Reviewing


Review Policy

The Nocturnal Readers' Book Review Policy

Although I'm completely new, there will be a day (I hope) when I'll be asked to review books by authors and I welcome and appreciate the opportunity to do so. I enjoy reading Young Adult (YA), New Adult (NA), Adult, Women’s Fiction, Vampire reads, cookbooks, Children's books, Literary Fiction, mystery/thrillers, dystopian fiction, Paranormal, Romance, Fantasy, and Goth (which is something new to me). Again, thank you for considering me as a reviewer. I accept both traditional books and digital ebooks (via Kindle); whichever you prefer and is easiest for you. 

A few more details:

  • The only genres that I will not consider for review are: inspirational, historical non/fiction, western, overtly religious, science fiction, sports, and self-help.
  • I prefer not to review series' books out of order.
  • Review turnaround time is typically two to four weeks from receipt of the book unless a specific date is requested.
  • My reviews are honest and informative and include quotes from the text. Also, books are rated on a scale of 1 to 5.  If available, author and/or publisher websites are linked in the review.
  • I also may post my reviews on Goodreads as The Nocturnal Review (because somebody already took TNReader *pouts).
  • I will not sell ARC's nor will I share them with personal family or friends unless otherwise stated by you, the author.
  • I’d love to host author interviews or book giveaways in conjunction with reviews.
