ARCs & Giveaways

We accept up to 8 reviews per month (about 2 reviews per week) of books in the following genre.
  • Mystery, Suspense, Thriller
  • Literary fiction
  • General fiction
  • The Classics
  • Young Adult, New Adult fiction
The reviews may be of books you have bought and read independently or of ARCs received from us.  We prefer reviews of books from traditional publishers and give precedence to reviews of ARCs received from us.

Our reviews rate the book on a scale of 1 to 5 stars with half-star ratings allowed.  We reserve the right to select which reviews we post on our blog.

Out of every 8 reviews we publish we draw a winner (ideally once every month) who will receive a $12 Amazon or Barnes & Noble gift card.

We also provide free ebooks (ARCs) for review from traditional publishers.  The only requirement to receive an ARC is that you provide a review within about 2 months with permission for us to post it on our blog and that you follow the blog using the "Follow by email" and "Members" tools on the right hand bar of the blog.

Please forward:
  1. Your reviews
  2. You ARC requests
by email to: mysteries.crime.thrillers@gmail.com
Please keep an eye on this page.  We keep adding new titles as they become available.


Review Guidelines


We ask for some in depth insights into the characters, the plot, the prose, and the world building in your review.  You generally start with a very brief gist of the story.  Then you follow that with how you felt about the characters, the plot, the writing and prose, the setting etc. in your own words.  Essentially we want to know how the characters, the writing, the setting, and the plots made you feel.  If you look at our blog, the reviews of "Tooth & Nail" by Ian Rankin and that of "I'll Never Let You Go" are excellent examples of reviews with good in depth analysis.

We also ask for a rating on a scale of 1 to 5 stars with half stars allowed.
