Okay, so let's do this! The title of your book had me in before I even ventured through the blurb. It's to say that the name itself is so beautifully absorbing and thoroughly intriguing that I felt obligated to go through your story. However, I wish, I could say the same about the cover too. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved the mystery that the hues of red and black blending in together brought out but I found it difficult to make out the title in the cover. The colors are so obscure that they merge together almost blindingly, casting a shadow over the title and thus, refraining it from standing out. I would suggest using a different font or even better, some brighter shade of red for the title.
Representation of the protagonist, the brief summary of the fictional plot married with just the right amount of suspense into the mixed spice of your synopsis is just finely structured. It hooks the readers right away! At the very beginning of the story, I could see the amount of efforts that you have taken in to build the posters, characters and aesthetics, I must admit it really takes the entire experience to a whole new level. The teaser and the trailer as captivating as they are, together they bring out the realistic appeal which makes the story all the more believable.
I am immensely satisfied that I haven't found much of any grammatical or spelling mistakes throughout the chapters that I've read. The writing style though as simple as it is, you've creditably maintained the perfect consistency and balance between your words. Usually, the problems with adopting a simple language is that it's in fact quite difficult to maintain the flow of its simplistic words along with the tenses that people quite generally find aggravating to keep up with. But trust me you have done a good job.
The beginning of the story takes us to the scene where it all begins as April Park enters her new life, away from her hometown in an entirely new place, the cleaver switch between the past and the present begins right from the first chapter itself where we get to experience the thrill, intense and compelling life at Beacon Heights High School. The character of Allison Hawthorne, the supposed victim of the murder, aptly portrayed as the stereotypical queen bee at first but just as the story further progresses we get to know the fact that every person is capable of possessing both; the bad and the good qualities, it is their actions towards one that usually defines them. Personally, I think that you have done a fairly good job with each one of your characters as and how they progress throughout with consideration of having a number of characters in the story, I am really amazed to see the amount of detailed impressions that you've distinguished each one of them with. The heedlessly carefree, willfully reckless and interestingly obnoxious personality of Maeve was what I truly enjoyed the most. The significance of maintaining an easy going character in an intense novel is that it takes the audience through the roller coaster of emotions which is admirably a quite smart move.
Especially, the routine conversations with the detective in the start, they create a delightful itch for curiosity that can only be quenched as you further read into it and with each chapter bringing forth a new story it completely spellbinds the reader. You have quite the talent to keep your readers hooked and satisfied. And my dear, I really enjoyed your book and wish that your work receives all the attention it deserves.
