Review Policy

I read mostly YA books with a heavy emphasis on the paranormal/urban fantasy/fantasy genre. I also read historical fiction, realistic fiction and dystopian books. I will also read adult books if it interests me. Depending on what's going on in my life/job and how long a book is it could take me a day to 2 weeks to finish a book and I write my reviews right after I finish the book. I have a personal reading list and I read books that were published years ago and books published within the year we are in. For new release books, I may not read and review the book for awhile or I may read and review it immediately, unless of course the book is an ARC book and needs a review within a certain time frame.

My reviews are fair, honest and are my opinion and I will not apologize for anything I write. I write both positive and negative reviews. I am very passionate about books and it shows in my reviews. I almost never not finish reading a book but if I do, I will simply write that I did not finish it and give reasons why I abandoned it in my review. I also do not trash books or authors. I think that is very unprofessional.

 If you are an Author or Publisher and need a review quickly, I will alter my reading schedule to read and review your book. In these instances I will finish reading the book no matter what and the review will be written in a timely professional manner.
