Book Reviews

I will review your book for free and place the review on Goodreads, Amazon and this blog.

My favourite genres are mystery, drama and thrillers.  I am too much of a scaredy pants to read horror.  I will not review non-fiction, horror, vampire or werewolf stories.

Please leave a comment with the genre of your novel and I will get back to you and let you know if I will review it.  Warning! I will give you an honest review, I am however a believer in constructive criticism.  I am not worried about grammar but I love a good story.

  4. Hello Vivian!

    Greetings from James in Colorado! I'm about to publish a multi-thread adventure/thriller that centers on two female protagonists: one the reincarnated "Cassandra" from the Fall of Troy (the sibyl who was cursed to tell the truth but never be believed) and the other a reporter struggling to save her career and find her 'self' despite the childhood programming of an older sister. The tale weaves elements of sci-fi, paranormal, humor and romance but at its root is an adventure.

    If you'd like to better understand its plot and characters, my website is www.TheSibylReborn.com. If you're interested, let me know, and I'll gladly send you a pre-release ARC in epub or mobi.

    Have a great day!
    James

After suffering a serious accident Alan began to have disturbing dreams that predict a sickness that wipes out much of the world’s population. He tried to push the dreams to the back of his mind. By chance he met an elderly physic called Ena who also has similar dreams and saw them as a prophecy and introduced Alan to others who shared her belief. The prophecy proved to be true and Alan Callaway found himself involved with a community of survivors who believed that reason and a sense of morality are all that was needed to bring order back to the world. They were not prepared to listen to Alan’s warnings that they needed to learn to defend themselves and that the world outside their small community no longer has any rules, laws or moral code. In the meantime, Alan found a small section of the community who shared his views and looked to him as their leader. When he is proved right and a violent gang started to take over London and enslave all those they came across, Alan had to choose sides and found he could not just stand back and watch as the world tumbled into chaos.

    Greetings!!!

    ‘Notorious Mind- Just Engaged’, is a contemporary fiction novel by Rahul Rampal that I hope you will consider for your valuable review.

    I would like to bring under your kind notice that the eBook is now available for FREE download on Amazon.

    Genre- Contemporary Fiction and Fiction General

    Target Group- Adults (No Young Adults)

    Why Notorious Mind- Just Engaged?

    There are many subjects and topics that are repeatedly debated and discussed over the years, but there is a subject called story innovation which stands out from the rest.

    It's not about the writing style, but about the different forms of life we as a human expect for ourselves.

    It's not only the happiness associated with your dream that keeps you alive and running, but various social evils and taboos interwoven so intricately that you start doubting your existence.

    Therefore, it's aptly said that, sometimes a single change can change your entire life.

    Book Description-

    ‘Notorious Mind - Just Engaged’ is a story of three friends, Ranbir, Christina and Tanya. Ranbir, the notorious one, realizes that his lust has transformed into an endless love for Christina, a vivacious beauty.

    Tanya, who loves Ranbir, turns to be the odd one out amongst the three.

    What looks like a love triangle, isn’t one! Christina’s unusual behavior, soon unleashes a taboo concealed within; which shatters not only her life, but also of everyone in her galaxy.

    A physical change in Christina’s identity leaves Ranbir with no other option, but to wait for another life, where he can feel the warmth of her true love once again in her true existence.

    With Ranbir’s passion for silver screen and his commitments towards the life, his dreams seem to rest in heaven, while reality becomes a living hell.

    Soon, god sends an angel to his rescue and life thereon begins on an entirely different note. However, fate had a rendezvous waiting for Ranbir in store, as a celebrity living in solitude with scandalous past, has some invisible threads, which connects with his future.

  14. Hi Vivian, coming to you via Booktweeting.

    I have 6 e-published books, most of which have 5* ratings, but could do with some more!

    Two are part of a series of cosy crime set in the New Forest, one is set in 1958 (murder with rock'n'roll), one crime novel set in Florida and one romance set in Florida. My latest is set in West Sussex and has some police procedural.

    Would you have time to read one of them? If so, which would take your fancy?

    Looking forward to hearing from you.

  16. Hi Vivian,

    If you're accepting mystery fiction for reviews, I'd like to introduce you to the first in the Waterside Kennels mystery series. Deadly Ties is a tale of family, friendship, and betrayal in a mountain community where ties run deep and grudges can linger for a lifetime. Here's an overview:

    When Maggie Porter reopens the family dog kennel business in the Ozarks, she’s greeted by anonymous threats and break-ins. Serious trouble arises when a gossip-loving employee turns up dead holding an heirloom locket belonging to Maggie’s mother. As the violence escalates, Maggie becomes a target as she searches for answers. Everyone has something to hide, and some secrets are worth killing for.

    You can reach me at dogmysteries@gmail.com.

  17. Hello Vivian,

    My name is James Travis. I'm a scifi author. I have two books that I would like you to review. Both are the starts of two different series. The first I would like you to review is Potential of the Immortals saga. A high school student goes on a galactic quest to hunt down the terrorists responsible for killing his father.
    The other is The Shattering. It is a novel about how a government goes rogue and secedes from the Earth-Colonial Alliance as part of a vast conspiracy as the rebel government now faces rebels of their own. You can find these books on the kindle at Amazon.com in the kindle store. You can reach me at jfsivart@yahoo.com or jfsivart@gmail.com

  18. Hi Vivian,
    I'm with a small Indie publisher helping with my promo for my first book release on May 1. It's the first in a romance/humor/drama series. The heroin is in the travel business and by way of some misfortune also ends up in the spy business. Lots of travel destinations, kooky characters and chuckles. I have it in galley form if you might have a change to read before May 1. After is fine too. My email is mandycoltonfiction@gmail.com

  20. Greetings!
    I was wondering if you would be interested in reading and reviewing my new release. Too Wyrd is a full-length, urban fantasy, which was released Sept 8th, 2016, through Black Rose Writing.

    Summary:
    Nicola was never a hero. She was an everyday single mother, Heathen witch, and herbalist. And she was happy with her quiet life until the night Joseph showed up at her door with news that her step-sister joined a cult… and disappeared.

    Pressured by family loyalties, Nicola goes back to Indianapolis, dodging old enemies and calling on old friends to help her. What she finds instead are an ex with super-powers, monsters and demigods on the streets, and a detective ready to bring her in for a murder investigation or three.

    Can Nicola become the hero she needs to be, or will she lose everyone she cares for?
