Vampire/Werewolf: Aurora's Moon

--> Cover/Description
Your book cover doesn't "scream" read me, it doesn't stand out.
I don't judge the book for the cover, but if neither the cover or description make me curious, then most likely I would not read, and that's the feeling I have with your book. I don't understand why is the girl on your cover inside of a circle leaving the remaining portion of the book useless, and is that the eclipse behind it? But the title says Auroras Moon, so why the eclipse? Is that a meaning?
About the description, just feels incomplete to me, only tells me Nina is a teenager that goes on a trip and gets dragged into some etchings about a werewolf, and after a malfunctioning on her camera she went back and something changes everything...and that opens the door for mystery, yes finally!!
You have a nice idea for a description, but you didn't use it or better you didn't develop that into an outstanding description and believe me with the hints you gave you could have made this book description 10 times better than you did.
My advice to you is, go and find a good book cover if you don't have any options, let me know and I know some amazing graphic designers on wattpad that would love to help you, and fix that description, maintain the details but give the mystery that it deserves, so you won't lose any future readers.
I would say keep the first 2 sentences but finish in a more mysterious way, like..." forces her to come back, a decision that would make irreversible damages, they say the past should be kept in the past, but what happens when the past is back to the present? What happens when things that should be a legend are now a vivid reality?"
Something like that, you have the material and the talent is just a way of working around things.
-->The beginning
The first chapter is very well presented, until the end...you finished with a cliffhanger, and that is how every chapter should finish, right? So we kill all our readers with curiosity : ) but I think that again you could develop this further so it would leave a bigger impact or at least it would be a match for the cliffhanger.
If was me, I would add why she felt that she was going to die, her fears and make an impact on that sentence, instead of just stating it.
I wouldn't touch the last sentence though.
You took time to introduce Nina, as well as the other characters, which is enough to hook up all your readers into the story.
Love how you start your following chapters, you carry the suspense into the next page, which maintains the mystery of your plot alive.
-->Detailing/Grammar
Your grammar is good, no issues with that at all, you also describe surroundings perfectly good giving that fulfillment to the story.
-->Character Development/Plot
After reading the first chapter I understood the meaning of the eclipse on your book cover, I think you have a very interesting plot, it's full of questions and history, you bringing a legend back to life on your book, and that's very interesting.
I think you developed Nina perfectly, as well as everything else surrounding her, but I think you could raise the bar on how you finish your chapters, the content is there, you just need to elaborate a little more so you do not have an ok cliffhanger but an epic one.
-->Presence as Writer
I haven't seen much of you in your book at all. I don't know your thoughts about your book and you haven't tried to interact with your readers by asking feedback or just sharing your views on the book, which is fine but would be nice to hear from you now and then, I think your presence on your chapters are always good, I've noticed you reply to comments and you seemed always up to improvement, which ad a writer shows you take your work seriously.
-->My view as a reader...
I think you have the base to have a good book, but your cover doesn't make justice to your work and neither does the description.
Your plot has potential and you know how to develop your story.
I definitely think you need to work more of how you write the parts of your book that need that edge to keep your readers hooked up.
You are writing on a genre that needs mysterious plots and epic storylines, and your book is lacking that, which can leave it overshadowed by others in the same genre.
I would rate your book 3.5/5
