Wayzgoose Press | 9 comments We're about a month away (pending artwork, final proofreading--the usual things!) of a 2-book series from Jill Braden: "The Devil's Concubine" and "The Devil Incarnate." We're hoping to have some reviews ready to post soon after release--some popular sites where we'd like to advertise won't take books unless they have a certain # of reviews. (We would be willing to hold the release for a week or so if reviews were imminent.)

We're hoping for reviewers who:

1) Have an Amazon account as well as a Goodreads account (it is FINE to post on the review there that you received a complimentary copy in exchange for a frank review)

2) Have reviewed at least some books before, either on Goodreads or Amazon. Book bloggers are especially welcome, and we could provide giveaway copies if your blog receives a reasonable amount of reader traffic.

3) Read and enjoy books in this genre.

4) Would be interested in reviewing both books. However, if you do not like the first book, we would not expect you to forge ahead with the second. ;) If, in fact, you do not enjoy the first book after a few chapters, and would like to not finish it/not review it, that's fine too (nobody should have to finish a book they don't like), but we'd appreciate being notified of your decision in that case.

The first book (which definitely works as a stand-alone):

"The Devil's Concubine", by Jill Braden (approx. 74,000 words)
QuiTai, ruthless concubine of Levapur's mysterious crime lord, the Devil, receives an unexpected invitation to cocktails with disgraced Thampurian Kyam Zul. She doesn't trust Kyam enough to drink anything he pours, and won't help him no matter how hard he begs – or threatens. But when QuiTai's ex-lover is murdered, Kyam is the only one who knows the name of the killer, and he won't tell QuiTai unless she helps him first. The torpid back alleyways of Levapur's tropical colony hide more than lovers. There are things with claws, beings with venomous fangs, and spies lurking in the jungle. Most of them want to keep their secrets. One wants QuiTai dead.

The second book picks up where "The Devil's Concubine" left off:
"The Devil Incarnate", by Jill Braden (approx. 83,000 words)
There’s no rest for the wicked, especially for the Devil. While QuiTai recovers from her last adventure, Levapur is turning into a police state. The Pongonese are pushed to the brink of rebellion against their colonial masters, the Thampurians – but who is behind it, and why? As the new Devil, QuiTai must wield her power and use her brilliant mind to outsmart her mysterious nemesis before a bloody uprising erupts.

For Advance Review Copies, we can offer a .pdf or your choice of e-reader format (.mobi, .epub, etc.). Will include cover art and maps. May include a stray typo still, although of course we hope not! But please understand these are pre-release copies. Paperbacks will be available upon publication, but not for Advance Review Copies. However, interested reviewers who can only accept paperbacks could ask to receive a review copy in the future.

Hoping to hear from interested reviewers as soon as possible, but are open for requests until the end of April.
