Would you be interested in reading and reviewing my romance/sci-fi/thriller book?
This is Hunting Grounds: Book 2 of the Immortal series.
Short description:
A genre-bending mash-up for fans of sci fi, suspense, and slow-burn romance. Immerse yourself in an adventure of parasite-induced immortality, genetic manipulation, and the collision of mortal and immortal lives—full of heart-pounding thrills, forbidden love, and a desperate struggle to save humanity.
If you're interested, I've set up a google form for signing up to my ARC team:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FA...
The form has the full description and triggers so you can see if it's for you. I'll distribute ebook copies in late August/early September ahead of a Nov 1 launch.
You can read Book 2 without reading the earlier books and you'll understand most everything, but there is a throughline to the plot for the series. Each book features a different romantic couple. If you want to look at the earlier books, Book 1 (Immortal) is available on KU, or I'll also set up a free option for my ARC team around the same time as I send out ARC copies of Book 2.
If you want to read something shorter and see if you like the story (and my writing!), you can pick up the standalone prequel novella in the series, Book 0: Mortal Prey free on my website when you sign up to my email list at https://veduncan.com.
Thanks for considering and happy reading! :)

I recently released my first book in the Bane War series, https://www.amazon.com/Fury-Bane-War-...
Series theme is Heaven's angels, technological beings, waging eternal war against Navia's demons, magical beings. 5000 years ago they signed a peace treaty, but now wage war through proxies. Yava is the latest battleground.
Saffa is this book's protagonist, a sassy battlemage wielding a longsword while casting fire and ice magic.
The book takes inspiration from Slavic mythology and Ukraine's fight for freedom.
I had 3 women beta read and they gave mostly positive feedback, but now I'm trying to get more eyes and brains on the story. I'm eager to improve the dark fantasy and romance pieces, as I have at least six more books planned.
Genre is DESR (dark epic science romantasy). Content rating is MA.
If you are interested in reading, let me know via message or email to author@banewar.com, and I can get you a hardback, paperback, or .epub copy, whatever you want.

I'd be thrilled if you'd consider reading and reviewing my book - Poinsettia Lane. It's a small town, slow burn romance with found family and all the feel good vibes - a perfect read as a palette cleanser between those other dark/intense books, or when you're in the mood for something light and easy.

Blurb:
What do accidental stalking, panic attacks, and landscaping have in common?
Everly’s life is exactly as it should be, until her estranged sister comes back to town the same day Asim Jabbar knocks on her door, nearly knocking Everly off her slipper-clad feet and her anxious heart right out of her chest.
After the flirtiest plant delivery of her life, Everly tries to find her Hot Delivery Guy without becoming a stalker, then digs herself into a hole when she enlists his help re-landscaping her yard. An already immaculate yard that does not need any new plants.
Asim agrees, on one condition: that Everly get her perfectly manicured hands dirty and join him. Despite Asim turning her life upside down, Everly can't stop thinking about the muscular, tattooed plant dad.
But when Asim’s world collapses and past scars threaten their future, Everly doesn’t realize all that Asim has sacrificed for her until it’s too late.

Blurb
Sadistic work coach James Burgess has finally bagged his dream job after three years of trying, two hundred miles from home in rural Gwynedd, north Wales. But with promotion firmly in mind, cutting the jobcentre's wage bill soon becomes his sport, at any cost, leaving a trail of chaos and hunger in his wake.
As house prices soar and job prospects dwindle, many of James' ''casualties of war'' wind up at Morywelon homeless hostel, where the waiting list is insatiable. Managing such a place takes gall, and Denise Groves' ten-year stint certainly took its psychological toll. But she's back for a second spell, to the job she loved and held since leaving school with no GCSEs.
The catch? Well, this time, their security guards have been laid off...
Denise fiercely defends residents against ignorant scorn the wider community assumes to inflict, so is held in the highest regard by most. But tough decisions must be made, and hell-raisers don't always leave when asked nicely...
Denise needs her support network more than ever, but it's fallen off a cliff. After a decade in the 'single lane', all best mate Jules wants is to set her up. Great, if only for Jules' dodgy choice of men. Seedy, serial cockney scammer Rick is her latest, and has a few turbulent potential answers for Denise's 'problem'.

Two Novellas
Two life-affirming stories of ordinary people in extraordinary situations.
The Golden Flyswatter takes us to a retro dive bar in Santa Monica, California, where young Natalie Schoenfeldt, an ingenue from Wisconsin, gets a job cocktailing. She soon realizes that the patrons are not who they seem, and Hollywood opportunities may not be either.
The Walk of Washington takes us to present-day Philadelphia, where a young filmmaker is playing piano to pay the rent. When he meets an older gentleman who looks a lot like Benjamin Franklin, the most excellent adventure of his young adult life begins.

Anyway, I have ARC signups open for a romance between a merman and a lighthouse keeper (a woman) in the 1800s! It's not smut fyi but it's super romantic and sweet. She's treated like an outcast because she has a job, fearlessly saves men, and is good at inventing, and he feels like a failed mermaid for not wanting to hurt others (because I based mermaids off dolphins and they're kind of awful lol). But together, they finally feel seen. 🥰
Reviews would ideally be posted on May 1st but you could let me know if you needed more time.

Hi! Do you like urban fantasy? I'm looking for readers for my 3rd book in the series. I'm also offering to send the first two (one at a time) so you can get caught up. Which means, I'd understand if your review comes a little later than launch day.
Here's the blurb:
Since Hally’s fated-friend, Nolan, upended her exile mere months ago, they’ve saved the elven realm from a ruthless mage, a deadly curse, and a war with the fae. Now terrorists have struck the elven capital and the royals are being held hostage. It’s Hally and Nolan to the rescue, again.
Despite a family crisis in Paris, they’re forced to drop everything and scramble for an open portal as the network collapses. Every victory has a cost and as secrets surface and sacrifices mount, Hally and Nolan must ask themselves: can they save the realm without losing each other?
*picture on form is not part of the cover. Cover reveal will be August 23th.
Here's the sign up sheet.
