Book Review Policy & Disclosure Statement

Last Updated: April 30, 2012

CURRENTLY OPEN TO
UNSOLICITED REVIEW REQUESTS

I review books for fun.  Every book review is my personal opinion, and is not swayed whether I paid for the book or if it was given to me by an author or publisher. If you are going to pitch a fit about my honest opinion, please do not request a review from me.

Unless expressly stated otherwise in the blog post, all books are purchased by me with money out of my own pocket.

To authors, publishers, and publicists: If you would like me to review or blurb a book or series, please use the website contact page to get in touch.

Side note to self-published authors: I don’t automatically say no to reviewing your books, but I do request that you please include the first five pages of your book (in addition to a description of what it is about). This gives me an opportunity to see if your story and writing works for me.

Genres I Read: 

  • High Fantasy
  • Urban Fantasy
  • Romance (Paranormal, Historical, Highlander)
  • Dark Fantasy
  • Steampunk
  • Horror
  • Paranormal Chick-lit
  • Some Science Fiction

Genres I Do Not Normally Read: 

  • Erotica
  • Poetry
  • Biographies
  • Non-fiction
  • Self-help
  • Thrillers/Suspense
  • Mysteries
Acceptable Book Formats
  • Print
  • ARCs: both printed and digital galleys
  • Ebooks (.pdf or .mobi)

Book Series
If you want me to read/review a book that is part of a series I have never read, copies of the earlier books may be requested (and individually reviewed).

Review Time Frame
Whenever I get around to it.

Unsolicited books may or may not be reviewed; it all depends on my availability.

Review Format and Linkage
See here for examples. In addition to being posted on the blog, they will be added to my Goodreads account.

Blog Tours, Author Interviews, Giveaways & Guest Posting 
All are welcome here, so long as there are paranormal elements. I’m always happy to host a fellow author, but please check with me as far in advance as possible so I can ensure your post goes up in a timely manner and doesn’t conflict with my schedule.
