Lily (starlightmoonlight) | 30 comments Hello fellow book-lovers!

My name is Lily and I do beta reading, freelance editing, and book reviewing for indie authors. In terms of reviews, I read and post all of my reviews for authors on Goodreads, Amazon, B&N, and/or Bookbub (depending on your preferences). I’d love to help in exchange for a copy of your work if you could use an honest review on any of the platforms I mentioned. I read the most of YA, fantasy, romance, and Christian fiction, but I'm open to reading everything excluding LGBTQ+ fiction and erotica. Please feel free to contact me here on Goodreads or at lilylyu7@gmail.com.

All the best,

Lily

1st off, I want to thank you for having me as a member. My name is Hadassah Ru. I am new to this group, but I’ve been on Goodreads for a small bit. I am a Christian author. I am going to be releasing my memoir series titled: EX-THE-C EXPOSING THE COUNTERFEIT. The 1st installment of the series is titled: “Everything that Glitters”. I will be launching it in the spring.

EX-THE-C EXPOSING THE COUNTERFEIT: "Everything that Glitters" Memoir Series is a collection of true life events in which Hadassah Ru encountered. During these trials, she encountered Jesus through the Holy Spirit. Over time, God revealed nefarious schemes the enemy used against her. Now, she is revealing those truths to the lost throughout the series.

Hadassah Ru (hadassahru) | 12 comments Good day Stephen,

Thanks so very much for responding. I am planning to write at least 4 in the series. It all depends on the new escapades the Lord walks me through this new phase of my life, lol.

"Everything that Glitters" is about the early season of my young adult life where I'd made some not so good choices. The Lord began drawing me closer to Him, but then, the enemy blocked us by using the tactic of sending me a counterfeit "relationship" & that was a rollercoaster ride went downhill from there & I ended up in a really bad situation that most just would not believe.

The 2nd installments is titled, "Little Girl Lost". This book will tell my story of how ended up in the situation written of in "Everything that Glitters."

Thanks for following my reviews!

Oh, wow! Awesome! Thank you, Lilyy!

Lily (starlightmoonlight) | 30 comments Yeah, you're welcome! Do you have an author account on Goodreads?

I have 1 account. However, I have been having a difficult time getting my book added & connected to my account, so, when trying to do so, I've mistakenly made like 2 or 3 book adds. I've been trying to delete the other, so, I can get my author page up & going once I publish my book series. Any suggestions on how I can do that? I could greatly use the help, lol.

Lily (starlightmoonlight) | 30 comments Oh, I see. I'm not an author, but I've heard of quite a few other authors complaining about something similar. I would definitely contact the Goodreads help center and tell them about what's going on so that they can fix it for you. Having an author page on here is pretty important, so you'll want to get it done!

Yes, you are so right & I'm going to work on that now. Thank you.

Lily (starlightmoonlight) | 30 comments Yeah, no problem!! Let me know if you have any other questions, and I'd be happy to try and help :)

JC Brown (authorjcbrown) | 8 comments Hello I'm JC!
I am looking for reviews for my book Beelzebub The Gift of Gluttony Its the second book in the Sinful Seven Novels and just released this month. The book is already released, however I still have some ARC's available on Booksprout. The book is also currently listed on Amazon KU.

Even though it is book two (Asmodeus The Gift of Lust being the first) you do not have to read them in order. each has their own story completed in each book.

However if you do choose to read them in order you may catch up on some Easter eggs hidden within.

The sinful seven novels are Paranormal Romance that may contain some dark themes.

W.J. Cintron | 15 comments My book is FREE on Kindle Unlimited. Ill Shadows (Ill Shadows, #1) by Jean Nasser
It was released less than a month ago and it's in need of reviews.
https://amzn.to/3shNu3d
You can contact me on hello@starvingwords,com

It's a PNR with a new take on gothic. Character driven thriller that touches mental health, humanity & digs deep into each characters' pain. Three romance arcs, including a w/w-main sapphic relationship. It's a hate to lovers arc, slow burn, Takes off on chapter 35/and doesn't slow down.

Two quotes from the book & an excerpt from the w/w main relationship:

AMBER: ...Pain like this should never be appeased.
If touching her is a sin, I’ll kneel on rock salt every single day and scratch the wounds until they bleed, just to spend eternity soaring against her skin.

NATALIE: Caterpillars don’t have a single bone in their bodies, but I guess a new species evolved in me, capable of crawling fast and up against the deepest walls in my body. Squeezing their muscles inside me every single time her lips get in touch with my skin.

Excerpt:
AMBER: With a lack of direction, I step out of the bathroom and, with hunger, press her against the wall. There’s a strong smell of lavender in the air, which never soothes me when I’m with her.
“Don’t let go,” I tell her, not wanting her legs to part my waist. She looks at me, but I’m too intoxicated by the way she smells to be able to read what’s written in her eyes. I kiss her hard on the lips. She kisses me back, tightening her grip on me. It’s all the direction I need. I press my body against hers. My hands are on her waist, keeping her in place. She closes her eyes.
I nibble her chin and kiss the length of her neck. She tastes like vanilla, so I savor the sweetness of it. As I kiss my way down, I discover the freshness she brings to something so familiar to me but entirely new for her. I let my palate indulge with her rawness since I’m the first to kiss her like this. She wears her emotions raw over her skin, like open wounds, since hate and pain are all she knows.

Hello Trae! I believe we are already in contact. I'm not sure if I received the package from you, though! You sent it out, right?

Cassio Ferreira (cassioferreira) Hello Lilly,

I hope you are well.

Would you like to review my novel, 'Ignis'? I would love to have your honest opinion on it. You can get a free copy here: https://claims.prolificworks.com/free...

Here is the synopsis of the book:

A FLAME SPREAD, IS NEVER DEAD
In a world with no water, food, or fuel, stranded humans have to use the only energy source they have access to, their bodies. By trading lifespan in exchange for the ability to use the alien metal, ignium, Settlements are able to endure the inhospitable environment of Ignis.

When the Raptor reappears and destroys one of the Settlements, all hope seems lost. The wisest teacher of the Fahrenheit tribe, Trother, and his starved apprentice, Oli, must join forces and find a way to stop the destruction of the Burrows. Will they be able to stop the Raptor with the help of the last seven AIs, the Oranges, Yellows, and the Blue King of their tribe?

This is a science-fiction story about how sacrifice and love can help mankind endure the hardest of trials.

I sincerely hope you enjoy it. It's YA and sci-fi.

Greetings,

Cássio F.
