Upcoming ARC Reads
Hi there! Thank you so much for your interest in ARC Reading for me. Please see below for future ARC projects. If there is not an application link, ARCs are currently unavailable and will be announced at a future date.
If accepted as my ARC reader, you will receive an exclusive link to an unreleased book (see below). There are no obligations to post about the book, read the book or like the book. But if you did, I'd appreciate the post. ARC copies are not the final copies so if you see anything glaring, please let me know so I don't look like a clown when I release hehe
Carved in the Stars
Ardent Book 2
If you've read Crossed in the Stars, I invite you to ARC read for Carved in the Stars, the final book of the Ardent duet. It will be 3rd POV, fictional teetering on urban fantasy. Please fill out the application here
The Last Assignment (CITSA Henry's Story)
Short blurb:
Happy lives weren't created for people like me, nor were they ever given. No, I had to take it. Work for it. And just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, Sophia came into my life and made me crawl on my knees and beg for it.
Dual, 1st POV. A single, darkish romance book, no more than 320 pages. If you've read the CITSA duet, I touch base on his history. Now I'm diving deeper into it.
* While this book will technically be a "standalone," I do believe reading CITSA will give you a deeper meaning in his story. With that being said, if you read Henry's story first, you'll get a deeper meaning out of CITSA.
** Please do not sign up for this ARC if you do not like modern day, military, bodyguard or mafia vibes.
***Trigger warnings: violence, death, blood, mention of religion, sexual content, no HEA

Drāgan
This will be a darkish romantasy written in 3rd POV with possibly up to 6 books. This will be for you if you like romance, star-crossed lovers, action, adventure, world building, mythology, shapeshifters and looking for a series to get lost in.
This story will be influenced by Slavic mythology (similar to Norse mythology. Ex: god of thunder is named Perun but carries an axe instead of hammer like Thor.) and give off dark Hercules vibes, if he'd been sexier, darker, more dangerous and completely damaged lol. With that being said, the gods are a subplot.
Full Series Blurb:
In a world before Kings and Queens, heaven and earth were at war.
Humans, ridden with disease and famine, climbed the highest peak of Mount Elbrus and stormed the heaven's gates. For what good were the gods if they would not bring rain and harvest?
Guarding the gates of the god, Perun, were warrior angels with razored armor, glimmering swords and golden shields.
One night, the warrior Drāgan, who had fallen in love with a mortal girl, snuck away from the gates for he longed for her touch. The humans, starved and exhausted, were hardly a threat anymore.
Buried in the warmth of her arms, thunder suddenly clashed ferociously. Drāgan ran to the window and was met with lightning lacerations across the skies. Grabbing his armor, he returned to Mount Elbrus but when he arrived, all was silent. That is, all except the sound of human blood dripping from Perun's axe.
Enraged with Drāgan's betrayal, Perun tossed him from the heavens and struck the peaks of Mount Elbrus, severing mankind's access and cursing Drāgan to live like a human forever.
This was a blessing for him; he was free to be with Adryana forever. But when he returned to her village, Perun had struck her with lightning. Drowned with grief, he summoned the goddess of death, Marena, asking for the return of Adryana's soul.
She couldn't. She could, however, release her soul every 100 years. Desperate, Drāgan agreed, forgetting to ask questions. Adryana's soul belonged to Marena and it would return to her one way or another, forcing him to lose her over and over again. If, he was even lucky enough to find her.
If you're interested in ARC Reading Drāgan, please understand this project is a commitment so be thoroughly sure you're ready to sell your soul to me mwhahaha
*Please do not apply for this ARC if you do not like romantasy, spicy scenes and dark undertones that involve death, violence, etc
