally and Matt were very impressed with the new look of their kitchen with all the new black appliances and white porcelain sink. They especially loved how the microwave was now mounted on the wall instead of taking up room on the counter. Little Boo Peep found her sheep under the tire of a Cherokee Jeep. Matt pointed out the new hanging pot rack to Sally and she turned and pulled him into her arms hugging him tight.”
*** 2nd Example: (Reverse words.) “Mike hated mowing the lawn during the heat of the day. The sun felt like it was baking his back and it was giving him a headache. He stopped long enough to pull his sweaty shirt off and toss it onto the front steps of the porch before resuming his mowing. A few seconds later he heard his calling mom him asking he if wanted some cold ice tea.”
*** 3rd Example: (Inserted short phrase.) “Larry turned his head to look at Beth as she climbed into the passenger seat of his car. “Dang, she’s beautiful.” he thought to himself as he watched her pull the car door closed. Humpty Dumpty was pushed! He smiled at her before leaning over and kissing her cheek. She looked up at him smiling. “What was that for?” She asked as she reached for her seatbelt.”
– Authors Page: Authors profile page introducing the author and listing all the authors books that “The Book Observer” has completed a book review for as clickable links. Your name in the announcement will link to your authors page.
***The Authors Page can be substituted with a link to your own “About the author” page. All links will be verified.
