Marni (wonderwmn999) The group has been approached by author Liz Gruder for a Read 4 Review of her book Starseed by Liz Gruder Starseed. The deadline for all reviewers of this book is 11:59pm EST on April 25th.

Goodreads info for Starseed:

Kaila Guidry has always known she is different. After all, her mother insists Kaila hide her hair under a tin foil shield and a wig before leaving the house. When Kaila meets Jordyn Stryker one day at school, she starts to understand the origin of her mother’s seemingly irrational fears.

Jordyn Stryker was born and raised far from Earth, a starseed, one of six new students sent undercover to Louisina’s Bush High to learn human ways. When Kaila is pushed to her limit by high school bullying and cruelty, Jordyn steps in and awakens her to a new reality, and to love. Out of loyalty to him, Kaila looks the other way when the real purposes of the starseed begin to unfold.

As the horrific plan behind the starseed visit to Earth moves forward, Kaila and Jordyn, caught in an impossible love, must face who they really are and decide where their true loyalties lie.


The author will be giving out 25 copies in PDF and mobi formats via email. To request, please post your email address AND the format you would like. It is your responsibility to check for the book and download it. It is also your responsibility to contact me immediately if you do not receive the book or have a problem. In exchange for the free book, the author requests an honest review of her book not just on Goodreads, but also on Amazon USA, UK, and any of your blogs or reviewing sites. Once you are finished with your review and have posted it on Goodreads, you are REQUIRED to post your Goodreads link to it on this thread.

Even though this book is being gifted to you please do not share it with anyone. It is unethical, disrespectful and illegal to share books provided to you for reviews.

Further Info from the group, not the author: If you do not complete the e-book within the time given, and you do not post your link on this thread or I do not hear from you stating that you intend to finish and review the book, you will not be allowed to participate in future Read 4 Review events. This is to prevent people from getting complimentary books over and over without fulfilling their obligation.

Do not message me nor the author requesting the book. All info is to be posted here. This for the ease of the author and the mods and fairness to all. If you do not wish to share your email publicly, please do not request.

If there are any other authors looking to do this with our group, please message me. You MUST be willing to provide copies, free of charge, to the reviewers.

REVIEWERS: PLEASE read the topic titled "Reviewers." All the rules are listed under there. We will not allow any excuses of "I didn't know" because the rules are listed and if you have any questions you can always message me. http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...

Deadline for review is 11:59pm EST on 4/25/13 (April 25th).

Katharina Gerlach | 88 comments Here's my review, and believe me it's a flattering one. I generally don't give out bad reviews, but I was thoroughly disappointed by this story. Sorry. I will also post it to Amazon, although I hate giving bad reviews. But posting on Amazon was requested in the R4R guidelines, so it shall be.

Marni (wonderwmn999) I'm going through every open topic so this is not addressed to any one person. Please remember to put substance in your reviews. I've stressed this again and again. The author has provided you their work to you free, please show respect by providing a honest, but complete review. Reviews are seen by the entire goodreads community and can make or break a book. Thanks!


Emily Thanks for the opportunity to review this book. I'll add my review on Amazon as well.

No problem, I gave you a 2 day extention so you don't have to rush. I do understand computer problems. I had to replace my cable modem last weekend. Left the house with it working, came home Friday night (after a huge storm) to find it completely dead.
