good story! I recommend one thing: try to substitute words like 'said' and 'asked' for more meaningful and descriptive words that more express how the character is saying this, like 'growled', 'snapped', 'whispered', etc, etc.

Hey :) So I think this is a pretty damn amazing piece of writing. It is really creative, and as the comment says bellow, completely orignial. I have never read a storyline close to this, so congrats on that ! However, it can be a bit hard to read because your sentences sometimes get a little jumbled, the grammar can be quite poor and you repeat a lot of words. The amount of times I saw the word 'then' was unbelievable haha! 
I also think you should comment more on the surrounding such as the settings/characters. Personally, when I read stuff I like to have full detail on what everything looks like to make it more well...real. 

So yeah, I think you should read through it, correct any mistakes made, try not to repeat words so much and use more desrcription and this would be a book that I would happily buy :D 

Sorry, this is a bit of an essay but I promised feedback so you got it hehe :)

Totally original and I LOVE this!!

Hey E.T.Wotruba! As promised, I've read it :) This is a really good plot line and depending on how far you want to develop it, it could be exceptational! :)  However, there are a few things you need to work on: -Overuse of the word "said" and "?" -There are loads of connectives; try to get rid of most of them, they take away tension, especially in death scenes. -Part 1 especially is quite informal; using phrases like "funny that". I'm not sure if this is what you want or not.  -Think about the reactions for each character - especially to the death scenes. How would they react? Calm and controlled or upset? -Try to describe the appearance and setting in more detail - use the 5 senses and a range of vocabulary (theasauruses are good here!). -The ending is satisfying, but extend it slightly - especially the fight scene. Try to include short sentences to increase the tension. -As it is a short novel, there are some grammar (and spelling - but I'm not sure if that's because I'm from England - Americans and English spell certain words differently) issues, but nothing major. You might think I'm being quite negative, but I'm just trying to make this a really good novel, something for you to be proud of :) I see real potential here! I love love LOVE the plot line, and Warren and Dave's characters are amazing!! Maybe you could develop them more? The friendship between Ben and Tom is good, and I like the relationship of Ben and Jenny.  Good ending - but what do they do with Jesus' journal? On the whole - a good novel, with some real potential. The storyline is captivating and inventive.  Well done, thanks for the great read! :)
