Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Night(whichever one it is in your part of the world),
Hi! I'm here to leave a quick review!!
Anyway let's get right to it,
"Hello?" Her voice quavers, echoing off the walls surrounding her. Tumbled red curls curtain her beautiful yet terrified face in ringlets. Light brown freckles are softly sprinkled across her nose and cheekbones and her naturally full lips are slightly parted. Her stunning Emerald Green eyes are wide and gleaming with unshed tears. I can taste the fear rolling off of her fair body and I breathe it in slowly, savoring it. I wish for a brief instant that I could spare this poor, seemingly innocent girl, for it truly is a shame killing her. But unfortunately, there's no turning back now...
Well, this is somehow the second prologue I've run into that's a bit on the shorter side...and also happens to be one that's actually capable of getting you hooked as a reader. These are usually a much rarer thing, but I do have to say, at first glance, this is a powerful piece that immediately does manage to draw you right in here.
I especially loved the twist here, I think that is the main reason for this prologue to be quite so good at getting a reader's attention. The start just gives you no indication whatsoever of what might happen, we've got what appears to be someone that maybe has a crush on this woman being described, just go on describing how beautiful an innocent this one person looks and it all seems very wholesome and then just out of the blue, it looks like this person is actually planning a murder. Not only is it very interesting to see regret there on this person's side at having to do something like this but also just this sheer twist makes you really want to read on here.
Overall, this is a really powerful prologue considering its size and you've done a pretty good job here.
Aaaaand that's it for this one.
As always remember to take what you think was helpful and forget the rest.
Stay Safe
Harry
