Advanced Copies for Review & Book Giveaways discussion

Hi my name is Lydie and I would love to read and review some ARCs in the fantasy or romance genre. I can write reviews of the books here on goodreads and amazon. I also have a bookstagram (@readingwithlydie) where I have nearly 500 followers. I can promote the book there to my followers and also talk about the book in posts and hashtags about them. I would prefer physical ARCs but I am okay to review ebooks as well.

Hi Lydie,

Great news that you're available for reviews! I would be thrilled if you would be able to review my YA Fantasy. Though it's not strictly an ARC, it's only just been published and very few people have been sent the Mobi file.

A group of city dwelling teenagers are whisked away to the remote Scottish Highlands where the stumble across a secret civilisation of immortals.

I've sent you a direct message.

Many thanks

Matthew

Hi Lydie,
I would love to share my book Through Hell & Highwater with you. I got it published in November.

Through Hell & Highwater is a story of how saving the Earth brings together a Shifter, two Vampires, Werewolves, an Elf, Half-Fae, a Wizard and an Orc. When the world is slowly turning into chaos the students are trying to find a way back. Back to what is safe and secure. But in order to do that, the students have to go through hell first.

“Did I say something wrong?” she whispered to Dylan, falling back to be able to walk next to the wolf instead.
“You are doing great, darling,” he replied with a grin. “Beautifully, if embarrassment is what you are aiming towards, I mean. It would be quite amusing, if I wasn’t afraid for our lives.”



Let me know if this sounds like something you'd like to review.

Hi Lydie,
I am getting ready to release YA Victorian-era historical fantasy called Mindcracker. I'm putting the description below. At this point I only have ebooks available (sorry about that, I know you prefer hard copy) https://storyoriginapp.com/reviewcopi...

At sixteen, Molly is already the best bloody thought-snatcher in Victorian London, picking people’s minds and selling their secrets. When her growing talent captures the attention of a brutal criminal, Molly flees. Her escape is unexpectedly aided by a mysterious figure who promises to protect Molly—if she will break into the only unbreakable mind in London: Sir Edward Carlton, lockbox for Her Majesty’s Government.

Desperate to escape, Molly agrees, gaining entry to Sir Edward’s house, mind, and haunting memories. Sneaking into his thoughts each night is easy—at first. But before long, Molly suspects she’s being manipulated and finds herself trapped in a tangled web, unable to tell friends from enemies who blackmail, kidnap, and murder with ease.

Soon, Molly must choose between her life and the lives of those she loves—or use her wits and growing psychic powers to change the rules of a game she barely understands.

Hi Lydie - Happy New Year!

I wonder if you would be interested in receiving an ARC of my debut The Lavender Phantom. It is a romance thriller/suspense, 278 pages, first in a duology.

In brief, The Lavender Phantom is about a thief-turned-parent who returns to her old ways one last time to bring down a crime-ridden late-night tearoom. But nothing is ever simple, so she falls in love with the place and some of the people there despite the rising danger to her and her family.
It's action-packed and full of thrilling twists because I love reading them, so I wrote the book to pull the reader in and help them forget about our current (grim) reality.

The cover and full blurb, as well as links can be found here: The Lavender Phantom

The book comes out on 9 February 2021. A review around that time would be great, but any time after is good too.

Thanks very much for considering me and The Lavender Phantom. I hope you enjoy it if you decide to receive it in exchange for an honest review.

All the best wishes
Lainey

Hi! My name's Rachel, and I recently published a book of poetry. I'd be happy to send you a PDF/epub/mobi file of my book! It's about a failed relationship and learning to love yourself. If you're interested, here's the link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08NVDZJYF My email is thisdreamerwontdie@gmail.com Have a good day!

Hi

My novel isn't strictly speaking ARC, but it's sat for a month on Amazon unnoticed and I think it deserves some love and attention. Also, as the beginning of a series and with Book 2 scheduled for an Easter release, it would be nice if Book 1 could start to hook a few people.



It's 200 pages, fantasy with a dash of sci-fi, both tragedy and humour and narrated from the point of view of the protagonist's daughter 1000 years in the future with a plan to save world...or possibly end it.

Available as paperback and kindle on Amazon, and since I see you're in the UK, I have a spare paperback copy I could easily pop in the post, but I'd be happy to send a copy in just about any format you like.

Shifting Stars

Hi Lydia,

I have a dark Fantasy YA called The Death Sparrow's Shadow if you're interested. It's about a young assassin who is willing to do anything to save her homeland including trading her daggers in for ball gowns. It should be simple for her but her bleeding heart and illegal magic can ruin everything.

Thanks in advance for the consideration!!

Hi Lydie,

I'm looking for ARC readers for my debut novel, Arcane Gateway. Its release date is the 10th of March. The book will be available on Story Origin until the end of March for reviewers like you.

Blurb:
Swanie von Thaden has enough magic going on in her life already. Having grown up in a Teutonic world rife with elemental powers, spiritual entities, and mystical traditions, she’s never really integrated into everyday life. Now she’s poised to enter college in a few weeks’ time. There, she’ll need to fit in with normal people who could never fathom the magic she wields. But who would dare to befriend an elemental witch?

During one last summer vacation, Swanie meets a fairy in the forest who leads her to a mysterious relic rumored to harbor the power over time itself. Her plans for a normal life spiral into the ground as she finds herself questioning everything her people hold dear. Now, with the help of her most trusted mentors, she must seek out darker truths than she had ever imagined. Is there more to her people’s history than meets the eye?

Hi Lydie,
I'm Dave J. Williams, author of the Medieval fantasy 'Sineria: The Great Kingdom' and its sequel 'Sineria: Age of War.' The sequel currently sits at only three reviews, so I'd rather put that up for review, but if you'd like a synopsis of the first book or prefer it before this one, I can definitely provide that. I'll put the synopsis for 'Sineria: Age of War' below.

Eight years have passed since the mad wizard, Kraydon, attacked Sineria. Hayden, now a young adult living in a castle near two of his best friends, soon finds out things aren't easy for even the best of Sinerians. When an insane warlord threatens to wipe Sineria and all other kingdoms off the map with her infamous and feared army, Sineria finds only one way to protect themselves: war. However, a fight for a kingdom isn't easy, especially when a mysterious, endangered, titanic dragon rampaging throughout Eastern Europe threatens the existence of all living things, adding to the worries. Hayden, struggling internally to mature and become a young adult while dealing with a powerful army and their dragon, finds himself in a world he never could imagine. His only options: listen to the king like a mature adult and hide out until the war is over, or unleash his inner warrior from eight years ago to attempt to take down the immense threats. One option will determine the fate of Sineria and all other kingdoms.

I can email this book as a .pdf to you if you'd like to review it. Have a great day.

Hi Lydie,

I've got a contemporary romance (rom-com) for review on BookSprout if you're interested:

https://booksprout.co/arc/60528/fifte...

Fifteen Minutes of Shame:

Back cover copy:
From best selling author Lisa Daily, a hilarious debut novel that will delight fans of Christina Lauren, Emily Henry, and Sophie Kinsella

America's favorite TV dating expert just found out her husband is cheating on her.

Darby Vaughn, a small-town girl turned dating guru, has finally landed the life she's always dreamed of: A handsome, charming husband she's crazy about, a fabulous home in an exclusive neighborhood, a bestselling
dating book, and tax-deductible pedicures. Thousands of women have
attended Darby's famous Dreamgirl Academy and followed her man-snagging
advice to the letter, in hopes that their lives will turn out just like
hers. But when she finds out her husband is cheating, her
publicity-perfect world spins out of control. Not only is the most
humiliating moment in her life splashed across every supermarket tabloid and celebrity gossip show, but her reputation as America's favorite love expert is shot. Her book sales have tanked, her publisher has canceled the rest of her tour, and her love life has become fodder for late-night TV. To make matters worse, Darby's husband's ex-wife Gigi
keeps feeding the media frenzy in hopes of furthering her own reality TV career. If Darby takes her philandering husband back, she will be
breaking her own most cardinal law of relationships (Never stay with a
cheater!), and her career will be over. To make things more complicated, Darby can't tell if her swoon-worthy divorce attorney, Holt, is flirting with her, or just giving her legal advice. 🥰As her marriage and
career fall apart, Darby learns that even dating experts get their
hearts broken, and that when it comes to matters of the heart, none of us are in complete control.

Hi Lydie!

I would love to find some kind soul to review my debut epic fantasy novel, The Broken Heart of Arelium

It's a fast-paced, action-packed fantasy tale with compelling characters and hidden mysteries.

You can get in touch via DM or email : warofthetwelve@gmail.com

epub and pdf available.

Here's the blurb :

Some Things Must Never Be Forgotten
*
Over 400 years ago, twelve great warriors united the beleaguered armies of men and scoured the war-torn lands of evil, pushing the enemy back into the underground pits and caverns from whence they came. To ensure their legacy, each of the Twelve founded fortress monasteries to impart their unique knowledge of war and politics to a select few, the Knights of the Twelve.
But now the last of the Twelve have long since passed from history to legend and the Knights, their numbers dwindling, are harbouring a dark and terrible secret that must be protected at all costs.
*
Merad Reed has spent half his life guarding a great crater known as the Pit, yearning for some escape from the bleak monotony. Then the arrival of Aldarin, one of the few remaining Knights of the Twelve, sets off a chain of cataclysmic events that will change Reed forever.
*
To the north, Jelaïa del Arelium, heiress to the richest of the nine Baronies, must learn to navigate the swirling political currents of her father’s court if she hopes one day to take his place. But the flickering flames of ambition hide the shadow of an even greater threat.
*
And deep within the earth, something is stirring.

Hi Lydie
Because you love contemporary romance, you might be interested in an ARC of See Beneath Your Beautiful, a sweet contemporary romance.

Here's the blurb:

Giving in to desire might be her downfall…

To twenty-eight-year-old Libby Thompson, work, her mum and best friend are the definition of a perfect life. She’s spent years learning to overcome her painful past and has no intention of allowing any man to disrupt the peaceful world she’s built. Even if that man is as sexy and ruggedly handsome as Noah Rodrigo, who just knows how to sweet-talk her into forgetting she’s sworn off men for life.

When Noah meets Libby at her best friend’s party, there’s no mistaking the undeniable attraction between them, but the blue-eyed beauty isn’t interested in dating. Too bad the feeling she’s “the one” won’t go away. Used to taking risks and trusting his gut, the property developer concocts a plan to seduce her. But the business of love is beyond anyone’s control. Will Libby find the courage to commit her heart to him?

The book releases on April 15th 2021. You can post your review on amazon preferably on 15th of April, but if you need a little more time, you have until the 26th of April. Goodreads reviews can be posted straight away.
