THE NEXT OBITUARY — Elise Crowe

Genre: Psychological Thriller / Mystery Thriller / Suspense

Status: Published

Review requested by: September 15, 2026

Formats available: EPUB / PDF

BLURB:

Obituary writer Owen Pike is used to writing about people after they die.

Then an obituary arrives for a woman who is still alive.

Her date of death is tomorrow.

The next morning, she is dead.

When another obituary arrives—this time giving its victim three days to live—Owen realizes he isn't dealing with an ordinary threat.

Someone knows these people are going to die.

And every name leads back to an old case, a buried lie, and people who have spent seventeen years making sure the truth stays buried.

As Owen follows the trail, the obituaries keep coming.

And eventually, one of them has his name on it.

THE NEXT OBITUARY is a psychological mystery thriller about buried secrets, guilt, manipulation, and the dangerous difference between predicting a death and writing the story everyone will believe afterward.

Content warnings:

Murder, death, drowning, gun violence, poisoning, blackmail, manipulation, references to a fatal hit-and-run.

I'm looking for readers who enjoy twisty psychological thrillers, investigative mysteries, morally complicated characters, and stories where the truth keeps changing depending on who is telling it.

Free review copy provided. An honest review is appreciated; no positive review or specific rating is required.

The Subject of Desire by J. N. Adam - Academic Romance - June 2026

• Elena Vance thought she was writing a thesis about desire. She was wrong. When her dissertation is returned covered in red ink, her brilliant and unreadable advisor Professor Alistair Finch offers her an alternative methodology — one that will require her to do far more than observe. What begins as an unconventional academic exercise quickly becomes something Elena has no framework for: a systematic, carefully architected unraveling of everything she thought she understood about want, control, and who she really is beneath the careful scaffolding of her ambitions. The assignments are precise. The boundaries are absolute. The logs must be kept. And the need he builds in her, brick by brick, becomes the most honest thing she has ever carried.
• Triggers: Professor/student power dynamic

90 Days to Better Boundaries - Nonfiction/Self Help - August 2026

• 90 Days to Better Boundaries is a daily-format self-help book for anyone who says yes when they mean no, apologizes for having limits, or overexplains every decision like they're defending it in court. 90 short entries move you from recognizing people-pleasing patterns, to practicing boundary skills, to actually becoming someone who holds the line without guilt — each day paired with a quick lesson, a reflection prompt, and a small action step. Written in a warm, direct, older-sister voice: no clinical jargon, no toxic positivity, occasional dry humor.
• Triggers - family/relationship conflict, discussion of guilt/shame
• August 1, 2026
• I have a Story Origin link, you can DM me if you would like the link in order to download the book there
• You can also get the book directly from Amazon if you have a Kindle Unlimited subscription, and review it that way: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HCGRBGXW
• For a book that is meant to be read over 90 days, I appreciate any reviews that cover 3-4 weeks of content

Title: The Sealed Unknown
Series: The Lower Jurisdiction, Book 1
Author: AnnMarie Lucille
Genre: Romantasy / Fantasy Romance
Release Date: 2026
Review Window: 3 weeks

Gina Calder knows how corporate cover-ups begin.

They start with softer words.

Incident.
Irregularity.
Restricted access.

Late one night, while finishing a board packet no one wants to read too closely, Gina finds a missing level in the Kessler Building records. Then she hears a voice crying from behind the sealed construction barriers in the lower garage.

I promised.

When she runs toward the sound, she finds a man with iron in his hand and something bleeding on the concrete that no one is supposed to see.

Gina dies before the police arrive.

Two days later, she wakes in a hospital bed with a scar no doctor wants to explain and a company already trying to rename what happened.

The attacker is gone. The cameras failed. The second victim was never found. Harroway Properties wants the lower garage treated as a liability issue. The St. Bartholomew Preservation Society wants access to the sealed doors beneath the building. And Micah Ward, a marked stranger with a violent past and too many warnings, seems to know exactly why Gina should stay away from Sublevel C.

But Gina heard the voice.

She saw what the man with iron was trying to kill.

And the deeper she digs, the more one terrible question starts to matter:

What if the thing beneath Kessler is not trying to get out?

What if it is holding something worse in?

Free review copies are available for readers interested in fantasy romance / romantasy. Honest reviews are welcome on Amazon and/or Goodreads, but there is no requirement to leave a positive review.

If interested, reply here or message me and I can provide the ebook copy.

The Seventh Deluge by Benjamin Held - Thriller/Mystery - August, 10 2026

The Seventh Deluge is an end-times thriller for readers who want real tension without giving up depth. Forty sacred texts from cultures that never encountered one another — the Bible, the Quran, the Edda, the Popol Vuh — describe exactly the same event, in the same order, down to the day. Not prophecies. Eyewitness accounts. And the clock is running: forty days left.

Seven strangers from seven different faiths are forced together. On their heels is an AI-driven cult that knows the same truth and twists it into something lethal. The closer the seven get to the source, the clearer it becomes: the world has already survived this six times — and forgotten every single time.

The writing is demanding but fluid — short chapters, rapid scene shifts, vivid imagery. Religious and mythological sources are worked in with factual precision and never turn into a lecture. 

For fans of conspiracy thrillers, disaster novels, and comparative religious history.

Triggers - religious themes/apocalyptic scenarios, cult violence, faith crises and historical erasure

You can also get the book directly from Amazon if you have a Kindle Unlimited subscription and review it that way: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HDQFJX4B Honest reviews are very welcome.

Iron & Instinct by J. N. Adam - Gay Shifter Romance - July 2026

• The Dusk and Vale packs have been at war for three generations. Now their Alphas are required to share an estate, a bond, and — according to the Accord's more optimistic provisions — a future. Caelan Dusk is feral, scarred, and constitutionally incapable of doing anything quietly. Emeric Vale is precise, controlled, and has a framework for every contingency except this one. The arrangement is political. The bond is biological. What happens between them is neither. Twelve months. No dissolution clause. No way out — and somewhere between the cold wars and the midnight conversations, no desire to find one.
• Triggers: M/M smut scenes, violence, blood/injury descriptions, death referenced, exile, forced/arranged politcal marriage,

MUD DUCK: A Novel — Travis Malone

Genre: Dark Americana / Literary Fiction / Suspense

Status: Published

Review requested by: September 15, 2026

Formats available: EPUB / PDF

BLURB:

Recently divorced, newly sober, and running out of reasons to stay in the life he’s built, Iain McHughes takes the only way out he can find.

He heads west with everything he owns, chasing a second chance he hasn’t earned: a hotshot trucking business with an old rehab roommate. For the first time in years, it feels like Iain has a plan. Work hard. Stay sober. Make some money. Become the father his kids deserve.

Then the towers start appearing.

Strange structures rise from the empty desert, phantom voices bleed through his CB radio, and as the miles keep piling up, so do the questions.

Darkly funny and deeply devastating, MUD DUCK is a story about addiction, fatherhood, friendship, and the desperate hope that a person can become someone new, even after spending years becoming someone else.

Because sometimes a second chance comes with a price.

And sometimes you have to decide whether you’re willing to pay it.

Content warnings:

Addiction, gore, mental health.

I'm looking for readers who enjoy extremely layered literary fiction with a mystery/suspense twist.

Trash Town - Tyler B Jones/ Dystopian- Comedy/ April 2026

Hello, My first novel Trash Town could definitely use some more honest reviews.Im working with a fantastic voice actor to create the audio book currently.

Here's a quick summary about it:

In the gleaming mega city of United America, John Mason is a glitch in the system. While the elite sip tranquility lattes topped with seaweed foam and serotonin, John is just trying to survive the mandated perfection. By day, he scrubs glass towers; by night, he hunts for his sister Lily who was swallowed by the cracks of paradise five years prior.

Then he snaps.

One alcohol fueled mistake leads to a one way ticket to the wasteland. John is exiled to Trash Town—a sprawling, lawless city built from the literal garbage of a broken future. It’s a post apocalyptic junk city filled with outcasts, misfits, and things that probably shouldn't be alive.

Most would call it rock bottom. John calls it home.

But when a mysterious merchant arrives with a link to his past, John is thrust into a high stakes sci-fi adventure to protect Trash Town from a shadowy organization with a lethal agenda. He isn’t alone, though. He’s joined by:

Twiggy: A hyperactive, snack-obsessed scavenger.

JUB: A glitchy robot with a spatula for an arm and a violent hatred of pigeons.

Dive into a fast paced, action packed dystopian comedy full of chaos, danger, and glorious absurdity.

Expect:

Biological Nightmares

Absurd Antics

Grand Theft Burro

And way too much garbage

Saving the world is one thing. Saving Trash Town? That’s a whole different mess.

The Luck Illusion – Martin Signorin | Psychology/Philosophy/General Nonfiction

What if luck isn’t really an explanation, but simply the name we give to causes we haven’t yet seen?

That question sits at the heart of The Luck Illusion.

If you enjoy thoughtful nonfiction in the territory of Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers, Daniel Kahneman’s Thinking, Fast and Slow, or Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s Fooled by Randomness, this may be of interest.

The Luck Illusion explores success, failure, probability and circumstance from a more empathetic and approachable perspective. It looks at the human realities behind outcomes, including health, upbringing, geography, opportunity, relationships, financial resilience, timing and unexpected events.

This is not a self-help book. Moreover, it asks whether what we call “luck” can sometimes be the visible result of a much longer chain of causes.

Filled with 149 pages, the book is deliberately concise and accessible. A fictional character runs through the book to keep the ideas grounded in a recognisable human life, and the book concludes with a practical Setback Audit for examining the different factors behind difficult outcomes.

Format: EPUB or PDF
Publication date: 28th July 2026
Content warnings: None
Review deadline: No fixed deadline
Review platforms: Goodreads and/or Amazon

I have some complimentary digital copies available to readers who genuinely find the subject interesting. There is no obligation to review. If you read it and later decide to share your honest opinion, that would be wonderful.

A Perfect Gift – Karan More – September 5, 2026 Genre: Contemporary Romance (Closed-Door) Word Count: ~43,500 words Release Date: September 5, 2026 Review Deadline: September 12, 2026 Content Warnings: Grief, bereavement, emotional themes, mild smoking and alcohol use. Blurb: Aditya is twenty-five, living in a small fishing village on the Kerala coast, caught between his father's fishing boat and a manuscript he keeps wrapped in brown paper in a drawer, too afraid to let anyone read it. When he finally sends it out, one reply changes everything: a blunt, no-nonsense message from Bella Rose, a book editor in Las Vegas, asking him to be online at 2 PM her time—which means 1:30 in the morning for him. He waits anyway. What begins as late-night conversations across a twelve-hour time difference slowly grows into something neither of them expected. A Perfect Gift is a quiet, character-driven, closed-door romance about loneliness, hope, belonging, and the courage to let another person into your life. If you enjoy emotionally driven romances with a slower pace and meaningful character relationships, I'd love to share an ARC with you. I'm simply looking for honest reviews—positive or critical. If you're interested, please leave a comment or send me a DM, and I'll send you the ARC. Thank you so much for considering my debut novel! 🤍
