Review Policy

UPDATE: I am NOT accepting requests at this time.

Hi. Thank you for stopping by and your interest in my content. I am happy to consider requests from authors and publishers in exchange for an honest review. However, please take a few minutes to read my review policy before reaching out.

My Review Style

I pride myself on being honest with my followers and my reviews are no exception. If you are uncomfortable with the possibility of receiving a negative review/critique, please do not send me a request. I will always respectfully share my opinion, but please remember that I am reviewing the book, not the author.

  • My review format: information about the book, my thoughts, and rating
  • I post reviews on my blog, Goodreads and boost them on Twitter and Instagram
  • There are times when I may not post a review on my blog. In those instances, a quick review can be found on Goodreads
  • I will cross-post on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc. if requested

Accepted Genres

  • Adult Fantasy
  • Contemporary Romance
  • Mystery/Thriller

I will not consider requests outside of those genres.

Accepted Format

I accept the following formats: ARC, finished copies, and audiobooks.

Your Request

  • Your request should include the following information: summary, cover, and publication date
  • I do not accept deadlines. I work full-time. I cannot commit to meeting deadlines
  • I reserve the right to not respond to requests that do not follow my policy or books that don’t interest me
  • If I accept your request, there is no guarantee that I will like your book. I reserve the right to not continue reading your book.

If you read my policy and are interested in working with me, please complete my contact form or email me directly at merlinereads@gmail.com.

If you would like to know more about me, feel free to take a look around the blog, and check out my Goodreads and Instagram accounts.
