New request

Hi everyone, I’m looking for at least 5 free beta readers for the (full) 2nd book in my Cards of Death series. I will send it to the beta readers on January 12th and I will need all feedback on January 27th at the latest.
Cards of Death is a YA supernatural fantasy series. Book 2, The Second Premonition, will consist of approximately 62000 words. You will receive a Word document or PDF, whichever you like.
I will provide a list of things to look out for in the email.
I will also provide all beta readers with a summary of book 1 or the full book if requested.

Hope you guys can help me!
Here's the blurb (1st version).

When you're chosen to save the world, rest becomes nothing more than a memory.

Dante is recovering from his first fight with an army of demons when a second set of magical cards arrives on his doorstep. Once more it’s up to Dante and his loyal Shield of ghosts to decipher their meaning. The survival of the world depends on him saving the person the Cards of Death point to.

Then his mother is attacked. Dante needs all the powers he can gather to save her. But his Shield of ghosts has weakened and he doesn't have full control over his own powers yet. His friends might be able to help, but which of them can he trust?

Dante is thrown into a merciless race against the clock. He barely has time to register the depth of the magical world and his own powers. He must find solutions and answers, before time runs out.

Still looking for a couple more beta readers. Is anyone interested?

An exchange is possible, if I can read for you later in the year. (just tell me when you need a reader and I'll check my schedule)

Here's the blurb:

CARDS OF DEATH
The 1st Demon

Caught in a magical world he never knew existed,
Dante has only one choice: fight or die.

Things haven't been easy for sixteen-year-old Dante Banner.
Abandoned by his father, he has been dealing with his mother's unexplained seizures on his own. He has always coped. Until now.

After he inherits a haunted house, a pair of demonic cards appear on his doorstep. A mysterious voice urges him to ‘save him or all will be lost’. His search for the meaning of those words just begins when things spin out of control. Demons are coming to kill him and the ghosts residing in the home can only protect him so much. He has to do what the voice tells him, or he will lose everyone he cares about.
But danger lurks around every corner. Even those close to him can't be trusted. Will he be able to fight off the monsters trying to stop him, or perish along with the rest of humanity?

If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask.
