What Readers are Saying About Hidden Gems

I love being an ARC reader for Hidden Gems! You get a variety of different genres and authors. And you can pick and choose which books you want to read. And I love that they email you to remind you the book has been published. If I were reviewing them I’d give them 5 stars!

I do read arc for several authors but I have come to prefer Hidden Gems. I am able to choose only the titles that interest me. HG keeps track once it goes live and will auto find my review for me as well. It makes the process easier and less stressful. Good job!
