First let's talk about the cover of the book. The cover I thought fits well with what you were trying to go with and matches with the theme of the book. But I did notice that your name in the corner of the cover was partly cut off. Not sure if you just zoom in and forgot to move it over or just never noticed it but I definitely think that it should be moved over just a bit more so people can see the full name. Other than that, it's fine.

Next is the summary of the book. The first bit of the summary I liked and thought was fine but the second part of it, I didn't. The reason being was that it felt a character introduction than a summary. A character introduction isn't bad by any means, it just felt unnecessary for it to be in the summary. Since you could have combined bits of it with the first half of the summary. For example, the summary could be something like this:

22 year old college student Hazel Pierson is living with her sister through difficult times while dealing with the loss of her parents. While going out one night with her best friend Cassey, she meets 25 year old Lucas Reed, a mysterious and powerful man in London. What lead to an embarrassing night for Hazel, may lead to something more as her and Lucas navigate the uncertainty and hardships ahead. But will they overcome it or will it tear them apart?

Now keep in mind that, that was just an example of what I felt could work for it, if you were to combine bits of the second half into the first half of the summary. Since it could maybe draw in more people than there being a character introduction as the second half of a summary.

Now onto the writing structure and grammatical errors. The writing structure was fine but I did notice a few grammatical errors while reading the first few chapters of the book. So I think it needs to be edited a bit more and then it should be fine.

Next is the pacing and plot of the story. The pacing and plot of the story I thought was fine and had definitely taken the time to introduce the characters and a bit of their background as well.

Finally let's talk about the settings and characters of the book. The settings could be described a bit more so there's more of a detailed description of what's happening other than just the characters. This could really help readers in seeing in what's going on in different scenes. So really take the time to describe settings as well and not just the characters. So next let's talk about characters. The characters were okay I guess. Since I only read the few chapters, I didn't know too much about them other than then what I already know from the dialogue and summary. Now, I don't know if we get to see more of their personalities as time goes on but it would have been nice to see one or two things that they like doing other than partying and whatnot. It would give them more depth and make them more interesting.

Overall, it's a solid story that needs a bit of editing but other than that, it's okay.

Thanks for letting me review your book.
