Goodreads Reviewers' Group discussion

Hello! I am diving into the world of reviewing books. I am starting a blog very soon and would love to feature books on it and promote the idea of reading among people.

I am primarily into fantasy, thrillers and romance. I am up for reading YA, New Adult, Adult, anything as far as it has one of the three tones mentioned above.

Tropes I particularly love:

1. Enemies To Lovers
2. Friends To Lovers
3. The Chosen One
4. The Black and White Morality Theme
5. Dying or Changing World
6. Dystopian

Hi. My name is Sadaf Zulfikar. I’ve released my first novel ‘Grasp of the Night’ and would be honored if you’d accept to review it
It is a YA Paranormal Thriller which centers around Alice who has been abandoned in Colorado. With no memory of her own, she struggles to get a grip on what her life has become . Things seem to change for the better when she meets Derek, except for the fact that falling in love is not an option—not when she already has a boyfriend from her forgotten life.
Meanwhile coincidently enough, a demonic cult called ‘Grasp’ re-summon a demon responsible for many gruesome deaths. They have unfinished business with Alice and there is only one way to know—uncover the past. But is the past the solution to her worries or just the beginning ?
Here are links to the book teaser and trailer on my website https://inandoutofwords.com
Let me know if you are interested

Hi Jasleen

What a great idea I hope your blog goes well. If you would enjoy a YA Fantasy Urban Romance set in Edinburgh, Scotland I shall be happy to email you a copy of my debut novel Blue Moonstone https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... Reviewers have been very complimentary so far, but I definitely need more comments.

Hi Jasleen

I have a supernatural horror novel entitled The Lady in Red you might be interested in. You did not mention horror in your list but thought I would give you a try. It is a story set in two distinct time periods: the 1830s and the modern day about two bodysnatchers who decided to 'lend a helping hand to death' by murdering their victims and selling the bodes to a local surgeon who dissects them in order to find cures for deadly diseases. One of the bodysnatchers returns in the modern day as a ghost to cause more mayhem.

If you are interested in reviewing my novel you can find out more about it at my profile page which can be found here: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Hi Jasleen,

Very cool that you are diving into book reviewing! If you'd consider my YA, coming of age, magical realism book called She Named Me Wolf, I'd be grateful. It's the story of a young boy named Wolf who is growing up in a home in Australia with an unpredictable, alcoholic father. In order to cope and survive, Wolf relies on his powerful imagination and his best friend, who happens to be a ghost.

Here's what a recent reviewer said: "What a fascinating, sometimes disturbing and ultimately heartwarming and redemptive story...For those of you who like surprising, and uplifting endings...be prepared. Smart knocks it out of the proverbial park in the final two paragraphs."

Let me know what you think :)

Hey Dandy,

I would love to review it. Please send to - jasleen@jasleensaini.com and I will send comments back in 4-6 weeks.

Hi, Jasleen. I'm keen to get reviews for my debut novel. Here's a link so you can check out the "Read Inside" on Amazon to see if it matches your taste.
https://amzn.to/3btdBwi
I'll be happy to send you an EPUB, MOBI, or PDF.
It's free on KU, of course.
Cheers. Thomas.

Hi Jasleen! I would love you to consider my suspense thriller Junction: Time’s Ticking. It’s the first in a trilogy and the 2nd book is also available with the third being released in December. I am more than happy to send a PDF or EPub for free if you’re interested - I really hope you are 😊.

Here’s the blurb:

This is a story about love, loss and betrayal. A first person's account of what happens when all you have ever known is lost and a stranger threatens to ensure it remains lost forever.

Meet Aisha Brown, a thirty-year-old wife to Luke, born and bred in Taunton (a rural, English town in the heart of Somerset). Aisha grew up in a loving family and is desperate to have children with her husband. However, she receives devastating news affecting her dreams of motherhood.

Emotions running high, a near-fatal car accident occurs with another vehicle and Aisha falls into a coma. When she awakes, the life she knew before the accident no longer exists. Will she believe the doctors and those around her that the life she remembers is purely a fantasy? Or, will she uncover the dark truth behind the accident and fight for what is rightly hers?

A thought-provoking thriller that will leave you questioning your own destiny. Which road would you take if you crossed this fateful junction?

I’d also recommend She Named Me Wolf by Tenkara Smart (comment above) - I’ve read it and it’s fab!!

Hello. My name is Leonardo Adriel. I'm an argentinian author that wrote a fantasy book for all ages called Leon Dekar and the Sky Garden (https://www.amazon.com/Leon-Dekar-Gar...)
I think the neatest and most honest way to describe my book would be to share the blurb:
A dream leads a young man on a new adventure filled with fantasy, mystery, and intrigue.Leon’s brother, Valcrist, disappeared some ages ago. So when Leon starts dreaming of his long-gone brother, he knows the dreams hold some significance… but will he discover what it all means before it’s too late?With his girlfriend and a small group, Leon and his party strike out in search of truth. They encounter fantastic beasts, traverse intensely beautiful landscapes, and fight heroic battles. All the while, Leon’s dreams continue to warn him that something is coming. Along his journey he’s going to have to fight his fears, find the hero within himself, and become what—and who—he’s destined to be. Will he discover his strength before it’s too late? Can he save himself and his friends? Will he find all the answers in time to save his friends, himself, and the world?

From the tropes you love I think that the chosen one is the only that fits perfectly. If it interests you, contact me so we can arrange something. Thanks.

Thank you for doing what you do and for helping authors, like myself, become recognized! Please see the information below on my new novel and contact me with interest.

Hi Jasleen!

I would be so honored if you read my debut novel Take It: Genesis Mortalis now available on Amazon TODAY!!! It’s the first book in an action-crime series of two teenage billionaires who create a vigilante organization targeting some of the most wealthy and corrupt businessmen and criminals around the world.

It’s 300 pages of action packed fun and adventure, but also a major thriller with a twist you’ll love at the end. I haven’t even announced the release yet but here’s the link to Amazon where you can purchase on Kindle for 99 cents for a limited time and also grab a paper copy if you wish.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/1636767257/...

If you have the time to review I would really appreciate it! Especially as I’m looking to get reviews posted on Amazon. Thank you!

Dear Jasleen,


If you're still looking, I have a sci-fi technothriller for your consideration: Kill Zone. Any standard eBook format is available. Please message me if interested.

Thank you very much for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Genre: sci-fi/dystopian

Frank Clayton’s life has fallen apart in the wake of his son’s death. His wife has left him, he has been blacklisted from employment and his citizen-consumer status had been taken away, leaving him no choice but to enlist in a murderous reality show. When an opportunity comes up to escape, he finds out that he still has something to live for: revenge.

Hi Jasleen!

I would be so honored if you read my novel A Mirror above the Abyss. Political thriller based on real and well-known tragic events and refuting the official versions. The intelligent action filled with facts and evidence appears to You. It proves that global events did not happen at all like it is generally understood.
So, Kennedy wasn't killed by Oswald, who had been framed in advance, but by a woman - a professional sniper who worked on an unusual order. The man who planned and carried out the September 11 attacks in New York was just one kilometer from crumbling skyscrapers. The assassination attempt on Pope John Paul was being prepared to hide billion bank scams, and the pontiff knew about it. These and other significant events of the last 60 years turn out to be interconnected, leaving the trail to a criminal syndicate ... from one person, and from him to the highest establishment and intelligence services of the United States and other countries.

Marcus has past life memory, and his soulmate Theron does not, but the two lovers are bound by an eternal and unshakable bond. As a series of catastrophic events nearly destroys their world, the two along with a chosen few become Emissaries destined, over the course of 13,000 years and through many reincarnations, to lead humanity into an era of peace and prosperity as foretold by the Elders of their race. But the forces of evil have taken possession of one man, Helghul, who relentlessly pursues Marcus and Theron through time, determined to destroy them and ruin all hope for salvation.
The Emissary, Book I in The One Great Year Series, tracks Marcus’s epic adventure across centuries of human civilization to present day, where envoys of darkness gather around them threatening to bury the life-giving secrets of Atitala forever.

Good and evil come to blows and the future of mankind hangs in the balance.

Hi Jasleen!

Magic & Mayhem

Would love to get a review for my paranormal romance
Magic & Mayhem

Here's synopsis...

𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜 & 𝐌𝐚𝐲𝐡𝐞𝐦
​
​𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐛𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡, 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐚𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐥.

At a young age, Lucy learned that monsters and demons weren't just in stories, they were real. She saw demons kills mother. Haunted by that horrifying event, she learned how to wield the magic she possesses and how to fight. Now, she spends her nights hunting and killing demons.

𝐃𝐞𝐤𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐲 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐥𝐟, 𝐰𝐡𝐨'𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞.

Deklan has always considered himself laid back, but not anymore, not since he lost the person he was closest to in this world - his best friend, Tuk. Now, Deklan's a wolf on a mission and he won't rest until he finds Malek, the demon that killed Tuk, and exacts revenge.

𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐬 𝐟𝐥𝐲, 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐥𝐟.

A misunderstanding the first night their paths cross, has Lucy and Deklan clashing. They go their separate ways, only to have their paths cross again. The circumstances of their second meeting, lead them towards teaming up against evil.
The more time they spend together, the more they learn about one another, the less this witch and werewolf clash and the closer they become.
​
As their relationship heats up, as they close in on their enemies, a revelation leaves them reeling.

Will Lucy and Deklan rally and triumph over the evil they seek to destroy… or will their enemies destroy them?

Magic & Mayhem is a fast-paced paranormal romance that will appeal to fans of the show, Charmed and authors such as, Jeaniene Frost and Stephenie Meyer.


I have gotten LOTS of positive feedback from readers on Wattpad!
Been told by many that they were hooked from the start and that they loved Lucy and Deklan.

Hope you decide to check out Magic & Mayhem!
If you do, msg me on goodreads with your email and I'll gift you an ebook copy through Amazon.

Hi Jasleen,

I think you might like this book :) The first in an epic series perfect for fans of Victoria Aveyard’s Red Queen and Lauren Oliver’s Delirium, The Crossing Gate combines the tropes of classic YA dystopia with a Greek-inspired setting and fantasy elements that will whisk readers away on a journey like no other.

In the kingdom of Elpax, juveniles must walk through the mysterious Crossing Gate to become adults—and seventeen-year-old Lenora is determined that her third attempt at crossing to adulthood will be successful. Even though adulthood means facing horrible realities, such as sin-spots appearing on her body whenever she commits a sin, it also means being able to have a job. And Lenora needs to work to support her struggling family.

But Lenora’s Crossing Day goes horribly wrong.

Accused of trying to start a revolution, Lenora must obey the kingdom’s laws to the letter if she wants to take suspicion off herself. But following the rules isn’t as easy as it sounds. Especially when she meets a mysterious and handsome stranger who makes her feel emotions she’s never experienced before—even though juveniles in Elpax aren’t supposed to be capable of falling in love.

With the long arm of the law looming over her and her family, Lenora must walk a tightrope between following the rules and investigating why she’s unable to cross. Not to mention discovering where her new adult emotions are coming from. But as Lenora uncovers more of Elpax’s terrible secrets, she realizes that fighting the system might be the only way to save her family, her country, and her first love.

Hello Jasleen,

I do believe I have exactly what you are looking for. My latest release, The Rose Vol 1, is dystopian, Sci-F/Fantasy, full of action and is definitely 100% a thriller. Reviews have been awesome (4.6 avg rating), and you can read them on the Goodreads page here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

The story is about a species of Alien Vampires attempting to subjugate the human population after WW3 by using an opiate based pharmaceutical that destroys grey matter in the brain, turning humans into easily controlled zombies-full description is below. If you like The X-files, The Matrix, Ancient Aliens or even Star Wars you will love this book. Vol 2 will be released in December 2021 and I'll have ARC copies available in October. If you're interested I can send you a book funnel link to download the book or I can email you a mobi or ePub file.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thank you

PD Alleva

book blurb:

The Rose: An elevated state of consciousness practiced in alchemy that allows the practitioner to manipulate chemistry and move objects with a single thought. Also useful when battling Alien Vampires!

A masterful, dystopian science fiction thriller of telepathic evil greys, mysterious rebellion, martial arts, and Alien Vampires.

Sandy Cox believed WW3 was over. But for those Alien Vampires, war has just begun.

Forty-eight hours after a World War III treaty is signed Sandy Cox awakens in an underground compound unable to move. Tied to machines, she screams for help but no one answers. At least no one human.

And they’ve taken her unborn child.

Phil is a rebel freedom fighter who has had more than his share of Alien Vampires. Armed with The Blades, a sacred alien martial arts weapon, he enters the compound on a mission to find Sandy. But as he battles through the compound, Phil discovers Sandy has her own agenda. Finding her stolen child is all that matters.

But the Vampires have their own plan and Sandy’s baby is at the heart of their diabolical plot.

Joined by a crew of rogue soldiers, they must navigate the underground compound, combating genetically mutated humans, aliens, and monsters.

When battling Alien Vampires, one thing is certain…Get Ready To Bleed!

Hello Jasleen,

Please consider reviewing my new book for your blog.

The Alleys of Olde Architecture, Vol. I—A Key for Every Lock is a mind-bending, dark fantasy novel that plays with all the tropes you listed, pats them on the head fondly, then stands up and walks out the door without looking back.

When her father is arrested in the middle of the night and confesses to a crime that cannot possibly be true, fifteen-year-old Alley a'Door has one day to climb to the top of the mountain, free her father, and clear his name—but how do you save a man who is dead-set on orchestrating his own execution?

Skirting the line between YA and Adult, this is a character-driven saga with breakneck pace and gut-wrenching personal stakes, a Grimmly-gothic atmosphere brimming with eerie wonder and weird humor and the barest hints of magic you can never quite put your finger on.

I think you'll love it.

The Alleys of Olde Architecture: Volume I—A Key for Every Lock

If you are interested in reading more, I would be happy to get a copy to you.

Have a great day!

Hi, my name is Sam Athey. I am currently in the process of editing a six-book fantasy series called "Kings of Reality" with the first one out now.

Synopsis: Three thousand years ago, the world was divided into five separate planes of existence by the god known as Void, after a group of humans attempted to steal his power. As punishment, he set up the "Convergence". Every thousand years, a small group of "Awakened" would gain the ability to travel through the planes of existence on a journey to become more powerful. Those who make it through all five will be able to participate in the Convergence, where the power of god is the prize. This is the journey that 17-year-old Yin is thrust into, and the one he must survive.

If this sounds interesting to you, message me here or email me at samuelzft@gmail.com! I will link to amazon below (still have to get goodreads to recognize that I'm the same person as on amazon for some reason haha). Thanks!

Hi Jasleen. :) I hope you are keeping well during these difficult times.
I published my first novel in December 2019. But due to Covid and my own long illness I hardly sent it out for reviews, and I am desperately trying to remedy that now. The book is a Young Adult Romance set in South Africa, where I am from. It is called The Transfer.
Here is the Goodreads link:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

I would really appreciate it if you would consider reading and reviewing the book. It is short and a light hearted read.
Please let me know.
My email address is:

Hope to hear from you.

Warm regards. :)

Hi Jasleen,

It would be great if you were able to review my fantasy fiction book - Dane Thorburn and the City of Lost Souls - which was released in June.

Dane Thorburn and the City of Lost Souls



I have a passion for writing and released my first book - Dane Thorburn and the Brindabeare Knights in 2019.

An avid reader from a young age, I am inspired to write and share the joy of reading a good book with young people and get them away from gaming consoles, computers and smartphones, and into a good book.

The primary audience for the book is the 10-15 years age-group, although it is suitable for anyone who likes a good fantasy story.

Here is a brief summary:

Dane Thorburn returns in another fast-paced fantasy adventure.

Rewarded for thwarting evil Firelord Raegan’s plan to kill the King and seize power for himself, Dane has joined the elite ranks of Brindabeare’s Royal Knights.

But Raegan’s desire to rule all Valentaland is far from over.

Princess Vanessa is missing – snatched by Raegan’s Black Knights and on her way to the City of Lost Souls, an ancient prison somewhere in the Gargaun Ranges.

Dormant and unused for centuries, the City of Lost Souls is a place from which escape is impossible and death inevitable.

As the frantic search for Vanessa begins, Dane finds himself on trial for aiding her kidnapping.

Can Dane prove his innocence and do anything to save Vanessa before she is lost forever?


Here is the link to Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Dane-Thorburn-...


Here is the link to my website: https://mattgalanos.com/

I am hoping you could review and post on Goodreads, Amazon, and any other platforms you post your reviews.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Matt

Hello from the bottom of a VERY long list of comments! lol
I have a middle-grade zombie book available. Not sure if zombies are considered fantasy, but it is a thriller. From chapter one to chapter ten, it's edge-of-your-seat action. It's a super long book (just less than 26,000 words) and it reads quickly.
Let me know if you're interested at debsfiction2@yahoo.com
Thanks!

Jasleen,

I just published my ninth book, a domestic thriller set around Christmas titled 'The Shattering.'

It's 277 pages with a 4.71 avg. rating so far.

Here's a link to it here on GR: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Thank you for you consideration.

Hi Jasleen,

I’m looking for reviews of my clean Regency Romance novel, The Duke of Devastation, available to read free on Kindle Unlimited at https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/....

Synopsis:
The Duke of Castlemore earned his reputation as The Duke of Devastation by relentlessly pursuing vengeance against all who wronged him. When he acquires an estate in Shropshire he meets Elsie Hulbourne, a vicarage spinster who only enjoys romance between the covers of a novel. Friendship, and perhaps something more, blossoms between them. As Castlemore continues to follow the path of revenge that he has chosen, he finds that the price of justice may be too high. Elsie and Castlemore wrestle with revenge, betrayal and forgiveness, as they seek reconciliation, peace and love.

Warning: contains flirting, witty banter, a dark and handsome duke and a happily ever after.

Hi Jasleen, I would appreciate your review of my first fiction novel, "At the Crest of the Hill". An ARC is currently available and is set for release on September 1st.

"The Screwtape Letters" meets "To Kill a Mockingbird" in this spiritual journey, mystery, and legal thriller. You will think deeply and laugh out loud. Oh, and God admits he was wrong and a change is coming.

I know you may have an enormous amount of review requests and probably my book doesn't fit into your genre but no request is like mine. The book Preventing Her Shutdown, Losing My Wife to Alzheimer's, is an inside look of what an ongoing caregiver spouse goes through in my desperate effort to keep my wife with Alzheimer's "connected" even though she doesn't speak. This book started out as a daily diary of my caregiving and how my wife´s behavior was dramatically changing and how I was affected and began to relate to her differently. Writing not only "alleviated" my continuous sorrow but also indirectly helped me make personal decisions and changes in how to interact with her behavioral changes. We are in our sixth year of this disease.

As an author I am certainly not an expert or an authority on Alzheimer's. I am definitely not a professional author and didn´t pretend to write an authoritative masterpiece. I never pretended to be either one of those things. I am simply a typical “John Doe” caregiver, husband sharing my experiences living and caring for my wife with Alzheimer's. We have been married 44 years, 3 kids now grown up, a great dog most of those years, a typical family on our own trying to hold on to my wife and avoid her shutdown. I am an American, native from California, living with my Chilean wife in Chile for many years. We are simply trying to grow old together as long as we can. I began to realize there are probably other “amateur” caregivers like me on their own trying to take care of a loved one with Alzheimer's Disease and possibly could benefit from my shared personal experiences. Soon this diary turned into this book.

No one has the "exact key" as to how to respond to Alzheimer's radical behavioral changes because there are no two profile behavioral changes alike in the same stage of the disease. There isn't a standard set therapy to apply as each person reacts differently in the same stage. Even the stages of Alzheimer's vary in their characteristics. Only experiences from others can be your guide. What works for me may not work for you. Consequently, professional help doesn't work. I began to invent my own therapies. Each family is on their own as caregivers with their personalized therapies because each profile is completely different which affects the way you react and care for this person. I describe these dramatic changes with my wife who is in the beginning of the advanced stages. My reactions have always been intuitive in my desperate attempts to keep her “connected” with me and her family. My experiences and actions “in real time racing against the Alzheimer's clock” to keep her interacting every day, even though she no longer speaks, are detailed in my never-ending battle as her "amateur" caregiver to prevent her shutdown.

How do I connect with my wife and get her to connect with me? This is always my constant desperation as her caregiver especially because she doesn't speak. I am always afraid she will stop connecting with me, especially when I get that “blank lost look” in her eyes. That is the day I am trying to avoid. There are different things I do, different therapies I apply depending on the moment and situation we are in, always taking every opportunity I can to promote interaction with her. Described in detail is how I learned to "connect" with her even though she doesn't speak.

Does she know how she was before? Does she remember her past? Then I realized "what about us", our 43 years of marriage, does she remember that past? She recognizes and knows me well but how far back? Did our marriage begin in 1979 or 2017 when she was diagnosed?

I wasn't sure where I was in her memory or how she sees me, as her friend, husband or simply a caregiver. I am still not sure how she sees me.

She doesn't speak at all. She expresses only some sounds and shows a lot of anxiety. This becomes a real challenge trying to figure out what she wants and how she feels. How do we communicate? How do I talk to her? How does she tell me what she wants or needs? What therapy can I create to communicate? We both had to learn how to interact and communicate with each other and so far we can to this day.

My desperation as a spouse caregiver 24/7 is that we are constantly “connecting” as this alleviates my greatest fear of a “shutdown”. Detailed is how everyday, every moment I can, I try to create an opportunity to “connect”. Connecting is an absolute "must" for a caregiver of Alzheimer's.

Jasleen, as you can see my review request is quite different. Although I didn't write for commercial reasons, I learned that reviews could help expose this book more to other amateur caregivers of loved ones with this disease and in this way help them with "intuitive" alternatives that are working for me. I am constantly updating, starting with 120 pages and now 184, as my journey is ongoing. Hopefully for many more years to come I can continue to reveal new experiences and reactions to these behavioral changes with future updates.

My blog in Goodreads shares excerpts from this book in my effort to reach out to those who can use guidance on this difficult journey.

I know you would be making an incredible exception to your genre of interest in moving this book to the front of that long line of book requests you may have, however, your review will certainly help other amateur caregivers learn more how to defend and "connect" their loved ones.

Thank you for your consideration and time. I do have a PDF available upon your request.


Preventing Her Shutdown

Hi Jasleen!

If you are interested in YA Fantasy, I would be happy to email you a virtual copy of my new book Collodium Black. Below is a description, it has strong female characters in a story of forming a new identity when circumstances change:

In a cloud of red, everything changed. Violet Green is hidden in the army ranks on the northern front. No one cares about the north, and no one remembers that she is the illegitimate daughter of the king… until someone blows up the Grand Palace and kills the entire royal family except Prince Achtee. Years before, the prince sent an assassin to kill her. Now, the king is dead, and Violet is summoned to face a fate that can’t be avoided, but not everything is as it seems. 

The prince’s plans pale in comparison to the scheming royal advisors waiting behind the scenes. Before she realizes it, Violet gets tangled up in a role that has strings attached to things she doesn’t even know exist…

Lana Krkana is newly graduated from the military academy and assigned to a unit in the north. After the palace explosion, her unit travels to the capital, and she becomes Violet’s aide amidst a new world of wealth, politics and spies, a world opposite from the countryside she grew up in. Her desire to fit in is undermined by learning the hard way that traitors are everywhere and no one can be trusted.

Sijan is in special forces and is good at his job, but he harbors a secret. He was the assassin paid by Prince Achtee to kill the illegitimate princess as a child. It doesn’t matter to anyone until the princess is thrust into the limelight and takes over the military on behalf of the crown. Once the princess figures out who he is, it’s only a matter of time until she seeks her revenge.

Hi Jasleen,

From your interest list, I'm hoping you will review an advanced reader copy of my novel "At the Crest of the Hill". I plan to release in September.

An extraordinary spiritual journey, mystery, and legal thriller. You will think deeply and laugh out loud. God admits he was wrong and a change is coming.

Rocket, a seeker, is new to Heaven, having recently died at the age of fifteen. She is cynical and irreverent. Her perspective is swayed by immaturity. She just wants to go home. Why can’t mankind take care of its freakin’ self? Van Buren is as old as the ages and a resourceful groog for the Kingdom of Adeez. He is cruel and mindless. His perspective is blunted by his Master’s commands. He just wants to cause pain and watch the glowing, dancing televizun box. Both spirits set out on a reluctant journey to influence and transform Phoenix Atherton, a woman at the lowest point of her life. But it is Phoenix who has the influence, and the spirits who are transformed. You will laugh, think, and feel—a condition The Master holds in low regard.

I can provide a PDF, or the NetGalley link is below.

Thanks,
Teena

Hi Jasleen. Are you still doing reviews? If so, you're awesome. Text Chain's my third novel, it's a romantic comedy set in college, and I hope you'd like to review it. It came out just a few days ago, so it's only got a few reviews so far, but they're all good. Text Chain Here's what one person had to say on Amazon.
"C.I. Demann's characters leap off the page. They are so real that, like Sarah, I want to reach through the screen and give them all a big hug. They are my new best friends. Friends who are 1,000 times wittier than I am, sure. But that's what you get from an author as funny as this one. Demann reminds me of Nick Hornby in all the best ways. His characters are so realistic it's frankly unbelievable, and I am outraged that he is so much better at writing characters than I am. If you want to feel all the feels and laugh yourself silly, read this book now."
If you're interested, let me know.
