New ARC reader!

[Samantha]

Hey everyone! I’m Sam and I have rediscovered my passion for reading just over a year ago! After all the reading in school I was turned away from picking up a book. Now I can’t seem to put one down!

I would love to read your books for my review! I prefer physical copies but would be open to digital copies as well. I’m not huge on nonfiction books as I feel my brain can’t keep up.

If interested in letting me read your books my email is samantha_ortutay@aol.com or you can message me on here!

Hope to hear from you and thank you in advance for trusting me with your beautiful creations!

Hello Samantha,

Since you didn't mention your genres or tastes, I figured I'd try my luck :)

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.

Hi Samantha!
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.

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! 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.

So it’s 1997 in this small town in Nova Scotia. A girl goes missing in the sea caves and comes back three days later. She's barely breathing, near death, and completely traumatized.
Now her friends are starting to see some messed up stuff.
And her boyfriend?
He’s hearing voices.
Specifically one that says: kill her friends, or she dies.

It’s got cursed legends, missing kids, ghost trains, and emotionally unstable boys, and one boy with a switchblade.
Aka, everything I love in a book.

If you're into IT x Goonies x Stand by Me x Stranger Things, you’re gonna be obsessed.

🖤 Tropes included:
• Haunted small town vibes.
• Found family but traumatized
• Childhood trauma, but make it supernatural.
• Morally gray, broken boys
• Girls who fight back.
• The “wait—did that really happen?” type of horror.

It’s just under 500 pages, and I’m sending out ARCs between Aug 15–30.
The book releases Oct 1.
If you're down to read early and leave an honest review, link’s below. 🖤
