Title: 4/5
»The title "Midnight Manor" effectively conveys a sense of mystery and intrigue, setting the stage for a story likely involving a dark, atmospheric setting (the manor) and potentially supernatural elements (midnight).
»It's evocative and captures the imagination, suggesting a tale of secrets and eerie occurrences.
»While "Midnight Manor" is fitting and descriptive, adding a nice subtile that has a touch of originality might enhance its appeal further.

Cover: 2.5/5
»The cover of "Midnight Manor" effectively sets a dark and mysterious tone with its haunted house imagery.
»The choice of artwork aligns well with the genre expectations of a supernatural mystery.
»However, the mismatched font and the partially obscured author's name detract from the overall professionalism and may confuse potential readers.
» I hope you can try to ensure that the font style, size, and color scheme are cohesive and appropriate for the genre (perhaps gothic or eerie).
»Make sure the author's name is clearly visible and integrated seamlessly into the design.
»Consider refining the layout to enhance visual impact and readability at different sizes or you could try out any graphic shop for a more attractive cover.

Blurb: 4/5
»The blurb for "Midnight Manor" effectively captures the essence of the story, introducing the mysterious setting and central conflicts involving supernatural occurrences and a murder mystery. It intrigues readers with the promise of secrets to be unraveled and hints of interpersonal drama.
»To further enhance the blurb, consider tightening the language for greater impact and flow, and you could clarify any ambiguities or complex plot points to make the blurb more accessible and engaging to a broader audience.

Characters: 7/10
»There are two main characters in the story. Alex and Emily. Emily, starts as a typical innocent protagonist but gains depth as she confronts the malevolent forces around her. On the other hand Alex is portrayed as protective and secretly in love with Emily.
»While Emily and Alex are central to the story, their motivations and inner conflicts could be more fully explored. For example, Alex's unspoken love for Emily and his protective instincts are clear, but delving deeper into his personal struggles and how they shape his actions would make him more relatable and complex.
»Damien is the other intriguing characters in the story. His transformation into the doll-boy and his backstory provide depth.
»On the other hand, characters like Lady Isabella and Cassandra hold significant potential but lack sufficient exploration. You could have provided a bit more insight into Lady Isabella's role and history. This would have further strengthed the narrative.

Plot: 8.5/10
»Dear Author, I personally feel that the plot of your book is its strongest asset.
»The plot begins with a strong hook - the mysterious town of Ravenswood and the ominous Midnight Manor set the stage for supernatural occurrences and dark secrets. This immediately captivates the reader's interest, promising a story filled with suspense and mystery.
»The introduction of the haunted doll and the malevolent spirit trapped within it adds a chilling dimension to the story. This supernatural element not only drives the plot forward but also creates an atmosphere of tension and foreboding.
»From the eerie whispers in Midnight Manor to the discovery of Damien's tragic backstory, the plot layers mysteries upon mysteries, gradually building towards a climactic resolution.
»But in some chapters, particularly those heavy on dialogue or exposition, feel disjointed from the narrative at time. Tighter pacing and clearer transitions between scenes would help with this.
»While your plot builds tension effectively,  but it does not ensure a satisfying climax. A climax is the most important thing in any story especially thriller stories, it ties together the various threads of the story. So, I suggest you to work on that, and present it with more intrigue.

Grammar and Vocabulary: 4.5/5
Your writing style sets a haunting and suspenseful atmosphere, which is suitable for the genre. However, there are moments where the pacing could be tighter, especially in dialogue-heavy scenes. The use of descriptive language to evoke emotions and set scenes is effective, but some passages could be streamlined for clarity.
Overall, the grammar and vocabulary are solid, contributing to a smooth reading experience. There are occasional minor errors and awkward phrasings that could be polished further, but they do not detract significantly from comprehension.

Enjoyment: 3/5
»The premise of your book, centered around supernatural elements and mysterious occurrences in Ravenswood and Midnight Manor, is inherently intriguing. This sets a strong foundation for capturing the reader's interest from the outset.
»However, there are areas where deeper emotional connections and more nuanced character interactions could heighten the reader's investment in the story.
»While the plot and suspenseful elements are strong, enhancing emotional connections between characters and readers could deepen enjoyment.
»Providing more introspective moments or exploring characters' vulnerabilities and growth could make their journeys more relatable and impactful.
