New Horizons by Dan Carr ---exclusive to amazon

Hi,
my name is Dan Carr and I'd like to promote my first e-book called "New Horizons." It's a general YA fiction novel from the perspective of a 17-year-old teenager named Val who is taken from her home and sent to a facility for troubled youth. Val is a jaded, stubborn, and pessimistic teenager, and the story follows her outlook on the program and her opinions of the other residents of "New Horizons".

I just posted my novel a few days ago and it is exclusive to amazon right now. I also put the novel in Kindle Unlimited, so I hope you can read it through that.

I'm looking for feedback of the novel cover, the blurb (which needs work), and of course the novel content itself.

Here is a link to the novel---- http://www.amazon.com/New-Horizons-D...=new+horizons]

Thanks,
Dan

Dan,

Here's my take, after a quick read:
  • The blurb's in need of a good editor (so I imagine the book is, too, and I'm not tempted to read further). What needs editing? Grammar, punctuation, sentence structure.
  • The cover's attractive, but in combination with the book's title and blurb, it implies this might be a sci-fi novel (although your description and Amazon's category tags indicate it's not).

I hope this is helpful. Best of luck.
