FREE BOOKS for Book lovers: ARC & Polished Manuscript Readers for Authors discussion

Hi! I’m currently looking for ARC reads 👀

Fantasy is my main love, but I also gravitate toward true crime, YA, and romance, basically anything that pulls me in, emotionally ruins me a little, and keeps me thinking after I finish.

Some of my favorites include Fourth Wing, Phantasma, The Hunger Games, Divergent, City of Bones, Hush Hush, Delirium, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, All Good People Here, Thirteen Reasons Why, If I Stay, anything by Elsie Silver and The Ravenhood series, plus honestly all true crime books. I love learning more about True Crime events from different perspectives!

I give honest, thoughtful feedback, not just “I liked it,” but what’s working, what’s not, and what actually hits. I respect deadlines, communicate clearly, and genuinely want to help your book land the way you intended.

I do work full time and have chronic health conditions, so my reading pace can vary slightly, but I always communicate and follow through.

If you need a reader who will scream, cry, and then give useful feedback… hi, it’s me.👋🏻

ARCs release tomorrow on 27th March 2026 🍇

This series took root when I was in an unhappy marriage and needed an outlet-so, I created a world where men are kind (and if they're not...well), women's pleasure is paramount, and males are trained to serve and please. And there's a heck of a plot, too :D

If you have a chance to take a look on the book I would be so grateful!

Until Thursday midnight Pacific Time, week you can get the first 3 books for free :)

Dear Eli,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Eduardo J Aleman, and I would like to thank you for your time and support.

I’ve written two books that I’m incredibly proud of: Hopping for Happiness and The Thousandfold Tide. I would be truly honored if you might ever be interested in reading one (or both) of them. I completely understand how busy you are and how many books come your way, so there is zero pressure at all.

This is the link to my YA sea fantasy novella: https://booksprout.co/reviewer/review...

and Hopping for Happiness is a practical guide to bring some clarity in decision making and smarter, happier decisions: https://booksprout.co/reviewer/review...

Wishing you all the best and many wonderful stories ahead,

Warmest regards,
Eduardo

Hi Eli,

I'm not sure how you'd feel about an adult read, but I'm getting ready to launch my debut novel May 1st and would truly love your type of feedback/review.

On the Edge of the Past is primarily an epic fantasy with science fiction elements (think old civilizations, ancient magics, dragons...), and romance of course! Personally Fourth Wing got me into romantasy, and I love the high stakes and mystery of The Maze Runner, Hunger Games, etc. Also, my wife loves Phantasma and I know I need to get to reading it, but I'm currently sucked into DireBound.

Anyways, back to the ARC haha. If you're interested in lost memories, or "The Chase" like in Heartless Hunter, or one room (sort of), or enemies to lovers, then I think you might like this :). I'll drop the blurb below and you can see for yourself if it peaks any interest.

If you are interested, you can reach out to me at Jaxondierker@gmail.com and I'd be happy to provide your with the ebook format if thats alright? I don't currently have the print version ready as I'm waiting for the final render of the book cover to be finished. The one currently on good reads is a placeholder.

Blurb:

Strange things lurk in the abandoned and omitted places of the cosmos. Ancient things. Some of them should be rightfully forgotten, while others remembered, if only to avoid the cessation of life.
Khorrin used to know of such things, most of his memories clouded and unreachable now. He can't fathom why his home is withering right before his eyes. Using some of the only runic magic he knows, Khorrin moves across years in a blink as he waits for something, anything, to tell him what's happening. When no answer comes, the oceans dried and forests vanished, Khorrin wades into the endless dunes filling their place. Pushed to the last edges of hope, he stumbles upon something ancient, lying dormant beneath the ruthless sands.
Suddenly, trees fill the space around him and rain taps his face. There are people, there is life. But it comes with a warning. A marking of doom for it all to suffer the fate of desertification if he can't remember what he's forgotten; a journey that will test all of him.
Captain Sahkirra has spent years chasing disappearances with now answers, crushing her reputation with the High Queen. Ordered to capture Khorrin, she believes he holds everything to restore what she worked so hard to build for herself. What she doesn’t know, perhaps blinded by her pursuit of reclamation, is that something else stalks Khorrin. Something far more dangerous and far older than she ever could've imagined. And the further she chases him, the greater the peril, and perhaps worse for her, the more she begins to drift towards the curiosity that Khorrin is.

I also forgot to add in my previous comment, that yes there is emotional devastation and places where you could cry if you so choose haha.

Hi Eli -

I'm looking for ARC readers for a romantic mystery titled Loving Remains. It's the first in a series, but each book is about different characters and the series revolves around the death industry.

This book is a good fit if you enjoy:
· emotionally grounded characters
· slow-burn, adult romance
· dark, slightly offbeat humor
· open-door intimacy
· layered mysteries with moral complexity
· stories about love, grief, and a hard-won happily ever after

Content note: This story includes strong language and explores themes of mental health, assault, death, addiction, loss of a child, and murder.

I would love to have you as an ARC reader, and if this is something you think you might be interested in, here's the link to my reader form. It's really just so I know what format people prefer and lets me know how to contact them:

Hi Eli,
If you're interested in Poetry, I am ready to share with you ARC copy of my book Feelings Fragile, 90 pages. This bilingual collection focused on raw emotions, mental health and vulnerability🤍

Hi Eli! I saw your ARC post and thought my book might be a good fit for you, especially since you enjoy high-stakes, psychological stories like The Hunger Games and A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder.

I’m releasing the standalone prequel to *Reality’s Endgame* on June 9 and am building a small ARC team. It leans into group dynamics, paranoia, and emotional tension as things spiral inside a controlled environment.

If that sounds interesting, you can grab a copy here:

No pressure at all. I would just appreciate honest feedback if you sign up.

Hi Eli,

How are you? If this is something you'd enjoy, I'd be happy to share an ARC copy with you:

"He thinks she's the most dangerous thing in the galaxy. She thinks they're friends. They are both correct."
The Strongest in the Galaxy (Allegedly)

No pressure though, have a great day!
