Blurb:

Norman has a bright future ahead. Already well known as an unparalleled academic genius of his generation - he is the best among the best. While he may be the rising star of the famed Illustrious Academy, in the brutally competitive Irvanian socio-political landscape, opportunist vultures lurk at every corner and no tactic is too low.

The biggest obstacle in the way of his grand ambitions though, is an ancient megalomaniac alien parasite from a long forgotten civilization that has made his body its nest. Oh, and there is also the problem of a high profile murder investigation that is likely to destroy his career.

Will Norman be able to reassert control on his life? Or will he succumb in his pursuit of the forgotten arts of soul harvesting and become something else... Find out in this grimdark cyberpunk progression fantasy.

Blurb:
R-0’s existence has always been dedicated to one simple directive: protect the king. Like all the constructs, they complete their orders without thought or feeling. But when a magical phenomena sweeps over Haiden, the constructs transform from mindless metal to fully sentient beings.
Now R-0 sees the world through new eyes. Beauty, curiosity, and endless questions that used to be out of reach now overwhelm them. Despite their potential, not everyone views the change favorably. The organics they used to serve fear what the constructs have become and what they may be plotting. When constructs begin disappearing, Haiden’s council sees it as proof of the constructs’ nefarious intentions and threatens to decommission them all.
While navigating their newfound thoughts and feelings, R-0 must solve the mystery of the missing constructs–even if the truth may put the king they’ve sworn to protect in danger. Because if they fail, the constructs’ lives could be over as quickly as they began.

Triggers: Language on par with a PG-13 rating, on-page character death, action/violence/fighting typical of the genre

Book Title:

Abandoned by the Gods

Author:

Ronit J

Blurb:

Welcome to Adeva...

A land abandoned by the Gods themselves. The mortals that were left behind built a rich thousand-year history full of legendary exploits.
But history doesn’t remember everyone. Written by the victors, written for them, history has a bad habit of neglecting many.
This collection features four tales of those hapless souls that history forgot. A girl sold into divine servitude who would threaten to change the face of Adeva's history, a noble forced into dacoity fuelled by vengeance, a princess in forbidden love compelled to make an impossible choice, and an ordinary woman fighting to survive through a mad god-king's reign, this collection is an attempt to honour their humanity, to celebrate those who dared to defy norms, dared to thrive despite fate being against them.
Welcome to Adeva. Your faith will not protect you.
———————————————————————————————————————

The stories:

• Servant of God: Sold into bonded slavery to a temple, Jagadasi discovers that not everything is as pure as she had believed. She turns to her God for a way to cleanse the temple, but the solution she receives is bloody, with the potential to change the face of Adeva’s history.
• The Princess Who Loved Her Maid: Princess Ilava is deeply in love with her maid, Raci. When her father arranges her marriage with Emperor Mahamara, Ilava is forced to choose between losing Raci, or antagonising an avatar of God.
• Dacoit, Son of a Noble: Bhola’s rich life is uprooted when King Ananda’s conquering forces usurp his domain and kill his father. Forced into a life of dacoity, Bhola’s life is fueled with a singular motive: Kill King Ananda before he ascends to godhood.
• Bittersweet Chutney: An account of an ordinary woman’s life set against the backdrop of one of Adeva’s most significant historical events—the killing of a mad god-king.

Zakolor thinks he’s the son of the village blacksmith, but when his nightmares start coming to life, he learns the harrowing truth—he is actually the heir to one of the most powerful magical bloodlines in Valecium—one that defeated the gods themselves. With his power now unleashed, two sides locked in a century-long war vie to control him.

When the Consortium accidentally kidnaps his best friend Kalbick, Zakolor is forced to join their sworn enemy—the League of Kingdoms—as his only hope of saving him.

But something dark is buried in his magic, and if Zakolor wants to save his abducted friend, he must untangle the mystery of his power before it consumes him.

Calling for ARC reviewers! Curious readers who want to read something new are very welcome!

BLURB:

General Gion, fierce, smart, and above all, loyal, dedicates his life serving the White Flower Kingdom. But upon his return as the sole survivor from a fatal, almost impossible mission, Gion discovers his loved ones have been massacred by the person he vowed to serve, the King himself.

This unfounded betrayal drives General Gion to seek revenge and commit regicide. However, without the King, the White Qi, the essence that protects the kingdom from the demons, needs a new heir. Through the royal bloodline, it transfers to Princess Rohwa, who was also, unexpectedly, General Gion's paramour.

A deadly confrontation with Princess Rohwa seemingly ends Gion's life. Yet, a century later, he awakens to find the White Flower Kingdom in ruins and the White Qi in his possession.

TRIGGER WARNING: This story contains scenes of war, violence, and mild forms of self-harm.

Hey ARC readers! I’ve got several more spots available for my Romantasy debut on Booksirens and would love a few more reviews as we get closer to release date (July 9). It’s a standalone featuring high and low fantasy elements, gradual relationship progression, and a sheltered heroine who finds herself along the way.

Blurb: Avery is a Golden Child with the ability to heal any illness or injury. She lives a sheltered life, dutifully healing hopefuls from around the globe. Although she dreams of freedom, she fears disrupting the status quo—that is, until her powers go on the fritz, threatening her health and her relationship with her government caretakers.

In search of answers, Avery travels through The Rift to the realm of the fae, intimidatingly beautiful beings with powers humans don’t understand. Their prince, Riel, has motivations of his own when he agrees to teach her about her rare magic. But as they work together, the two are drawn to each other.

Just as Avery manages to unlock the full potential of her powers, a betrayal shakes Riel’s House, putting pressure on the already tenuous relationship between humans and the fae. Caught in the middle, Avery and Riel will have to decide what matters most to them: loyalty to their respective nations, or their feelings for one another

Triggers: The Treasured One is more on the cozy side overall, but does include some profanity, depictions of anxiety and PTSD, mention of kidnapping and flashbacks to the incident, explicit sex, needles/body piercing, violence and blood, war/fighting, murder/death, alcohol nationalism/racial discrimination

Let me know if you have any questions. The support is SO appreciated 🥰 Here’s the link (ending is actually an HFN): https://booksirens.com/book/PP5HIGT

In the not-too-distant future, humanity has begun its colonisation of the galaxy, but crime still remains. And on Alpha Colony, the premier human settlement on the Moon, that is no different.

Thank you for your consideration!

I am looking for reviews on my story set in 1987. I call it a romance novel because of the interaction between Jimmy and the two Quebecois women he meets. But it is focused on classic rock references that head every chapter and are liberally littered throughout the text. An important point is that all proceeds on the sale of this novel will be donated to a local children's hospital.

A complete playlist exists of every song mentioned in the story.

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0lWkhRSYcZTyGCeM2PANFp

​

Blurb

With no roots or place to call home, a street musician arrives In Montreal, his guitar strung with melodies of a nomadic lifestyle. Jimmy, his past shadowing his every step, finds comfort in perpetual motion, yet beneath his restless exterior lies a yearning for something more.

Julie and Marie-Christine, magnetic figures drawn into Jimmy's world, add their voices to his wandering setlist. Can he untangle the knots in his heart, confront the ghosts that haunt him, and find lasting inner peace?

In "Songs in the Key of Jim E," music flows through the narrative, weaving its way into the fabric of love and longing. Transport yourself to a simpler time when turntables, vinyl, and classic rock dominated the airwaves.

Follow the fictional story of Jimmy, Julie, and Marie Christine, on their magical mystery tour through the high points of Montreal, through the annals of rock history as they break down the barriers of the cultural divide in one of North America’s most cosmopolitan cities.

I'm reaching out because I'm in the final stages of completing my upcoming book, Shadows Of Freedom, and I'm looking for enthusiastic readers to join my Advance Reader Team.

If you're interested in being one of the first to read and provide feedback on [Book Title], please let me know, and I'll add you to the ARC team. I'd be thrilled to have you on board!

Can a villain ever truly find redemption?

Viktor Veles is a somewhat reformed villain. The man who once pulled his strings is no more, and for the first time in his life, Viktor knows true happiness. He's in a loving relationship with the heroes who saved his life, Ayla and Rowan, and he's making strides toward undoing the damage he and his villainous father caused to the city of Lightvale for so many years.

But he can’t escape the misdeeds of his past.

When a mysterious light-wielder arrives in the city with a vendetta, Viktor is forced to become the Wraith once more. However, rooting out the light-wielder’s identity uncovers secrets from his past that shake him to the core. With new friends on the horizon and enemies waiting in the wings, Viktor will need all the help he can get to uncover the light-wielder’s identity and keep his newfound family safe from the ghosts of his past.

Title: For F**k's Sake, Ask Your Dad

Author: Katiedid Langrock

Illustrator: Michaela Clisson

Summary:

For F**k's Sake, Ask Your Dad is an irreverent, loving, and refreshingly honest picture book for adults that dives into the chaotic but rewarding world of motherhood.

If you enjoyed Go The F**k to Sleep and There Are Moms Way Worse Than You, you are going to love For F**k's Sake, Ask Your Dad.

Penned with a humor as relentless as your child's energy, this book serves as a reminder that though moms gladly exchange personal freedom (and the ability to poop in peace) for the gift of parenthood, Dad is also available to tackle the endless queries and the minor meltdowns.

As a workaholic, I always figured I'd die at work. Although, I'd assumed it'd be in a stress-induced heart attack sort of way, and not because the building collapsed with me inside it.

Luckily, the superhero, the Garnet Defender, saved me. Clutched in his muscular arms, he whisked me away to his penthouse where we shared a magical night in celebration of being alive.

It was perfect.

He was perfect.

Or maybe not.

Something just doesn't add up. How did the Garnet Defender know I'd be at work in the middle of the night? Why did the building collapse when it was supposed to be empty?

There's a conspiracy here and I intend to uncover it. Even if it means breaking my own heart to do so.

Tropes:

Golden Retriever MMC 🐕 Bad ass FMC 😎 Stickin' it to the man 👆 He falls first and harder 🧡 Spice 🥵

Triggers:

Described sexual content, swearing, collapsing building, FMC sustains an injury (doesn't last)

Timeline:

Several spots available now on BookSirens. Please try to review within 30 days of receiving the book.

Additional info:

Defended by Love is an interconnected standalone in a series (Haunted by Love, Bewitched by Love, and Abducted by Love have already been published). You do not need to read the other books.

For you:

This book is for you if you like campy romances that don't take themselves too seriously, but still have a lot of heart. They're equal parts spicy and strange. If this is for you, please sign up using this link: https://booksirens.com/book/KXO9OGB/JZN41PN

Hey everyone! I'm looking to get more into the writing community, and maybe find people to share my work with. Right now I'm publishing a work chapter by chapter on wattpad.

The truth is I have never let anyone read my fiction, and many people in my personal life I have reached out to haven't been interested. Like a lot of gay people, I don't have a family. I don't have any friends, either, at this point as a lot of them were connected to my family and my past. I'm trying so hard to get to my dream of publishing a book and making writing my job. But I have nobody. I have no community. I don't have money. I feel like I'm a decent writer with decent ideas, and I just want a chance. I don't feel like I have many chances at all.

Here's the summary of my story on wattpad, and a link to read it. If anyone has any suggestions for chapter by chapter publishing, or ways I could be going about this better, I would really appreciate it. I'm not really looking for an in depth critique right now, as I'm still working and reworking things, but I would appreciate any advice about getting more involved in the modern writing game because I have no idea what I'm doing.

"The Sunken Cathedral"

Grimshader, a small town in the lochlands of Scotland, becomes a site of horror as a supernatural presence begins to overtake St. Mary's, a cathedral built on the outskirts of town. St. Mary's is doomed from the start, an unwanted presence that's sinking further into the boglands by the year. While St. Mary's body is being swallowed by the earth, two young nuns, a doctor, and his roommate do their very best in attempt to save its soul- but does the heart of St. Mary's Cathedral truly deserve saving? Something dark lurks in the bowels, and it has awoken.

This story is a work in progress, and may be subject to rewrites.

Trigger Warnings:

If you are reading this story and encounter a trigger you consider common that has not been listed, I absolutely urge you to contact me. I want people who read my work to know exactly what triggers they will encounter if possible. That said, this is a work of horror.

I have been on the verge of drowning my entire life, barely keeping my head above water. Don’t get me wrong, I thought about it; letting the current pull me under. My life was a nightmare and who would keep living in this kind of misery? But I can’t give up. I refuse. If they would just die, my life would be a thousand times better. I’ve tried to run away but I’m dragged back kicking and screaming every time. Then I met him.

He makes me feel human and for the first time I’m looking forward to tomorrow. Then my only lifeline is ripped away from me, leaving me gasping for air.

Alexander Harper

The neighbors who live next door were always screaming, yelling and crying. I didn’t know the horrors that were happening between those walls. If I had only paid attention, if I had only said something, maybe I could have helped her sooner. Rather, I just left, spending most evenings out with friends. I didn’t want to make waves; I didn’t want to put more on my mothers’ already full plate.

But when I am put into a position to finally help the girl next door, I don’t hesitate. I start to make plans, I want to give her the life she has always deserved, and I almost get us there, until her living nightmare plunges us back into the deep end.

Blurb:

The choice is hers... but what if she didn't have to choose?
The Fated Paths Duology follows Penelope Frey, underestimated seventh heir of Paralia, faced with a choice. Will she travel to Oresteia, her family's opposing Kingdom, and help them find what they claim she stole? Or, will she follow her best friend to war, fighting for Paralia's army when that same artifact is not found?
In book one, Bend, Penelope decides to take a chance at Oresteia's cold exterior and attempt to recover what has been presumably stolen. Can she find the missing artifact with her limited Kingdom knowledge? Can she trust the Oresteian royal family's intentions, knowing nothing about them?
As Penelope adapts to Oresteia's lifestyle, she finds friendship and magic in the unlikeliest of places. Will her newfound confidence in herself and knowledge of her world be enough to stop their Kingdoms from collapsing? Or would she have been better off joining the army to fight for her Kingdom?

Blurb: Gaia is a simple college student: a weekend relaxing in the woods, a pile of books, and a distinct lack of adventure are all she needs to be happy. Never mind the worries about the future that keep creeping in.

Thrander wriggles its tentacles at its umpteenth animal wrangling expedition; the Ukoid captain is no stranger to finding new creatures for its employer’s menagerie, but after so many times of the same thing, it’s a bit bored. These creatures don’t really vary that much from world to world... right?

Bhosla, a young Ukoid zoologist, is overjoyed when Thrander invites it to join on its very first visit to an extraterrestrial planet — not just its first visit, but an actual expedition to find a human. Books can only teach you so much, after all.

When two horrifying creatures emerge from the woods hell-bent on capturing her, Gaia has choices to make — all of them revolving around what will keep her alive the longest. And are those... tentacles? Perhaps there are a few more decisions than she thought there were...

Triggers: curse words, alien abduction, dubious consent, violence (physical fight and murder in self defense), various sexual acts with non-humanoid aliens including a threesome (why choose romance).

With Morgan City in danger and Gaymer missing, Shadow Guardian answers the call to action with three reluctant new heroes: Sentry, Fire, and Ice.

Synopsis:

Piper Jones's picture-perfect life with fiancé Elliot is shattered when a tragic accident leaves her paralyzed.
Left with no options and repeatedly told she’ll never walk again, Phoenix finds her. Desperate for hope, the couple puts all their trust into Phoenix, a seven-day virtual reality rehabilitation trial that has achieved unprecedented success. Phoenix seems to be their only chance to preserve a sliver of the life they knew.
The start of Piper’s trial is idyllic—a utopia that promises health, safety, and recovery. However, as the layers of the company's secrets unravel, Piper and Elliot soon realize Dr. Allan Fritz and his tech giant Phoenix harbor ulterior motives beneath the surface.
Piper finds herself more of a prisoner of Phoenix than she is of her physical condition. The more she learns, the more dangerous it becomes for her. Now, she has to fight. Will the promises of virtual reality provide the key to reclaiming Piper and Elliot's dreams for the future?
First-time novelist Catherine Conmy and award-winning filmmaker takes you on a suspenseful journey through grief, doubt, and the unyielding forces of fate that will leave you bone-chilled and questioning humanity’s growing dependence on technology.

From felling dead trees in the Colorado Rockies to slitting the throats of her enemies, Antje had her work cut out for her. Too bad the Norse gods don't offer paid time off.

After a premonition of a terror attack nearly kills her, the god Odin jolts Antje into a violent and confusing spiritual awakening. Seeking answers, she travels to the world's most exclusive school for magic concealed beneath Copenhagen.

Immediately thrust into a world of dark magic and global conspiracy, Antje discovers she's no mere mortal—but the incarnation of a valkyrie.

With the help of Cole—a charming CIA agent—and the school's eccentric professors, Antje unravels a sinister plot: the Dark Queen and her putrid army are planning a siege on humanity. Antje must thwart the carnage, not only for Midgard's sake—but to prevent all of the nine realms from plunging into eternal darkness.

There's just one problem: there's no manual on how to be a valkyrie.

CHOOSER OF THE SLAIN is a dark fantasy thriller packed with magic, Norse mythology, gore, dark humor, and a cast of lovably complex characters. With copious twists and turns, this book will keep you guessing until the end.Additional info: The book is 275 pages (~94,000 words)
