I'm looking for beta readers for my completed urban fantasy novel, Shadow Pine Lodge.
The Pitch: Vera is a 300-year-old vampire who has gotten very good at not being known. She works in a library basement, keeps careful distances, and has built a life that functions as long as nobody looks too closely. Then her concealment charm breaks at a supernatural sanctuary in the woods, and everything she's managed for three centuries stops being manageable at once, including how she feels about the woman she's been carefully not falling for. Her coworkers see everything. That's the problem.
The Book: 65,000 words - Character-driven urban fantasy with slow-burn romance - Found family, no chosen ones, real supernatural stakes -
Content warnings: violence, blood, sexual content, references to past trauma
What I'm Looking For: 3-5 readers who like character-focused speculative fiction with genuine emotional weight. You don't need beta reading experience — just honesty and 4 weeks to read. I'll send you a simple feedback form with specific questions. I'm looking for what worked, what didn't, and whether the story lands emotionally.
Interest? Comment below or DM me.
Happy to answer questions about the book first. Thanks!
