Now let's get on with the review!

1. The Title:
The title collaborates with the theme of the story as it kinda focuses on the adversities of falling in love amid the everyday abnormalities of the Supernatural world, so that's fine. But it is kinda long and I personally prefer short titles, but that's just my opinion, it totally depends on the author.
2. The Cover:
The cover is a bit too simple. Just text on a simple background is not too certain of luring in readers. Even though the font pops out from the background, still I think adding a bit of a foreground (image etc) should be good.
Note (for the author): You can see a few examples below of covers that you can use for your story_

If you like you can use either of them, or create a new one.
3. Concept:
The concept is always infinitely important when it comes to writing a story. As I have already reviewed a Bennett Sister story with a slightly similar concept, I was familiar with how things would go.
However, I believe that the main character should have much more significance in the story than just being Bonnie's elder sister having a messed up love life.
Yet, i'm pleased that people are focusing on writing about elder siblings instead of just writing about the naive younger sisters.
4. Review (includes Summary too):
I will try to summarize as much as I can without spoiling the story.
The story begins with an introduction to Scarlet Bennett, who is living in Chicago and focuses on her current situation when she had just had a breakup with her boyfriend Klaus. Story proceeds with her coming to Mystic Falls after a long time and being united with her friends and family.
Amid everything, Scarlet and Damon get closer to each other as they all are trying to deal with the problems of being surrounded by Supernaturals and thus the readers join Scarlet on a new journey of self discovery, secrets, leaving behind the past and facing fears with courage.
What I think:
Apart from a few grammatical errors, the story is good. But I would recommend the author to edit it as soon as possible. Scarlet (face claim: Mekia Cox) was written quite well as her sense of family values and her love for her sister was portrayed quite accurately.
The troubles Scarlet goes through due to Klaus and the insecurity she feels when Katherine comes to town is understandable and I give the author a thumbs up for portraying that.
The story line is interesting and even though it could do with a little editing here and there, still its a great read.

If you are looking for a story about overcoming the past and moving on from boyfriends that aren't worthy, then you will find this entertaining.
Keep up the good work and I am looking forward to reading your other books as well. Plus, I'm sorry for the long time it took me to post your review because I could just not manage Wattpad with studies since the past few weeks. I literally read the whole book in one go as I was on the bus coming home from my academy (because that is the only time I get for reading these days).
I would recommend you to edit it and try to slow down the pace, because while I was reading it seemed to move on a bit too quickly (even though it was great for me because I had to finish it in less time, still I think you should add more).
Otherwise, it is great and the effort you have put in the story truly shows your great potential. You might have a long way to go in the writing league but whatever happens, do not quit because then the world would lose an amazing writer with a lot of potential.
