Hi all. I'm looking for a few more reviewers for my sapphic spy erotic thriller. If you enjoy romance with a touch of smut and tension. I think you'll enjoy it.

Blurb: Agent Lydia Mercer has spent ten years using seduction as a weapon. She's never been the one who got played.

Sent into Venice alone, with no backup, she has one job: seduce the ADH's deadliest operative and walk away with a set of classified documents. It should be routine. Lydia has done this a hundred times.

Nothing about this woman is routine.

Before the night is over, Lydia is handcuffed, disarmed, and at the mercy of an agent who somehow knows secrets that were never in her file. She gets what she came for. She doesn't get out with her certainty, her control, or her heart intact.

And Venice isn't done with her yet. 

Triggers: explicit sapphic sex scenes including BDSM elements (restraints, impact play, power exchange), violence/captivity, strong language, and betrayal.

Hello everyone, I'm currently looking for ARC readers for my upcoming horror novel, Where Fear Smiles! Details below:

Would you forgive your best friend if she was responsible for ruining your life?

A whispered rumour draws a group of students into the dense forests of coastal Brazil: a lost Indigenous artifact, hidden for centuries and promising academic glory.

While Leah’s colleagues are determined to claim it, she only agrees to the trek because she can’t bear the thought of being left behind, and forces her best friend Charlotte to go with her for support against her dark thoughts.

What was meant to be an escape from the weight of the academic semester, quickly it turns into a test of endurance. The deeper they push into the forest, the darker Leah begins to dream. When they finally uncover what they came for, the discovery reveals something far more terrifying than any of them imagined.

A demon born of nightmares is unleashed, and with it, carnage.

Now the survivors must find a way to drive the nightmare back to its realm before society is doomed to never dream again. But as the forest closes in, the greatest horror isn't the ancient evil — it's watching a lifelong trust begin to rot.

Title: Oakhaven: the silent inheritance by Robert King (2026)

Anyone interested in becoming an ARC reader? I’m looking for 10 people to review this book and give an honest review. Please follow the link below if you’re interested. Thank you.

A clockmaker wakes to a town that has stopped breathing. In Oakhaven, time freezes, people turn into perfect waxen replicas, and a sentient Silver Fog begins replacing the living with hollow imitations. Julian Vane—armed only with his tools, a failing experimental chronometer, and the stubborn rhythm of his own heartbeat—must uncover the valley’s buried secret: an ancient “Anchor” built by his ancestor to cage an alien intelligence that hungers for silence. As the replicas close in and the fog spreads from town to town, Julian races to restart the world’s ticking clock before humanity is archived forever.
This blurb draws directly from the novel’s core elements, including the frozen townspeople described as “a bronze statue forgotten in the middle of the sidewalk” and the revelation that “Oakhaven hadn’t been attacked; it had been harvested.”

Blurb:

Dr. Kyah Starling built her life around saving animals. Her emergency veterinary clinic is spotless, controlled, and entirely her own.

Then a stranger arrives at two in the morning carrying an injured pit bull and wearing blood, rain, and black leather like a warning.

Xoren is dangerous. He runs the Iron Veil Motorworks club and leaves flowers, anonymous donations, and evidence that he's been watching Kyah's life for far longer than she realized.

Kyah should be terrified of him. Instead, she can't stop being drawn to him.

When a rival gang running a dogfighting operation closes in on the clinic, Kyah is pulled into Xoren's world of motorcycles, secrets, loyalty, and violence. Wanting him doesn't make him safe, and she must decide whether Xoren is the danger she needs to escape or something she's been too afraid to choose.

Now he must decide whether to let years of insecurity control his future or take a risk on a forbidden attraction that could change everything.
