My book received a bad review, will you take it down?
All reviews are final. Providing a free book doesn’t guarantee a good review. Please read my lower ratings to make sure you can handle my criticisms before you submit your book.

I post my reviews here, Good Reads and I try to post them on Amazon.
Please read the FAQ before submitting a book for review!
