Please note: At this time I will not be accepting any and all review/promo requests from authors. All messages sent will be ignored.

I love to read and anything I read usually becomes a review. As of 2014, I am accepting not accepting any indie or self-published ones (there are exceptions to authors I know). It's a personal choice; please don't ask me about it.

Here's just some info that you may need to know before contacting.

Genres I Read

YA ONLY
- Sci -Fi
- Fantasy/Paranormal
- Teen Fiction
- Action
- Dystopian
- Realistic
- Adventure
- Mythology

I don't accept self-help books or books with major elements of religion.

Review Info

Whether I like a book or not, is irrelevant to what goes on the review.

• Cover picture
• Goodreads synopsis
• Format, publisher, and publication date
• Links to Goodreads, Amazon, B&N, Chapters Indigo and TBD
• A rating on a 1-5 "treble-clef" scale
• A deep and more than 3 paragraph review.

I review everything. Even if it's a DNF. Asking for a review means asking for honesty. I do not sugarcoat nor am I well practiced in the art of bashing books. I don't receive any compensation for my reviews.
I do not tolerate any negative response to my reviews. If such a thing happens, you will be blocked. End of story.

Note: I am an unapologetic reviewer. I am not known to be "overly nice" about what I say. That being said, what I say is always backed up with evidence. I also draw speculations on whether or not I'll like the book very early on. It's a personal style. If I don't like it, I will usually DNF. Life is too short to read bad books. If this doesn't work for you, please don't send me a request.

Book Form

I accept both physical and eForms. I prefer physical copies for a more detailed review, but for a quicker one, send me an eBook.
I don't "return" review copies. If you ask for it back, it ain't happening. Postage to and from Canada is expensive. Sending a physical review copy is on the author.

FTC disclaimer:  

All books reviewed on Out of Time are purchased by me, borrowed, or received from authors/publishers in exchange for an honest review. I do not receive any monetary compensation for any of my reviews.
