- Reviewer Katha -

Cover :: 8/10
The cover is pretty- the picture used is nicely edited and the fonts used for the title and subtitle are also very attractive and matching. Though I would suggest increasing the font size of the subtitle and slightly diminishing its word count.

Title :: 3/5
The title is something I've not quite heard of, so that's unique. But about the catchy part, I would deduct it a little because it didn't exactly make me wonder "Woah, this is going to be interesting" or anything of that sort. But I wouldn't ask you to alter it.

Blurb :: 9/10
The description was really well-written. The little dialogue excerpt and then moving on to a quick but informative summarization of the story, was really nice. There is the element that raises curiosity in readers at the last line.
Since you have decided to write the whole story in lower case, you could've written the description in lower case as well. That would've given the readers an idea about the "lowercase intended" thing, nevertheless, it's fine.

Plot and Twists :: 23/25
The story is really well-paced, neither too quick nor too slow. The plot is also a really good one and you have done a great job in maintaining the suspense throughout, which is very important as there needs to be an element of mystery.
Up to the chapters I had read, I didn't find any twists, but a plot twist is indeed anticipated. Here you should keep in mind not to give hints on what the plot twist would be or any such clues to the readers. A plot twist should always be surprising and make the reader go "what just happened?"
As for the character introductions, it was very smooth and not random, which is a plus point. A character should always be introduced with a relatable situation and yours was very much on point.

Characters and Emotions :: 9/10
You have done a nice job at portraying your characters. Unlike many authors, you did not describe the characters in one single paragraph, instead you have added little details of them every now and then, which was a nice technique.
The emotions portrayed by the characters are also well described and a reader can feel those emotions and relate with the characters.

Writing Style :: 14/15
Your description of the events is really immaculate and gives a clear view in a reader's mind, so kudos for that! And the shifts in perspectives are also smooth and do not confuse the readers.
You have used a mixture of simple and fancy words to write your story and the ratio was well-balanced. The sentence structures were also quite easy to comprehend, because let's be honest, not everyone is a professional in the English language. Stories should be made easily comprehensible for readers to read at ease and you have done a great job at that.

Grammar and Vocabulary :: 17/20
There weren't any grammatical errors, in fact, your grammar is really nice. I did spot some minor spelling errors along with punctuations, which I think were typos and result of not giving a proofread after writing. Otherwise, there aren't any major mistakes that would need you to rewrite the whole thing.
The vocabulary of your story need not include fancy words now and then, but the correct usage of those words at the right place. And you have done that. Your vocabulary is indeed very impressive.

Reviewer's Thoughts :: 5/5
For me, the story was something I enjoyed reading as a reader. The writing style and descriptions are really impressive. As you know, sometimes writing is not everything a reader needs. The eye-pleasing element is also sometimes needed and this book had it. From the mood boards and quotes in the "Character" chapter to the gifs at the beginning of every chapter, the book was very aesthetically pleasing. And your author's notes at the end were also very comforting.

Total :: 88/100

Weaknesses and Strengths ::
As such, you don't have much of a weakness, except that you should always give proofreading to your chapters before fully publishing them to edit out the minor typo errors you might have made while drafting it.
Otherwise, you're quite a great author: your story line, way of description, character portrayal and writing style are all very impressive. Even the overall aesthetic of the book, as I've mentioned before: the gifs, mood boards and quotes are really well managed and I didn't find any haphazardness in that.
