Hello! Thanks for clicking on this thread.

So I have two beta readers, one of which has yet to get back to me and the other who has finished and whose comments have been a great help.

I'm looking for more beta readers, because I feel as if it can never hurt to have too many beta readers.

So the query of Catharsis is here:

Seventeen-year-old Cassandra Dalton dreams about the grim reaper. That's fine. Playing tic-tac-toe with him for a man's life is no problem either. Even if said guy dies, it's all right. After all, it's just a dream.

Until she wakes up and finds out the guy really is dead.

She figures the first corpse is coincidence. Then the reaper comes back for round two, and she’s calling the second body pure chance. Three is bad luck, but the fourth dead guy’s pushing it. Cass doesn’t give a crap about how much fun the grim reaper has while she scrambles to win: she wants her conscience clean and the reaper gone. She’s going to try witches, holy water and sleep deprivation – anything to get rid of him.

Unless maybe she can work this to her advantage.

CATHARSIS is a dark paranormal young adult novel complete at 62,000 words.

Hey :D

I like your writing and your premise sounds cool :) (I remember your first chapter from YA SYW).

I'm pretty flat out for the next few weeks, but if you're still looking for a BETA in mid-March, PM me and I'll be more than happy to BETA for you.

Good luck :)
