Cover 1.5/2 :

I like the small details like the dirty messed up shoes. It's a great cover for a mystery book. There's one thing though. The text is not visible clearly. I had to adjust my glasses and look closely which is not a good thing. I suggest you change the fonts and the colour. Also even if I looked at the book cover I wouldn't want to just read it as it would be my second or third priority. I hope you get my point here.

Title: 2/2

Pretty interesting and simple. I recalled the book 'The girl in yellow boots' which revolved around mysterious incidents as well. I didn't find anything complex here which was a good thing.

Summary: 2/5
It was really short. Like really short. I suggest you include more details about the plot. You can use quotes from your book or a dialogue to enhance the summary. It should be eye catching. Though some people would not judge a book by it's cover (like me), the summary put me off. I don't want people to ignore your book if you're a great writer. I've read horrible books with awesome covers getting millions of reads and comments while good deserving books only have few reads. Why is that? The cover, the content and the way you get yourself out into the world. Interacting with people really helps.

Ok sorry I'm diverting from the topic. So to improve your summary I suggest you watch more YouTube videos to get a hang of it. Especially if it's a Mystery-thriller genre.

Plot: 3/5

Now in the first chapter, the first paragraph didn't really hook me onto it. You should describe more and more. Every person is different but for me a good description really helps visualizing.

How to improve your first paragraph?
Here is an example-

I loved rain. The whispering hum as sheets of precipitation dripped onto the water-forsaken ground, the often unanticipated flashes of lightning or the rolls of ominous thunder. I enjoyed the rains with a sky in which the milky clouds hid the bright sun, suggesting the arrival of rainy days. A puddle-filled playground, and an elementary school down the street, all brought a smile on my face to this day because that's where I met Evan...

You get an idea here about what the condition is, the place is, what the mc feels. Everything in one paragraph.

In the second paragraph, the sentences were sooooooo long (sorry for exaggerating) and rushed. Cut them short and try to add more descriptions. Their physical appearance, the way they move blah blah blah.

Punctuation: 4/5

Apart from commas and periods there were no errors. Keep it up!

Dialogues: 5/5

I freaking love it! They seem natural and flowing without any sort of an effort. Everyone has some sort of an ability while writing a book and yours is 'Dialogue'. I was so happy that I couldn't consume my excitement to tell you this thing.

I'm sure that with a good EDITOR you can reach great heights!!

All the best!

This book is highly recommended regardless of the grammatical errors!

Your book has made it to my reading list!!!!!
