REVIEWS #1
(comments by Twihards on Jess's abysmal work):

"Damn i feel so sorry for people LYK YOU!!"
-- 14 y/o "Breaking Dawn Fan" | Jan 2010

"The hypey-blurb and the Twilight reference actually turns me off from wanting to read [EyeLeash: A Blog Novel]. Just because Bella isn't good enough for all you feminists doesn't mean she isn't a positive role model.
I LIKE BELLA."
-- Z.E.W., 31 y/o female, Texas | Oct 2011

"A dumb story where nothing happens."
-- Romance Addict / Vampire Fan | on The Devilin Fey
(an incubus story)

REVIEWS #2 (emails, etc.):

". . .I'm going to go read [Literary Heroin] now. I love Twilight parodies! And thank you for [dedicating the Bad Romance anthology] to me. I am honored. Thank you!"
-- Michael K | DListed.com

"Your job is to write the best you can about the things you care about. However, I thought your parody of Twilight was very funny. (I have only read the beginning so far.)"
-- Reader/Customer Email (from U.K.)

"If you are one of the people who hate Twilight, the Twihard craze, and how corporations push books down people's throats, then Jess C Scott's Literary Heroin is a hilarious catharsis that mocks the overhyped and sexist series. Scott's mockery of Twilight and even Twilight knock-off writers will have readers laughing long after they finish the book, all because it is true that there are a lot of bad books out there that somehow snag major money and acclaim. If you want to get the Twilight taste out of your mouth, then Literary Heroin will do the trick!"
-- Kristopher Miller, Author of The Maze's Amulet

"Funny as hell; awesome satirical moments."
-- Nelo's Bookshelf Reviews

"Jess C Scott smartly chooses her words to really give an electrifying effect to readers...this is a work that will instigate revolution against literary mediocrity and mundane novels. I highly recommend this to people who love books and who hate bad literature!"
-- Hail Gil (5-star review)
