Book name:- The Vanishing Girls of Willow Creek

Title(10/10)

I liked the title, it's a very apt no-nonsense title. Besides, it attracts the readers to the book too. Great job!

Cover(8.5/10)

It's an eye-catching, mysterious cover but it would've been better if tried.

Blurb(9.5/10)

After reading the blurb, I just wanted to find out about the mystery and jumped right into the book. Excellent job, was fascinating!!!

Plot & Flow(17/20)

The prologue was a bomb!!!!! I loved every part of it. The mystery, the secrets, the stalker everything was like a puzzle. I didn't feel bored because every chapter had something unique to offer. The book surely kept me hooked till the last. Though we know the history of the town, there are so many questions that are left unanswered especially after reading the last chapter, my mind is haywire thinking about various possibilities. I hope all those will be answered in book 2. The flow is apt, neither too fast nor too slow.

Dialogue & Expression(8/10)

The dialogues were on point and I could just feel some characters and what was their thought process in certain scenes. The part where Miranda Hutchins was kidnapped and how Harley felt about it, it was so relatable. The friendship between Harley and Jon was so so so beautiful and cherishing. Also with all the creepy vibes, Mr Haggerty gave off, made me quite suspicious.

Grammar, Spelling & Typo(8/10)

The grammar and spelling were on point. But there were a few typos in some chapters. I think you should get the story proofread.

Creativity & Originality(10/10)

The creativity was bang on. All the efforts to make the story interesting were well paid off. This is my first time reading crime/suspense fiction on a cult. I haven't read any story on missing so many people, especially women before and I'm quite impressed.

Overall Appeal(18/20)

Everything was engrossing from the characters to their description to the plot and flow of the story. I was hooked. Although many secrets are still not unfolded, still the story had me gripped.

Total Score:- 89/100

Can't wait to read the sequel.
Wishing you all the very best for the future!! 😊✨
