ARC Reviews

Most of the books I get to ARC read are from Netgalley, some I get from Authors that have seen my reviews and wonder if I would like to read and review their book to. Netgalley has a very wide array of books, almost every genre is available. When you see something, you would really love to read and review you put in a request. If the publisher or author think you’re good enough, they will accept your request and get started. Netgalley really is all digital which I don’t mind but I would go absolutely nuts if I get to ARC read physical copies to.

To everyone who has let me read their Advanced copy; a huge thank you!

ARC Review

How bad things can get – Darcy Coates

This story was deeply disturbing but I loved it; Darcy Coates really is one of the best thriller / horror writers out there and I was able to ARC read her latest book. A secluded island, more than 700 people that are supposed to have the time of there lives, but it all ends in a nightmare.

Ella and the Maze – Selmon Beha

The story has been released on the 25^th of April 2025. The category it’s labeled in seems wrong. It would be more for kids between the ages of 11 and 14 years old. Beyond that age I wouldn’t recommend.

AOV Lessons in Love – Ever King

This book is set to be released on the 24^th of June 2025. The first book ‘Academy of Villains’ is available on Amazon; I highly recommend picking up this book. Both have the Greek mythology down and the storytelling is very good.

Chasing Shadows – Robert Bryndza

This book is set to be released on the 5^th of June 2025. You guys, Erika is back! This time we will finally know what happened to her husband 10 years ago and how that case, that’s still unsolved intertwines with this one.

The last Resort – Clémence Michallon

This book is set to be released on the 7^th of August 2025. It’s set in a luxurious hotel and the grounds around it and is a true murder mystery novel. It wasn’t my favorite but it wasn’t the worst either.

Twisted Bones – Helen Phifer

This book has been released on the 21^st of May 2025. If you love a good crime novel and like a good story where colleagues actually have a good relationship with each other, where even in sad times there can be humor… You definitely have to give the Morgan Brookes series a try.

How to survive a horror story – Mallory Arnold

This book is set to be released on the 8^th of July 2025 and is a must read if you like psychological thrillers. The escape room-esc setting is so thought out, I haven’t read anything like this yet so it really was kind of refreshing.

Run Ruth Run – Elizabeth Kaufman

This book has been released on the 29^th of April and is a general fiction kind of book. After doing some fraudulent stuff Ruth has to make a run for it. But they don’t want her for her fraudulent activities. They want her for her Microchip.

Guess Again – Charlie Donlea

This book is set to be released on the 29^th of July and you better read it because what a story this has been. A DCI agent turned ER Doctor but has been called back to do one more case. Find out what happened to the governor’s daughter.

By the time you read this – Brianna Labuskes

This book has been released on the 27^th of May. When Raisa gets a letter in the mail in the middle of the night with the message ‘by the time you read this, I’ll be dead’. She gets a feeling. That feeling is confirmed mere hours later. It’s been ruled as natural causes but Raisa doesn’t believe it.

Arcana Academy – Elise Kova

This book is set to be released on the 5^th of August. This book could well be the next Harry Potter as it’s packed with magic, only a different kind. It’s detailed, it’s thrilling and filled to the brim with fantasy. I think this one is paving the way for an even better second book.

The Queen’s Card – Erin Archer

To Hell With It – Claire Frances

This book has been released on the 19^th of June and just has to be read. The amount of humor in this book is insane. I actually laughed while reading and that’s not something that happens often, normally a snort is all something gets.
