I hope that you will consider reading and reviewing this new book!
Offering heart-stopping adventure and forbidden romance, this break-out young adult novel delivers a story as shocking as The Hunger Games with a thought-provoking allegory about the casual acceptance of slaughtering animals for food.
The book alternates in perspectives between Hawk, an 18-year-old boy, who lives in a human village deep in the forest, hidden from the giant ones, and Mira, a 17-year-old girl, whose people came to this land several generations ago and were told by their gods that hunting the small human animals would save them from starvation.
Mira has grown up in a medieval town in this new land, and she is now at an age when she is being pressured to find a boy to marry.
However, when she learns that the human animals in the forest are rapidly being hunted to extinction, she sets aside any thoughts of settling down and becomes determined to save the wild humans from the hunters—and the butchers.
Her resolve is tested when she comes face to face with Hawk, who has secretly entered Mira’s town on a terrifying mission. Mira’s involvement with this wild human boy could have far-reaching consequences—it could help save humanity . . . or end it.

hey, this sounds like a super cool book, I'll request it and I look forward to reading it!

I thought I would share my ARC with you in case it could be of interest ☺️ I’m looking for ARC readers for Wings of Death, Book one in my Kingdom of Angels series. This is a slow burn Urban Fantasy/Romantasy, available for review on BookSprout.
A war in the heavens could be hell on Earth…
From the moment I turned eighteen and became a guardian angel, I was thrown into a world of chaos. Now I'm bonded to a gorgeous human named Kyle who just may be my downfall...because Kyle isn't just any human. He has a secret. One that could get us both killed.
And to make matters worse, he can't remember what it is.
When the most powerful angels from the Kingdom of Galespo descend to Earth—with the winged enforcers' hellbent on destroying my human charge and my Kingdom of Silanthia—I'll need to help Kyle regain his memories, uncover dark secrets, and bring the truth to light to save them...a venture that just might cost me more than my wings.
War is on the horizon and fates hang in the balance, but one wrong move will bring Kyle and my Kingdom down with me.

Are you still taking ARCs and would you be interested in reading and reviewing a 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!

War brought Radoslav and Dunya together. If she hadn't become a refugee, and he hadn't taken a job as an interpreter at the camp where she was sent, they never would have met, let alone gotten married.
Now, they're taking the first tentative steps toward a peaceful future for themselves and their adopted son. Settled in a fishing village far from the conflict zone, they have good reason to hope the worst is behind them. They could not be more wrong...

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.

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.

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.
