What Readers are Saying About Hidden Gems

I love the easy way to complete the forms as they are.

I love being a part of this as I love to read and write about a new book. I read usually a book or two a day.

I always wanted to be an ARC reader but wasn’t able to find a way to do so with a good variety of authors/genres to choose from. Then I found Hidden Gems and their ARC program is awesome. They will offer a variety even in the same genre. You read a synopsis and then offer to be an ARC reader for that book, if chosen, you receive your copy and provide your review. It is a quick and seamless process, if you forget to submit a review, you will receive a reminder along with a link to submit your review info. I am very happy with Hidden Gems, and look forward to a successfully long ARC team process with them.

Author Spotlight Interview: Rachel Ellyn

Author Interviews | Hidden Gems | December 11, 2018

Writing successful children’s books is anything but child’s play – which is why we were excited to sit down with Rachel Ellyn, author of the popular Hamlet the Pig books, which have become especially popular as audio books. A self-described ‘publicists nightmare’, Rachel has written in multiple genres – from kid’s books to romance and thrillers – and continues to focus on telling stories in whatever format she feels suits them best. There are countless quotes about how everybody is several different ‘people’ throughout their lives – and that certainly seems to describe Rachel Ellyn. With degrees in finance and economics, Rachel’s first career was in the high-flying world of I.T. and financial process consulting – which took her all over the world, including an extended stint in London. Yet that life wasn’t true to what Rachel truly wanted – and the Rachel we talk to today seems the antithesis… Read More >

SNAPDRAGON: LOVE CONQUERS NONE BOOK #1
The rules are simple: unattached companionship, toe-curling sex and a clean break whenever it ends.  Either one can say the single word that will break it off: Snapdragon. 

But soul-deep sex is just the beginning. Michael becomes a fierce ally against Darby’s misogynist boss, a light to chase away the shadow of her notorious father, and the antidote to her loneliness. Choosing love over ambition is the one thing she said she’d never do. And Darby must fight hard not to fall in love. 

GET READY TO FALL IN LOVE WITH SNAPDRAGON
Deeply meaningful, desperately sexual, and inevitably bittersweet, Snapdragon deals with the quandary of choosing love over career, the weight of adulthood and the complexity of modern work-life. It rewrites the book on what a 21st century relationship should look like, and keeps the reader wondering how it will end.

Snapdragon is the ten-time-award-winning debut novel by Kilby Blades, with nods and wins for honors including the Publisher’s Weekly BookLife Prize for Fiction, the Holt Medallion, the Foreword Indie Award and the IPPY. Kilby was named Best Debut Author in the 2018 Emma Awards and has won more than twenty awards for her collected works.
