In joining this review group you have agreed to review the novels assigned to you on a two month schedule. The sign up phase is over and the review stage is starting.This is Fantasy Review Group 9, which will include all types of novels classified as fantasy. As with other review groups, you will be expected to read and give an honest review of the books assigned to you. Assignments will be made after the group sign-up has filled.
Participants are expected to post reviews to Goodreads. If the Goodreads review is positive (three stars or higher), the review should be posted to Amazon at the same star level, if the book is available there. This makes having accounts with both Goodreads and Amazon.com a requirement.
If a reviewer and the author agree that the review should not be posted to Goodreads due to quality issues, the reviewer is relieved of the requirement of posting the review. If this occurs in the first round, the second reviewer is relieved of the requirement to read and review the book. This is entirely at the discretion of the reviewer and is not intended in any way to manipulate the rating of any book.
Contact the authors you are scheduled to review to arrange to receive a review copy of their work.
Please post to this topic, both when you receive review copies and when you post the reviews.
If you are going to be late with your review, either post to this topic as soon as possible or message the author and the moderator.
If your book has not been reviewed by the deadline for either round, contact the review group moderator. This is necessary to make certain that the review process is fair for everyone.

Authors:Since Yannis has bowed out, I will rework the order of review for the second round of reviews. If you have started on reviewing the second round, hold off until I have completed the rescheduling.

Authors:The schedule has been published in the initial post of this topic. Authors should arrange for review copies and update this topic once they have received their books for review.

Authors:The first ever Thriller review group has filled up. I will wait a day to put together the schedule so that the other authors can review Ed's warning.
R.
Ed wrote: "I think 'Wolinski' qualifies if you need one more:Warning! Hard boiled, graphic, and plenty of sex."
If this warning puts off any of the other authors in this group, please let me know to exclude you from reviewing it, when I make the schedule.
R.
Authors:I just want to make certain that we are clear about the criterion for this group. To me, a thriller is a story that runs on adrenalin, keeping the reader on the edge of excitement most of the way through. I expect that reviews for this group will be lower for works that challenge the readers' minds and higher for big time action than they would be for other review groups.
Is everybody in for that? If not, now is the time to bow out gracefully.

Sounds like a fit to me.
