Same here, but if it’s written as well as the blurb is, I’m not picking it up.

All that text, and yet somehow half the title is missing?

Churches condemnation? Church’s condemnation? And global world? As opposed to what? Local world?
My brain hurts.

Who needs the whole title when you can just slap the synopsis on the front instead?

How many churches did she belong to?
Is this some form of were-priest beastiality love triangle?
Dino-porn readers want to know.

The subtitle (I Live in Two Worlds) is on the title page.
It is not on the front cover but a lengthy blurb (of the type usually found on back covers) is there.
That calls attention to the blurb.
Using Ms Leftwich’s high school English sentence diagramming rules: here the subject is “story” singular and the verb is “are” plural. Disagreeable.
“in this global world” is redundant to round earthers and disagreeable to flat earthers.
“churches condemnation”? The Amazon book page blurb refers to “the church’s condemnation”.
One would want that cover blurb proofread before seeing print. At the Press, text was seen by copymarkers, keyboarders and proofreaders. Proofs were signed off by publisher and author before going to print. That’s old school though.
I could/should stick to the cover, but the themes of the book suggest an apocalyptic sequel in which a crusader has achieved a global world overun by kittens and wolves; after the wolves decrease the surplus population of kittens, they turn on humans.
The worst of it is when I read that whole blurb, it actually sounded like a story I’d be interested in.
