"Games of Adversaries" is free on Smashwords or 99c on Amazon. I would adore some more reviews on this book.

Genre: science fantasy
words count: Around 70k (222 pages)
Format: Kindle or download on Smashwords
Synopsis:


This debut novel from author Susan Elizabeth Curnow takes two men from vastly different worlds through shocking twists of loss, betrayal, and torture. Reeling from pain and enmity, they must ultimately realize that no one else has the power to save themselves and their worlds.

In a way that is deeply sympathetic to prisoners of war and soldiers exposed to terrible hardship everywhere, the author speaks to the heart of the reader with truth as well as compassion.

The author's grasp of the human condition is masterful and haunting.

If anyone would like to review "The Voice of the Land" please message me and I will send you a code, but only serious reviewers please.

Genre: Science Fantasy
Word Count: Around 80k
Format: Kindle
Synopsis:

In this science fiction novel by Susan Elizabeth Curnow, a clone created for no other purpose than to serve his ruthless master finds more than insight into the suicide of his friend and fellow clone when he is sent to the world of Cavan.
It may be the answer to all he's ever longed for if he can avoid the imminent danger of insanity and death--and accept that the land is a sentient entity he has been chosen to defend once gifted with the alien blood that gains him so much more than a powerful pair of wings.

Genre-Fantasy
word count-35,000
format-All digital formats available.
brief synopsis-In a world crawling with vampires, Romania is the safest place left on earth. Thanks to the Little Council, there hasn't been a vampire on Romanian ground in over five centuries. But one day, Liana Cantacuzino, also a member of the Little Council and a descendant of one of the old noble families, is ordered to bring one in, covertly. Enter Maximilien Hess, a thousand years old vampire determined to ruin the existing order of things.

Suddenly, Liana finds herself forced to protect Hess, instead of having the pandurs kill him. With the help from her trustful friends, Rodica Ghica and Ştefan Sturdza, and that of an innocent bystander, Dr. Jesse Carver, Liana has to find out what is going on and what the President is hiding from her. When all is revealed, Hess's secret changes everything.

The first novella in The Impaler Legacy series, a vampire saga like no other.

Moira Katson (moirakatson) | 8 comments "Shadowborn" is presently free on Smashwords and Goodreads, and $0.99 on Amazon! The entirety of the series is out now, so if anyone is interested in reviewing all three, feel free to send me a message for a Smashwords coupon!

Shadowborn (Light & Shadow, #1) by Moira Katson

Title: Shadowborn (Book 1 of the Light & Shadow Trilogy)
Genre: Fantasy
word count: 105k
format: ebook and paperback
brief synopsis: It has been only two generations since Arthur Warden seized the throne of Heddred from the Conradines, and now the crown rests on the head of Garad, sickly and weak. Shadows gather: legacies of the centuries-long rivalries for power, old betrayals, the endless plots of the courtiers, and the murmur of rebellion in the southern provinces…

Catwin, plucked from her life at the edge of the Kingdom, is thrust abruptly into the world of the Court when she is chosen by the Duke of Voltur to be a Shadow—spy, shield, and blade—to his niece, the Lady Miriel DeVere. The Duke’s ruthlessness is legendary, and he will stop at nothing to become the power behind the throne, using Miriel as a pawn to catch Garad’s heart.

But the Duke's carefully-laid plans are only a piece of the intrigue of the court, and greater forces than Catwin can imagine are massed against her, determined to eliminate Miriel and impose a new order of their own. If Catwin and Miriel are to survive, they must learn quickly who to trust, and when to turn their skills against the very people who have trained them...

Ken Mooney (kenmooney) Hi guys

Godhead is available now on Kindle and paperback, and will be on Smashwords in the middle of June.

I'd love to send out a few PDFs to anyone that's interested in reviewing, or if you have a specific digital format preference, I can provide those too.

It's a contemporary fantasy with classical mythology elements; definitely an adult read though it should appeal to fans of young adult/new adult. Approx 100000 words (and a fuller synopsis and/or other reviews are on the book's page.)
Ken

For anyone interested, I can provide a pdf copy of my latest short story in exchange for reviews to be posted here, on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Occupation by lazarusInfinity

OCCUPATION
Horror/Contemporary Fiction
Word Count: 13,430
Format: Kindle and Nook

Synopsis

"One thing I never could stomach about living in New Orleans...all the damn zombies." That seems to be the overall sentiment to many living in the decadent madness that is the Crescent City. In OCCUPATION two best friends struggle to survive in a post-Katrina New Orleans in which several of the city’s residents have turned into mindless, ravenous zombies. Largely ignored by many in the city/state legislature, the city’s residents are forced to defend themselves against a mysterious epidemic that has many baffled as to the true nature of its origin.

Now on the heels of a city swept in the madness and hysteria of Mardi Gras and the Super Bowl, two friends race against time in a last ditch effort to discover the truth behind the cause of the virus before it is too late. OCCUPATION is a funny, insightful and haunting story bringing a new twist on zombie folklore.

The book is available here:

C.A. Pack (capack) | 1 comments Hi,

I'm looking for reviewers for my 85,000 word YA fantasy Chronicles: The Library of Illumination coming out on April 29th.

Chronicles The Library of Illumination (The Library of Illumination #1-5) by C.A. Pack

Summary: 17-year-old Johanna Charette is the youngest curator ever selected to oversee the Library of Illumination, a centuries old, magical place where books literally come to life. It's an odd kind of library that caters to only a small group of approved clientele rather than the general public, in fact, the less people who know about the library, the better. Johanna accepts the job knowing surprises and danger lurk in her future. She also knows, in case of trouble, having an assistant can be invaluable, so she hires 16-year-old Jackson Roth to give her a hand with the day-to-day operation of the library. Jackson gets off to a rocky start, but manages to prove his mettle. Besides, he’s kind of cute and a lot of fun, and ridiculously brave.
Johanna is brilliant and resourceful—a natural born leader. She usually keeps the library operating on an even keel. Jackson is clever, intrepid, and funny. He relies on his wits when trouble arises. Unfortunately, his derring-do is one of the reasons why they sometimes find themselves in awkward situations. And it shouldn’t be any surprise when his wanton curiosity sparks a journey to a distant library, where they end up with front row seats to what’s destined to become—a war of the literary worlds.

If you're interested in reviewing it, I can send you an epub, mobi, or PDF.
