Hi Julie! If you're interested, ARC signups are open for my new book, "Afterthoughts," book 1 of a trilogy. It's YA science fiction with romance and thriller elements. Release date is January 13th. Link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FA...
Blurb:
Kanara never meant to kill her mother. A lifetime in prison awaits her. But the judge gives her a break and sentences her to ten years at Zylen Mental Hospital.
At first glance, the hospital isn’t bad. The food is edible, the other patients don’t know about her crime, and Eliot, the intern assigned to her case, is gentle and kind, not to mention gorgeous.
But the hospital has a few secrets of its own.
Like the cryptic message on the wall in Kanara’s room, written in a cipher only she and her sister know.
And the new voice in her head that seems to be able to predict the future.
And the doctors whispering in secret that their experiment is failing, the patients are dying, and they’re all running out of time.
Hi, I'm currently looking for reviewers for this book: Two Novellas
Two life-affirming stories of ordinary people in extraordinary situations.
The Golden Flyswatter takes us to a retro dive bar in Santa Monica, California, where young Natalie Schoenfeldt, an ingenue from Wisconsin, gets a job cocktailing. She soon realizes that the patrons are not who they seem, and Hollywood opportunities may not be either.
The Walk of Washington takes us to present-day Philadelphia, where a young filmmaker is playing piano to pay the rent. When he meets an older gentleman who looks a lot like Benjamin Franklin, the most excellent adventure of his young adult life begins.

Hi Julie & Drew,First off—thank you for your excitement and support of indie authors! I love your passion for reading, and I’d be thrilled to have one (or both!) of you review my debut novel, Reborn In Shadows: From The Ashes.
Reborn In Shadows is a thrilling, character-driven novel blending mystery, romance, and suspense. It follows Miriam Ryder, a sharp-witted, chain-smoking transgender woman and recent amputee, who is forced into witness protection after a near-fatal encounter with a crime family. Seeking refuge in the Appalachian town of Jasper Hill, she faces small-town prejudice, unsettling threats, and an unexpected romance. But as danger looms, she must decide how far she’ll go to protect her new identity—and the fragile hope she’s found.
I’d love to send you a digital ARC, and if you enjoy it, I’d truly appreciate an honest review on Goodreads, Instagram, Facebook, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Books-A-Million—whichever platform works best for you! If you're interested, just let me know, and I’ll get a copy to you right away.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
Best,

ARC Signup form: https://forms.gle/crvB3kZiAJQbt9RAA
EVEN GODS DIE.
The city of Bridunum is besieged.
Saorlach the demigod leads an army of thousands to its walls, eager to pillage and kill. Covered from head to toe in tattooed runes, he bears the blessing of the gods themselves. No weapon can pierce his skin.
One by one, Saorlach challenges the champions of Bridunum, taunting and killing them at will. Heroes fall. Morale weakens. Saorlach’s victory is imminent.
Only one man can stand against him.
Athewain, a lowly shepherd of Logren’s countryside, longs for a life of heroic adventure. When Saorlach’s warriors slaughter his village, he sets out on a quest for vengeance, assisted by an ancient, long-forgotten god known only as the Maker.
Now, Athewain must wield the power of this unknown deity to defeat his divinely-protected enemy and thwart his bloody dreams of conquest.
But there are enemies within Bridunum as well as without. And the gods, once angered, do not forgive.
If Athewain fails, his dream of justice dies with him. And all of Logren will fall to ruin.
Son of the Thunder Goddess is an epic fantasy novella inspired by the myth and history of Celtic, Iron-Age Britain. It features feuding gods, immersive worldbuilding, and epic, visceral battles.

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?

Thanks for your time
So it’s 1997 in this small town in Nova Scotia. A girl goes missing in the sea caves and comes back three days later. She's barely breathing, near death, and completely traumatized. Now her friends are starting to see some messed up stuff.
And her boyfriend?
He’s hearing voices.
Specifically one that says: kill her friends, or she dies.
It’s got cursed legends, missing kids, ghost trains, and emotionally unstable boys, and one boy with a switchblade.
Aka, everything I love in a book.
If you're into IT x Goonies x Stand by Me x Stranger Things, you’re gonna be obsessed.
🖤 Tropes included:
• Haunted small town vibes.
• Found family but traumatized
• Childhood trauma, but make it supernatural.
• Morally gray, broken boys
• Girls who fight back.
• The “wait—did that really happen?” type of horror.
It’s just under 500 pages, and I’m sending out ARCs between Aug 15–30.
The book releases Oct 1.
If you're down to read early and leave an honest review, link’s below. 🖤

Hi! I'm looking for ARC readers for my book Strays. It is a dystopian why choose romance. If you guys enjoy found family, loyal packs, and good spice, this might be for you!
Here is the blurb:
They are three solitary Aegis doomed to die until a brutal research program reforges them into a ruthless pack in a world that fears and hates what they are.
She is a Nyra, raised as human, taught to despise her own biology and reject polygamy.
But scent-matching does not ask for permission.
Falling in love was easy.
Now comes the fallout.
When a violent incident puts them in the crosshairs of a justice system designed to work against them and political agendas close in from all sides, they must fight to stay together and decide whether to keep playing by the rules or burn everything down to save the love of their lives.
Trigger warning: This book contains content that may be triggering for some readers, including on-page murder, on-page torture, explicit sex scenes with multiple partners, and more.

Blurb and tropes below :)
Salt and Shadow Blurb
In Salt and Shadow: Legend of a Cursed Bloodline, freedom costs more than escape. It demands transformation.
Naomi has spent years chained to a man who erased her identity one apology at a time. When an unexpected fortune lands in her account, her estranged father urges her to disappear—but warns her of one thing: never step foot in Kedar, a nation cloaked in danger, power, and ancient secrets.
She runs to Nev, a coastal country where the salt air clears more than just her lungs. There, Naomi meets Romero—a man with a haunted past and roots in the very place she was told to avoid. Despite her instincts, Naomi is drawn to him... and to the pull of something stirring inside her.
As their connection deepens, long-buried truths rise to the surface. Addiction. Betrayal. Bloodlines that carry memory. Pain that echoes across generations. To reclaim her life, Naomi must journey into the one place she fears most—not to run, but to awaken.
To step into her future, she must return to the shadows.

📚 ARC Readers Wanted! 📚Hi friends—
I’m looking for a few thoughtful readers to check out an advance copy of my new book, We Are Stupid. Bleeding. Naked History (subtitled A Memoir (of sorts), or: Illusions of Youth), which will be released on October 10, 2025.
It’s a coming-of-age memoir told in mixtape style—part road trip, part misadventure, part reflection twenty years later. Think Salinger’s bite, Vonnegut’s shrug, Hunter S. Thompson’s chaos, and a dash of Norm Macdonald’s humor. It’s a story about friendship, faith, mistakes, absurdity, and the strange grace that shows up in unlikely places.
If you’ve ever laughed about the dumb things you did when you were young—or cringed at the memories that still haunt you—this book is for you.
I’d love ARC readers willing to:
• Read the book before release.
• Share an honest review on Goodreads (and Amazon, if you’re up for it).
If you’re interested, drop a comment below or message me, and I’ll send you a copy.
Thanks so much—I’m excited (and a little nervous) to finally share this story with the world.
Hi both! Are you interested in a gothic horror romance? I'm a debut indie author looking for ARC sign-ups for Hollow Secrets - a spicy, modern retelling of Sleepy Hollow. From Katrina’s POV.
✨ARCS go out Sept 20th
✨It'll be an eARC shared via Bookfunnel
✨Book goes live Oct 3rd
✨Ideally reviews would be shared by Oct 18th
Sign up here: https://bit.ly/3GVa4ZR
Katrina Van Tassel doesn’t believe in ghosts, witches or the occult. And she certainly doesn’t believe in the tale of the Headless Horseman. So, when she moves back to Sleepy Hollow following her mother’s death, and the townspeople start turning up without their heads, she thinks there must be a logical explanation for it all.
It’s not long before Ichabod Crane, the dark and brooding music professor, is accused of being involved in the grisly crimes.
With the small town getting more dangerous by the minute, can he convince Katrina of what’s really happening? And can he do it before it’s too late?
Hi, Julie, would you be interested in a history non-fiction book? It is an easy read, story-driven, and provides a pretty good insight into the lives of people, especially women in the past, and how it matters to us.No textbook, no academy, just stories and wonder.
If interested, see here:

First off, thank you for all of the days and sleepless nights you all put in so that we can enjoy your written works of art!
My name is Julie and my misters name is Drew, we have just started a Bookstagram and I’m currently updating my Goodreads and beginning the process of posting reviews. I’m hoping for the chance to review books in the genres fantasy, romance, dark romance, willing to look into other genres if you need the honest review before publishing. We are a Long Distance couple, so we barely sleep thanks to Timezones, as a result we are aggressive readers haha I personally picked up 43 new kindle books last month. Both of us are fast readers but we make a point of paying attention to the details a lot of people accidentally miss, so one of us will give your ARC the attention it deserves and finish it in a timely manner. We can provide reviews on Goodreads, Instagram, and Facebook if that’s the platform you prefer. We both have TikTok though it’s not a preferred platform, if that’s where you would like your reviews just let me know and we can see what we can do.
We are very excited to support small, new and indie authors so if you would like one of us to review your book/s, please comment below! I’ll respond as soon as possible so as not to disrupt your timeframes.
