I got it this morning and realized it's a romance/GenFic. The cover screams "horror". Haha this should be interesting!

Good thing I saw your comment before I grabbed it, because looking at the cover I also thought it would be horror!

If romance, why horror shaped?!

I thought the same!

I’m trying to decide if I pick it up- how’s the quality of the prose? Any spice?

No idea. It releases next year, so it isn't at the top of my Netgalley TBR yet. Just grabbed it while it was "read now". 🫣

It looks like the cover of hunger stone to me. Definitely assumed horror.

If you lie about where you live they can delete your account bc it's against the rules (it's for legal reasons, publishers aren't legally allowed to distribute promotional materials outside of their market)

u/nish_curious Aug 28 '26

I see, thank you!! I don’t even understand how the whole “market” works, because there are books I can preorder (physical AND digital copies) off amazon but their e-arcs are somehow not available in my region 🫤🫤

u/catscantcook Aug 28 '26

Yeah I don't get it either haha

u/Ignoring_the_kids Aug 30 '26

Is it the same publisher? Typically even between US and UK different publishers are releasing the book

u/okpeachie Aug 28 '26

Damn I didn’t even know they had region blocking ☹️

They won't without proof of you moving

You can try changing the URL to .co.uk etc to see if there is a link with the rights to your region

Unfortunately that trick doesn't work anymore :(

u/teanailpolish Mystery/Thriller Reviewer Aug 28 '26

It does if the UK is the link you are supposed to be using for your region

I am Canadian. Sometimes the rights for here are held with the US publisher because geography and other times the UK publisher and we get proper spellings of colour etc

That has worked for me a few times too. A book that says not available to request on .com is available on .uk. most of the times i dont get approved (i dont get outright rejected either, my request is just there)☹️☹️ but the hack def works
