Synopsis
Julia is a natural at her trade. She made herself a promise very early on that she would never be helpless again. She somehow gets herself into many assassination jobs and by the time she's nineteen, she's known all around the world as the best of the best. Everyone wants her, but she finds herself facing a very intriguing offer from the man who started her out on her path and she just can't turn it up. She retires just before her twentieth birthday and takes him up on his offer. Ace doesn't know any of this and thinks that she's simply another pretty face that his father is trying to set up with him. He's so sure that he can hate her but he finds himself disturbed by how hard it is. He finds her charm and intellect quite unnerving but quickly finds his walls crumbling around him. What will happen once they realize just how hard it is to stay away from each other?

The writing quality is much higher than most of the other things I scored it on, as writing First Person is a bit more difficult and it comes a bit disjointed here and there. Time seems to skip around a little too quickly, but that's personal taste. I know very little about the MC, she feels less established and more of a means to an end. I can tell she comes from an abusive family - but some scene and visuals might help a bit more. Things she looks to, something hinting at her financial status. Simply, I want to know more about the main character. It goes from abuse to training, to killing the abuser. What town is she from? Was she rich? Was she poor? When did her father start abusing her? Things of that nature.
A very good start! Well, I must say I'm not a fan of female lead but this is some good novel. Unexpected devlopment and interesting character growth... But I have to say you should be careful around the consequences of Julia's action. She killed a person without a care in the world, but she didn't really took care of the aftermath. Rimember that anyway you see it, she is the primary suspect for the murder... Anyway keep it up it is really intriguing. [img=update][img=update][img=update]

A beautiful story with compelling characters, though it can be a bit bloody for some people, the author breathes life into their characters with each word. The depth put into the characters makes them live in the mind. Overall this is a wonderful novel an would love to see where the author goes.
I love the story very much, though the paragraphs are a bit long and the synopsis is slightly hard to understand. You just need to make it simpler of than your synopsis of yours and make your paragraphs short and that will be all, most of it is amazing and has great potential to be popular. Hoping to get more chapters when I go back, good job fellow novelist!

Excellent writing dear author plot is moving smoothly. your a great story teller, the characters seem to be well thought out. The amount of detail put in every scene makes you realize how much effort did author put in
The writing quality is excellent. I'm not a fan of the bloodiness or the cursed words, but this story grabs attention. The author is an excellent storyteller.
I gotta say, the writing style is very comprehensive and the world the author has woven till now, draws you right in. Pair it up with a first person perspective and you feel all the thrill the lead experiences. Maybe just consider branching the long sentences so it's easier to follow. Good luck to the author with further developments.

Very interesting and cool story. The explanation is very on-point; (Do recommend spacing the paragraphs). I like the type of stories with a lot of violence, revenge, and badbooties; (I have to censor it). Very well done, author!

It is a fast paced work. The story moves forward fluidly. We have a weak to strong MC. Her desperation leads the story forward, justifying the title. I more curious about the next chapters. Author please update soon, I want to read more.
