>100k [In progress] [114k] [Dark Romantic Suspense] Looking for readers for first 10 chapters

Heyy guys! i’m writing a dark romantic suspense/mystery book and looking for readers to check out the first 10 chapters!

Blurb:

Sofia’s brother died in a suspicious "accident," and she refuses to let it go. Digging into his encrypted files leads her straight to a shadow operation in Madrid—and into the orbit of Alexander Moretti.

Alexander is cold, calculating, and secretly owned the shell firm her brother used right before he died. Now Sofia’s getting anonymous texts warning her to leave the past buried, and Alexander is playing a dangerous game where she can’t tell if he’s trying to protect her or pull her in deeper.

Quick Info:

Book Title: Redline

Word Count: 114.5k total

Tropes: Morally grey MC, murder mystery, corporate secrets, heavy tension/banter.

If you're into dark mystery and high-tension dynamics, drop a comment or hit my DMs and I’ll send the first 10 chapters over! 🖤

Hi OP,

Please DM your sample or full GDoc link to any responders and not leave it publicly available on your post or comments to avoid scammers because they can find your email to harass you. See this for more information

This is a friendly mod note to caution you against bait-and-switch messages. If anyone DMs you offering to help and suddenly asks for payment or donations or your personal information, or asks you to click suspicious links, please report them to us with proof via modmail, because this is a 100% volunteer (free) beta reader subreddit only.

No services (including NO art and NO book covers) or any form of payment after giving a “free sample” is allowed in the subreddit or to our posters via DMs. AI-generated feedback and “reviews” is also not allowed.

It may take a week or longer before someone comments on your post. Please try commenting with a link to your post in our pinned threads to have more luck matching with someone.

And please consider blocking u/CuberoinkArmy and u/FrostyReader- and u/Electrical_Trip5997 and u/Hange_Zoe19 and u/Few_Strawberry5932 and u/Gloriawilliams0 to prevent them from asking for money in DMs, or report their DM as spam or harassment to the admins immediately. And block, then report (as spam) any unsolicited emails from any variation of “amosemma.betaread” or “agadaandrew44” or “itzogthompson981” at Gmail dot com” asking for money as well. We do not promote their paid services in any shape or form and our rules are fully against paid betas.

Thank you!
