Review Policy

We review books of all genres, fiction and non-fiction, that are considered clean reads—no explicit sex, no excessive profanity, no excessive violence and no paranormal themes, such as ghosts, the occult, or vampires. Please do not solicit us if your book has any of the content we just mentioned. We receive many requests, and it is clear to us when an author or publicist has not read our review policy.

Although we prefer clean reads, we do not review Christian non-fiction or Christian fiction whose overall theme is religiously inclined. If you are uncertain if your book fits this description, please send us a synopsis of the book, and we will determine if it is a book we wish to review.

We reserve the right to accept or decline books for review, even after it has been received if it contains the content we mention above. Please note all our reviews are an honest critique of your book. We read the whole book and  take the time to note character, setting and plot development. We aim to write a well-balanced review that states our view and opinion of it. We never sell any books we receive for review, however, we may host a giveaway, or pass them on to friends.

We only accept hard copies: galleys and ARCs are fine, no pdf files. We are not accepting e-books at this time. Self-published authors are welcome. Please do not send your book if it has not been professionally edited or proofread. We do not read manuscripts.

You will notice that we rate the books we review, however, this rating is not an indication of whether the book is poorly or well-written or if it's a good or a bad read. It is simply to guide readers who are seeking clean books to read. You will see a letter and perhaps a note at the end of the review or next to the book title for reviews written before November 2011. The letters reflect the subjects being rated:

C = clean

S = sex

V = violence

P = profanity

PA = paranormal

For example: A book may be rated as (P mild) for a few vulgar words.
