Why my SQLite3 query takes time?

I could really use some help with this query...?

• Here's a query letter I've done. I'd love some feedback on it: Being haunted is annoying, especially for high school senior Emma Harris. As if showing up at Emma’s volleyball game and shopping trip wasn’t bad enough, the ghost takes things to the next level. She hurls Emma and a not so innocent bystander back to 19th Century America where the stalker spirit is a flesh and blood girl: Lucinda Sutton. Of all the people to be stuck with in the past, Daniel Wyatt was not high on Emma’s list. Notorious for his reputation and anger problems, she tries to stay away from him. But stranded in a foreign world of petticoats and pantalettes, he's the only anchor to her time, a place she would do anything to get back to. After doing some digging into Lucinda’s life, Emma and Daniel discover that the only way they can get home is to help Lucinda and her lover marry. But there’s a catch: Lucinda is engaged to another man. The very man who may have been her killer. Unless Emma can overcome Lucinda's treacherous suitor, a lack of modern day conveniences, and a forbidden romance of her own...she may be stuck in the past forever. Complete at 69,000 words, BOUND is a paranormal young-adult novel. ...So, how horrible is it? Any advice? I've been working on this one for awhile.

• Answer:

  It sounds interesting, but not something I would read because I don't read historical. It also confusing in some parts. I thing you need to make it clear that Daniel is the "not-so-innocent bystander." You mention his name in the second paragraph and it could be confusing about who you're talking about. The second paragraph is confusing because of how you've constructed the sentences - it makes it seem like it's from Daniel's POV at first. For me, there are some missing parts and those missing parts make me ask questions that the query should answer. Alas, take my opinion with a grain of salt, and, as always, seek out other opinions, too. You might like queryshark.blogspot.com. I suggest you read every post on the blog. Good luck with it. It sounds like a good idea/plot.
