Authors & Reviewers discussion

Hello everyone, I'm always looking for new books to read. I'm willing to give a free, honest review in exchange for free books. I'm interested in reading almost anything as far as genres including, but not limited to, fantasy, sci-fi, mystery/thriller, YA, etc. I have a blog that I post as much as I can and I would be willing to post reviews on Goodreads and Amazon if necessary. Please send me a direct message on Goodreads if anyone has a book they wish me to read in exchange for an honest review.

Hi Gabrielle,
I want to know if you are interested in reviewing children's books? You can PM me if you are. Thanks.

Hi Gabrielle - I sent you a private message. :-)

Hello Gabrielle,
I would very much like to have a review from you. I have written a series of four science fiction/fantasy books for juvenile readers which I believe will appeal to teen readers as well. If you are interested, you can check out the first three on Goodreads or Amazon.com. (The fourth will be published in the next week or so.) I will be happy to send you a PDF file of any of the four.
Thanks for your time.

Hi Gabrielle, I am willing to send a PDF for a review on The Sylph's Tale: The Sylph's Tale
Here is more information:

The Sylph’s Tale
Available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Sylphs-Tale-Im...

Available on: Books2Read: https://www.books2read.com/u/mBM76N

(Warning: This story contains sexual elements that might not sit well with the average reader)
A story of love, discovery, and magic: In pre-historical times, a young girl escapes from a barbarian ritual, only to encounter an angel who rescues her. This mystical being falls in love with her and, together, they modify the culture and habits of her rudimentary society.

The Sylph’s Tale, Synopsis: The Sylph’s Tale introduces Ayekah and Haya and involves three distinct transitions.
After witnessing earth's evolution and creation of humankind, the Archangel watches humans develop and engorge the tree of life, it - an angel has no gender - wonders how to be a mortal must feel.

During the 6th millennium BC, into the Archangel’s earthly paradise runs a young woman fleeing a coming of age ritual. She wants a child but not by force. It wants to protect her, but its decree is to witness and not interfere with humans. Compelled by compassion and awe for the girl it travels to the City of Light to plead for mortality, willing to endure the pains of life and death. The Almighty denies it humanity but a voice commands, “Take your Eve” and it is damned to be an eternal without a soul; a Sylph named Ayekah.

Now in a male form, for his beloved Haya, he makes an Eden but starts to be aware of her unusual powers. Maybe she willed him to where she could find him? Despite apprehension her clan accepts Ayekah and with his guidance they flourish. From her and other virgins are born the first generations of angel/humans. Haya lives for one hundred years.

After her death, when not with her in her crypt, Ayekah traverses the world as a male and female experiencing sins and sages until he seduces other angels into intimacy with women. From them rise a master race. The Almighty decides to wipe out the offspring of the “sons of Gods” and "daughters of men." Ayekah howls until the Two-Headed Dragon of Eternity wakes and saves some angel/human brethren.

Ayaka returns to Haya's crypt until the 19thth century when a voice just like hers says: “Ayekah it is time.”

Short Reviews:
From a Writers Online Advanced Novel Writers' Workshop when I first worked on the entire series, our instructor, Carol Davis Luce wrote: “Potential for a great work of fiction, gripping; wonderful imagery; the writing is lyrical, provocative, and quite professional; Ayekah the Angel of Light makes for a compelling narrator as well as the main protagonist.

From fellow students: “Characters for readers to follow; interesting premise hooks the reader; wonderful way of putting across the surreal; a literary fantasy; Ayekah is hypnotic; blend of drama and mysticism.”

An interesting tale! I thought the romance was intriguing with the magic world. I found myself really caught up in the heroine's life and what she was going to do with her world turned upside down. The hero I liked, but wasn't as much invested in. I'd like to get to know him more in the next book!

I want to keep reading.
ByNichole S.on November 25, 2017
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. If you don't like a book with religious stuff in it than this isn't a book for you. I'm not particularly interested in books like this but it had just enough paranormal and great character that I like the book. I think the next books seem to be heading into more of a paranormal instead of religious writing. I want to read the next book to see where this is heading.

Unique insight into the mystical
ByJoAnnon November 25, 2017
I received a copy as a gift.
However, I would like to review:
This a wonderful unique view (at least to me) of the mystical life surrounding our nature. The imagery is remarkable and each paragraph pulls me forward to read more and more. First person narrative seemed to make me feel that it was almost real and not fiction. I eagerly look forward to Book II

I Once Was Lost, But Now I’m Found: Daisy and the Rescue of the OAS Dogs, by Laura Koerber


I Once Was Lost, But Now I’m Found, is a narrative of the rescue of 124 dogs from the Olympic Animal Sanctuary, a hoarding situation in Forks, Washington. The rescue took several years and included small town political corruption, intimidation, protests, assault, lawsuits, and an attempt by the owner to run away with the dogs jammed into a semi truck. It was the largest dog rescue in the US to be carried out without support of local government.

The book is written for people who are not aware of the OAS rescue and who have an interest in rescue issues. The biography of one dog, Daisy, is used as vehicle for informing readers about hoarders, failed rescues, law enforcement issues, trainers and behaviorists, and actions people can take when they become aware of abuse or neglect. The book is heavily illustrated with photos from the police file and other sources.

It is available at Amazon as a paperback and as a Kindle download. The ASIN is B075FWWG73.

I would be delighted to send you either a free ebook or a hardcopy.
LKoerber889@aol.com All of the proceeds I make from sales are donated to dog rescues. Thank you. Laura

Hi Gabrielle,
I am looking for a review for my fantasy novel Pangaea; the Sunslinger Pangaea; the Sunslinger. Looking to see if you are interested.

Lyonesse exists a lawless city under constant siege by malicious crime lords. It is a nexus point between Pangaea’s underworld and its elite, delivering both the best and the worst Pangaea has to offer a broken people. No one, whether Highbourne or Low, whether mortal or High Immortal, can escape the city’s darkness once it takes hold.
In that darkness a young Cougar seeks to shine a small light by helping those less fortunate. And with some luck, atone for past sins committed out of inexperience.
Her protector; an Elf whose past has left him defeated and whose boss seeks only to keep them both under his heel.
A terrible accident can either set them both free or see them forever ensnared, or worse…dead.

“Every now and then a Ranger, near the end of his life or edge of her sanity, enters Lyonesse in a last-ditch effort to bring a small measure of hope to the hopeless.
Predictably, their life span is short and violent.”

Hi, Gabrielle. If you are still seeking books to review, I would like a book review for any of my four children's books. Thanks.

Hey Gabrielle, I'd love if you read my debut crime thriller NOBODY MOVE. It's not officially out until September, but you can download it for free right now on NetGalley ( https://www.netgalley.com/catalog/boo... ). I'd love if you read it :)

"If you can't watch Pulp Fiction or Kill Bill or even the Italian Job or a spaghetti western or two enough times, then this is the crime fiction novel for you. With nods to all the great pulp movies of the last few decades, Nobody Move is a fast-moving, rocking thriller set among the neon lights of Los Angeles. It's filled with goofball hoods, hitmen, losers on the run, strip club princesses, cowboys quoting biblical passages and antsy for vengeance, bags of loot, car chases through the badlands of concrete, gun battles, knife battles, hopeless love, and, of course, the getaway driver who thrills to blast Pantera at high volume as he corners and tears out." —Goodreads top #100 reviewer, DaveonGoodreads

Eddie Vegas made a terrible mistake. Now he has to pay the price.

After a botched debt collection turned double murder, Eddie splits, desperate to avoid his employer, notorious L.A. crime boss Saul Benedict, and his men (and Eddie’s ex-partners), Floyd and Sawyer, as well as the police. Soon he becomes entangled with the clever and beautiful Dakota, a Native American woman fresh in the City of Angels to find her missing friend—someone Eddie might know something about. Meanwhile in Texas, ex-assassin Rufus, seeking vengeance for his murdered brother, takes up his beloved daggers one final time and begins the long drive to L.A. When the bodies begin to mount, Detective Alison Lockley’s hunt for the killers becomes increasingly urgent. As paths cross, confusion ensues, and no one’s entirely sure who’s after who. But one thing is clear: They’re not all getting out of this alive.

As much a love letter to neo-noir cinema and L.A. as it is satire, the first book in the Angel City novels is a lightning-speed crime thriller equal parts Elmore Leonard and Quentin Tarantino.

My new novel--literary fiction with a thriller element--has just been released.

Here is an overview of the story:

Two moms, Maddie and Al, wake up one cold morning in March in a run-down motel in Weehawken, NJ thinking they have finally found safety after a cross-country escape from their baby’s manipulative biological father. But they soon discover that the state’s top hostage negotiator--and his personal four-man SWAT team--surround their room.

IMMACULATE CONCEPTION takes you to the inner core of two unique women desperate to keep their baby at all costs and provide him with the secure, protected, happy childhood neither of them had. This well-crafted story takes you from the drama of the present, to the tragic scarring of childhood past, to the joyful connection the two make as adults, then back to the present and its emotional closure to this passionate journey of two partners seeking a peaceful life together as a family.

Maddie and Al show us how important it is to protect our children at all costs and how valiantly they’re willing to fight to overcome the deep-rooted effects of early abuse.

I have free copies available for potential reviewers in Mobi, E-Pub, and PDF formats.



I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Gabrielle

I write easy-read love stories, mostly YA.

I'm hoping you would review my YA Sci-Fi Romance "Save Yourself". It will be released on 1st June 2019.

Here is a short blurb:
"Dr. Laney Carter is a Nobel-prize-winning Physicist with a groundbreaking invention for quantum inter-dimension travel. Two months ago, she disappeared. So did the prototype.

So, why are there government trackers hunting down seventeen-year old average high school student Laney Carter in this parallel universe? She's totally not a genius, but maybe she'll figure it out in time. Before all the worlds end. Or before they manage to delete her from existence."

Thanks for your time.

I would be interested in a book review on your blog. My book falls in the category of metaphysical fiction, it is titled Awakening Cocijo. I would be more than happy to provide you with mobi an/or PDF
