Let's get into it!

☁first impressions (24/25): Girl. I am fucking IN LOVE with your cover. It almost looks like a Vogue magazine cover or something... and I love how you made a theme out of it with the rest of your books. It's probably one of the most aesthetically pleasing sets I've ever seen, so I applaud whoever made it, whether it's you or someone else. It's also great that I can see who is "starring" in the fanfic, including your username and the title clearly on the cover. Though there are many books that share that title, your book comes up as one of the first people, which is really great, because it obviously means you're doing something right that the algorithm is picking up. Lastly, the description hooks me RIGHT AWAY. It's so short, yet I want to know more the instant I read it. However, I think you can add a few sentences about what the story will entail to really draw in readers more. Overall, this is so attractive and well put-together that I'm already in a good mood starting out lol. AKA, I'LL HAVE MANY NICE THINGS TO SAY!

☁grammar & sentence structure (14.5/15): the grammar is spot-on for almost everything. The only thing I caught was misuse of commas and periods inside quotations and just minor things like that. But since it didn't come up that much, it's really not that big of a deal. The sentence structures were varied and diverse, and this made the book very pleasing to read. You utilized both compound and simple sentences so that they wove together to create paragraphs that flowed perfectly.

☁plot (29/30): I've seen the plot before, but I think you put so many unique elements in it that I can honestly look over it without a problem. The characters (which I will get into) are all diverse and have their own voices, and that's a thing that a lot of authors, even PUBLISHED AUTHORS, struggle with. The writing style really holds everything together as the glue for this story. I feel like each chapter is very well thought out and you really planned the story out before writing it instead of going along and playing it by ear or something. It captivated me all the way to the end. I never thought there was a place where I wanted to put the book down. There is constantly something going on that makes me want to keep reading ,and that is so important for the reader to be hooked on your story. Terrific.

☁characters (20/20): So, I literally don't know ANYTHING about the bands that you have in this fanfic, but I felt like I fell in love with them while I read this book. Koeun is likable from the very start, with her relatable inner dialogue and you make the fact that people like her a good quality and not a quality that makes me feel detached from the character. Mark seems like a baddie right when we meet him, and I love it. He seems hardened and professional, and I can see how their romance would be like.. fire and ice. An explosion. The supporting characters aren't there simply to further the main characters' character arcs, which I love. They're their own characters and get adequate screen time, and I feel like I bonded with them as well. I mentioned this in the plot section, but I love how they have their own ways of talking. A lot of authors struggle to have a unique voice for their characters and make them stand out from a crowd, and you did exactly that. Amazing job!

☁writing style (18/20): This writing style really packs a punch. That's legit the first thing I thought of. Everything I read feels like it's punching me in the gut in the best way possible. The action scenes are full of adrenaline, and the dialogue flows really nicely and makes the story float along. I think this writing style, however, can use more detail. I say that about A LOT of books on Tsuki, but I genuinely believe it. While it is almost flawless already, and though there doesn't have to be an enormous amount, detail is crucial for a writing style like this. Readers want to know WHY they feel the things that they do, and describing little things like what's going on around the characters is a perfect way to do that.

☁flow (10/10): I literally have nothing to say other than the fact that it's perfect. As I mentioned before, the sentence structures you utilize in the text really helps everything flow together. Not only this, but the pacing of every event doesn't feel rushed nor slow. When there is action, you use the right vocabulary to make the audience feel the adrenaline rush. When there is a lull period, it always feels upbeat and doesn't feel slow. The chapters always end on a natural note, and transitions are used sparingly without jarring beginnings to the next scene.

☁total score: 115.5/120 or 96.3%!

Perfection!

☁optional advice nook: add a couple of more sentences for the summary. Fix the minor grammar mistakes and just read over your text for any holes you might find. Add more detail while you're at it!

☁song nook: Here are some songs I thought of while reading this! I was thinking of a lot of minor-key songs that reflected the danger of the missions they were in and their opposing sides... I guess things that reminded me of a Romeo-and-Juliet romance! I hope you enjoy!

♔Love Shot by EXO♔

♔Best Mistake by Ariana Grande♔

♔Promises by Cheat Codes ft. Demi Lovato♔
(an absolute bop so I HAD to add it in here)

♔On My Mind by Ellie Goulding♔

♔Going Crazy by EXO♔

☁summary: I absolutely loved this book, and I think I'll definitely be going over it after this review to read it from more of an audience's perspective so I can enjoy it more thoroughly. This was a classic storyline executed so well, from the unique characters to how they all worked together to pull off the perfect plot and at the same time accentuate your talents as an author. I can tell this pulls in a lot of different people, as it should. It's a perfect read for the casual reader or the more devoted reader. Chapter lengths are perfect for non-committals (me omg) but still perfect for a binge-read. Such a good job overall.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK, EVERYONE! If you like action and a forbidden love type of vibe in the romance, this is perfect for you. I was hooked from the first sentence, and I just absolutely fell in love with it. Please consider giving it a read in the future, or actually, RIGHT NOW.

Aaaand... that's it for the review! Comments, questions, concerns, please let me know. I'm really sorry this took a bit longer to complete than the others. 1 more book review to go before round 2! Can't wait!
