Free through July 15: my debut horror novel, honest reviews welcome > Likes and Comments

Hi everyone. I'm V. Tacet, and my first novel just came out.

Synopsis: Hank Bell is hired to care for a wealthy family after a loss. He reads people the way others read weather, the angle of a fork, the pause before a sentence. When he starts taking their unspoken wishes literally, the care turns into something else. It's psychological horror, quiet and slow, no gore.

How to get a copy: free on Amazon Kindle through July 15, then it goes back to paid. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H86C9DR6

If you review it, I'd genuinely rather hear the honest version than a kind one. Thanks for reading.

Wow - what a synopsis (the Amazon one)! I already downloaded your book and so you can expect a read and review from me on Goodreads, Amazon.in, Fable and StoryGraph ASAP. My ARC and other (reasons) reading schedule is really hectic right now - but I'll fit you in. Horror after all happens to be my favorite genre. And Psychological Horror - that is a class apart always for me! Thank you for sharing your book 'Raw Hunger' on this page. Stay connected with me. If I adore the book - I'll request you for an interview on one of my online platforms.

God be with you!

Hi everyone! I am Leena, an independent author based in Australia. I recently published Twice Proven, inspired by rebuilding confidence after relocating and starting over. If you enjoy personal growth books, I would be grateful if you would consider adding it to your TBR. And if you decide to read it, I would truly appreciate an honest Goodreads review. Thank you for supporting indie authors. 🤍

Hi Leena! :) :D

First of all - welcome to Goodreads as a debut indie-author. Congratulations on the publication of your first or latest (maybe you have written earlier works?!) book. Well done. Rooting for you and your book's success.

Yes, I have already TBRd your book, and it is a tiny thing, so I will probably schedule you by the end of this month, July 2026. I am glad to read and review your book and will pruchase it ASAP once I am done with my hectic schedule of tuitions today (that is an everyday situation with me but - no worries - I can handle it, been handling it for 21 years of teaching now) and once I am free of my ministry work for tonight as well (Lay Catholic Nun - busy all the time). If not and I have to travel because of ministry work - it will be purchased by the day after tomorrow.

I shall read your book and give you an honest opinion of it via a review on Goodreads, Amazon.in, Fable and StoryGraph. If I really like the book, then I these days even go ahead and offer interviews for the concerned authors of these works on my internationally popular and very sought after online platforms:

Fiza, thank you that means a lot. Take your time, there's no rush at all.

One thing, if you do get to the end: tell me whether you think Hank was a monster. I wrote the whole book around that question and I still don't have a clean answer.

I'd rather hear what you actually think than anything polite.

All the best with your own work.
