The Labyrinth Wall (a Young Adult Fantasy novel) is available for ARC readers if you are able to post a review on goodreads and/or amazon.
About the book:
Araina’s isolated teenage life is forever altered when she witnesses a man emerge through a rippling wall into the dark labyrinth she calls home. As a result of the stranger’s arrival, Araina’s Creators have unleashed a series of magical attacks using the labyrinth against its inhabitants. Now Araina must decide if she will trust potentially deceitful allies in order to reach safety on the other side of the labyrinth wall.
This is the tale of a young woman who discovers that although labyrinth walls may confine her and her enemies may try to repress her, the power of hope can set her free.
What readers have said...
"A fascinating tale of adventure, danger and self discovery. You will not want to put this one down as you are drawn into the quest for something as unknown and distant as a reoccurring, puzzling and incomprehensible dream."
"The Author created a very in depth world that left me even more curious about it."
If you are interested, an ARC Ebook will be sent by email. You can contact emilyann@thelabyrinthwall.com.
Thank you all and enjoy.
Keep Imagining,

I'm giving away free copies of my second book, Imposter at Heathrow, in exchange for a review at Amazon.
"Alone in Heathrow, without her beloved Blackberry or so much as a penny, how will Jessica Ang get home? Catching sight of the greeters with name boards, Jessica has an idea: a scheme so wicked and daring that it might almost succeed. But can this conniving Oxford Masters student really pull off the ultimate disguise?
His boss has been struck down by the norovirus, so at the last minute Ben MacFarlane is drafted in to meet the mysterious Miss Fei-Yen Shiau. With only a grainy photograph and her name, Ben is unsure what to expect. But the reality of Fei-Yen exceeds Ben’s worst nightmares.
In this fast-paced game of cat and mouse, the stakes are high, but the prizes are glittering. Every ounce of wit and cunning will be needed to succeed. And a dismal fate awaits the one who fails."

Genesis Lawrence left her home and family in Brooklyn, New York ten years ago and never looked back. When you've spent your entire life protecting yourself from the ones that are supposed to love you, running to the other side of the country seems like the best idea ever. Emotionally bankrupt, she begins rebuilding her life after failed familial connections and a broken marriage leave her too raw to ever believe happiness exists for her. Work as a Physical Therapist in her rehab clinic is all she knows and all she wants.
Drew Marrack has spent the last year of his life trying to end the soul-searing pain of losing his mother by any means necessary, even if that means ending him—literally. After a tragic accident and a resulting disability that devastates the tattered remnants of his world, only one name can give him a brand-new start: Genesis.
Pain, heartache, secrets, and tragedy from the past bring them together, and then fight to tear them apart. Is new love strong enough to give them the fresh beginning they both need, or is this simply the beginning of their end?

What would your life look like if you knew and remembered all the things that were going on in your parent's life while you were still just a baby on the way?
You might not know all your family's secrets , but in this novel, an unborn Baby will tell you all its family's secrets.
You might recognize yourself in the story.
You might had also known those sorts of things while you were in your mother's belly, but you have forgotten them, just like this Baby will, the second it will be born.
TheBaby will forget that, even though it does have a dad who may not be its real father, it also won't remember what had its own Mom used it for, it won't remember that there was once a LoveOfDad'sLife or Dad'sBestFriend, and it especially will have no idea who TheBoss was.
But you can find all of that out. Right now. Check out how these people, who have no official names 'cause all of us could easily be some of them, mess around with each other's lives, justifying everything with the greatest power of all, love. But is it really all fair in love and war? You'll see for yourself, and TheBaby will just help you with sarcastic comments.

Synopsis:
Set against the backdrop of Bhan, a barbaric uncivilised world, this is the story of
the comyentis; an ancient humanoid species of Mindmergers. They are beautiful, sentient and empathetic beings. Using animal abilities in order to survive, they try to stay away from humans- their number one enemy- because since the beginning, being different, they have been hunted and are now driven to the brink of extinction.
During the search for more like her, freedom loving strong-willed Sula, part comyenti and part human, meets an attractive human farmer, Felix Rosinhill, and faces the first of many heart wrenching decisions she must make.
Will Sula be able to keep her promise to her mother by continuing The Search or commit to her lover? Or will she forsake the very part of her that makes her so unique?
What happens if she truly is the last of her kind?
Editorial reviews: A gripping psychological drama on the inherent greed and evil of man, dooming the planet and the struggle of one woman stuck between two worlds.
I'll read anything but no erotic or christian novels please. Drop me a line on: natasja.hellenthal@gmail.com

I would love to receive a review of my debut novel 'Collision- A Sci-Fi Romance. It's a love story set in the current day, but with a twist of Sci- Fi. The plot starts with the collision of a UFO and a US spy plane. The Spy plane is destroyed but the UFO appears to crash land on a beach in Northern England. When the security services arrive at the site the UFO has gone and the only clue to its whereabouts is a mysterious cat woman seen by a witness on the beach.
The following morning a young woman wakes up in a service station after sleeping there overnight. Traumatic memories of her escape, the night before, flood into her mind. Now her only chance of returning home is to find a scientist who shares her field of research, and persuade him to help her.

I saw that Quinn Checks In is free on Amazon, I have downloaded it, thank you. I will read and review it, but it'll be sometime end of January or February since I have a few books to review before that.






Hello Everyone,
I would like to offer a free copy of my book, Seeds of Transition, in exchange for a fair and honest review. I'm not looking for glowing ratings and favorable reviews, although they are nice :-) What I am really seeking is critical analysis.
Our situation is unique in that we have written a fiction work that we hope carries a message, a message that is important for all of us. Because of that, we want to make this book as good as possible. It is our hope to release a second edition in the coming year, and a large collection of critical evaluations will help us to get there.
I have mobi, epub, pdf and physical copies available. If you are interested, please feel free to email me directly at carolyn(dot)holland(underscore)author at yahoo(dot)com


It should fall under Historical Fantasy, but also delves into a number of other sub-genres.
Feel free to PM me on Goodreads or email me at troyjacksonauthor at yahoo(dot)com

I'm giving free copies of my debut fantasy eBook Legend of the Orbis in exchange for reviews on Amazon and Goodreads.

An Amazon "Top 50 reviewer" gave it a 5-star rating. This is what he had to say:
"Reading this initial novel for young adults by Australian author Calvin Gomes gives notice that there may be a successful new young adult fantasy series on the horizon...The quality of Gomes' writing is as crystalline clear as the finest engineering renderings...For lovers of young adult fantasy this book rates very high on the scale of competitors. Calvin Gomes likely has a major secondary career in the making."
This exchange finishes on 15 January 2014. Please message me with your email and I will send you a pdf or the coupon to download it free from Smashwords.com.
The book will appeal to those who enjoyed Wheel of Time, Eragon and Deltora Quest.
Back Cover Synopsis:
Three thousand years of peace is shattered when the monasteries of the Caladons are attacked by Krolls, the army of the evil being Molloch.
Griffin and Cassius, two Caladon students, evade death and find their dying Light Leader beside Ambrose, a middle-aged student. Before his last breath, their leader charges them with an incredulous mission: to seek the legendary Orbis, prophesied in their ancient text to have the power to save their world.
With the help of their tutor and fellow survivors, the students journey on a perilous quest, facing an army of darkness, ferocious creatures and even nature itself. But danger lurks from within their group. They must learn to band together to prevent the reign of pure evil.

Hi Natasja,
Your novel sounds fascinating and unique ! I have always been a fan of fantasy, although I do not write it. I would be delighted to read "Call Off The Search" and write a review for it. My email address is carolyn(dot)holland(underscore)author at yahoo(dot)com. I can accept your book in mobi format but I much prefer a physical copy. I have a small amount of spare time coming up, so I could have a review ready for you within a two week time frame.
Thanks,
Carolyn Holland


I have a brand new book out called, Before the Legend. It's a historical fiction work with a unique alternative twist. It's written mainly through the lens of a protagonist too young to read yet, but in the next 3 days will be faced with perplexing questions and tragedy that no child was meant to bear.
If you're interested I can provide a free eBook in any format you like in exchange for an honest review.
Thanks.

I have two books that I would love to get reviews for. I have them listed below along with available formats I can give out for free! I'd love reviews here on Goodreads or anywhere else (Amazon, Barnes and Noble, your blog, ect.) and I'm also up for any sort of author interviews or whatnot if you have a personal blog.
1. Seeking the Storyteller:

"I know of the Storyteller," it whispers into the man’s ear, "I’ve met him. If you promise not to kill me, I’ll take you to him."
Alix Andre DeBenit and Randall Fagan are Hunters, part of a hidden network of humans who track and kill the monsters lurking in our world so everyone else can pretend they don’t exist. But when a living shadow mentions someone called the Storyteller, Alix hesitantly decides to learn more.
They say the Storyteller lives in a massive library full of books that tell every being’s life story. He can read these books, rewrite them and change anything he wants, even if it’s already happened. That’s the power Alix wants, the power to bring his murdered family back and he’s determined to make the Storyteller do it.
He just has to decide if working with the very creatures he’s supposed to kill is worth it.
2. Double Hue:

"Maybe he's right. Maybe I am the cause of this. Maybe you were normal before meeting me."
When something tragic happens, you want nothing more than to close your eyes and make all of the pain go away. For Gable Peterson it's a little more complicated than that. When detective Maurice Ashford shows up at his door with news that his boyfriend, Avery Blair, has been found dead, Gable is left devastated. Seeking some sort of comfort, Gable closes his eyes and imagines a world where none of this happened.
Only, when Gable wakes up, he's surprised to see that Avery is still alive.
---You can send me a private message here if you are interested in either book, or you can email me at brichibi@yahoo.com
Thanks!

I'm looking for reviewers of Scarlett Rains' historical YA novels Promises of the Heart and The Finishing of Lady Amelia and her Historical Romance, The Seduction of a Bluestocking.
Copies are available in mobi or pdf format.
We request that reviews be posted within 4 weeks, on GoodReads and Amazon. Message me and leave a post on this thread if you are interested.
Thanks!
Here is the description of The Finishing of Lady Amelia:
Lady Amelia Fitzailwyn knows everything about everything... she certainly does not require Finishing School! If John and Alex had not tattled on her, she would still be home! It was fine for them to chase every skirt in the Kingdom but she has one kiss ...or two, and Uncle carts her off! Day one of her banishment, at Madame de Rigeur's Young Ladies Finishing Academie, is dismal. Her roommate is insular, Clarissa is cruel...and that spotty girl's rash is probably contagious! Then, she meets Monsieur Pelfrie, the handsomest man she has ever seen, and Amelia decides it might just be possible to endure the two long years away from home.
Enjoy this delightful tale of mischief and mayhem as a sheltered young woman comes of age in Georgian England. Includes excerpts from Scarlett Rains’ captivating Sisters of the Heart series!

Hi Carol,

With the help of Hannah, the group leader and his best friend, he manages to fly under the radar and keep out of trouble.
But when the junior class president is found dead under mysterious circumstances, the truce among Sean and his fellow vampires falls apart. As each person reveals a secret that could threaten their lives, Sean tries to control his hunger. Will he be able to turn over a new leaf, or will the temptation for Becky’s blood be too strong to overcome?

Escape. Tess has stolen $100,000 and two bricks of heroin from the owner of the go-go club she dances for in Rome. She asks her ex-boyfriend Kevin to fulfill the promise he once made to help her at any time and anywhere. Together they try to avoid being pursued around Europe, and they bend, twist, and crack under the pressure of chasing the feeling of freedom. Tess and Kevin succumb to the heroin as their only escape from the reality of being on the run as the boss of the club tracks them. They are never certain if they are getting closer or further away from their dreams of being free and if they will be able to get away.

My first NA novel Perfect Opposite is Live on Amazon Kindle.

If you are in the mood for romance read, please send me a message and I will send you ebook via mail. I would really appreciate your opinions!
to watch book trailer click here
The blurb:
Their wishes were simple and modest. Fate had other things in store though, and she can be a real bitch sometimes.
All he wanted was to get the job done and somehow to endure those long months playing nanny to a spoiled little rich girl. Would he make it through without strangling her with his bare hands? It was going to be much easier said than done.
All she wanted was to escape the past and live like any other nineteen-year-old girl. Her plan definitely didn’t include the arrogant, tattooed savage, with his awful mohawk hair and lack of social graces, whose only mission was to stick real close and mess up her life.
What will happen when two entirely different worlds collide?
Lies, betrayals, mistakes and bad choices. Can they be forgiven and forgotten?
Will they be ready to gamble with their hearts twice over?
Where will the scales fall? On the side of fear, or daring?
I really hope that you will find it interesting.
Love,
Zoya

Is anyone in the mood for murder?
I would love it if you'd review my book Too Quiet In Brooklyn and will provide either epub or mobi versions
The Blurb:
Something weird's happening. It's too quiet, at least for Brooklyn, so twenty-two-year-old Fina Fitzgibbons is not surprised when she stumbles upon a throttled woman in the heart of Brooklyn Heights and discovers that the dead woman's four-year-old grandson is also missing. She begins a wild hunt for the strangler-kidnapper, Ralph. During the chase, she resists falling in love with her boyfriend, Denny, an NYPD patrol officer, steps on the toes of Detective First Grade Jane Templeton, and uncovers secrets about her own past. In the end, Ralph has a deadly surprise for Fina.
If anyone's interested, message me Goodreads and I will make sure to give you a code so you can download it or else email you, whichever you prefer.
Thanks,
Susan
