I’m looking for beta readers for my upcoming YA action-thriller My Asashin (~32k words), a story that blends found family, duty, and the haunting cost of mercy.
Summary: When Katana, a young assassin raised by her infamous mother Zel, is sent to eliminate a corrupt businessman at a Manhattan gala, her mission unravels in seconds. In the chaos, she’s seen by Austin Dactyl—the lonely heir of the empire she was sent to infiltrate. But instead of turning her in, Austin becomes obsessed with uncovering who she is—and why she spared him.
As Katana faces her mother’s wrath and Austin risks everything to follow her trail, their choices begin to unravel a conspiracy that could destroy both their worlds.
I’m looking for readers who enjoy YA thrillers with emotional depth, dynamic characters, and morally gray themes.
