Cover :: 6/10
The cover is acceptable. It involves aspects from the plot and is relevant to the title, but I don't think it matches the tone of the book. Because the book is about criminals and criminal deeds, I advise that the author change the cover to represent that topic. The fonts are visible on the current cover and are in keeping with the rest of the design. The colour scheme isn't particularly eye-catching, but the colours work well together.

Title :: 2/5
Despite the fact that the title is unique and distinctive, I don't think it has much to do with the plot. A title should be innovative and exciting, but it should also represent and be important to the theme. I recommend that the author replace it to something more relevant to the plot.

Blurb :: 8/10
The blurb is intriguing, and it's a touch long (by Wattpad standards), but that's not a problem for me. It grabs the reader's attention and offers just enough information to pique their interest. In addition, the execution and words are excellent. Only a couple of grammatical errors, which I'll point out in the grammar section, are a drawback.

Plot and Twists :: 18/25
The plot moves at a relatively slow rate. Because each chapter is so long, I'm expecting a lot more action. Aside from that, the plot appears to be well-planned and polished.
The plot was logical, and the scenes were well-paced. The start was captivating, and it was an excellent approach to introduce Meera's character and provide insight into her role in the plot. The cause for her exit from the country remained a mystery, which piqued my attention enough to keep reading. I could sympathise with Ivan's side of the story as well, but it did feel a touch cliched at times.I'd encourage the author to work on the pacing a little bit because it feels like the narrative is moving at a snail's pace.

Characters And Emotions :: 8/10
The characters weren't faultless, and they displayed emotions, making them more real.
The characters are well-suited to such plotlines, and their personalities are well-suited to their respective roles in the story. Because the book is presented in the first person, the characters' cognitive processes and emotions are well explained. However, there is one disadvantage to writing in the first-person point of view, which is that the thoughts and emotions of the other characters are not as well depicted. However, as the author switches points of view in each chapter, this isn't a major issue. I was able to see things through the eyes of the character since the emotions were conveyed well enough, and I didn't think anyone was lying to me. I was able to see things through the eyes of the character since the emotions were properly depicted, and I didn't think anyone was acting irrationally..

Writing Style :: 10/15
The writing style is straightforward and easy to understand. The author doesn't use any fancy or heavy vocabulary, but I don't believe this diverts attention from the plot. Thoughts and emotions were sufficiently expressed; nevertheless, I would recommend that the author define the surroundings a little more, as they are largely ambiguous. The texting format has been messed up by the author; the left side should be the other person, and the right side should be 'you.'
The sentence structure is good, however the author's tenses need to be improved.

Grammar and Vocabulary :: 13/20
I don't recommend any changes to the author's vocabulary because it is appropriate for the writing style and first person point of view. There are a number of grammatical errors. The author should pay greater attention to punctuation and tense. The author's tenses are frequently screwed up in his or her writing, which can be distracting when reading. I recommend that the author proofread the chapters thoroughly and correct any errors.
'this time all the way to to New York City’
Omit one of the ‘to’.
‘that leaves him with more problems with than answers.’
Omit the ‘with’ before the ‘than’.
‘Deals……how can anyone’
An ellipse should only have three periods.

Reviewer's Thoughts :: 2/5
Because of the prolonged chapters and grammatical errors, I found the book difficult to read. However, I thought the plotline to be intriguing, and the characters to be entertaining. The book could be improved with a few changes. I hope the author appreciates the feedback. Best wishes for the upcoming chapters!

The title, pace, and length of the chapters are all flaws in the book. I loved the title at first since it was unique, but I couldn't figure out why the author chose it as the title and was dissatisfied. It's exhausting to read such long chapters with little development in the plot. I strongly advise the author to address this—they might split the chapters in half or make them more active. Characters and plot are the book's strong points. The plot attracted me in right away, and the characters further added to my intrigue.
