The cover is absolutely gorgeous. The fonts are prominent, the image is vibrant and captivating, and the graphics are cool. It's an awesome cover overall. The title is intriguing, leaving me curious about the story it holds. Well-written blurb! It captures attention with its vivid imagery and engaging introduction. I'm looking forward to diving into this book. 

First chapter was: Absolutely captivating! The chapter is complete with a clear point of view, numerous compelling questions raised, and an array of intriguing characters and settings introduced. I'm eagerly anticipating what comes next.

The first arc is well-developed, delving into the protagonist's past trauma from high school and the challenges she faces in college. The introduction of mysterious black-suited figures adds an extra layer of intrigue. About the main plot. The protagonist's past, origins, and her parents are compelling. The mystery surrounding her identity, including the possibility of her being a half-vampire, keeps me hooked as a reader.

The characters are diverse, with some being irritating ("ehem", the classmates), others mysterious, and the protagonist undergoing significant development. I'm eager to see how they evolve throughout the story.

The diction is strong, although there's some repetition of adjectives within the same chapter. Perhaps consider varying word choice to maintain freshness. Nonetheless, the language is captivating. The flow of the narrative is excellent, despite lengthy paragraphs and chapters. The first-person perspective effectively conveys tension, calm, and anxiety, immersing the reader in the protagonist's thoughts and experiences.

I thoroughly enjoyed the writing style, particularly the approach to depicting the protagonist's college experience and inner thoughts. Overall, the grammar is strong, with only minor errors in capitalization and verb tenses.
