Hi Michelle,
My name is Marlene Cheng and I am looking for readers interested in reviewing my new novel, A Mystical Embrace.
Geneva, an emergency room doctor, and Y, an NHL hockey player who has a wife and children back home in Sweden, are the central characters in the three-book Bond Series. They have a scintillating love affair which consequently produces a child, Krystian, who becomes their precious bond. Honour, integrity and the fear of becoming celebrity-fodder for the media takes Y home to his family, leaving Geneva to be a single-parent.
This stunning saga beautifully unfolds the lives of a cast of unforgettable characters who break your heart yet can piece it back together again.
Go to my websites to read more and download whatever format you may wish. https://marlenecheng.wordpress.com.
Thank you for your consideration. I hope you enjoy A Mystical Embrace!

Hello. I am Dave J. Williams, author of Sineria: The Great Kingdom. It is a fantasy adventure full of dragons, knights, battles, a wizard, and more. A story with twists, epic foreshadowing, and a rough journey, this is sure to be enjoyed.

I can send an e-book copy to you in Pdf form, but if you need it in another form for your computer, I can see what I can do. Thank you.

Hi, Michelle,
I have a fun, fast-paced mystery with a strong female lead who's a private investigator set in Chicago.

Hi Michelle, I have a new suspense/thriller I'd love to have to review if you're interested in that genre. A smashup of corporate espionage, martial arts and the dynamics that arise between high achieving parents and their adult children. A free e-book to you for your review.

Hi Michelle! I'd love for you to review my fantasy duology "Daemon Rising." To date, the eBook has been downloaded by hundreds of readers, has received several high ratings and a wonderful 5-star editorial review, and is soon to be released as an audiobook narrated by exceptionally talented Adam Gold. If you have any questions, please let me know!

Hi, I'm writing a Gothic thriller trilogy called Owl Manor and need reviews for book 1, Owl Manor - the Dawning.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H9JDFMN?...

Sometimes the tide sweeps us into a fog where dark forces are at work…all of a sudden evil and good become blurred…

Powerless and defenseless, we swim toward it, and wonder if we’re going mad.

Stifled by the repression of women in the 1800s, trapped in a loveless marriage, Eva lives a life of dissatisfaction and frustration. The tide sweeps her to the Rocky Mountains during the gold rush in 1859, where she finds unexpected hope at Owl Manor, a strange, dark place with owls in the very fabric of its walls.

But the stakes are perilous. Shadows wander the dim corridors. The owner of the manor is moody, volatile, annoying. And unforgettable.

Owl Manor – the Dawning, the first standalone book in a trilogy of Gothic Suspense novels, is inspired by authors such as Daphne du Maurier (Jamaica Inn, Rebecca), Carlos Ruiz Zafon (Marina, Shadow of the Wind), Shirley Jackson (The Haunting of Hill House).

Filled with Poe-esque atmosphere, dark desires and supernatural elements, this book is a must read for fans of Gothic Suspense.

Thanks for the offer!

Scribbles of the mind

Dear Group Members,

My new release,
Believe, Live, Run.
is available at Amazon.

In a nutshell, my story is about how I've become from a “village peasant” into an engineer, and what extreme difficulties I had to challenge during my way towards fulfilling childhood dreams: cancer, chemotherapy and so on.. in the meanwhile, sport literally saved my life.

Believe, Live, Run: A story about having faith

Hi Michelle,

Right now I am seeking reviews - particularly Amazon reviews, though all are welcome! - for my book The Red Grouse Tales and I’m wondering if you might be interested in reading and reviewing it.

To the blurb:-

Told in The Red Grouse Inn, the universal appeal of these four charming, very different, adult, speculative, spiritual and philosophical tales will intrigue and entertain. With beautiful and atmospheric imagery, surreal and paranormal concepts of angels, ghosts and devils, they will have you guessing, turning the pages and looking forward to the next one.

The Little Dog, a story of good and evil and retribution. Very much a coming of age story and told in the manner of all the stories in our lives, namely that we have no idea that we are ‘living in a story’ until suddenly all seems to click together. A young forester partnered with an objectionable workmate, finds a little dog way out in a remote part of the forest. What is such a cute little dog doing there? Bill, the teller of this tale, becomes a bit attached to it and looks forward to seeing it every day sitting beside the haul road. Then one day the little dog is no longer there and Bill starts to learn some dreadful truths.

The Crow, a sad, poignant story of misunderstanding, bitterness and blame. Another coming of age story but on a very different theme; that of human vanity. A young boy is taken by his mother to visit a dying and embittered old Irish priest, Mad Father Patrick, who recounts the school days and subsequent rise of a local councillor and of his involvement in the construction of a dam which flooded a valley. As the tale progresses it becomes increasingly bizarre, indeed, mad, and we finally learn why the old priest so bitter.

The Golden Tup, a dreadful tale of a young couple’s paradise being cruelly taken from them by latent evil. Can evil be in a place? A slow burning horror story; this one opens with the appalling news that a nice young couple, who had bought an old derelict farm and made it into their ‘dream home,’ had killed their own baby. How could they have done such a dreadful thing? The story, told predominantly in flash-back and with references to Milton’s Paradise Lost, charts their lives and how this horrific act came to pass.

The White Hart, a happy ghost story, if there can be such a thing! A tale of redemption told by a likeable male chauvinist, Pete, who recounts his meeting with an albino doe while out in the forest on a jog, his subsequent meeting with an enigmatic and beautiful girl at a remote chapel who tells him the sad story of the daughter of the family which built it, and a third incident …..

I usually say my stories are for adult readers because they are not ‘all action’ from page 1, and may contain some minor mention of sex and a tiny bit of bad language. However, I suspect they are very possibly suitable for a NA and even a YA readership.
Page count is 370 pages.
The book is written in UK English.

If these tales interest you and you are prepared to review them and post your review in timely manner (sorry, but I don’t want this just being added to a one mile long TBR list!) on, particularly Amazon, though all others are welcome, I will be happy to supply you with a free PDF, mobi or epub file.

Hoping that my book appeals, that you will be interested in reading and reviewing it and so looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

Leslie Garland

Hi Michelle,

If you are still open to reviews I have physical copies available of my new release THUNDER PEAK. It is a YA Fantasy with an emphasizes action and adventure and features a female protagonist. You can find it here, Amazon and my website www.traestratton.com/books. If you are interested you can find me here on Goodreads or email me directly at trae.stratton@gmail.com.

Hi Michelle,

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
