Shattered Bonds by SiennaStorm1999

Title: 10/10

Cover: 9/10
Considering the plot and the title, the cover isn't showing much resemblance. It's a bit contradicting. I would suggest maybe just tweak up the cover a bit more so that it works alongside the title and blurb to the essence of the book and attract more readers. I know we say don't judge a book by its cover, but in the world of writing, readers do tend to pick the books with attractive covers.

Blurb: 9/10
Absolutely adored the blurb. It was the perfect balance of giving just the right amount of information of the plot to keep the readers hooked. Though, when reading it for the second time, I did notice a few grammar mistakes (not major ones, just tiny ones). I would suggest maybe re reading the blurb for the 1-2 grammar errors. But, overall, the blurb was fantastic and genuinely made me intrigued to know what happened in the book. It worked perfectly well in sync with the prologue as well.

Writing Style:
Shattered Bonds is written in first person. I mainly focused on the female protagonist POV, but it did include a chapter dedicated to the male lead as well. It's a very descriptive book, allowing the readers to truly visualize the scenes and the dialogues were spot on. The book is based on the trope of an alpha x omega combined with the enemies to lovers trope, which is quite catchy and works well.

Flow and Pace:
I find the flow of the book as well as the pace to be just right. It's not too slow and not fast, allowing things to progress naturally and not confuse the readers.

Characters:
The characters are portrayed well.

Plot:
Overall, I love the plot. An alpha male being rude and a bully, an omega female lead who is a bit helpless but at the same time strong in her own way. It's a classic combo and works very well. I enjoyed the plot. It kept me hooked till the last chapter.

Grammar: 9/10
Though not a lot (only 1 or 2 places where I can actually pin point where it needs to be checked), but there were places where the grammar could be improved. I would suggest just giving it a re read to spot those areas.

Overall:
Overall, I enjoyed the story. The trope and the characters bring the book alive. Though I would suggest, since it's a wolf based book, to not classify it as paranormal, since it will cause confusion. Wattpad has a separate genre for wolf/vampire which may be a bit more useful in this scenario.

Thanks and I do hope you don't take any of this feedback negatively. The book was really good, but as a reviewer, I was paying extra attention trying to find places where you could improve.
