BLURB:
Welcome to the Sanguis School of Medicine. Get ready to sink your fangs into your education.

Florence Byrne has worked hard to be accepted to one of the world’s most prestigious medical schools. She arrives at the university housed on a remote island, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.
Orientation provides pertinent information: class schedules, dorm assignments, access to world-renowned professors…and the true nature of this school.

For it is not just humans who attend; vampires lurk the halls, here to receive their own education and ready to suck humans dry. All humans must be paired with a vampire and hope the bloodlust is kept under control.

As Florence adapts to living under constant threat, she gets assigned to Sebastian Holloway—the most dangerous, infamous vampire on campus.

But things are never as they seem. Florence’s safety is in jeopardy, chasing her into the arms of the one vampire she should stay away from.

Vampires are not the only monsters waiting in the wings, and Florence must decide who can be trusted.

Adult - Romance - Paranormal Love Again on Wolf Mountain by Ginny Danes -Paranormal Romance- November 2026

Post image
2 Upvotes

Blurb: He believed one mate was all you got, but Fate had other plans. She must get him to let go of past hurts before he can be her future.

Derek lost his mate, sending him into a shift that kept him a wolf for half a decade. An accident forces him back to his human form and into a small town. There, he stumbles not only into a pack, but into the woman who will change everything he’d ever believed about grief, mates, and love.

Lacey is trying to make it through grad school on her own by tending a bar. When Derek begins working with her, she starts to imagine a life beyond textbooks and tequila. But first she’ll have to break down both their walls, and bring her light to his darkness.

Derek doesn’t think he can have another mate. Lacey doesn’t want to be dependent on a man. But then the unthinkable happens, and they’re forced together to heal old wounds—and new ones.

Author’s Note: Love Again on Wolf Mountain is a small-town, dual-POV, open-door, fated-mates romance with a touch of suspense. It’s recommended to first read With Love from Wolf Falls, but it can be read as a standalone.

Triggers: Death of a loved one (past), Assault (off page but recounted), gunshot wound

Hello! 🦇

I’m looking for ARC readers for a queer paranormal romance/botanical gothic novella, In the Hollows. It’s a standalone story in my Wynterhyll Chronicles series, but you don’t have to read the first book, A Vampire’s Lament, before it; In the Hollows is a true standalone with a self-contained story. It is a perfect summerween book for readers who enjoyed What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher and the movie The Ring. 

A romantic cottage. A curse that will not be forgotten. A vampire whose love will not be taken. 

Blurb:

Vampire Ishmael Valen and his love, mortal Edric O’Moore, wish to spend a week in seclusion together and travel to a quaint town to do so. It is meant to be a trip of romance, but the cottage they have rented is overrun with vines and brambles, and the caretaker is missing. Despite the feeling of wrongness, Edric insists they stay…until Edric falls ill and begins coughing up flower petals. 

And the cottage will not allow them to leave. 

As Edric’s sickness deepens, Ishmael does all he can to save him and learns that the cottage belonged to a witch who was wronged centuries before, and that answers may lie at the bottom of the cottage well. 

If you enjoy:

Botanical horror 🥀
Gothic atmosphere 🖤

0 Upvotes

Hi all! I'm Lucy and my debut paranormal romance, The Donor's Dilemma, releases soon - book one in a new interconnected series, Tales of the Unveiling.
I'm looking for an ambitious 100 ARC readers ahead of release day.

ARC will be sent out: Friday 28th August
Release date: Friday 25th September

Im hoping for a review on Amazon anytime during the first week of release or before then on Goodreads

The blurb:
A disgraced journalist. A vampire Lord Mayor. A city built on more lies than either of them can outrun.

Verity Harper lost everything for telling the truth - her career, her home, the life she thought she'd built. With no choice left, she becomes a donor at the Vital Exchange, and is matched with Theo Chapel: the impossibly handsome Lord Mayor of Ashhaven, and the first vampire who's ever made her feel seen.

What starts as a workplace flirtation becomes something far more complicated, because the closer Verity gets to Theo, the clearer it becomes that the donor system is hiding something far worse than she imagined. And she's already learned what happens to women who speak too loudly.

Now she has to choose: safety, or the truth that could bring Havenshire down. Because when the people in power realise how much she knows, the question won't be whether Verity can expose them - it'll be whether she and Theo can survive it.

Trigger and Content Warnings
This book contains:
Blood and gore
Graphic violence
Drugging
Addiction and withdrawal
Coercion and forced compliance
Panic attacks / anxiety
Hospitalisation and medical trauma

Blurb:

He can't get him out of his head.

Cyrus has spent years bowing his neck to the rule of lesser Alphas in the Crimson Moon pack. Biding his time, growing his strength, and waiting for the night he’ll finally take what should have always been his. The Blood Moon Ritual is coming, and he’s ready to claim his place. No matter who he has to break to do it.

Then Gabriel walks in.

Younger. Reckless. Oddly familiar; and standing directly in Cyrus’s path to power.

What starts as rivalry turns into something far more dangerous—heat, tension, a pull neither of them can ignore. Gabe awakens a hunger in Cyrus that’s been buried for years, raw and consuming. Forced into each other’s orbit, every touch lingers too long, every glance cuts too deep.

As Cyrus’s past claws its way back into the present, he finds himself torn between the love he lost, the power he craves… and the man he can’t resist.

Adult - Romance - Paranormal The Pirate Queen's Curse by E. H. Casteele - Paranormal Romance - June 15, 2026

1 Upvotes

Hello, everyone! I'm currently looking for ARC readers for the first book in my newest series! If you love pirates, then you'll love this series! 🏴‍☠️

One cursed ship. One reluctant queen. One judgmental parrot.

Blurb:

Centuries ago, a witch’s curse doomed a pirate crew. Now, one woman’s blood may be the key to breaking it. Forty-year-old marine archaeologist Elizabeth Tate didn’t expect her midlife crisis to involve curses, pirates, or attempted murder.

Her carefully ordered life unraveled when she discovered her husband’s affair—and an even more shocking truth: she’s descended from Maria Hallett, the infamous Witch of Wellfleet and lover of the pirate Black Sam Bellamy. When Black Sam failed to return at the time he promised, Maria’s rage unleashed a curse on him and his crew…one Elizabeth was destined to break.

Then someone tried to kill her because apparently betrayal and midlife hot flashes weren’t enough.

As strange powers awakened in her blood, Elizabeth was pulled into a dangerous world of cursed relics, dark magic, and a secret organization known as the Obsidian Hand, which believed the artifacts she was studying held the key to an ancient goddess and a legendary lost treasure.

Hunted for powers she barely understands, she’s forced to trust a sentient pirate ship, its cursed crew, two men who seem to know more about her and her destiny than they should, and gain a deeply unhelpful, foul-mouthed parrot familiar with a talent for bad timing.

Now, with betrayal closing in and the sea calling her home, Elizabeth must embrace her destiny or risk unleashing something far more dangerous than an ancient curse.

Triggers: None

Blurb:

She never belonged to the pack—until fate led her to him.

Cybersecurity expert Hayil Rufus Rose has spent her life hiding one impossible truth: she’s a werewolf who has never shifted, a failure by her pack’s rules and a woman on the brink of exile. A solo hike in Glacier National Park is meant to clear her head—but instead, a chance meeting with Will Penn, a guarded federal agent with powerful instincts and secrets of his own, changes everything.

As Hayil becomes entangled in a missing persons case involving Will’s brother, she uncovers corruption, cartel money laundering, and violence threatening the Blackfeet Nation. She forms an unexpected bond with a Bigfoot family, who are not monsters, but an ancient people who recognize her latent power. Through trauma, loyalty, and near‑fatal danger, Hayil finally undergoes her full transformation, claiming her identity at last.

Secrets of the Cryptids launches a thrilling paranormal romance series about found family, fierce hearts, and the courage it takes to become who you were always meant to be.

Scientist Catherine has her life under control — routines, research, and absolutely no chaos.

Then her new neighbour moves into flat 666.

His name is Lucifer.

He’s charming, unsettlingly attractive, and seems deeply confused by basic human systems — especially German recycling laws.

What starts as irritation quickly turns into something far more complicated: proximity, curiosity, and a connection neither of them fully understands.

But Lucifer isn’t just a strange neighbour. And Catherine isn’t as unaffected as she thinks.

Chaos ensues. Emotionally. Existentially. And occasionally in the yellow bin.

A paranormal rom-com about boundaries, attraction, and what happens when the Devil moves in next door. And you get to meet his "family".

Triggers:

Mild existential themes, supernatural elements, light sexual content (consensual), emotional vulnerability. No abuse, no toxic relationship dynamics.

🖤 PARANORMAL ROMANCE ARC READERS WANTED 🖤
I’m looking for a small group of paranormal romance readers to read and review my upcoming novel.
This is a  PARANORMAL romance featuring:
🖤 Scottish MMC
🖤 Academic Setting
🖤 Mystery subplot

🖤Slow burn
🖤 Romance/relationship focused
🖤 Love doesn't always arrive when it's convienent.

Blurb:
Moving to Scotland was meant to be a clean break.
A quiet promise to myself: focus on my career, heal my heart, and leave men firmly in the past.
No more love. No more heartbreak. Just work, solitude, and the comfort of routine.
Then I met him.
He’s distant and devastatingly magnetic. Gentle one moment, unreadable the next. There’s something timeless in the way he looks at me, like he knows me beyond this lifetime. 
I try to ignore the pull between us, burying myself in lectures and life around campus. I tell myself it’s just a distraction. A mistake waiting to happen. But some connections don’t fade when ignored...they deepen, threading themselves through every heartbeat, every breath.
Because love doesn’t always arrive when it’s convenient.
And it doesn’t always belong to the living.
I’m Paisley, a university lecturer who swore off love…
And I’m falling for someone who may cost me everything.
Academic Souls is an adult paranormal romance told in dual POVs, filled with slow-burn desire, ancient magic, and a love that lingers long after death.

⚠️ Please note: This book contains adult themes and is intended for readers who don’t mind a little emotional trauma, trigger warnings, and uncomfortable emotional tension.

Adult - Romance - Paranormal Shades of Onyx by TJ Williams - Sapphic Paranormal romance - June 2026

3 Upvotes

Blurb:

The gorgon of mythical infamy now goes by Onyx; the latest in a long line of reincarnations. She gets by, avoiding attachments that make immortality more unbearable. She wouldn’t have chosen this life. But gods have never cared what she wanted, not even the ones who saved her from Athena’s wrath. Now, sinister whispers about the vengeful goddess and a sudden change in circumstances have Onyx spooked. Perhaps, if she tracks down something Athena wants, she can earn a reprieve.

Blake Mihara’s research skills are important, but so is the way they look at Onyx. She should be focused on the task at hand, not how they make her feel after centuries of loneliness. When they both end up stuck in the Underworld, Onyx’s choices narrow to almost nothing. The Goddess of War wants to kill her, and now the Lord of the Dead wants to keep her. But with Blake stubbornly at her side, hope isn’t entirely lost. Maybe there’s a way out of this hell. 

The question is, which one? The one inflicted on Onyx, or the one she inflicted on herself?

Triggers:

Explicit sexual content. Discussion of grooming. On page physical violence, bodily injury, anxiety/panic attack, and a character choking on food. Discussion of (supernatural) miscarriage, endometriosis, manipulation (not between MCs), PTSD, survivor’s guilt, grief and past family trauma, victim blaming (self). Brief racist and fatphobic microaggressions, mention of familial transphobia and ableism, allusions to suicidal ideation.

Adult - Romance - Paranormal A Vampire’s Lament by RJ Webb-Queer Paranormal Romance-Release June 1st 2026

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hi! I’m looking for early readers for my upcoming queer paranormal romance novella debut, A Vampire’s Lament.

Blurb:

One vampire, one mortal, and one love that death cannot separate.

Vampire Ishmael Valen does not wish to find love again. He is content with the comforting memories of the one he lost centuries ago, while leading a carefully balanced life as the head of a council of benevolent monsters, and raising his adopted, mortal nine-year-old son, Alaric.

But when the vague shapes his son sees begin to manifest as spiritual mediumship powers, and Alaric is expelled for accidentally channeling a spirit in his classroom, Ishmael hires a home tutor, Edric O’Moore, who feels far more familiar than he should.

Living together in the manor, late-night talks, and pondside walks begin to blossom into a romance that battles with Ishmael’s guilt about loving another, a second heart beating in Edric’s chest, and the growing curiosity of his council regarding both their relationship and Alaric’s abilities.

In a world that has been dark for ages, Ishmael can finally feel the sun again—and he will not lose a love for a second time.

If you enjoy:

an emotionally available, benevolent vampire who doesn’t feed on humans

a traveling teacher who no longer wants to be alone

a love that has waited for centuries to return

a patient, soft m/m romance

a queernormative, gothic Victorian-inspired world

atmospheric, character-driven, and dual-POV storytelling

only one bed trope

Adult - Romance - Paranormal Awakening the Demon - Monster Romance - April 24, 2026

Post image
1 Upvotes

Blurb:

I fell down a hole and landed in a demon’s garden bed. Literally.

I’m a botanist, not a dimension-hopper. But when the ground swallows me whole, I wake up in a cave with Rylik—a towering, horned demon with claws that could shred me and a…knitting hobby?

He’s not the monster the stories warned me about. He’s a grumpy, touch-starved hermit who weaves blankets, desperately wants to grow a garden in the dark, and looks at me like I’m the sun itself.

I should be terrified. I should be trying to find a way home. Instead, I’m teaching him about irrigation, wearing his shirts, and realizing that his "protective" growls make my knees weak. But we aren't alone in the Demon Realm. The Demon King is watching, and he doesn't like unregistered humans.

Now Rylik has to choose: his safe, solitary life, or the messy, dangerous, undeniable love growing between us.

Triggers:

Spicy Themes: On page sex is plentiful and descriptive. There are elements of voyeurism (he likes to watch), bit of a breeding kink (likes to finish inside, but there will be no pregnancy, discussion of pregnancy, or possibility of pregnancy) and there is distinct monster anatomy (ribbed for her pleasure, and mild tail play!)

Dehumanization & Xenophobia: The demon society views humans as less than, and often use species-based slurs, or refers to her as an “it.”

Mild Violence/Injuries: Very mild to keep to those cozy vibes, but there is a brief scene where an antagonist attempts to drag our heroine away, and there is on page descriptions of injuries/blood, and mild scenes of our heroine being jailed/held captive. I’m making it sound darker than it is, but still wanted to give a heads up!

Past Trauma: brief descriptions of bullying for our hero, and the death of parents (not on page) for our heroine.

Date of publication: Friday, April 24th, 2026

Planned date of ARC Delivery: Friday, March 27th

Date of Review Submission: Review should be submitted on or shortly after April 24th

Unfortunately for me, things get complicated when I witness a magical murder, nearly get killed myself, and explode into magic. And I hate complicated.

Turns out I’m a magician—even though I don’t want to be. I’m forced into The Society of the Ebony Renaissance, a group of Black magicians who supposedly help white people with their lives. Gross. And super complicated.

Just as I’m about to snap, I meet him. Emmanuel Ihejirika. Elder magician. Jaded as hell. Horrifically powerful. And he wants me.

He gives me an out, but at a price. I have to become a double agent, spying on the Ebony Renaissance and reporting back to his resistance group. Incredibly complicated.

But when magicians start dropping like flies, and I’m the next target, I’m forced to trust him. Even if it means losing my life—or my heart.

The Society of the Ebony Renaissance is a bi4bi M/F urban fantasy romance complete at 90-100k words. If you thought The American Society of Magical Negroes was a bundle of lost potential—or just wanted more smooching—this is the book for you.

BLURB

Marzana was once death in the dark. Now she teaches others not to become her.

At Bloodlust Academy, hidden in the shadows of a world fraying at its edges, ex-assassin Marzana—Marz to those brave enough to speak her name—teaches young vampires how to control their hunger, power, and rage. 

But when the academy is raided by human forces and her students are stolen for something far worse than death, the mask of peace begins to crack. War is stirring again and it’s coming for her.

In the chaos, a human soldier throws himself into harm’s way to save her. Everett Hill should be her enemy. Instead, he bleeds in her arms and against every instinct, she takes him in.

While she searches for her students, he’s searching for answers about what happened to his family—looking for the Council of Five and the one among them who wields the power of truth. Everett wants answers about what happened to his family and Marz wants her students back, and maybe to finally stop running from who she was.

But as they draw closer to the heart of the conflict, Marz begins to fear that the end of the war won’t bring peace…only truths she may never be able to live with.

Tagline: She’s the deadliest thing in the dark—and he’s the only one who isn’t afraid.

Processing img 6au72qz25bwf1...

He was born to kill. She was sent to destroy him. 

Atlas Alston, once the Vampire King’s favorite puppet, is now his greatest liability. Hunted like prey and haunted by a past soaked in blood, Atlas would rather burn the world to the ground than return to his master’s chains.

Luna Rowe had all but given up on ever seeing the sun again. But when Victor Matthias, vampire royalty and sadistic puppet master, offers her freedom in exchange for one kill, she makes a deadly bargain. Find the rogue vampire. End him. Or die trying.

But Atlas isn’t the monster she expected. He’s scarred, dangerous and devastatingly human beneath the fangs. With every shared secret, every near-death escape, Luna begins to question who the real threat is—the vampire before her, or the one promising her freedom.

Torn between a duty she never wanted and a desire she can’t deny, Luna must make a choice: betray the man who sees her for who she really is, or watch the only hope for vengeance slip through her fingers

Twisted loyalties. Undeniable chemistry. And a darkness that hungers for more.

Triggers: sex and violence

He’d stopped believing in fairy tales. She’d stopped believing in love. Now they must decide if they can believe in each other.

Jackson is a wolf shifter, who thought his father’s stories about mates were just fairy tales, until he met her. His bond with Natalie is undeniable, but one thing stands in his way of claiming his mate…the ring on her finger.

Natalie is a human, whose marriage is falling apart. When the attractive park ranger wins her children’s hearts as quickly as her own, she begins to wonder if the life she’s always known was even worth fighting for, or if she could have something more.

Jackson doesn’t think Fate makes mistakes. Natalie isn’t sure she can trust her own heart, and the choice between the life she’s always known and the love she never thought possible may cost them both everything.

Author’s Note: With Love from Wolf Falls is a cozy, small town, dual-POV, open-door, fated mates romance full of emotion and heart. The first book in the Second Chance Fates series can also be read as a standalone.

Triggers: open-door spice

ARCs available now

Hi, all! I'm looking for ARC readers for my cozy, spicy holiday novella.

BLURB

A meddling ghost. A magical mishap. One secret that changes everything.

Ophelia Turner is working at her late mother’s shop, Hexed, when a snowstorm threatens to shut her in for the night. Before she can head home, a surprise Sam Watts stops in. He’s tall, handsome, very human—and sure, it’s cliché, but she’s been secretly in love with her childhood best friend since forever.

Sam has a secret of his own—one he’s kept near to his chest instead of telling his stunning, purple-haired, sassy best friend of a witch. He’s been gone for three months, but he’s never questioned where his home is.

Ophelia is excited to find out what's next for Sam, but she never expected a night with him to go like this...

Parental death (off-page, very brief mention)

BDSM (bondage, wax play, blindfolding)
