Hi, Elicia,

I hope you’ll consider reviewing my latest novel, and winner of the Literary Titan Golden Book Award, “Yuri & the Pig” (87,000 words [282 pages] published by Wild Wolf Publishing on September 1, 2023), a work of fiction based on the current war in Ukraine. However, the countries involved are fictitious, too.

Some excerpts from editorial reviews:
“C W Lovatt's storytelling is masterful…” ~ Readers’ Favorite
“Lovatt's novel is a literary gem …” ~ A Look Inside
“A genuinely thought-provoking novel, it beckons readers to reflect on the intricate dance of life, growth, and self-discovery.” ~ Literary Titan

The following is the blurb:

“From the best-selling author of the Charlie Smithers adventures.

A farmer and his pig set off on an extraordinary quest across war-torn Eastern Europe.

Entangled in a savage war, the country of Xoraina is fighting for its very existence; but to Yuri, a simple peasant from a remote mountain village, it seems all but certain that the invading Zlaimperians must ultimately prevail. Not that it is of any consequence to him, of course. In Yuri’s view, every form of government is equally bad, so it makes very little difference who holds the reins of power. Indeed, throughout time, the only things that have ever really mattered are that the soil be tilled, the cows milked, and the pigs shipped to market, all in a timely fashion.

But when an exorbitant new tax threatens that philosophy, he sets off with his pig across the war-ravaged land to the Capital in order to fight the injustice. In the process, their journey becomes a road to a terrible enlightenment, causing Yuri to question his deeply seated beliefs. But only when he and his pig find themselves placed squarely in destiny’s path is there any hope of those questions finding answers.”

If interested, please contact me at clovatt@xplornet.ca and I’ll arrange for you to receive an e-copy in the format you prefer.

Thank you for your time.

Iain Benson (iain_benson) | 8 comments I have a rom-crime book (yes, I invented a new genre :) )

Jack & Jill: Too Close to Home.
Blurb:
Six synchronised murders of trans women in five UK cities sees the London Met send up two detectives from their Hate Crime Division. The double homicide in Manchester sees DI Jack Ville assigned the case, but Jack has a career ending secret his former girlfriend and boss doesn't know. Jill. And Jill was in the club two hours before the murder. Sara, from the Hate Crime Division, likes Jack, and he likes her. As the two grow close and the body count rises, does he reveal Jill to her? And if he did, what would it mean to his future as a police officer in a systemically transphobic police force? And what if she likes Jill more? Jack's boss forces him to go undercover at a trans event, does he let Jill go and risk being outed? It looks like it will take Jill to solve this case. But can Jack take the risk? Either way, Jack is running out of time.
If you're interested, send me a message, I'll send you the eBook link (paperback isn't ready yet).

Kalibee Hello. I am looking for paranormal romance ARCSs. I have completed nearly 50 reviews. I review on Amazon, Good reads, and bookbub. I am looking for new authors to read.


message 6: by Gary (new)

Gary | 23 comments On May 7, I will release a new police thriller, Under the Banner of Valor. I’d love to send an ARC to anyone in this group willing to post a review or provide honest feedback directly to me.


If you like Robert Dugoni's Tracy Crosswhite series, Michael Connelly's Bosch, or Tana French's In the Woods, you'll love Under the Banner of Valor.

Valorie Dawes is a smart, compassionate cop who's not afraid to break some glass (ceilings) and kick some ass.


Not your typical police procedural, this fast-paced, character-driven mystery pits a young, tough, intuitive policewoman against a shadowy alliance of extremists whose chief weapons are violence and terror—and whose principal targets are pregnant women.

Advance readers describe it as "intense, emotional, and suspenseful."



If you'd be up for reviewing this book or sending feedback, please reply and provide contact info. I’ll set you up with an advance review copy in the ebook format of your choice.

Best regards,



Gary Corbin
Author, Valorie Dawes Thrillers
Under the Banner of Valor

Elicia Meairs (eliciameairs) | 5 comments HI!

I'm interested! My email is eliciasbookhaven@gmail.com


Michelle, The Book Critic (michellethebookcritic) | 10 comments Hi Elicia,

I’m a book reviewer, but I would like to forward a review opportunity from my author friend, Loris Owen (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...). You can contact her at hello@lorisowen.com

She is currently working on the US edit of her middle-grade literary fiction novel, 'The Ten Riddles of Eartha Quicksmith', published in the UK by Firefly Press. It is clean fiction, a fantasy action adventure for fans of Artemis Fowl and Harry Potter, and has been described as "Big Hero 6 meets Gravity Falls"!

Puzzles and riddles encourage critical thinking, and teamwork, empathy, family and friendships are important throughout. You can find out more at www.quicksmiths.com.

As she’s self-publishing in the US with no author presence there, and only has a small budget to do this, I'm really keen to help to spread the word to other reviewers!

She can send you a copy of the UK print (whether you are based in the UK or US) any time. The US print version won't be available for another month or so as she is still finalising illustrations and final touches.

If you are interested, please email Loris at hello@lorisowen.com! Let her know if you'd like the UK print or prefer to wait for the US print :)

If you are not based in the UK or US, let her know as well. I’m not entirely sure if she ships internationally, but you can always check! Her ebook will be ready to share in a few more weeks as well.

Thank you so much for your consideration! Please help spread the word if you can.

Best,
Michelle, The Book Critic

Hey, Elicia,

I emailed you about reviewing my sci-fi debut, but received a message saying your email wasn't working. I appreciate your offer.

A STRICT HIERARCHY. A VOW.

A stomach-churning hell or a better life.

Her freedom may cost more than she was born with, and they will collect.

What won't she pay?

the price of a beating heart book cover

Shakil Somani | 19 comments Hi Elicia,


My name's Shakil and I would like to tell you about my Young Adult, Sci-Fi novel - a comedic exploration of the oddities of female behaviour, from the male gaze.

In 'Womansplainer' we travel to a future Canada, where an outcast must become a hero to stop the end of all menkind.

Summary:
Coriatown has no crime or violence and it's always warm and bright. But, when a new danger threatens the peaceful town, they need a hero.

17-year-old Quinn is not a hero. He’s a freak, a loner, the only one of his kind and desperate to belong. He’s neither a fairy nor a vampire, he’s a ginger.

So, when the Babybirds deliver a mutilated baby and Quinn is blamed, he must brave the sharks, the crocs, and the unknown dangers of the Deadlands to find the truth, and that’s the easy part.

To save the town, he must enter a virtual reality world to unravel man's greatest mystery, woman.

But with monsters, gold diggers and insatiable bloodlust, is the game an even greater danger?

Eccentric Professor Shepperton Winstanley, has dedicated his life to helping young men. He’s the world's foremost expert on women, but what's he hiding?

Will Quinn and the sector chiefs be able to find the truth and save Coriatown or will they be womanized?

If you'd like to find out, let me know and I'll send you a link to the ARC (in ePUB/PDF/Mobi format).

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F8NDQ6FN

It's 490 pages, including a handy glossary of female terminology and is due to be released on 15th June. A review would be appreciated, especially close to this time.

Thank you for your consideration.

Luchin Silva | 8 comments I'm so excited that you're giving new writers a chance. Support from people like you is incredibly important to us. And I think I have a book you'll like.

Let me introduce you to The Heritor:

He couldn’t walk. He couldn’t fight. But the day he touched the invisible threads of the world… everything changed.

Oliver Santos always dreamed of becoming an anime hero—but nothing prepared him to inherit the power to hunt demons. When his mentor is murdered, Oliver discovers it wasn’t random—it was a message. Now he’s inherited the legacy of the Heritor, humanity’s deadliest executioner of supernatural creatures. As he trains and grows stronger, a web of missing teens, vampires, witches, shapeshifters, and secrets hidden in the city begins to unravel. And the truth is far more terrifying than he ever imagined.

Love explosive YA urban fantasy with powers that evolve, conspiracies, and high-stakes danger?

You can download it here: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/ajh5ep9ier

This is the book on Amazon: https://a.co/d/aCeAea6

And this is the book on Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

It's a new book, self-published just a week ago, so early reviews, like yours, will be of great importance.


message 12: by Shakil (new)

Shakil Somani | 19 comments Hi Readers,

In just a few weeks, I'll be releasing the first of my brainchildren out into the world. He's a satirical Sci-Fi about teens who play a VR videogame to learn crazy, funny lessons about women.

Blurb:
A genre-blending dystopian sci-fi satire about gender warfare and the search for acceptance.

The post-apocalypse is not what you've heard. Coriatown has no crime, no violence and no women. But it's not a utopia for all. When the Babybirds deliver a mutilated boy and Quinn - the only ginger in town - is blamed, he has no choice but to brave the crocs, the sharks and the perils of the Deadlands to find proof he's not the danger they think he is.

The only hope? A VR game created by the eccentric Professor Shepperton Winstanley, a self-proclaimed woman expert. Quinn must dive into 'Winstanley's World', to solve the puzzles, learn the lessons, fight the monsters and unravel man's greatest mystery, woman.

Womansplainer is a wild, offbeat satire of gender, society and video-games. For fans of Ready Player One and The Hunger Games, with a jolt of dark comedy and VR adventures.

Sound Interesting?

Sam Stone | 19 comments For Fans of High-Stakes Thrillers, Real-World Tactics, and Relentless Action

LOOKING FOR ARC READERS!!

Title- Between Love & Business
Author- Saraf Binte Faisal
Page count- 433
Format- PDF/EPUB
Copies available- No limit
Release date- 27. August. 2025

Tropes-
Young lovers to strangers to business rivals
business rivals to lovers
forced proximity
fierce FMC
Groveling
Spicy and HEA

Blurb-

Damien
I never wanted to leave her.
Selene was my everything—the girl who saw the real me beneath the name, the wealth, the family legacy. But love was never enough in a world like mine. I had enemies, expectations, and a future carved out in blood and betrayal. Staying would have meant dragging her into a life she had no place in, so I did the only thing I could to keep her safe.
I walked away.
Now, eight years later, she is no longer the girl I left behind. Selene Lancaster stands before me as my rival, a woman who wields power and ambition like a weapon, and the fire in her eyes tells me she will never forgive me.
But the problem is—I never stopped wanting her. And this time, I am not leaving.



Selene
I should hate him. I do hate him. Damien Calloway took everything from me—our dream, our future—and turned it into a battlefield. He betrayed me once, and I won’t let him do it again. Now he’s the CEO of a company that’s been built on my pain, my loss, and I’ve spent years sharpening my claws, waiting for the day I can take him down.
But everything’s changed. The rivalry, the anger, the ambition—it’s all still there. But so is the attraction, the dangerous pull I can’t seem to ignore. He’s still the same arrogant, irresistible man I once knew, and every encounter only proves that the lines between hate and desire are dangerously thin.
I won’t let him win. Not in business, not in my heart. But playing this game with him might be the biggest mistake of my life.
