Hi Marie, just giving you a heads up that some of the posters here are questionable beta readers https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
I’d like a few beta readers for "The Houdini Trait," my upcoming rom-com novel,
It's currently at the completed umpteenth draft stage as I’ve been writing it for more years than many of you have likely been alive. I’m hoping to get some honest, constructive feedback before I move on to the ABSOLUTE final edits … if the universe wills it.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Genre: Romantic Comedy Length: 82,000
Tone/Themes: Trigger Warnings (if any): strong language, trauma
BLURB ):
Is déjà voodoo a thing?
Because one tiny letter threatening to shutter City Sandbox just hexed me back in time. I know who’s trying to sabotage my daycare center—Nicholas Barrett. And why—payback. But no matter what that vulturous, mega millionaire property developer throws my way, what I have to do, or how stupid hot he is, I am not taking this lying down. Unless …
NO. Lord no.
Is this a recurrent nightmare?
Ivy Hart’s back, needing my help. Again. I didn’t orchestrate the situation, but after what she did, I’m damn sure gonna milk it. Four years ago, her tantalizing beauty and ferocious community spirit mesmerized me. This time, not so much. Besides, I have my own needs. One, to solve my family mystery. Two, to uncover her secret. So, Ivy Hart only gets what she wants if she gives me what I want. And I want …
NO. Hell no.
I'M LOOKING FOR:
Feedback on things like:
Pacing and flow
Character development
Plot holes or confusion
Dialogue and authenticity
Any emotional reactions or standout moments
In short, a reader who’s willing to tell me what worked and what didn’t for them.
TIMELINE:
I’d ideally like feedback within 3-4 weeks of receipt. But I’m flexible if you need more time.
HOW YOU'LL RECEIVE THE BOOK:
I can send the manuscript as a PDF/Word/EPUB/OTHER. Let me know your preferred format.
INTERESTED?
If so, feel free to comment below or DM me. I'd be incredibly grateful for your time and thoughts. I'm also happy to return the favor and beta read something of yours.
Thanks so much for considering 💛
