Brilliant cover! Perfect for the genre and story idea and it's really creative and captivating.

Title and blurb: 10/10
I love the title. It's unique, gripping and a bit unnerving haha. The blurb is excellent! Every element was included and it successfully captures interest. Love the way it was written, it was very professional. Overall it's a good one and I think ninety percent of people that will read it would definitely want to read the story.

Introduction: 18/20
Perfect start. I love how you started off with the pov of the killer. It was really interesting getting to see things from his/her side. And it makes the whole mystery of the murders clearer and much more interesting for the readers who have all the knowledge that the characters don't have. I was really curious about what the engraved sign on the bodies meant. Great hook, brilliant start.

Mechanics: 10/10
Everything is on point. Grammar, punctuation and spelling is perfect. Dialogue punctuation too is also perfect. Paragraph spacing was done well. It's easier to read the story.

Plot: 4/5
And the mystery goes on. The more I read, the more curious I get. But that doesn't mean some questions I had at the beginning weren't answered haha. As I move on, it gets more intriguing. And I love the way the serious tone and the chill school setting helps to make the story even more captivating.

Originality: 7/10
When I read the blurb, I was like, I've seen something like this before. Well, not to say that it's not original. Basically everything has been used so I doubt anything can be a hundred percent different. Nevertheless, I think the idea for the story was really brilliant and creative. The turn of events, the characters, everything.

Writing style: 17/20
I really admire your writing style. It's of course not strange haha but it's something different. I adore the way you structure your sentences. It is a brilliant style.

Enjoyment: 18/20
Ahh I loved every part of the book. Every word, sentence, everything. It's a really captivating story and it has a very intriguing plot. Keep up the brilliant writing. And sorry for taking long for the review:)

Total: 88/100
