ARC Reader

[Bailey]

Hello! I love reading and reviewing ARC books if anyone is interested!

[Chelsea]

What genre!☺️

[Bailey]

So far I have done varying genres. There are some that I am not super into like self-help and religious works, but it depends on the description!

Genre: Literary Fiction/Literary Suspense

Amazon Description (ARC Version)

It didn’t start with control.
It started with being chosen.

Vivian is intelligent, independent, and fully capable of walking away.
Which is exactly why she doesn’t.

A chance encounter aboard a luxury cruise opens doors she never asked for—but never refuses. Private access. Unspoken rules. The kind of attention that feels flattering instead of dangerous. Each choice is hers. Each step voluntary. And that’s what makes it work.

Because no one ever tells Vivian what to do.
They simply make it easier not to leave.

As the line between generosity and leverage disappears, Vivian must confront a terrifying realization: nothing has been taken from her—she has given it away herself.

DECADENCE is a sharp, seductive work of literary suspense about power that doesn’t need force, relationships that don’t look like traps, and the quiet thrill of surrendering control before you realize what it costs.

If you enjoy tension that creeps instead of explodes—and stories that make you complicit—this one will stay with you.

--

Got to be honest—the description sounds a bit boring. I'll have to work on that.

Ping me if you're interested. I can send a PDF version. The manuscript is in decent shape, maybe six months out from release. It's solid, but I'm doing final passes and character tweaks.

Cheers, Mike.

Hi Bailey,

I’ve recently self-published my first novel, Gildermog Hall.

Genre: Gentle mystery
Setting: 1990s UK
Vibe: Character-led, coming-of-age, quietly atmospheric

If that sounds like something you might enjoy, I’d be very happy to offer you a free copy (ebook/PDF worldwide, paperback UK only). There’s absolutely no pressure - just looking for honest early reader feedback.

I’ll pop the Amazon link below so you can read the blurb and sample first. If it feels like a fit, please feel free to DM me.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0G3LTW43R

Best wishes,
LJ Lacey

When would you need the review by? I want to make sure I have time to finish it!

[LJ]

Hi Bailey,

There'd be no time pressure / deadline at all (in fact, no need to leave a review at all if you found you just weren't feeling it!).

Best wishes,
LJ

Hi Everyone !

My name is Leigh Belrose.
I’m looking for enthusiastic book reviewers to read and review my upcoming middle grade children’s book Escape from Meanderville Gardens. To be released in early February 2026.

Here’s a quick overview:
Escape from Meanderville Gardens is a humorous adventure story about a girl named Ryder, who is late for school. She boards a magical tram that whisks her to the enchanting Meanderville Gardens. There she must navigate a puzzling hedge maze, quirky playground, as well as bizarre botanical realms, using her courage and wit to escape before she’s trapped forever.

If you are interested, please contact me at wildstallionpub@outlook.com
and I'd be happy to send an ARC PDF copy of the book.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to your response.

Hi Bailey! Since you're open to varying genres and care about deadlines, I have a 'quick win' for you! ✨

My debut book, 'One of a Kind Creatures', is a 5-minute illustrated fantasy story about a vegetarian lion and his misfit squad. Because it's so short, there's absolutely no pressure on the timeline—it's a perfect 'palate cleanser' between your longer reads! 🦁🥗

It’s available on Kindle Unlimited (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GDZ1PWKK), but I can also send you a PDF if you’d like to take a quick look. Would love to have your honest thoughts! 🦁✨

Becky Mathisen Hello, I am new to having somebody review my work. I have a few books out, but would love an honest review. Most are out on Kindle Unlimited, except for my latest one. I have very few reviews, so I would love to have more readers and honest feedback. Happy to send over PDF's of any of my books that are out there.

[Arya]

I love like every genre so, If you want, I’m available to be an ARC Reader <3

Hi Arya! Love your energy! ✨ Since you're open to all genres, I’d love to have you check out the 'One of a Kind Creatures' I mentioned above.

It’s such a quick read (5 mins) that it won't take any time away from your other ARCs, but it’s packed with color and heart. 🦁🦒

Let me know if you’d like me to send you a PDF, or you can grab it on KU! Would be great to have your perspective! 🦁✨

I am open to PDF files! Just let me know when you would like the reviews, because I don't want to commit to something I can't do!

That's great, Bailey! I'd be happy to send you the PDF. ✨

To keep our information private, I'll send you a Friend Request right now so we can message each other directly, or you can DM me your email address.

Looking forward to sharing the story with you! 🦁✨

Oh, I didn't realize they changed the settings! My apologies, Bailey. ✨

In that case, I can temporarily post my email here for you to grab and when you send me an email, I will delete it.

I don't have a deadline, just happy to have more people read my work and review it. Since it looks like DM isn't available, you can reach out to me at author@beckymathisen.com and I will respond with the PDF.
