Nicole | 1 comments Hello, I’m currently on the search for some new ARCs. Usually I choose fantasy types, but I’m open to any. I post my reviews on Amazon & Goodreads, and if I have time I make TikTok’s about them. As long as everything goes ok, I can usually have ARCs read in a couple days!
Can’t wait to see all the new books you have to offer!

Hi,

I'm looking for ARC readers for my debut novel The False Pawn.

The story follows a woman, Anthea Clark, who, upon turning 30, finds herself overwhelmed, stressed, and slightly depressed as she struggles to maintain control over her everyday life. However, her world is turned upside down when she is thrust into a new realm where trust is a luxury she cannot afford, and humans are relegated to second-class status.
In the blink of an eye, Anthea is whisked away from all she knows and plunged into the treacherous world of court politics.
Captured by two enigmatic Elven princes in a world on the brink of war, Anthea must summon all her cunning and resilience to survive.

This is the first book in a three book series.
If you enjoy reluctant allies, deception, slow burn romance, slight groveling, and a bit of spice. Then this might be for you.

If this is something you would be interested in, you can get the ARC from here: https://booksirens.com/book/WPR1JQA/B...

Serena Stoll | 38 comments Hi Nicole,

I am currently looking for ARC Readers for my new Romantasy series. It is a college level magical academy series that takes some inspiration from Otome style games. Readers can explore the series by reading through one suitor, or all four, depending on their personal trope and types. The series is a 3 book arch (3 books per suitor).

Feel free to message or send an email to serena.stoll.author@gmail.com if you're interested.

Prelude of Fire: The Gailean Quartet, Book 1

Hello there!! I'm an author of a YA epic fantasy series. Previously published, but I had to leave the publisher last year due to an unfortunate negative experience. So, like my characters, I'm on a quest! I'll be republishing later this year and am questing for early readers for my ARC for Book 1, Prelude of Fire.

Prelude of Fire has found family, a good vs. evil quest, emotional twists and turns, and elemental and musical magic. One reader says it's like "if Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings had a baby."

ARC is available in PDF, Epub, and Mobi.

If you're interested in helping me out, drop a comment or message me here directly. I appreciate any help I can get for a successful relaunch. Thanks for considering!

Here's the blurb to help you decide if you're interested:

A desperate mission. Sinister sorcery. Can she find the seven prism shards to stop the world from being destroyed?

Ashlai, a young Fyre mage who can harness powers of flame from the sun, yearns to know about her kin. Her adoptive elven father refuses to let her travel abroad with her brother, and she despairs of ever knowing who she really is. But when the new king’s vicious spell attacks her forest home, she flees toward that unknown past—and an uncertain destiny—guided only by the strange melody in her head and a piece of broken prism.

Determined to save the land from the enchanted drought burning everything in its path, Ashlai searches for six other magical fragments to overthrow the ruthless king. With the help of a shape-shifting thief, two squabbling bards, and a snarky water elf, she races toward a perilous confrontation…and a life-changing truth.

Can Ashlai fight fire with fire to defeat the devastating spell before it consumes the entire land? And can she survive the secrets she discovers without losing her new friends, her family, and even herself?

Prelude of Fire is the thrilling first book in The Gailean Quartet YA epic fantasy series. Featuring a diverse cast, high-stakes quests, and music melded with magic, you’ll love Schulze’s emotional journey.

Read Prelude of Fire to ignite destiny today!

Greetings, Nicole,

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

Parker Williamson (parkerwilliamson) | 24 comments 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.

Hello, I published the first volume of the series inspired by a real character, Raimondello Orsini del Balzo, set in the Italian Middle Ages. It's a historical adventure novel. I would need honest reviews to help it grow. Would you help me?

Greetings Lady Nicole :-). My Publisher has a new Canadiana set coming out - one book for each Province, each by a Canadian author from that Province. This set is Canadiana Paranormal, with every book based on possibly strange events that acftually happened in that Province. My Evil Publisher(tm) decided I was doing New Brunswick. Might you be interested? Here's the ARC email I'm sending out:

ARC (Advance Review Copy) - TWICE BORN - Author, Graeme Smith, Publisher, BOOKS WE LOVE, release date October 2025

*****

There should have been thunder. There should have been lightning tearing the skies and the very heavens weeping. There should have been portents and comets and demons of fire riding skeletal horses of ice-white bone—but if there had been, this would have been a movie. Probably with very artistic lens flare. So there wasn’t. There was a cottage. And a future I was going to make damn sure never happened.
Once upon a time...

*****

Ahem 🙂. Let me start again (Blush).

So, truly, that thing up there? It's the blurb for my next book - TWICE BORN. And, like many stories, there's a story behind it. Because one day, my Publisher (BOOKS WE LOVE), sent me an email. Every now and again they do a Canadiana series. One book from each Province, each by a Canadian author, each set on a similar theme about or from that Province. Which makes sense - they're a Canadian Publishing House. So in the past, as examples, they've done Canadian Brides, Canadian Historical and others. But this time? This time the series is to be Canadiana Paranormal. A book from each Province, each one based on something that actually happened in that Province. And my Evil Publisher told me I was doing New Brunswick, since New Brunswick is the Province I live in. But it was OK. Because they know I normally take two to three years to write a book, but this was in 2024, and it wasn't coming out until 2026. So, on with the motley, right? Whatever motley might be 🙂.

Yes. About that. Prepare for terrified screaming. Because I say, sure. I'll make it happen. And then? Then I get another email. Because Marketing sort of changed their minds. They want it out in October. October 2025.

Remember that terrified screaming I mentioned? Yes. It was me (blush).

Well, suffice to say, it got done. TWICE BORN will be coming out in October of this year, 2025. But as you may know, it's a very common thing in Publishing to have people (people who aren't related to the author, who weren't part of the book's creation, or close friends of the author) read ARCs (Advance Review/ Reader Copies) of the book, if the agree to post a review (in this case on Amazon) when the book is released. They get the ARC for free, and their only commitment is to post that review. Good or bad, it only has to be their honest opinion. The review generally says something like that at the front, so people know what's happening. Something like:

"I received this book free as an Advance Review Copy in return for a review when the book was released. This is my review..."

And that, of course, brings us to you. To you, and to my thanks for agreeing to receive this ARC, and for providing that review when the book comes out. I'll email you when that happens, but as I said above it is intended to be in October of this year, 2025.

So here we are. TWICE BORN is the title. And, like a lot of Canadian stories, it doesn't start in Canada. It actually starts in Italy, in the mountains of Friuli, on September 19th, 1835. But it also starts on a beach in Nova Scotia, which is in Canada, but isn't New Brunswick, on September 8th, 1863. And it starts in a castle in Ecsed, Hungary, on a date not recorded by history. And it starts in a basement nobody knows about under a very, very tall building at 350 Fifth Avenue, New York. Which might all sound very confusing - but that's how stories can be sometimes.

Ahem. Let's try that again.

There should have been thunder. There should have been lightning tearing the skies and the very heavens weeping. There should have been portents and comets and demons of fire riding skeletal horses of ice-white bone—but if there had been, this would have been a movie. Probably with very artistic lens flare. So there wasn’t. There was a cottage. And a future I was going to make damn sure never happened.
Once upon a time...

Kristine Endsley (kristineendsley) | 42 comments Hi, have you read/are you interested in urban fantasy? I'm looking for ARC readers. I'll be sending it out Aug 20th. It's book 3, so I'm offering the other 2 (one at a time) to ARC readers if they want to get caught up.

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.
I have a sign-up sheet so I can keep everyone's info
