The title of the book is Shards, by Robert James Cross. Here is a book trailer and a synopsis:

Synopsis:
Shards follows the journey of a Vietnam War veteran as he returns home to the United States, only to find himself entangled in a supernatural battle against an otherworldly group of prostitutes in the sin and heat of Las Vegas. This non-linear tale shifts between different times, places, and forms. Giving the reader a 1:1 experience with the protagonist through his own confusion, hallucination, and dementia.
Let me know if you're interested in reviewing this title! Thanks for your consideration!

My fantasy is a bit off the beaten path, but might hit the sweet spot for you. "Desert Enchantments" is a novelette duo (130 pages) designed to introduce new readers into my series. The first story is about 13k words, and the second, 18k. There's a romantic attachment in the 2nd story, but this is not fantasy romance.
Check out BookSirens for a sample (https://booksirens.com/book/PGEA6N3/G...) as well as the ARCs themselves. Below is the blurb.
Prophecies, Faeries, Djinni, and Werewolves. A New Fantasy World Awaits…
A Class Five mage, Khalid developed the only long-distance magical weapon in existence: the dreaded djinni, who spin across the deserts, destroying everything in their path. Now, he faces the kind of challenge only an Oracle could have predicted.
In "Recasting Fate," we join Khalid as he attempts to rout the European invaders from the Sahara Desert. Except a faerie breezes in with an offer he can't refuse.
In "Djinn Swarm," Khalid battles for self-control after he discovers the only thing more powerful than a djinn: love.
These two novelettes are a perfect gateway into the Fifth Mage War series, introducing new characters and new cultures as the world moves inextricably toward a cataclysmic war.
Best,
Laura

Derek’s world is about to change forever—again.
After his father’s stroke, Derek Weston dropped out of college and returned home to help his parents with the family business, Oak Landing Apartments. Now living on the premises as the groundskeeper and handyman, he never expected the girl he’d secretly crushed on in high school to move into a unit right before Christmas or stir up desires he thought long gone.
Krista Hartley needs a fresh start away from her overbearing parents, but falling for the tattooed hottie who ignored her back in school wasn’t in the plans. Despite old hurts, Derek’s hot kisses and strong arms offer the shelter she craves.
When another woman sets her sight on Derek and drives a wedge between him and Krista, they’ll have to decide if their relationship is real, or just a winter fling.

I have a 31K suspenseful friends to lovers romance for review called My Small-Town Protector, It goes live on Amazon on 30 Jan. The protagonist goes back to her home town and to her high school crush to escape an abusive ex. If that's your thing, please let me know that you're interested and I'll send you the link.
Best wishes,

Prelude of Fire: The Gailean Quartet, Book 1
Hello there!! I'm an author of a YA epic fantasy series. Previously published, but I had to leave the publisher last year due to an unfortunate negative experience. So, like my characters, I'm on a quest! I'll be republishing later this year and am questing for early readers for my ARC for Book 1, Prelude of Fire.
Prelude of Fire has found family, a good vs. evil quest, emotional twists and turns, and elemental and musical magic. One reader says it's like "if Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings had a baby."
ARC is available in PDF, Epub, and Mobi.
If you're interested in helping me out, drop a comment or message me here directly. I appreciate any help I can get for a successful relaunch. Thanks for considering!
Here's the blurb to help you decide if you're interested:
A desperate mission. Sinister sorcery. Can she find the seven prism shards to stop the world from being destroyed?
Ashlai, a young Fyre mage who can harness powers of flame from the sun, yearns to know about her kin. Her adoptive elven father refuses to let her travel abroad with her brother, and she despairs of ever knowing who she really is. But when the new king’s vicious spell attacks her forest home, she flees toward that unknown past—and an uncertain destiny—guided only by the strange melody in her head and a piece of broken prism.
Determined to save the land from the enchanted drought burning everything in its path, Ashlai searches for six other magical fragments to overthrow the ruthless king. With the help of a shape-shifting thief, two squabbling bards, and a snarky water elf, she races toward a perilous confrontation…and a life-changing truth.
Can Ashlai fight fire with fire to defeat the devastating spell before it consumes the entire land? And can she survive the secrets she discovers without losing her new friends, her family, and even herself?
Prelude of Fire is the thrilling first book in The Gailean Quartet YA epic fantasy series. Featuring a diverse cast, high-stakes quests, and music melded with magic, you’ll love Schulze’s emotional journey.
