Oh no we can't slow down, we can't hold back.

Though you know we wish we could.

Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked.

Until we close our eyes for good.

YOUR COVER: (9/10) Honestly, it's gorgeous. It's intriguing and very professional looking. It also draws in the right audience, and it makes me want to read more. There also could be some improvements made, but only if you deem it absolutely necessary, considering it's already beautiful the way it is. I recommend using PicsArt to add filters or Phonto to play around the font.

YOUR TITLE: (10/10) I was extremely pleased with your title. Not only is it unique, but almost even has its own personality that does a wonderful job at pulling in new readers and setting it aside from the rest of the cliche books on Wattpad.

YOUR BLURB: (3/5) It has a song/lyrical rhythm that I think is catchy and short, and is easily better than the average blurb. However, while it's definitely mysterious, it doesn't pull me in. Remember to simplify things for your readers. Maybe throw in a little twist that might surprise your readers and make them want to click on your book just to find out why and how that is so. Your blurb leaves me thinking—yet so does a lot of books on Wattpad. Your blurb is great—but you could make it better than great. I have no doubt that you can achieve this; your writing skills are above average and with a little work, you can definitely make your blurb shine.

YOUR HOOK: (3/5) While your hook is grammatically accurate and loaded with sensory detail and beautiful descriptions, it doesn't really make me want to read more. Your writing is already beautiful—and starting out with why the cat was where she was, and what she was doing. Make your readers eager to know what her next move will be. Don't be afraid to mix in some personal emotions. Maybe she's feeling a little bored and lazy today, or filled to the brim with the thirst for revenge. Make your readers sympathize or root for her from your very first sentence.

YOUR GRAMMAR: (8/10) Upon reading your first chapter, I was unable to find many grammar mistakes. There were a few errors that were irregular (typos that I'll address later) but overall, your writing was extremely consistent and just gorgeous. There were a few places where commas were/were not used when they should/should not have been (again, I'll address that later). One thing I want to point out is sentence fragments. A sentence needs to have a subject and a verb. One example of an incorrect sentence would be: "I didn't go to school the other day. Because I was sick," while a correct sentence would be: "I didn't go to school the other day, because I was sick." If you look carefully through your chapters, you may find a few sentence fragments.
