Book Reviews
As I set up this site to be all about reading, writing, and books, I want to provide a place for authors to come and tell me about their work. If it is something I am interested in, I will be happy to read and review it on this blog and Goodreads (I’ve stopped posting on Amazon, sorry). For a look at my previous reviews, you may see them here. I’ve also added a new feature that includes whips instead of stars for ratings. Example below:
One whip = one star (I’ve only given this out one time. It means there is nothing redeeming to the story)
Two whips = two stars (Very little to recommend the novel and a difficult one to finish)
Three whips = three stars (Not a bad read, but could use some polishing to make it better)
Four whips = four stars (A really good read with just a couple of minor issues)
Five whips = five stars (Amazing! Something I’d possibly read again with little or no issues I could find)
*******************
The following is a list of genres I will accept at this time (my TBR pile has gotten rather lengthy so I’ve been forced to narrow the field):
Adult Novels
1) Urban Fantasy
-Must have a strong female lead for me to consider.
2) Contemporary Fantasy (with strong romantic elements)
3) Paranormal Romance (or at least light paranormal elements such as ghosts)
4) Any novel with vampires and at least some romance will be considered
-Also needs a strong female lead character
5) Dystopian/Post-apocalyptic novels (must have strong romantic elements)
-Must have a strong female lead for me to consider.
6) Sci-fi/futuristic romance
7) Time-travel romance
8) Historical romance (I’m very picky on this one, so no guarantees)
9) Erotica (must be M/F or Menage)
*Keep in mind that even if your novel falls under one of these genres, the premise may not interest me. I am not responding right away to requests, but will keep them under consideration as I move through my TBR list.
**If your novel is the first in a series, where you have a romance that will bloom slowly over the course of the books, I will waive the strong romantic elements, but you’re going to have to spoil that for me to consider it.
Genres I WILL NOT consider:
1) YA/MG/Childrens
2) Short story collections (several novellas combined together are okay, but they should be at least 10k words each)
3) Christian Romance
4) High Fantasy (I used to allow this but it is off the list for now– blame it on Game of Thrones for setting the bar too high)
5) Hard core Sci-fi
6) Action/Adventure/Suspense/Mystery that lacks strong romantic or paranormal elements.
-This includes military fiction (especially if the Navy or 101st Airborne Division is involved), corporate, spy-thriller, detective, police-procedural, etc
7) Non-fiction (I have exceptions to this rule with memoirs/biographies, but it’s too complicated to list them)
8) Erotica/Romance where the focus is on same sex couples. Experimenting is okay so long as it isn’t a permanent thing. I have no problem with side characters being homosexual.
9) Poetry
10) Picture books
Other Requirements (READ CAREFULLY):
1) Novel must be at least 40k words in length, but no more than 120k words.
2) Please do not send me a copy of your book unless I request it. I always read the sample first before making a decision on whether to read/review.
3) You do not need to have any other reviews for me to be willing to consider the novel. I fully support new authors and have found some great work that hasn’t gotten a single review yet. In fact, those can be some of my favorite finds. If you have over twenty reviews, though, I may pass in favor of those who need them more.
4) It should be understood that all my reviews are honest. If I get a couple of chapters into your book and realize it is not for me, I’ll email you and let you know (unless it is part of a tour, then I’ll contact the organizer instead). A review will not be posted in that case. If I do reach the end, but have mixed emotions, I’ll email you and let you know of the rating I would give (and why). You can choose whether or not to have the review posted, but please do not argue with me about my opinion. If it is part of a tour, though, I may post it at a later date. Remember, reading is subjective. It doesn’t mean your work isn’t good. It just means that it didn’t resonate with me for whatever reason.
5) I should not find any cases where the author has harassed critical reviewers. Yes, I will check comments on reviews of your work.
—————————-
If you meet and accept all the criteria above, please post the following details in a comment below:
1) Your name
2) Link to Amazon for the book
3) Genre*
4) Word count
5) Brief synopsis
6) Email where I can reach you (if you entered it in for the required info to comment on the blog that will be sufficient)
*Genres that I will give the highest consideration will be in paranormal romance and urban fantasy.
KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS LIST IS LONG. IT COULD TAKE MONTHS BEFORE I CAN READ AND REVIEW YOUR NOVEL. PLEASE BE PATIENT. I WILL DO MY BEST TO GET TO IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I MAY NOT RESPOND TO YOU RIGHT AWAY, BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN I’M NOT CONSIDERING YOUR NOVEL.

After all, the store consistently returns him home each night.
Then one day, Bern meets one of the many secrets the store’s been hiding in the storeroom. In a panic, he rushes outside for escape where the store traps him in an inhuman land inhabited by loons and narcoleptic fairies. To make matters worse, he’s stuck alongside his mentally unstable co-workers and no way to contact his wife to let her know he’ll likely be late for dinner. Even if Bern does make it home, there’s no guarantee that home will be quite the same as when he left it.

Andin Teller can change the world with a pencil and paint brush. Teller isn’t just his name.

When he discovers his mother is part of an otherworldly organized crime family in the middle of a secret war—and has been abducted by a rival family, Andin sets out to rescue her with his closest friends, Taryn, a mathematics and patterning genius, and down-to-earth, motorcycle-driving Itoshi. With their help, Andin navigates a world he doesn’t understand, taking on family betrayers, killers, and others like himself—others who have powers greater than his own.

Hi Susan! Thanks for doing this. What a great idea! I would love to have you review my e-novella (wordcount- 24k), Bad Spirits (Books 1-5). It’s action-packed suspense and a fast read. Here’s the blurb:
Kate Jones is on the run with a backpack full of money, intent on finding her way back to the United States from Mexico. Unfortunately, a ruthless drug lord named Salazar is just as intent on finding her, retrieving his stolen money, and making her pay for ever having left him. Is there anyone she can trust?
Originally published as five separate short stories chronicling Kate Jones’ race through Mexico, Bad Spirits Books 1-5 is a fast-paced, action-packed novella. Just when you think Kate’s escaped one impossible dilemma, she’s thrown into another perilous situation. Can she survive long enough to make it out alive?
If you’d like to review the book, I can either send you a PDF or a coupon for the Smashwords edition, if you prefer.

Good morning Susan, Gee it’s been awhile since we last spoke. Just touching base to see how things are progressing. I have a new book out. I noticed you do review vampire works.
Occupation
Historical/paranormal/fiction
100,000
Are you ready for vampires to regain their standing in the genre? Are you ready for them to stop “sparkling” and take on a worthy opponent? Then wait no longer. This book will satisfy even the most “bloody thirsty” appetites with an added twist; one of the clans is able to release a very nasty bacteria into their respective hosts which after ninety days or so unleashes a very ghoulish end to the recipients.
The Third Reich has Occupied Poland. The plan of “relocating” the population is well underway with one problem the Germans could have never imagined. They unknowingly are removing the food supply of the Romanov and Boirarsky vampire clans. Needless to say, they do not care for each other at all. Too much bad blood has been spilled over the past centuries. Will they be able to unite and take on the true enemy; the Third Reich, or will they perish as the food supply quickly diminishes?
Available in print or e-book. Let me know which you would like if interested.
Hey Jeff, I have so much going on at the moment that I’ve gotten rather behind on my TBR list. Thanks for stopping by and giving me the reminder. I’ll be sure to put it on my “read soon” list.
No problem. I’m currently working on four different books. I completely understand.

Massimo, I generally prefer strong female leads and romance for your genre so I can’t be sure if I can get into it, but when I have time I will try.

The House (Trix SinClara series) – the link seems to be different every time but there is a consistant one on my blog if that one doesn’t work.
Genre: Urban fantasy
Word count: 150,000 (I realise that this puts it over your word limit and understand if that means you will not consider the book)
Synopsis:
Shifters are going missing.
Trix has always been part of the very ordered and very rule orientated supernatural community. Secrecy is everything. But life is starting to come apart at the scenes, between growing magic and being attacked by vampyre, she can’t just take the world at face value anymore. Then shifters start to disappear without a trace and Trix is left in charge of the House, where wayward shifters go for comfort and control.
The witches won’t help and rules are changing. There is more at stake than any of them realise. The House may just become the centre of the biggest disaster the supernatural community has ever seen. It all seems to be up to them and Trix has more to deal with than she ever thought possible.
Emma, thanks for letting me know about your book. You are beyond my word count limit, but your synopsis is intriguing enough I might be willing to give it a chance anyway. I have a deep love of all things urban fantasy with strong female leads and yours appears to be exactly that! My TBR is long, but when I get a chance I’ll contact you for a review copy if that would work.
That sounds great, thank you. If you email me please also include instructions on formats and such to send for the book as I have basically no idea what I’m doing when it comes to technological stuff.
I’ll probably just ask you for a mobi copy that you can just attach to your email. No biggie 🙂

But between the police and the paranormal, the campus and the council, how’s a girl to rise to the challenge of just holding onto a normal life? Werewolves, vampires, and witches—and now a serial killer targeting the supernatural, setting his sights on Jasmine and her new-found friends. It’s a good thing she’s a werecat, because she’s not rolling over.

5) George and Lenore Marr are brutally murdered in Pittsburgh. Months later, several murders strike Baltimore County, Maryland. Undoubtedly, these seemingly unrelated killings would have become a cold case, and the killer free to pursue a deluded dream, if Detective Aubrey McKensie of the Maryland State Police had not been assigned to investigate the killings. This is no commonplace and tiresome detective story. This fabulously wealthy, dark haired Scot whose iron will was forged in the inferno of human tragedy has a reputation for solving unsolvable crimes, not only by depending on her intuitive talents, but by relying on her paranormal ability that has been invaluable in her police work, but a disaster to her social life. Susan Gardner is a clinical psychologist living in Delaware and Sherman Langston is a businessman with political aspirations of becoming president in Virginia. Both have lovely families and are respected in their fields. They have not seen each other since graduating high school and neither would have any reason to be suspicious of a stranger entering their lives through murder and deception. During Aubrey’s investigation, fate links her up with Detective Joshua Diamond from Pittsburgh whom she is highly attracted to. Struggling with her romantic feelings toward this sweet and interesting young man with a heartfelt secret of his own, her erratic behavior fluctuates between seductive and icy cold, which has Josh thinking that this charming and talented detective is a certifiable lunatic. While these two masterful detectives pursue an oddly behaving and elusive killer with a secret past and an equally secretive future an unexpected turn of events occurs—a grotesque and murderous scheme is launched that Aubrey and Josh are desperate to end before further innocent lives are destroyed.

Killing Fallen to save mankind is Cade’s redemption for murder and only one human—mouthwatering and absolutely forbidden—stands in his way.
Cade committed himself to saving lives before he learned the full consequences of his life-altering decision. It wasn’t until he was tending his sick wife that he learned the enormity of what he’d done and he was unable to save her from the monster he had become. Consumed with guilt and praying for absolution, he threw himself into killing every Fallen he could find to save the humans he’d sworn to protect. But then Emma, deliciously mortal and completely forbidden, swept into his world, stirring an overpowering desire. Now he’s not only fighting soulless creatures, but also his inner cravings, trying to maintain his distance and continue on his path to forgiveness. He won’t lose control again and lose another love.
I look forward to hearing from you. In the meantime, happy reading!

Hi! My name is Elizabeth Corrigan, and I was wondering whether you would consider reviewing my urban fantasy novel Oracle of Philadelphia, published by Red Adept publishing. The story does have a strong female lead, though I confess this is one of those first books in a series where the romance is slow-developing. The novel is 68,000 words.
Synopsis: Carrie works at a diner in South Philadelphia, dispensing advice to humans and angels wise enough to seek her counsel. But there are some problems that even the best advice can’t solve.
Her latest supplicant, Sebastian, is unique among those who have sought her aid. He sold his soul to a demon in exchange for his sister’s life, but his heart remains pure.
Carrie has lived for millennia with the knowledge that her immortality is due to the suffering of others, and she cannot bear to see another good man damned when it is within her power to prevent it.
In order to renegotiate his contract, Carrie must travel into the depths of Hell and parley with the demons that control its pathways. As the cost of her journey rises, Carrie must determine how much she is willing to sacrifice to save one good soul.

5. When the author was born, his mother did the unthinkable. She gave him a girl’s name—Stacey. But Stacey’s name was just the first hurdle he’d face in his uphill climb from birth to manhood. He also had to deal with an entitled older brother, the hodgepodge of different men his mother was involved with, and the nomadic lifestyle he was forced to endure for five years. And to top it all off, his mother couldn’t cook a decent meal to save her life. Trailer Trash, With a Girl’s Name is Stacey Roberts’ lighthearted, often hilarious account of growing up in an unstable household during the 1980s. Full of humor, history, and hope, it follows Stacey from the hospital room where he was born to the Winnebago that carried him across the country, filling in the gaps with a wit and humor that anyone with a dysfunctional family can appreciate. So go ahead and start reading. Once you hop aboard the Winnebago with Stacey and his quirky family, you’ll find that you’re in for the ride or your life, where what you learn along the way is not only entertaining, but also enormously enriching.
