SapphirianJ82's Review:

Mafia Romance is one of my most favorite categories to read, so I was excited to come across Escaping Elio. The title is original; the only one out there, which is hard to do here on Wattpad. The book cover and book summary both match the plot perfectly; which unfolds from the beginning. The character development of both the main characters also begins to unfold between chapters 3-4 and the book is written so well that it flows effortlessly with only a few grammar issues here and there. 

My only main issue was originality and setting when it came to reading Escaping Elio. I think I've only read maybe two Mafia Romance where the setting wasn't centered solely in New York or Italy. When there are mafia scattered throughout the globe. Including countries like Japan, Russia, and even India. It's mind-blowing let me tell ya. But mostly beyond those two issues I thoroughly enjoyed my reading. And I can't wait to dive further into Elio's world. If you love mafia romance this book is for you and I highly recommend that you add this book to your reading list.

SapphirianJ82's Review:

It's not everyday that I come across a book that is as well written as Saving Michael. Even the title happens to be the only one of it's kind. Which is a hard task here on Wattpad let me tell ya. As far as the cover I would like to see more of the imagery that is so beautifully portrayed in the book itself. The font is however beautiful and fits the book description and plot perfectly. 

Even the grammar is on point with only a few issues randomly found here and there. As far as reader engagement this book gets a perfect score. The descriptive text of actions, dialogue and surroundings is remarkable. It was so easy for me to get completely emersed into the book so it felt as if I were the character myself. It was hard for me to put the book down. A must read for all.

Writix22's Review: The extract of the story in the blurb serves as a very effective hook to grab readers' attention. Attention to detail is impeccable, especially in sensitive scenes. This makes the story stand out. Minor spelling and grammar mistakes need to be corrected. The protagonist has room to grow. Your portrayal of such a sensitive issue with plenty of emotions and drama has made me love your story. It is a true contemporary romance.

Writix22's Review: Though the chapters are short, they are efficient in moving the story forward. With plenty of intriguing hints, the author managed to capture and hold onto the attention of the readers. A bit more description of the settings and surroundings, like the school and the house, would help the readers to imagine the mundane scenes better. Your usage of imagery deepens the connection of the readers with your story

Rising-Queen's Review: I am impressed by this book knowing that it's your first time writing something that too inspired by Jane Austen.

But since it's first time, I would like to advice you to change the blurb, it's not suitable at all believe me. Blurb is supposed to say the study contents of the book and you should add about it and not some thoughts and proceed by writing how readers will delve into the journey of two siblings. Of course I am sure, you will make it wonderful.

I saw a mistake in grammar that I have pointed out in the comment section because mentioning here is useless but the rest of your writing style and grammar are top notch.
