SQUEEE! It's finally here!!

This was an awesome first chapter. It raises a lot of questions and does a great job introducing the MC. I'm REALLY curious about her bruises. And I'm dying to know exactly what she did to get sent to Italy.

Can't wait for more!!

I read the story here because I'm more visual than auditory, but then, someone called me on the phone and told me to watch the youtube video because it's great. So, I did and I think it's fantastic! The way your book cover spins and the haunting music really sets the stage for your reading.
I love the sketches too. I had to look away from the monitor while listening to chapter 1 because the drawing of Giovanni kissing Emily is so riveting.
I'm looking forward to next week!

I am hooked! I always wanted to know who St. Giavonni is (honestly I did not know there was one I guess thats why it is a popular baby name these days).
Great work I cannot wait to read more.

I really enjoyed this section. I think Giovanni sounds very sweet and obviously hot. Their encounter is mysterious and leaves me wanting to know more. I think this section definitely shows that your story is "for real" with the superb writing and editing and presentation.

I love what you're doing here - sharing this story :-) Great first chapter, and beautiful illustrations. I was captivated by the Preface that Rachael Harrie shared on her blog and had to come over and see it for myself.

Great opening! Great kiss (even if Em didn't agree), great slap...the only issue is she fell on her butt! Lmao! Funny in the cutest way though =)

Now, straight on to chapter two for me.....
