ARC Opportunities: November 14, 2025

 

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.       She was looking for a new start. She found a town with a deadly secret.

Investigative journalist Grace Carrington's life is in pieces. After losing her high-profile job in Nashville, she inherits a house in the picturesque, Christmas-obsessed town of Frostwood, Minnesota, from a grandmother she barely knew. Seeing it as a sign, she packs her bags, ready for a quiet life of small-town charm and cozy winters.

But Frostwood's idyllic facade cracks when the town's beloved Santa Claus, a man who is the heart of their holiday traditions, vanishes without a trace.

Grace's journalistic instincts ignite. Teaming up with the handsome, by-the-book local deputy, Jack Manning, she begins to peel back the layers of Frostwood's cheerful exterior. She soon discovers that her grandmother's past is deeply entangled in the town's most cherished secrets, and that a dangerous conspiracy lurks beneath the festive lights.

In a town where everyone knows your name, but no one is telling the truth, Grace must unravel the mystery of the disappearing Santa before the Christmas magic of Frostwood is lost forever. But in a town hiding so many secrets, is there anyone she can truly trust?

c.      Jack I’m a monster, a beast, a creature of shadow and legend, something children are warned about while they snuggle up by the cozy fire. I am cold, frigid, lifeless death. I’m Jack Frost.

Cursed to an eternity of wandering the woods, reaping the souls of worthless humans once every year, my existence is bathed in blood and isolation. Until her — my litill snær. Her presence in my woods brings light to the dead of Winter for the first time in a long time. But could she truly learn to love a beast?

Elisa I hate Christmas. All these cheery, happy, nuclear families huddled around the fire make me nauseous. It’s a time to celebrate with the ones you love. But everyone I loved died, leaving me alone. Which is why I decided to travel this year for the holidays. I thought that getting away for a while might help bring some holiday cheer back into my life.

I’ve never been more wrong. Now I’m stranded half way around the world with a man I’ve never met, isolated in a snowed-in cabin. And there’s something out there, something lurking in the shadows of the woods, something watching me

Frost is a dark Christmas story featuring a monster that falls for a mortal. While the story does end with a sweet HEA, the path there is bathed in blood. Proceed with caution.

c.      Sadie Winslow

I never expected to run into my sister’s ex-boyfriend at that New Year’s Eve party. I should’ve known it was a possibility—I mean, it was his hometown—but I never thought he’d be at THAT party.

Then the Valentine's date from hell—not even close to his hometown? And the Memorial Day barbecue and Fourth of July festival? What was happening?

It was a surprise when my sister told me they split up, but I understood it after the stories she told. Now though? I’m struggling to believe he’s really as bad as she said.

Nothing’s adding up anymore.

Reid Alexander

Running into my ex’s younger sister wasn’t on my bingo card for the year, but I’d never hold the sins of my ex against Sadie. Just because her sister was a witch doesn’t mean she is.

And with every run-in, it’s getting harder and harder to deny that Sadie might be the Winslow sister I was always supposed to be with.

If only I could figure out why she hates me so much…
