Turn-Around Time on Reviews:
Notify me of a date you need the review complete by and I will advise if I am able to work that into my schedule. I can generally have a book read within a couple days to a week. However, if my schedule is full and it generally is, it could take up to 10 - 12 weeks or longer. I will advise if we can accommodate your time schedule.   If the book is an ARC – please advise me ASAP so it can be reviewed on or before your release date if possible. When reviewing your book, I will post all reviews that I rate 3 or above automatically, anything below I can contact you (if you wish) prior to posting the review,(though if I don't rate with at least a 3 I generally don't write a review) even if I do not like the story, I will state the reason in an unbiased manner. I will not and do not respond to negative comments posted to reviews and welcome fans posting their comments to my website. However, I do reserve the right to remove any posts that are vulgar, demeaning or construed as being rude. I will not lie in my reviews, for any reason, so please do not ask me to, I will not be swayed on this! I reserve the right to refuse reviewing a book for any reason and are under no obligation to review a book. If I agree to review, I will do everything I can to review the book. If for some reason my schedule changes I will notify you as soon as possible to reschedule for a later date or advise if I cannot do the review. I apologize in advance if this is the case. Books shipped to me for review will not be returned and you agree that the book(s) is/are my property. If during shipment the book becomes damaged, I am not responsible for the book. I will take a photo of the damage and contact you for a replacement.
