Book Club Reading Recommendations (recommend your story)

Hey! I have a book club called Unmasked Gems. The purpose of my book club is to find the hidden gems on the episode app! There are so many amazing stories that go unnoticed and I want to shed light to that.

I’ve been away from the app for awhile and need to acquire a list: If you have a story, it’s can be yours or a someone else’s please drop it below!

Club Name: UnmaskedGems

Club tags: #ReadingRecs , #GemSeekers, #Competitive , #VibesOnly

BUT - make sure it meets the requirements first.

I’ve realized that the people in my book club look for certain things when reading:

  1. Cannot have early access
  2. Cannot have skip the wait
  3. Must, have customization
  4. Must, have choices
  5. Gem choices are okay but they have to be reasonable.
  6. No horror or gory stories
  7. They prefer limelight

I try to keep the stories I recommend family friendly but I have nothing against adult themes.

If you have a story that fits that criteria then please drop it below!

Information need:

Hey. I have two stories I would like to recommend but you might approve one of them or something. Sorry about that. I just want to give recommendations, but here it is:

Genre Action
Style Limelight
Number of Episodes 23

Link Episode Writer Portal
Does it Meet all of the requirements? If not, which requirements does it not meet?
No. It has everything required but customization because I want my characters to look how I imagined them to be.

And here is the second story:
Title Squad: The Gavinville Paranormal Team
Author Tabitha Williams
Genre Action
Style Limelight
Number of Episodes 5 (6 and 7 are on the way!)
Description In Gavinville, monsters attempt to plague the city with its enhanced evil, and it is up to five squad heroes Karen, Sharon, Regina, and Max and Kyle to stop them. But will they?
Link Episode Writer Portal
Does it Meet all of the requirements? If not, which requirements does it not meet?
Yeah it does but it may seem that it has horror elements or not I could be wrong but it’s more of an action story than horror.

Does it Meet all of the requirements? If not, which requirements does it not meet? It meets all the requirements but there is a little blood here and there because it’s a supernatural/fantasy story and there is choices, just not many in the beginning only because it’s my first story and I’m learning as I go but for sure I will add more choices and eventually the points system.
