CH/BB
If you look at the books that are available from CH/BB and Hot Ink on Amazon and check out their reviews, it seems like they are having a lot of quality control issues.
On Ember by Madison Daniel: "I just couldn't bring myself to ignore. all. the unnecessary. periods. And grammatical errors."
On Reign of Blood by Alexia Purdy: "Also towards the final quarter of the book, the writing sort of devolved, (I think that Ms. Purdy is a great story teller, but got rushed at the end)so maybe didn't get the proofreading needed."
On Court Danger by Elizabeth A. Lance: "It was hard to follow the extremely boring dialogue because it was not formatted properly..."
On Bottom Feeders by Armada West: "The main problem is that the book is riddled with far more grammar errors and inconsistencies than should be allowed. To be blunt, the editor needs to take another look through every page. In some cases words are switched around or completely missing; spellcheck can't catch everything."
On My Everything by Khelsey Jackson: "the spelling and grammatical errors were PAINFUL. At the beginning of the book it gave credit to an editor. There is NO WAY this book was edited or proof read. Ever."
One book actually has *11!!* one star reviews out of 27 total.
Also a lot of books being published by the same authors. I think someone else said it best earlier.
From their About page:
Geared toward writers rather than readers.
I mean, it seems as though they are picking up some decent work but then are just not following through.
And something I noticed as I was going through looking for examples, A LOT of the reviews are posted by the same people. If you look at the previous reviews by these people, they are ALL five stars for the books printed by CH/BB and Hot Ink. To top it off, comments back to the low-rating reviews get responses from those same people and they're pretty aggressive sometimes. Only a couple times did the author respond graciously at the criticism.
Seems like a lot of tom foolery going on.
