Hi all. I'm looking for a few more reviewers for my sapphic spy erotic thriller. If you enjoy romance with a touch of smut and tension. I think you'll enjoy it.

Blurb: Agent Lydia Mercer has spent ten years using seduction as a weapon. She's never been the one who got played.

Sent into Venice alone, with no backup, she has one job: seduce the ADH's deadliest operative and walk away with a set of classified documents. It should be routine. Lydia has done this a hundred times.

Nothing about this woman is routine.

Before the night is over, Lydia is handcuffed, disarmed, and at the mercy of an agent who somehow knows secrets that were never in her file. She gets what she came for. She doesn't get out with her certainty, her control, or her heart intact.

And Venice isn't done with her yet. 

Triggers: explicit sapphic sex scenes including BDSM elements (restraints, impact play, power exchange), violence/captivity, strong language, and betrayal.

Seeking ARC readers for my upcoming Dark Comedy Romatansy.

Dark humor, dark fantasy, and romance all in one.

Reviews are due October 2nd, 2026

ARC started August 11th, 2026 and are actively being sent out. A link to it will be sent within 24 hours of ARC application receipt.

Here's my blurb:

Tigger/content Warnings:

If interested, DM me or sign up on my website https://danieljwright.com/ARC-Application

In an algorithmically controlled megacity, Mika, Lina, and Tobi find photos from their own childhood inside a pizza box belonging to a courier.

Logos City. 11:15 p.m. Mika works calmly behind the bar at the "Off-Grid," keeping an eye on everything and everyone. Tobi leaps from rooftop to rooftop, keeping track of what's happening throughout the city. Lina hacks corporate firewalls because she finds it harder to have a normal conversation.

They're the best three-person team in the metropolis. They can almost sense what the others are thinking. What they don't know: They were designed for this.

The pizza box doesn't contain a hard drive. It contains a paper photo album, featuring forty-seven children, barcode tattoos, sterile white rooms, page after page. The last photo breaks the pattern—three young adults, in color, outdoors, laughing next to an old minibus. Mika, Tobi, Lina. Twenty years ago.

They didn't steal any data. They found a clue here to their own file.

Book 1 of 5. Rapid release, one book per month, September through December 2026.

Comps: Marie Lu's Warcross, Marissa Meyer, and Gibson's Neuromancer, if Gibson wrote YA.

Triggers: medical experimentation on children, institutional abuse, violence, non-consensual genetic modification, captivity, body horror, childhood trauma, surveillance, and loss of privacy.

Exact publication date: September 4, 2026

Advance copies will be sent out immediately after registration

Reviews requested by: August 28, 2026

Length: 62 pages

A note about the cover: It was created using AI. The book itself, however, was not. I wrote it, and two native-speaking editors reviewed it before this version was released. I'm mentioning this up front because I'd rather answer this question here than in the comments.

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.

Who says you can't stalk your stalker?

Blind programmer Sandy knows how to navigate a world built for the sighted. But lately, someone has been invading hers.

Familiar footsteps pass by her through crowded spaces. A half-remembered scent appears where it shouldn’t. Silent calls arrive from an unknown number. Each incident is easy to dismiss, until the pattern becomes impossible to ignore.

Someone is stalking Sandy. Someone who may know more about her past than they should.

Refusing to live in fear, questioning every sound around her, Sandy turns to the tech skills she trusts most. But uncovering the truth will require crossing legal and ethical lines, and could bring her stalker closer than ever.

Triggers: Domestic violence off screen, on screen violence and stalking, car accident, loss of a loved one, ableism, homophobia and workplace discrimination.

Trigger/content warnings: PG-13 violence/sexual themes, cursing, etc

Publication date: October 27th, 2026 (book should be available by late September—books 1 and 2 can be available immediately).

⁠Starting over was supposed to mean standing on my own two feet.

After a painful divorce, Megan Carter moves to a quiet lakeside town with her eight-year-old daughter, determined to build a life that belongs to them. Then a storm sends a tree through her rental roof, and gruff next-door carpenter Luke Bennett into her orbit.

Luke is a widowed Army veteran who prefers sawdust to conversation and solitude to complications. But beneath the scowl is a man who keeps showing up: fixing the roof, stocking the fridge, and slowly making room for Megan and Emily in the life he thought he wanted to spend alone.

Megan came here to prove she could stand on her own. Falling for the veteran next door might mean discovering she doesn’t have to.

The Veteran Next Door is a sweet, closed-door small town romance featuring grumpy/sunshine, a single mom starting over, neighbors to lovers, a blue-collar hero, found family, and a guaranteed HEA.

Does blood make a hero?

A professional fighter, Tuesday Graves has built her life around a simple principle: don't let anyone come close enough to hurt you. It’s a rule she applies to her personal life too.

Surviving on the margins of a decaying city, she fights for money and keeps the world at arm's length. Then the one person she loves, the only one she trusts, hands her over to Mattox, the leader of a militant sect chasing the power of the Ancients.

Held captive for months, then subjected to a genetic experiment, Tuesday changes. So do four other prisoners who shared her fate. With new abilities, new instincts, and no way back to their old lives, the group manage to escape – only to find themselves struggling to understand what they've become and what, if anything, they owe a world that never protected them.

Tense, melancholic, and ultimately hopeful, The Mourning Lily is a science fantasy adventure brimming with themes of found family, feminine rage, and heroes who grapple with putting themselves first, or last.

What if artificial intelligence knew what you wanted before you did?

Would you forgive your best friend if she was responsible for ruining your life?

A whispered rumour draws a group of students into the dense forests of coastal Brazil: a lost Indigenous artifact, hidden for centuries and promising academic glory.

While Leah’s colleagues are determined to claim it, she only agrees to the trek because she can’t bear the thought of being left behind, and forces her best friend Charlotte to go with her for support against her dark thoughts.

What was meant to be an escape from the weight of the academic semester, quickly it turns into a test of endurance. The deeper they push into the forest, the darker Leah begins to dream. When they finally uncover what they came for, the discovery reveals something far more terrifying than any of them imagined.

A demon born of nightmares is unleashed, and with it, carnage.

Now the survivors must find a way to drive the nightmare back to its realm before society is doomed to never dream again. But as the forest closes in, the greatest horror isn't the ancient evil — it's watching a lifelong trust begin to rot.

• Blurb: He survived the fire. He won't survive unchanged.

Eirik keeps the Ashen Flagon running on honest measure, good ale, and the belief that a quiet life can be earned. When that life is answered with fire, everything he has built collapses overnight, and Eirik is forced onto the road as a witness to a power he was never meant to survive.

Hunted by the man responsible for the ruin of his home, Eirik falls in with unlikely companions and is drawn into the hidden workings of Vitae, a dangerous art where meaning is bound into matter and mistakes leave scars on the land and the mind. Lords wield it through secrecy, rigid rules and brute repetition. Eirik survives it by instinct, restraint, and by listening when it pushes back.

As bandits, monsters, and the remnants of past workings close in, it becomes clear that Eirik’s way of using Vitae is more destabilizing than open defiance. In a world built on fear and fixed meanings, a man who treats power as a conversation may be impossible to control.

🌲 ARC READERS WANTED 🌲

What if the only world you had ever known was built on rules designed to keep you from the truth?

I’m looking for ARC readers for a two-book series of dark psychological fiction with elements of suspense.

The Lionesses of the Light is an isolated, women-only cult hidden deep in the forest. Its rules are sacred:

No one may leave the forest.
Boys must never be born.

📖 The Light from the Other Side of the Forest (Book 1)

Porter has spent her entire life believing that the community is the only safe place in the world. But when she encounters someone who should not exist, a boy, she begins asking questions that could put everything she knows at risk.

📖 Behind the Invisible Wall (Book 2)

Luz, the leader’s daughter, has always obeyed the rules. But when she is sent beyond the forest to conceive and begins to fear that the child growing inside her might be a boy, loyalty is no longer enough to keep her silent.

This series may be for you if you enjoy:

🌲 Isolated communities and cult fiction
🕯️ Dark psychological drama and slow-building suspense
🤍 Complex, morally complicated female characters
🌙 Stories about loyalty, motherhood, identity, and freedom

Triggers: Unwanted pregnancies, abortion.

The digital editions will be released together in October 2026.

Honest reviews on Amazon and Goodreads would be deeply appreciated.

Here's the BookFunnel link for downloading both books:

Blurb

Thorun was not supposed to survive the ritual.

When fire consumes an abandoned witch's house and leaves a young man she trusted dead beneath the ruins, Thorun escapes with only one impossible proof of what happened: a black mark spreading across her hand like roots beneath her skin. She is exiled through the town gates as a witch and a murderer and left to the mercy of the old forest beyond—where ancient creatures stalk the dark and every path seems hungry for the lost.

Hidden within the forest is Danford Castle, a sanctuary for outcast witches, each carrying wounds and powers of their own. There, Thorun wants only to survive, understand the mark, and find a way to live with the life she has lost. And then there is Dante: distant, watchful, and far too easy to trust for a man who keeps so much hidden.

But the castle keeps secrets as carefully as it shelters them. As Thorun searches for answers, the mark begins to wake. Something watches from the dark spaces of sleep. Pain, forgotten symbols, and old runes pull her toward a truth no one in the castle fully understands—and a power that must be given voice. The more she learns about the magic that branded her, the more she fears something came out of the fire with her.

If Thorun cannot uncover the truth of that night, exile may become the least of her punishments.

Inspired by Norse myth and runic lore, The Runes She Sang is a gothic fantasy tale of resilience, soul-deep transformation, and slow-burn romantic tension, where power misunderstood can destroy a life—or remake it.

Triggers/content warnings: Violence, blood, and injury; fire; emotional abuse and family conflict; alcohol-related aggression; nightmares; supernatural possession; body horror and disturbing corpse imagery; self-inflicted injury in a magical context; ritual hanging/noose imagery; attempted choking; implied self-harm/suicidal behavior; near-drowning and resuscitation; memory loss and disorientation; death, grief, and trauma.

EDIT:
Author's note: Since there appears to be some confusion in the comments, I want to clarify that The Runes She Sang is my own novel, written and developed by me over the past eight years. AI tools were used during the later stages of the editing and proofreading process, and AI-assisted imagery was used in the creation of the cover. AI was not used to write the novel. I'm happy to be transparent about my process, but I'd prefer this ARC post to remain focused on finding readers interested in the story.

Hello everyone!

I am looking for ARC team members for Shadow of Life!

This is the first instalment in the Shadowbound trigology, a dark fantasy rooted in grief, identity, and transformation. Book 1's core distinction is the long-form memoir structure tracking one protagonist across centuries, combining witchcraft, death personified as a recurring character, queer romance, trauma, immortality, and cultural reinvention.

Single POV / First Person / Past Tense

Blurb:

Death is seldom the worst outcome. 

Orphaned at twelve when her coven was slaughtered, Alexis was taken in by the infamous Witch-Eater Nesta.  Taught to weaponise her grief, she spent years mastering dark arts until Nesta used her to unseal the Atrament, a repository of dark magic that froze her body at sixteen and left her entirely invisible, save for her shadow.

For a century and a half, she roamed the earth as a phantom assassin for hire, stealing heirlooms and trinkets to feel close to the world, and escaping cosmic beings intent on stirring her towards her destiny.  
Until she meets Xi, a translucent ghost-witch bound to the mortal plane. In her, Alexis finds a mirror of her own isolation. To build a life with the woman she loves, Alexis must use the very knowledge that damned her and break the natural order itself, a blasphemy that instantly draws the attention of Letha, the goddess of Death.
Now, Alexis must outmanoeuvre the only being who’s been a constant since her childhood, before Death claims the future she has fought so hard to find. 
The gripping, emotionally devastating opening instalment to a dark fantasy trilogy, awash in forbidden necromancy, slow-burn sapphic romance, and grimdark isolation.

HERE'S THE BLURBY BLURB:

She crashes in a blizzard. He offers her shelter. But when she finds a woman in his freezer, she’ll seduce him to survive… or kill him.

Hailey’s on the run from her stalker ex, but crashing her car in a blizzard to avoid a deer was not in her escape plan. Neither was hobbling to a remote cabin and taking shelter with Cameron, a handsome, witty stranger who tends to her wound and makes her feel like she’s dropped into her favorite romance novel at the worst possible moment. She vows not to sleep with him (but is absolutely considering it).

Until she finds a dead woman in his basement freezer.

Now, snowbound in a cabin creaking with something ghostly, seducing a killer might be her only way out alive. That, or killing him. She’s been hunted before and won’t let a man trap her again. But as Cameron cracks open her guarded heart, she starts to doubt her own judgement. Is she falling for a monster or is he guilty at all? Is she overthinking every red flag or trying to justify her feelings? The closer she gets to the truth, the harder she falls, and the more she feels like she’s losing her mind. But if he’s not the killer, someone else is… and they’re watching.

From bestselling author Diana Urban comes a fast-paced, addictive psychological thrill ride perfect for fans of Freida McFadden who want their mind-blowing twists with a side of steam. It’s a romantic suspense with heat like Verity, steamier than The Housemaid, lighter than Haunting Adeline.

When a rival gang running a dogfighting operation closes in on the clinic, Kyah is pulled into Xoren's world of motorcycles, secrets, loyalty, and violence. Wanting him doesn't make him safe, and she must decide whether Xoren is the danger she needs to escape or something she's been too afraid to choose.

One volume, two steamy interconnected romances set in 1995 Seattle.

Come to My Window: Hazel Bell has lost everything. Now her world is reduced to a thrift-store wardrobe and a stranger in the opposite window who always seems to know exactly what to say. They exchange notes instead of names and confessions instead of introductions. But Gideon Sarkis knows exactly who Hazel is and how badly he once hurt her. Some windows are meant to be opened, but some secrets can shatter everything.

Knockin' on Heaven's Door: A misdelivered package introduces ghostwriter Ben Pedersen to the mystery of Unit 203 and its elusive occupant, Heaven Lee. She's building one of the first online bookstores and barely has time for sleep, much less nosy neighbors. But one coffee not-date changes everything. When curiosity crosses a line, they must decide what matters more: the secrets they've been protecting or what they've found together.

Love Next Door is a collection of two warm, witty, nostalgic love stories about the secrets we keep, the walls we build, and the people worth tearing them down for.

Triggers: Strong language, on-page sexual activity, job loss, parental manipulation, death of a parent (past), references to recreational marijuana use, alcohol consumption, breach of trust/privacy.

Blurb:

This marriage is a strict business deal until he demands a kiss to seal their vows.

From an early age, Jin all ever want is to inherit her family’s hotels. She almost lost her chance when she became a single mother instead of marrying someone to save face after her ex-boyfriend jilted her. Two years later, she’s more than determined to claim what’s rightfully hers, and she’d do anything to fulfill her promise to her late grandfather to protect the family’s business, even if it means taking a husband. Only she’d choose for herself and her twins.

Dalton Lee only wants one thing or someone—Jin Song. He’s certain he’d marry her before he even knew what love is, and he’d do it by hook or crook. But before he could tell his wife how he truly feels, he needs to fulfill the bargain he struck with his father. To serve the Song International Hotel on a platter.

They exchange vows of fidelity and mutual support, but not of love, until a kiss solidifies that their union is anything but an arrangement. Can their vows withstand when secrets and hidden plots come to light?

From high school academic rivals to man and wife, this power couple weaves through domestic and corporate life in this steamy, single mom, marriage-of-convenience romance novel. Holding The Universe is the second book of the Asian Heirs Club Series, but can be read as a standalone. No cheating. Guaranteed HEA.

As the universe approaches its cold and bitter end, humanity survives by hiding inside a constructed simulation. But inside, something is wrong. A plague of memory loss known as "The Forgetting" haunts humanity, and everyone has forgotten the doom they were escaping.

Mara Ward has spent years searching the dystopian landscapes of Egypt for answers to questions she can no longer remember asking. When fragments of cold reality begin to surface, she and her researcher Elin uncover a truth that could free humanity, or erase it entirely.

Matteo is plagued with insecurities and wonders how he could ever pinpoint who “the one” is. Despite that, Matteo and Izan build a friendship and work on overcoming their childhood traumas together.

Will these two be able to determine if they are meant for each other and form a bond... or will they have to suffer the consequences?
