The cover is beautiful and aesthetic, while the title is unique in a way that captures my attention. As for the blurb, I love how it is written in a rather poetic manner. It also successfully conveys a dark-ish vigilante and finding-a-new-family vibe that is portrayed throughout the cover, title and the chapters I read.The first three chapters do a good job building up Aurora's character and her relationship with the people around her. Everyone in the book, from Aurora to her classmate to everyone in her family, has a distinct personality with well-crafted, natural dialogues. Also, her mother makes me so, so furious! The third chapter ends with a cool twist, transiting readers into the real plot of the book. Overall, the pacing is good, the characters are believable, and the writing style is clear and easy to read. Definitely a book I will continue reading.

The title is good, but the cover doesn't really connect. It would be more effective if you sought out a design that gives the vibe of an action thriller, since someone is watching your main character, maybe a mysterious face? There are many amazing cover shops on wattpad, if you want, I can recommend a few. The second portion of the blurb that's focused on the character hooked me tremendously. The first half is unnecessary and long. I advise cutting it. The dialogue is punctuated properly, besides having a few instances of actions next to someone else's dialogue, everything was quite good. There were no visible errors that I could see. Aurora is a sheltered girl with a loving father and brothers, but an overbearing mother and annoying younger sister who ends up getting involved with some thieves. As someone who generally doesn't like high-school centered stories, I loved this one. The family dynamics and lead up to the inciting incident are very well done. The characters have to be my favorite part. Each one was unique and full of life. The dynamics were *chiefs kiss*. Honestly, the author has fleshed them out really well. There is lacking imagery in quite a few places, but when it's present it is well-done. I was quite immersed in the story and couldn't put it down. The voice is absolutely distinct. Overall, I loved it. It reminds me of the works of one of my favorite published authors, Ally Carter. This was a pleasant surprise and I will certainly be reading more of it after the awards in my free time.
