Hi!I've already put up a message about my fantasy, Dead Bones, but I also have an urban fantasy series I'm keen to get more reviews/ratings on. Blood Work is the first book and it's free on Smashwords (all formats).
I'm keen to do swaps on other fantasy, urban fantasy or horror books.
Cheers, L.J.
Hi Parandus!Your book sounds intriguing, so that's a yes. The cover is gorgeous. I'll PM you for the details.
Cheers, L.J.
for anyone that has been holding off on reviewing my book The Asgardian Prophecies because I didn't have an e-book or a converted file: I now do so if you are interested in reviewing please PM me I have epub and PDF I also have access to mobi. Or you can purchase for 5.99 at Barnes and Noble and apple IBooks. It is also on kobo.
this is the book description Charles grew up with his mother in a small Oklahoma town, where he is known as a freak and a nobody. The fact that his dad is believed dead, and his best friend is the town drug dealer, doesn’t help him much. But that all changes on the day of his fifteenth birthday, when the guy he has thought was just a family friend shows up demanding that Charles is told the truth about his life and his world; his mom isn’t his mom, his dad was once a member of Odin’s guard (the Odinites) and is now possibly a traitor, and Charles is not named Charles. But his name is Magnus, and he is the prophecy child. He is then given his father’s ring (that has unknown powers) and after almost killing a school jock is whisked away to Asgard where he can learn to use his powers properly. Upon arriving in this new world he is introduced to the other Odinites, who are to be his fellow warriors, even the only female Odinite Helena whom he can’t decide whether she likes him or wants to kill him. With his powers and the powers of the others he is trained to save the nine worlds; that is unless the newly awakened Loki and the evil Goddess Hel; with the use of secrets Magnus desperately wants the answers to, can sway him to destroy the worlds instead.AND you can read more about the book at mine and my brother's web site www.thefatkidsbooks.com

My debut detective novel, THE GREEN PEARL CAPER: A DAMIEN DICKENS MYSTERY is available on Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/GREEN-PEARL-CAP.... The sequel, The White Russian Caper: A Damien Dickens Mystery, is scheduled for Amazon release on November 20th, and is available to order now (http://www.amazon.com/WHITE-RUSSIAN-C...).
I would be willing to provide a courtesy copy of either book (mobi or epub) to a lover of cozy or PI mysteries in exchange for an honest Amazon and/or goodreads review.
Wow! Looks to be going pretty well here. Congratulations, T. Do you mind if I ask if any of the readers and authors want to join my group Books Similar to Popular TV Shows? It's a group geared around people who like to read, as well as watch TV, and with the new fall season ahead of us, now would be the perfect time for people to join.
Hey Guys-- Not to be a poopy: Just an FYI, if nobody has previously mentioned it-- it's an FTC requirement to state that you received a free copy of a book for a review somewhere in the body of your review. Just wanted to let you know, because GR and Amazon will delete reviews that don't have such a disclaimer (should they find out). Something simple like: "I received a free copy of this book for an honest review" or something to that effect.
Okay, as you were. :-)
Mod
Hey Lia, thanks for joining the group and for the useful information.
T.C.
Yeah-- just don't want to see anybody getting into trouble. I know we all hate to read the legalese of stuff like TOS (and FTC regulations-- but my day job deals with government regulatory matters, so I have little choice!)-- but there is a good discussion on the GR Author Feedback group that kind of helps to answer a lot of questions about commercial and non-commercial reviews (and those grey areas): A note about commercial reviews
Hope it's helpful!
Hello everyone.I'm an author of horror and dark fantasy, with several published books, mostly novellas and short story collections. My latest story, The Weeping Lady, is being released in October as part of the Beyond the Wail paranormal anthology. And yes, my publisher, Xchyler Publishing, is looking for reviewers.
Thanks for inviting me, T.C. Hello everyone! I would welcome a review of my novel Hologram: The Seduction of Samantha Bowman. Here's the blurb:Playing an erotic fantasy game seems just the ticket to put a little sizzle back in Samantha Bowman’s life. Samantha escapes to a virtual reality invented by her husband’s company, Holotech, where she feels more sexy and desirable than she has in years. She becomes ever involved, unaware she’s become the pawn of a clever psychopath with deadly intentions.
Swept up in a vortex of circumstances, Samantha goes beyond the edge of reason to a place where she attempts the unimaginable . . .
A fast moving story woven with intrigue and skullduggery, love and second chances that races to the climax and a final clash between good and evil.
Hologram is available for free at most retailers
Thanks!

Hello all! Glad to join another Indie Author group! My book, Cross Academy could use some reviews. It's a post-apocalyptic YA Dark Fantasy novel involving demons, witches, action, and plain old good versus evil.
I'm more than willing to do a review swap with other authors but I can definitely provide a copy to any readers who may not have books to exchange. I can provide PDF, mobi, or ePub.
Here is a short blurb:
Imagine looking outside and seeing a giant brick wall. That wall surrounds your entire village. It blocks out the danger, it keeps the horrors out...but it locks you in.
The world nearly came to an end on Black Day when legions of demons crawled from beneath the earth and devoured two-thirds of the population in a single night. Sixteen-year-old Fox Fire witnesses the slaughter of her family and joins Cross Academy to help fight the demons. It's not long before she's recognized as a fully-fledged Demon-Hunter but her loyalty is put to the test when her best friend becomes possessed.
Fox must decide if she will slay her only companion or complete her duties as a Hunter.
Send me a message if you're interested. Remember, I'm open to review swaps!

Hello Everyone!This is an interesting group. I'm always happy to give away copies to honest reviewers. I also read fantasy novels and anything really really original.
If anyone fancies getting away from their normal genres and reading from the newly created Elfrotica genre let me know!
(or if this is already your normal reading genre then send me a friend request right now!)
My book does not take itself seriously (as you may have guessed) so bring a sense of humour, and some tissues (maybe extra ones if you plan on crying).
Warning: contains Bold Text!, italics!, m/m content, and vigorous monster banging!
Greetings everyone. Thanks so much for the invite. Looks like a really great group. I'm looking forward to discovering some interesting reads from fellow indie authors.
I self-published my debut novel, anemogram., in August and am on the hunt for reviews for it.
Here's what it's about:
A young girl emerges out of the woods. David is in the middle of wrestling with an unsatisfactory existence when she enters his life. He decides to look out for the girl, but he soon discovers she may not be all she seems.
Together they decide to seek out a place of safety, away from a world that could misunderstand their relationship. As their troubles come to the surface, events take a turn that will have life-changing consequences for the both of them.
If anyone is interested in reading and giving me their opinion and/or reviewing then please message me through GR and I'll get a copy to you.
Here's where you can find me:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
I can provide PDF, MOBI and EPUB - whichever is best for you!
Thanks :)

Presumed DeadGreetings and a shameless plug
Just rebranded "Dead of Nyte" as "Presumed Dead" (with plenty of editorial updates). I'm interested in readers and reviews. If you can spare a buck (with change), it's cheap at Amazon Kindle right now.

Congratulations on starting your group, Mr. T! And thank you for the invitation to join. I'd love to put my book up for review.
"The Improbable Wonders of Moojie Littleman,"debut YA novel by Robin Gregory, is the story of a disabled orphan who looses two sets of parents and seeks to find a family he can belong to.
Genre: YA, Magical Realism, Coming-of-Age
Pages: 294 (in print)
10 free ebooks available to first takers
KIRKUS says: "The book’s mysticism is lucidly presented, and its magical realism is effective, moving, and heartening. A lively, original take on a story of a boy with more limits—and more magic—than most."
Description: Set at the turn of the nineteenth century, "The Improbable Wonders of Moojie Littleman" is a heartrending, historical tale, with a dose of humor and magical realism. After his mother dies, eight year-old, disabled Moojie is sent to live with his grandfather at St. Isidore’s Fainting Goat Dairy, where he befriends a clan from an alternate universe. Six years later, this forbidden friendship and subsequent events reveal an extraordinary boy’s tale of loss and connection, first love, and self-discovery.
Please contact me and let me know your preference for ebook format: www.MadMysticalJourney.com
I look forward to hearing your comments!
Warm blessings,
Robin
Hi everyone, nice to join the group. I will try to pick a book to review in the near future. This is my own latest:Dog!: You'll Never Look At Your Dog the Same Way Again.
Blurb:
So you think you know your dog?
Bazza is an easy-going middle-aged college lecturer with a taste for weed, porn, beer and redheads. When he adopts a rescue dog, he sees nothing odd about the animal. Then a Himalayan monk comes to visit, and senses something strange.
Dog! is a powerful story of love and loss, sin, redemption and dog mess. You’ll never see your pet the same way again.
Hi, everyone. Thanks for the invitation to join the group, T.C. I'm looking forward to reviewing other authors' books, and having authors review mine, as well as getting to know some other Indie authors struggling with the same issues. Maybe, together, we can figure this process out! I have a book fair to attend for the next 3 days in hopes of selling some books (hope it's not too deadly!) I'll post info about my novel when I have a chance in the coming days.

Thanks very much!
Hi I'm Camilla and I just published my debut novel I Wish for You
I would love to provide anyone interested an ecopy for review on Goodreads and possibly Amazon.Here's the blurb:
If all your wishes could suddenly come true, what would you do?
A year ago when the love of her life dumped her for no apparent reason, Ally thought she had hit rock bottom. But now that she has seen him with another woman, and one she knows only too well, her life seems to have reached a whole new level of low.
Yet, when she stumbles across an ancient object infused with magical powers and a stranger with a dark past appears out of nowhere promising to grant all her wishes, she finds herself hoping again.
Suddenly Ally’s life is turned upside down; she has a mystery to solve, a rival to beat, a millenarian curse to break, and well, she wants to have some fun playing with her new “gifts”…
But can she wish her way to happily ever after?
If you are interested please reply to this post and I will send you a direct message to share the book with you.
Thanks,
Camilla
