Book 

Cover - 

As you already know, I love the cover! It's better than the previous one you had on Wattpad. This one is pretty and professional. It also suits your theme. 

Have to say, I love the orginality of the title, too. 

Great job! 

Blurb - 

Since the book is no longer on Wattpad, I'll review the blurb from Amazon instead. 

I love the blurb! Some parts are generic, but catchy. I like how you compare the differences between the two sisters. It's as if everything works in 'opposites' since one ends up with a werewolf and the other in a vampiric problem. 

Grammar & Punctuation - 

Your grammar and punctuation is spot on! Great job!

Character Development/ Plot - 

(Chapter One) 

I like how you've included subtle information about their backstory. They haven't had a good childhood and that's understandable because of the abuse they've endured. You know the saying, 'What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.' And because of this, the sisters have a strong bond. 

Although they are quite close, I feel like they aren't always honest with each other, or that they keep things from one another. Like Faline hasn't told Kierra about Nicolaus. Why would she disapprove? Is it because Kierra is the eldest and she feels like she has to protect Faline? 

I don't know why Kierra doesn't want to go to the doctors for them to look at her arm if she has the money to do so. 

(Chapter Two) 

Faline is very much into role-play, which makes sense since she met Nicolaus over the internet. I thought they were just messaging each other back and forth, but now this makes sense that they share a mutual interest, speaking a 'thing' between them. I wouldn't say it's a romantic thing as of yet. 

I find that Kierra is a little too over-controlling or possessive of her sister, Faline. She doesn't want her to go out meeting strangers alone, but the least she could do is go with her. Otherwise, Faline is like a prisoner. She can't do anything or go anywhere without her sister's permission.

Kierra is so relatable with the picking at her scabs issue. I'm the same with my mosquito bites. I have dozens of scars because I can't help but pick them over and over again. (I don't advise anybody to do that). 

I would have questioned who the dog (wolf) belonged to. It's probably a wild wolf, but I would still like to know why it bit her and why it's roaming around a garage that used to be inhabited. 

(Chapter Three) 

I have to agree, men's clothing is the best, especially with jumpers. I have a thing for oversized clothing, but men's oversized clothing seems to have a more comfy feel to them.
