If you are looking for a new author/your next read consider being an ARC reader/reviewer I have been doing a lot of ARC reads this year and finding a lot of new to me authors with amazing books that don't always get the hype that the more popular authors get. Leaving reviews matter especially for Indie authors the more reviews that a book has the more it gets shown to others as an option to read.
Thank you for supporting Indie Authors 💓
If you are an author with an upcoming ARC opportunity and want me to place it in my next ARC opportunities blog post let me know!
I've added good reads links for if you are interested in the book but can't commit to the ARC read and review timelines. These ARC opportunities were taken from the authors original posts.
*I try to not submit duplicates from week to week but I have been doing the arc opportunities post for a few months now and I'm sure that a duplicate might slip in from time to time.

c. Love
lures. Blood binds. And no one leaves unclaimed.
Secrets fester behind every smile in Mirafail,
where Maeve Keeling knows every lurking shadow—until people start to disappear.
Customers at her family’s restaurant fall mysteriously ill. Those who recover
vanish without a trace. Whispers turn to accusations, and the town she loves
now watches her with suspicion.
Then he arrives.
Dante Trevil is as intoxicating as the wine Maeve
adores—and just as dangerous. His presence is no coincidence. Mirafail’s finest
casks have been tainted with a dark promise—one sip, and the town will belong
to Dante’s sire.
Despite his desire to stop this plague, the blood
bond that shackles Dante to his master has made him complicit in the town’s
slow death. Every bottle poured is another sin on his soul. Every glance from
Maeve, another crack in his resolve.
The last and deadliest cask will be uncorked at
the Fall Masquerade Ball.
If Dante fails, Mirafail will fall. If Maeve can’t
uncover the truth in time, she will too. Trust is a gamble, love is a weapon,
and the final toast may be everyone’s last.
A dark gothic romance inspired by The Cask of
Amontillado and The Masque of the Red Death, this haunting tale is perfect for
fans of Gothikana by RuNyx and Eve Silver’s Dark Gothic series.
One-click now and become ensnared in forbidden
love, monstrous devotion, and vampires who offer ruin with a kiss.

c. Miranda’s
made a merry mess.
But her best friend Leo might have the festive fix she needs.
‘Tis the season…for fake dating to become real love.
Miranda
Yikes! With one errant swipe of my finger, I’ve
landed in some serious holiday hot water. Luckily, I’ve got a plan for damage
control—a fake relationship to calm the masses. And I know the perfect guy for
the job.
Caring, sharp, and built like a Viking, Leo is the
man of my dreams. The only problem? He’s never seen me as more than a friend.
Now he’s agreed to convince the Internet we’re in
love. But going on dates and sharing his bed is causing another Christmas
conundrum…
I might get addicted to his embrace.
Leo
I never realized my life had grown dull and
lifeless until I met Miranda.
Her vivacious charm and big-hearted spirit have
inspired me to be the best version of myself. With everyone else, I hid behind
my bright smile and easygoing ways, but she immediately saw every messy part of
me. Saw and accepted.
Except now she needs me to play a part I feel
totally unprepared for…
Her boyfriend.

c. “The
conquerors forced them out through blood and dragonfire.”
Three hundred years ago, when all was lost, the
druids stifled their own magic to choke out the enemy’s dragons. But now they
need them to fight on their side, and Aiya Velanyon is the key.
Try as she might, her dragon eggs still won't
hatch. She's given them her blood, and all the magic that she has to offer. In
spite of that, they remain dormant, glowing with the quiet promise of ancient
beings that have called out to her since she was born.
Agrona, who had once masqueraded as Aiya’s friend,
is reeling from the loss of the dragon eggs. But who-or what-is she, and what
is it that she truly wants?
“Where he walks, the forest
listens. Where he strikes, silence falls.”
Draven Arthmael spent his entire life protecting
the rolling hills and deep forests of Glenmara. He's no stranger to the
monsters that lurk in the shadows; creatures that most will only ever see in
the most harrowing of nightmares.
But something ancient in the forest is awakening.
The veil between realms is thinning, and danger unfolds by the day. Can he
protect his people from what’s to come, when the shadow of myth bleeds into
truth?
This is book #2 in The Druid and the Dragon
Queen series, which must be read in order.
It contains mature themes and is intended for
readers age 18 and older.

c. Adam Miller follows in his superstar
dad’s footsteps, all the way into the NHL as the London Panthers's new Goalie.
With immense dedication, talent, and a lot of hard work, Adam is determined to
finish his senior year with flying colours. But when his gradesslip,
everything h e's worked so hard for is on the line. Getting tutored by a sassy
brunette from his past was not on his list of things. Riley Griffin is the
definition of a good girl; a sarcastic ray of sunshine whose past continues to
haunt her. Her only goal this semester is to prioritize her attention on
her studies in kinesiology. What could go wrong after putting miles
between her and her hometown in Bayfield? Colliding into her
brittle rival from back home, the tattooed star hockey player, who turns her
world upside down.Riley knows avoiding Adam is in her best interest; after all,
she can't afford to get distracted. However, when Adam pleads for her help,
Riley senses a desperation she can't ignore. She's the kind of girl he never
thought he'd be interested in, and he's everything she thought she couldn't
stand. Suddenly, their teasing starts to border on flirting, and a deeper
connection forms through shared trauma. All bets are off once lines are
crossed, and unexpected romantic feelings emerge between them, which soon turns
to blistering heat. Falling for him would be a mistake, but the only thing
he truly can't do is resist her.

c. He
shattered her life without mercy.
Now she’s bound to him and planning his downfall.
The night the throne was usurped by the wicked
emperor, Princess Biyu lost everything. Now she lives as an imprisoned remnant
of a dead dynasty.
When her half-brother devises a plan to reclaim
the throne, Biyu sees a chance to change her fate. But before she can act, she
draws the attention of Nikator—the emperor’s most ruthless warrior.
He is merciless, cruel, and loyal to the usurper
who stole the crown. And now, he's her personal bodyguard.
Desperate to shake him, Biyu turns to ancient
magic. The spell was meant to drive him away. Instead, it binds them together
in a cursed, unbreakable marriage.
She didn’t mean to tie her fate to a monster.
And he certainly didn’t ask to be chained to a
prisoner.
Now locked in a union neither of them wanted, Biyu
is thrust into a life of secrets and sabotage—spying for her brother, plotting
against the throne, and doing everything she can to avoid Nikator’s suspicion.
But the longer they are bound, the harder it
becomes to separate hatred from heat, and vengeance from the pull of something
deeper.
She came to reclaim power.
But in a palace ruled by blood and lies, the most
dangerous enemy may be the one who stands beside her.
In a world where loyalty is
lethal and love is a curse, surrendering her heart could cost her everything.

Flynn Byrne
I’ve held a lot of
titles in my life: son, brother, friend, teammate, captain, and Stanley Cup
champion just to name a few. I was content with those titles until one phone
call changed everything. Now I have a new title to live up to: Da. My world
shattered around me when I got the call and found out the daughter I didn’t
know existed was born, and her mother didn’t make it. As if that wasn’t life
altering enough, my new baby has major health issues. When my only option is to
hire a nurse to help care for her it makes sense to hire the one that held my
baby and kept her safe the day she was born until I could get to her. Mia
Carter is kind, genuine, and damn does she stop the breath in my lungs every
time I look at her. She should be in the firmly off limits category, but I
can’t deny the magnetic pull we have towards each other. Will this finally
break me into a million little pieces? Or will Mia and my daughter be exactly
what I need to finally become restored?

c. Some
people leave. Others never let you go. Drew was both.
By the time I was ten, I’d lived in four different
towns and learned that my mother’s next drink always mattered more than I did.
Stability was a luxury I never had—until I met Mel. Her family became my safe
haven, the closest thing to home I’d ever known.
But I hadn’t expected Drew, Mel’s older brother.
Falling for him was easy. Hiding it was impossible. Every glance, every
lingering touch told me he felt the same, but I refused to risk the only real
family I had. Then, without a word, Drew left.
Now, years later, I’m back in town for work, and
avoiding him isn’t an option—especially when Mel volunteers him to help me
scout photography locations. Then a storm rolls in, trapping us in a remote
hunting cabin with no power, no escape, and nowhere to hide from the past.
Stuck together, they’re forced
to face the truth—and the pain. The truth will change their lives. But can they
find a way through it together?
