Experienced ARC Reader

[Brianna]

Hi y'all!!

My name is Brianna and I am an experienced ARC reader for both physical and digital reads. I've worked with several publishers and work with Netgalley as well.

I have very diverse interests in genres. I read horror, fantasy, romance, and YA. I also read manga as well. I am very open minded and give 100% honest feedback. If I end up not liking a book, I always reach out to the author or publisher before posting reviews. I don't have any trigger warnings I look out for or won't read, though miscarriages do hit a little too close to home, I can still read them.

I have a TikTok that I post book reviews on (@briannas_booktok) as well as a bookstagram (@briannagshrout). I have a new book blog on medium (medium.com/@briannashrout) that I do in depth reviews.

You can contact me on here or my email is briannaarmer@gmail.com. I look forward to speaking with you!

Sincerely,
Brianna

Hello Brianna

Would you consider reviewing an ebook set in another culture and country?

It is bit of a slow burn and combines three genres: Family Saga, Contemporary Second Chance Romance and Coming of Age Story.

Perhaps a quick glance through the links listed below will help you decide...

Here's the link to the ebook on Amazon : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CWRG72HS

Here's the Goodreads Link: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Here's a (very informative) blog post about the ebook: https://sandhyajoseph.com/mr-nice-mr-...

And this is my email address in case you'd like to contact me author@sandhyajoseph.com

Hi Brianna!

I'm looking for ARC readers for Hunting Grounds, book 2 of a sci-fi/romance/thriller series.

Short description:
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 got a google form set up for people to sign up to my ARC team here:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FA...

It's got the full description of the book and contact info.

You could jump into the series at book 2 and understand most everything, but if you also wanted to read book 1 (Immortal), it's available free in KU, and I'll also have the opportunity for my ARC team to get it for free around the same time as ARCs for HG. (I definitely need more reviews for Book 1, too!)

I'll have ARC copies ready by late Aug/early Sept for a Nov 1 launch.

Also, if you wanted to read something shorter for free to see if you like the series (and my writing), you can get the prequel novella (Book 0: Mortal Prey) for free when you sign up to my email list on my website at veduncan.com/sign-up.

You can also send me an email at veduncan@veduncan.com, I'd love to hear from you!

Have a great day!

Hi Brianna,
I hope you are well. I wanted to mix family drama with romance, and I hope you have the time to review it for me.


The new book is called Beth Triumphant: A Dramatic Small-Town Friends to Lovers Romance. Here's the synopsis:

In this steamy, small-town romance, the line between friendship and love blurs against the backdrop of deep family secrets and betrayal.

A young woman, long overshadowed by her domineering mother and betrayed by her vengeful sister, who has been secretly involved with her egotistical boyfriend, finally breaks free from the toxic ties that have held her back. But she’s not alone in her struggle. The one man who has always been by her side, patiently waiting in the shadows of the friend-zone, is ready to show her what real love looks like.

As she embarks on a journey of self-discovery, she finds herself not just rebuilding her life, but redefining who she is—professionally, emotionally, and sexually. With each step, her connection with her most steadfast of friends deepens, igniting a craving that neither of them can deny.

Filled with intense drama, unbridled passion, and a love that burns hotter than ever, this is a story of reinvention and the kind of romance that makes you believe in second chances.


Many thanks in advance.

Tamsin

About the Book:
In a world on the brink of destruction, Boren, a hero driven by vengeance, teams up with a powerful dragon to face ancient demigods and an apocalyptic plot threatening two realms. It’s a tale of dark magic, mythical creatures, and epic battles, where every choice could mean the difference between salvation and annihilation.

Hi Brianna,

Thanks for your generous invitation.

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.

P.S. no miscarriages in my book.

Hi Brianna!
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 or when you're in the mood for something light and easy.

Poinsettia Lane

Here's the ARC sign-up link:

Thank you so much for your consideration!

~~~

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.

Hi, I'm currently looking for reviewers for this book:

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 Brianna,

I am currently looking for reviewers for my epic fantasy novella, SON OF THE THUNDER GODDESS. Check out the blurb below and see if this sounds like something you'd be interested in reading. There's also a character in the story with your name (although with only one "n") if that's a selling point haha

EVEN GODS DIE.

The city of Bridunum is besieged.

Saorlach the demigod leads an army of thousands to its walls, eager to pillage and kill. Covered from head to toe in tattooed runes, he bears the blessing of the gods themselves. No weapon can pierce his skin.

One by one, Saorlach challenges the champions of Bridunum, taunting and killing them at will. Heroes fall. Morale weakens. Saorlach’s victory is imminent.

Only one man can stand against him.

Athewain, a lowly shepherd of Logren’s countryside, longs for a life of heroic adventure. When Saorlach’s warriors slaughter his village, he sets out on a quest for vengeance, assisted by an ancient, long-forgotten god known only as the Maker.

Now, Athewain must wield the power of this unknown deity to defeat his divinely-protected enemy and thwart his bloody dreams of conquest.

But there are enemies within Bridunum as well as without. And the gods, once angered, do not forgive.

If Athewain fails, his dream of justice dies with him. And all of Logren will fall to ruin.

Son of the Thunder Goddess is an epic fantasy novella inspired by the myth and history of Celtic, Iron-Age Britain. It features feuding gods, immersive worldbuilding, and epic, visceral battles.

This is the series blurb: Enter a world of dragons, unicorns, elves, orcs, demons, and all sorts of magical beings.

She dreams of a world where humans, elves, and all beings of lore celebrate their own magic within. She vows to bring light to dark. Enlightenment to the unknown. Power to the weak. Because she is the Dragon Queen of legend. The one foretold by prophecy from the gods...and now all she has to do is learn to control her temper first...

Hiiiii!

I'm Sara, and 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.

The Lighthouse Keeper and the Mermaid

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.
