FREE BOOKS for Book lovers: ARC & Polished Manuscript Readers for Authors discussion

Looking for any ARCs (or any books in need of reviews) with themes surrounding fantasy, romance, or a good historical fiction period drama type beat (but heavy on the fantasy)! Preferred formats are EPUBs or physical copies! I am trying to startup a 'booktok' account, but it is basically nonexistent, so I hope to get it moving with some fresh material (the account is @booksandsprings)! I can totally work with you to figure out the best way to share and swap information! If possible, it would be great if you could leave a short synopsis so I can get a grasp of the book and make sure I would enjoy reading it!

Hello Kiera,

I have a cozy mystery/historical fantasy you might enjoy it. Here’s a brief description:

An heiress, a tiger, an artificial arm, a hatbox of stolen orchids: each one is a vine in the tangle of Opal Morris's life. As she begins to discover how they all connect, she will find herself re-evaluating not only her botanical studies, but her whole life.
This novella, set in an alternative Edwardian England, will be a treat for fans of cozy mysteries and historical fantasy alike.

If this sounds interesting to you, email me at btznvntATgmailDOTcom and I’ll send you an ePub.

Hi Kiera! Are you still interested in ARCs? If so, I have a middle grade fantasy coming out next week. It's about 40K words and I still have a few ARC copies left.

Here's the blurb:

Can this young hunter find the druid in time to save his village?

For as long as he could remember, Eamon has wanted to become a hunter like his father. Now that he is twelve, he can finally go on his solo hunt to show he is ready. As the only person in his village ever to kill a moose, he has a good chance. But when he seeks assistance returning to the village, the hunters decide he should seek apprenticeship elsewhere.

Crestfallen, Eamon waits for his chance to prove himself to the hunters. When a mysterious darkness threatens to destroy his village, he sees his chance.

Only the Arctic Druid can rid the land of the darkness, but reaching him involves crossing the Barren Plains and Do’gorym Sea. No one wants to make the journey to seek his help. Some villagers don’t believe the darkness is a threat. Others doubt the druid even exists. Those who do fear they won’t survive the journey.

Eamon alone believes it’s possible. But will he be in time?

If you're interested, feel free to DM me!

Hey, Kiera,

Thanks for the offer. Reading and reviewing our books is helpful.

Be well,

Hi Kiera,


I am working with indie poet Nick Calder to help create some buzz around his new illustrated poetry collection "Glass and Gravel" that comes out on August 1st!

"Glass and Gravel" is a vivid, visceral, very raw, dark and lyrical exploration into deeply emotional themes such as identity, childhood trauma, self-reliance, and generational conflict. The author experiments heavily with the visual form and structure of the poems as he fragments them and expands them onto multiple pages. A lot of the poems are also accompanied by beautiful illustrations as a way to amplify the emotional impact of the collection.

Even if you do not read or like poetry, this book might be for you! I have found that people gravitate towards it because it is so non-traditional in style and it provides a space for all readers! It is so important to support self-published and indie authors!

Here is the free ARC:

I hope you give this book a chance! Happy reading!

Warmly,
Tereza

Hi!
I'm a debut romance author. My book is coming out Aug. 30 2025.

For the month of July I would like to give my book away for free. I would appreciate an honest review, but even that is optional.

If you are interested here is a download link. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vq8s...

The book is 'The Governor's Daughter : A Contemporary Romance about Truth, Freedom, Beauty and Love' by Parker Williamson

Camilla Reyes was raised with all the qualities the United States expects from a Pacific territory: beauty, wealth, and obedience. But when she publicly champions independence for her homeland of Hangua, defying her father—the island's powerful governor—the colony erupts in chaos. To contain the fallout, Camilla is forced into an arranged marriage.

Desperate to escape, Camilla strikes a deal with the last man she'd ever trust: Senator Julian Oz, the sharp-tongued politician who humiliated her on live television. Experienced and ruthlessly disciplined, Julian sees opportunity in Camilla as dangerous attraction ignites between them—under his tutelage, they go from enemies to lovers. To survive, she must become the perfect partner to a man who’s either using her… or falling for her.

This puts her on a collision course with Mari Cruz—Camilla’s best friend. From friend to lover, now lover to enemy, they shared one kiss too many before Camilla’s engagement to Julian shattered everything. As tensions escalate between the United States and China, the two women who once shared everything now face each other on opposite sides of Hangua's most divisive fight: statehood or independence—a battle that will determine their island's fate.

On Hangua, politics is legacy, love is currency, and betrayal is the price of freedom.

For fans of Enemies to Lovers, Arranged Marriages, Fake Engagements, Sapphic Love, Political Romance and Love Triangles.

Hi, do you like urban fantasy? I'm looking for readers for my 3rd book in the series. I'm also offering to send the first two (one at a time) so you can get caught up. Which means, I'd understand if your review comes a little later than launch day.

Here's the blurb:
Since Hally’s fated-friend, Nolan, upended her exile mere months ago, they’ve saved the elven realm from a ruthless mage, a deadly curse, and a war with the fae. Now terrorists have struck the elven capital and the royals are being held hostage. It’s Hally and Nolan to the rescue, again.
Despite a family crisis in Paris, they’re forced to drop everything and scramble for an open portal as the network collapses. Every victory has a cost and as secrets surface and sacrifices mount, Hally and Nolan must ask themselves: can they save the realm without losing each other?
*picture on form is not part of the cover. Cover reveal will be August 23th.
