I recently published my first novel via Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing, and after getting a lot of positive reviews from friends, family, friends-of-friends and so on, I'm looking to get reviewed by people without any bias. As much as I told people to be honest, you can never be sure. I know one of my 5-star reviews so far is from a total stranger and that was simply the best feeling. To be clear though, I'm not just looking for 5-stars, I'm looking for proper reviewers, and hope to earn your 5-stars :)
Synopsis: Left Behind is an action/horror story, set against the backdrop of a fictional but easily relatable modern world. Told from the perspective of the group's would-be leader, it focuses on the personal story of several friends and neighbours in a city stricken by an apocalyptic plague, turning living people into walking corpses.
The characters are savvier than the average horror movie cast, and use this genre-awareness to make plenty of commentary on Apocalyptic Fiction as their story progresses from cautious ignorance of the rising pandemic, to a desperate bid to escape their doomed city. While the Zombie Apocalypse might be a familiar setting, I hope I've done something unique with it. No spoilers.
If you liked it and would be interested in reviewing the whole thing, there are a couple of ways we can go about it. It'd be great if you'd buy it on Amazon for 99p (or your country's equivalent) because then a review on Amazon would have the "verified purchase" note. However, I'm begging for reviewers, not 35p royalties! :p
So the main way to request a review copy would be to drop me a message with your preferred email address and format, and I'll send you the MOBI or HTML so you can upload it to your eReaders.
Flagging a post will send it to the Goodreads Customer Care team for review.

I have a link to the opening five chapters (and a bit of the sixth, it's just where the Amazon Previewer goes up to).
