Review Policy

Slaying Books is a blog dedicated to fiction book reviews, book discussions, giveaways, and other MISC bookish things. 

Most of the book reviews are for high fantasy, urban fantasy, contemporary romance, sci-fi, and dystopian books. I mainly stick to YA/NA – but will occasionally toss in a review for an exceptional adult book. I DO NOT read smut or erotica. 

Reviews are posted on my blog, Goodreads, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble, as well as promoted through Twitter and Facebook.

If you are interested in having me review your book please note that: 

  • I don’t accept payments for reviews. All reviews are based solely on my opinion and experience while reading. 
  • If a book garners only 1 star from me I will not post it on my blog. 
  • If I accept a book for review, and the review itself needs to be submitted before the publication date, I need at least 5 weeks notice. *I have a full time M-F, among other responsibilities, so blogging/reviewing is a side hobby. 
  • I prefer digital books (iBooks, PDF, Nook or Kindle) but I will also accept physical. I won’t accept non-edited ARCS. 
  • I don’t require finalized copies, but the editing process must have started before I review a book. All reviews are posted on this blog, as well as Goodreads, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon. I will also post links on @slayingbooks on Twitter and facebook.com/thebookslayer on Facebook. 
  • If there’s another site you would like your review posted on please let me know. 


When submitting requests YOU MUST send me: 

  • A summary of the book 
  • A picture of the book cover 
  • The link to Goodreads Publication Date (if applicable) 
  • If you are interested in having me review an audiobook please note that: 
    • I only listen to contemporary romance audiobooks.
Please understand that not every book can/will be accepted.

The Hurricane by R.J. Prescott

I’ve been on a contemporary romance kick lately, especially ones that feature protective-alpha-type guys. However, I can be pretty picky when it comes to those types of guys. I don’t like the super possessive, irrationally jealous, asinine kinds of guys who are always trying to control the girl. There was one of those kinds of guys in the book that I read before Hurricane, and he just completely turned me off from the story.  Hurricane’s Cormac O’Connell was a perfect example of the guys I like in this particular genre. He was a bit possessive, and could get easily worked up when other guys showed interest in Emily, but he didn’t go off the deep end running his mouth, getting into bullsh*t fights, and fooling around to try and hurt Emily (I absolutely HATE when that last bit happens in a book. I never fully forgive any MMC who does that crap.)  O’Connell was persistent though. And patient. And sweet. And I pretty much fell for him completely when I read this line: If you need ...

Hidden Huntress (The Malediction Trilogy #2) by Danielle L. Jensen

It’s been over a year since I first read Stolen Songbird. I had bought the whole trilogy with the intention of binging, but unfortunately, the first time I tried reading Hidden Huntress, I only got a couple chapters in before I lost interest and decided to take an indefinite break from the series. A few days ago I decided that I wanted to finally finish the Malediction trilogy, starting with a reread of book one. Stolen Songbird was just as captivating and enchanting as I remembered, so I started Hidden Huntress immediately so I could try and hold on to the overall excitement for the series. I remember putting Hidden Huntress aside the first time because the plot was taking too long to ramp up. Second time around, I was easily able to get past the first couple boring chapters and dive into the story. And even though I had already figured out one of the biggest reveals by the end of the Hidden Huntress, I really enjoyed the smaller reveals and the way the story twisted and turned. The r...

Lick (Stage Dive #1) by Kylie Scott

I devoured Lick in just one sitting which I’m sure may come as a surprise given that I’m only rating the book 2.5 stars. Lick is my first accidentally-got-married story. I happened across it while browsing the Kindle store, and after reading the first chapter that was pasted in the synopsis, I felt immediately compelled to buy the book. The book starts with Evelyn waking up with a massive hangover in the bathroom of her Vegas motel room. Her BFF Lauren is nowhere in sight, but a very attractive, attentive, sweet and complete mystery man is. Evelyn is shocked when she realizes she doesn’t remember a damn thing from the night before, including David (the sweet mystery guy) she married. I was pretty disappointed that this book didn’t have dual POV. After reading the first chapter, what I really wanted was to get inside the head of David. Evelyn was super drunk and not completely herself when she got married in Vegas — David however – was. I wanted desperately to know why some heartthrob ...
