Hello There!
I’m Dess, a romance-loving chaos gremlin who reads everything from sweet slow burns to morally black men, monster lovers, romantasy, dark, weird, feral, and everything in between. If it’s adult fiction with chemistry, tension, and at least a little unhinged energy, I’m in.
I read like a real reader, which means I’m here to tell you what works, what drags, what hits, and what could hit harder.
I offer beta reading, smut reads, story feedback, punch-ups, vibe checks, and custom support based on what your book actually needs, not some one-size-fits-all package. Booking a consultation is always free, and if you’re not sure what service fits your project, we’ll figure it out together and build something that works for you.
A full read of your manuscript with in-text highlights and comments throughout. I focus on: - pacing and flow - repetition and over-explaining - plot structure and timing of reveals - clarity and reader engagement - endings that feel like endings (not epilogues in disguise) This is reader-focused, annotation-based feedback.
A reader-focused analysis designed to identify the moments in your manuscript that make readers want to pick up the book – and keep reading.
This service pulls out:
This wouldn't be social media posting or ad management. It’s about identifying the hooks inside your story that sell the experience of the book.
Heat Check
Reader-reaction feedback on intimacy, chemistry, and tension. I’ll tell you what hits, what feels awkward, and where the spark falls flat.
Spice Boost
Guidance on how to strengthen and intensify intimate scenes. Notes on where to escalate, slow down, cut repetition, or lean into tension for greater impact.
Filth Mode 😏
An unapologetic, reader-driven pass focused on pushing heat, intensity, and payoff as far as the story and characters allow. No holding back😰😮💨– just intentional escalation that still serves the story. We still love a good plot!
Hook & Description Options
I’ll read your book and pull together a few description-style options that focus on the hook and overall vibe – the kind of back-of-book copy that makes someone want to keep reading.
Whether that’s funny, witty, sharp, or more low-key depends on what you’re going for. If you’re unsure about tone or style, we can talk it through before I start.
Final selection and refinement are always up to the author.
