Looking for a Beta Reader for a Novel I’m Revising

Hi everyone! I’m currently revising a novel I wrote a few years ago, and I’m looking for a beta reader who’d be interested in giving me honest feedback. The story blends several genres: Science Fiction, Mystery, Adventure, Romance, and Coming‑of‑Age, with emotional, character‑driven moments and a strong focus on relationships.

Short Pitch:
An orphaned farm worker struggles to build an ordinary life while impossible abilities and a forgotten past begin to haunt him. When a conspiracy forces him to confront the truth about himself, he discovers he was never an ordinary human.

There’s no publication date or anything planned yet—I’m still figuring out what I want to do with the book—but I’d really appreciate having someone read it while I continue editing.

If anyone is interested in checking it out and sharing their thoughts, please let me know. I’d be truly grateful for the help!
