ARC opportunities December 19, 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. 

Please let me know if you end up signing up for any of these and what you think of them!  Would love to hear back and I'm always adding to my TBR.  

*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.

A Supernatural Horror Romance perfect for fans of Scarlett St. Clair, Raven Kennedy, and Laura Thalassa. Even thought these author are amazing and reminiscent of the heart of Forever and Always, Aria is hoping to pave a new genre that readers will love.

Seeing is believing...or at least that's what they say. But what if if your whole lie you've seen the dead?
Do you believe? Or do you believe you're going crazy?
A split second.

One premonition.

One wrong twist of fate—and now Death is hunting me.

Mackenzie Vidente was never meant to survive the moment that should have ended her life. One vision changed everything, pulling her out of Death’s grasp before he could claim her soul.

But one does not simply cheat death’s design—Daxton Mortis has come to collect.

He’s beautiful.

Terrifying.

Inevitable.

He watches Mackenzie like her fate is already sealed, like her soul belongs to him no matter how far she runs. He doesn’t just want to take her.

He wants to keep her.

Forever and always.

Forever and Always is a dark, gothic paranormal romance about fate defied, love forged in shadows, and what happens when Death falls for the one soul he was never supposed to touch.

Perfect for readers who crave morally gray monsters, supernatural obsession, sharp banter, and romance written at the edge of your final breath.

I died a queen’s death—betrayed by the king I loved.

Cedric was my mate, my king, my choice. I stood by his side through war, blood, and lies. And when I finally defied him in an attempt to stop him from slaughtering innocents, he drove a blade through my heart.

I thought that was the end. Until, somehow, I woke up five years in the past, on the day I’d chosen him.

This time, I won’t.

Instead, I bind myself to Azrael, the Northern Lycan King. A man the South calls a monster. A savage beast forged in frost and cruelty. In my old life, he used to be feared for his ruthlessness, but unlike my former mate, he hadn’t killed me.

And right now, he’s the only one who might stand a chance against Cedric.

I never meant to get involved with another lycan royal. Only to survive. I may have died for a king once, but I won’t bow to one again. Yet as war builds and my past claws at my heels, I feel the faintest stirrings of something I hadn’t thought trust.

I’ve been given a second chance, and this time, I’ll take Cedric down before I ever let him take me again—even if it means falling for a king who might be worse than the first.

Poppy Sullivan can rebuild a carburetor before her morning coffee, but dealing with feelings? Absolutely not. She is raising her eleven-year-old brother, running Murphy’s Auto Body, and giving her best “I totally have my life together” smile. The only thing keeping her from unraveling is the hot firefighter who lives above her shop and happens to be her best friend.

Ollie Kendrick has been in love with Poppy since they were sixteen. The entire town of Bridger Falls knows it, even the mailman knows it. Walker at The Black Dog definitely knows it and isn't subtle about it, because he has a pool going with the town on when they'll finally get together. But Poppy? She still thinks Ollie's just being “nice.”

When a surprise baby shows up in Ollie’s life, suddenly the three of them become four… maybe even a real family. Midnight feedings, shirtless bottle-warming, family bonding, small town meddling become a new normal. Bridger Falls is going feral with excitement. It’s chaos, hilarious, and it might just be true love.

Because somewhere between broken engines and broken sleep schedules, Poppy starts to see it.
This man isn’t here out of pity or convenience. He’s here because he chooses her.

Everyone else saw it first. It was never just friendship. Never just roommates with accidental kids involved.

It was always you.

Azzie Drauch:  A Thread of Deception in the Shadows

When Persephone went missing just hours from when Hades was going to propose to her, Hades immediately believed Alexandros, the tyrant leader of the demigod group Ethenos behind her kidnapping.

Who else but the man behind every favored mortal's disappearance for the last four years? He’d already targeted Persephone more than once, but as the Divine Detective Agency begins to investigate the kidnapping of the Goddess of Spring, things aren’t adding up. Magical signatures strong enough to distort security cameras and magic stronger than most demigods have, and Alexandros not being seen since his attack in Athens during the wintertime…

 Which begged the question, which god kidnapped Persephone, or who had gifted someone a relic strong enough to imitate a god's magic?

As more clues are revealed, Hades, with the Goddess of witchcraft, Hecate, tracks down Persephone’s kidnapper and rescue the goddess of spring from her kidnapper's clutches; they realize how far the seeds of discontent sown by Alexandros have spread, and the King of the Dead will stop at nothing for retribution against the god or gods responsible.

Adrianne
I’m trapped in a place I don’t recognize.

Taken, right between the min entrée and dessert at my sister’s wedding.

They keep calling me by her name. Calling me a princess. That word was as foreign to me as the place I was now looked up in.

There’s a lazy slur in their speech when. Elongated and overly pronounced Rs let me know my captors are not American.

“Nasdrovie,” I hear them say throughout the night until the darkness swallows them and their foreign accents. I don’t let it swallow me, though.

The Russian Monarch is a full-length, interconnected stand-alone romance novel with open door steamy scenes and a guaranteed HEA, written in dual POV.

June,

I've loved Marcus Miller for as long as I can remember-
My best friend's older brother.
Grumpy, emotionally unavailable, and quite possibly the most devastatingly handsome man alive.
The problem? I don't think he even noticed I existed.
And when he finally did¿
I'm pretty sure he fell in hate with me.
He flinched when I got too close. He scowled when I smiled.
But I saw it-the way his eyes darkened when I laughed.
He could deny it all he wanted, but I wasn't the only one falling.

MARCUS

To the world, I was the perfect man-
Powerful. Wealthy. Desired. Untouchable.
But I was a man made of scars.
Touch repulsed me. Emotion unnerved me.
I'd built walls no one could break-until her.
One touch from her, and everything shattered.
She made me feel alive. That terrified me.
I didn't want to need her. I didn't want to crave her.
But I did. And I hated it.


I hated the way she slipped under my skin.
I hated the way she made me want things I couldn't afford to feel.
Most of all, I hated that I didn't hate her at all.

Because once you've touched heaven, it's impossible to pretend you're fine in hell

 Nerissa never believed the sea was listening—
until her voice awakened an ancient kingdom buried beneath the waves.

Taken to the Drowned Kingdom, she becomes bound to Eryx, the Tide Prince raised to rule through sacrifice and silence. His mother, the Sea Queen, welcomes Nerissa with a smile… and sharpens the knife behind her back. To the court, Nerissa isn’t a woman—she’s a weapon powerful enough to command storms.

What begins as captivity turns into forbidden love.
Then the Sea Queen makes her ultimatum.

To protect Nerissa’s family, Eryx betrays her—publicly and devastatingly.

Except it was never cruelty.
It was sacrifice.

Now Nerissa must decide whether a love that once broke her is worth fighting for… and whether a kingdom built on blood deserves to survive her song.

He only sees him once a year—at a masquerade where names are forbidden and masks never come off.

Decades ago, Aurelio fell under the spell of a masked lover at the infamous Starlit Masquerade, a sensual evening where the rules of propriety seem to bend. Their nights were wild, unforgettable, and entirely anonymous—just how the enchanted Valentine’s ball was designed to be. Since then, Aurelio has returned year after year, aching for another night in the arms of the Fae who left him breathless.

But this year, something shifts.

Enter Myles Anthysius—Atlantis’s Secretary of the Sovereign and everything Aurelio never knew he wanted: poised, kind, disarmingly charming. As Myles begins to chip away at the walls around his heart, Aurelio must face a choice between an untouchable fantasy and the very real, very unmasked male who sees him for who he is.

Will he cling to the past, or finally allow himself to be known?

Set in the world of The Heir of Atlantis, Unmasking Aurelio is a spicy MM romantasy novella filled with longing glances, spicy encounters, and the kind of love that dares to unmask itself. Perfect for Valentine’s Day and anyone who’s ever fallen for the one they thought they couldn’t have.

The embers have been lit. Now the rebellion must rise.

Kalithea returns to Varis scarred but unbroken—
a queen without a crown, wielding a power no longer willing to sleep. Peace is a fragile mirage, and every step toward control cuts deeper than the last.

Tensions flare between the men who now stand at her side—
princes sworn by honor, rogues bound by devotion, and those who have bled simply to keep her breathing. Loyalties shift. Tempers sharpen. And love begins to coil through the cracks she swore to keep sealed.

But when a ghost from her past steps out of ruin, her path becomes brutally clear:
she must march into enemy-held lands, free the cities that fell to darkness, and drag the architect of her suffering into the light.

With each stronghold reclaimed, her legend spreads—
But kings are watching. Monsters are moving.

And the world is beginning to choose sides.

As light stirs within the shadows that once consumed her, Kal must choose what kind of rebellion she is willing to lead…and what will rise from the ashes she is destined to leave behind.

She’s the one high he can’t stop chasing.  

She’s an addiction—one I thought I’d overcome. Then my band hires her as the PR manager and invites her on our first headlining tour. Two years ago I couldn’t have fathomed Loose Threads being big enough to sell out venues and have fans lining up around the building. Sounds like bliss, right? Wrong. Not when I’m sharing a bus with the one person who never really left my system. Sixteen weeks of gigs and groupies should be enough to keep me distracted. But avoiding her is impossible when she’s everywhere. Her laugh lingers, her smile lights up the dark corners of my soul, and the memory of her touch still haunts me. Sneaking into her hotel room was supposed to curb my cravings, but one hit of her and I’m hooked all over again. Chasing the high that makes me feel most alive amid the loneliness of the road.  

When the walls I’ve built start to crumble around me, Ellie’s there to pick up the pieces. Letting her in might save me…or it could destroy us both.
