message 1: by Blaque (new)

Blaque Diamond (blaquediamondbooks) | 76 comments Hello everyone. I am kicking around some ideas for my revised edition of my first release His or Her Betrayal? I have come up with this blurb and I want to get some input. This is a book that has two separate stories that are intertwined so that is why the blurb is kind of lengthy. I wanted to give readers a clear picture of what the book is about. Tell me what you think. I appreciate any feedback.

How far would you go to keep a secret from the person you love? That’s the question that Michelle Anderson is facing. From the outside looking in, everything is right in her life. She has great friends, her mother’s unconditional love, and the man of her dreams, but things aren’t always as they seem. Michelle is harboring a deep, dark secret that may have deadly consequences when it is brought to the light. Relationships built on deception don’t always turn out the way we hope, and Michelle finds that out the hard way.
Melvin Andres doesn’t approve of his daughter Michelle’s lifestyle. He believes that she needs to tell the truth about who she really is. The only problem is, Melvin has some secrets of his own. His past life comes back to haunt him in a twisted fate of karma. An act of betrayal uncovers some skeletons that were supposed to remain buried. Will this daughter and father untangle themselves from the webs of deception that they have created before it’s too late? Find out who is the betrayer and who has really been betrayed.

Jane Jago | 888 comments I do like it. But if it was me I would still try to shorten.

We maybe don't need the last sentence of paragraph one.

Paragraph two, I'd lose from 'His past life' to 'buried'.

Think the message would still be strong, but sharper

Isaac Alder | 60 comments I agree with Jane's edits. A couple of trimmed sentences will really tidy this up.
The blurb in general is a bit vague, and hard to pin down a genre, so your cover will really influence the "feel" a reader gets. Keep that in mind.
Also, the last names of the characters are different. Maybe that is on purpose, but I wanted to point it out just in case it was an autocorrect typo.
