Author's spotlight:

My name is K. Thompson and I'm 25 years old. My love for vampires, witches, and werewolves started when I was a teenager. (Thanks to the Vampire Diaries!)
What motivates me to write? I overall enjoy creating characters that I will grow attatched to! I'm motivated by the idea of a reader using my writing as a sense of escape from reality!
What inspired me to write this book? Honestly I had intended on writing a vampire novel but one day the idea hit me to make her a witch. I fell in love with the idea of creating a character who succeeded even though despite her parent's wrong doings!

Review:

- Title: (5/5)

This title caught my attention, not only does it flow well, but it makes a work of fantasy and tells me what I'm getting into.

- Cover: (5/5)

That cover design is catching and honestly, I love it. What a very strong indication of magic. As a fantasy reader, I see that and am like: "Yep, magic, we're starting off very strong."

- Blurb: (4/5)

Very solid! You have room to flesh it out a bit more, but I do think this blurb is catching. It leaves the reader curious; what is she? What's going to happen? What are these answers we're missing?

- Grammar, Punctuation, Vocab: (13/15)

Extremely minor errors fixable, I didn't dock off virtually anything for this because you already mentioned some minor errors anyway.

- Worldbuilding: (9/10)

Your worldbuilding is amazing. See the specific comments. I really hope for some solid elaboration later too on the creatures, but I'm a sucker for lore.

- Plot development: (20/20)

Yeah full marks on this, I can't really see any good reason to dock for it. You follow through with the plot very well, and it's interesting.

- Character Development: (20/20):

Full marks on this as well, I really enjoyed how you developed those characters.

- Originality: (9/10)

Pretty nice original concept, it's got minor tropes I'm sure some readers would be bothered by but I personally love certain tropes and you did them very well.

- Enjoyment/hook: (10/10)

I'm adding this to my library and reading on for my own liking, so I think you got a hook. :)

- Summary: (95/100)

That's a solid A+ if I ever saw one. WELL DONE! I loved it! Wonderful writing voice, wonderful characters, and wonderful worldbuilding. That's all I have to say. I'm sorry I can't recommend many changes, but I honestly don't see many areas that need to improve. This is a solid story.
