Here are a few of the things the authors we’ve worked with have said about us:

I just wanted to write you a note to say THANK YOU!!!! Before I found Hidden Gems I was using Netgalley. I’d receive over 100 requests but be lucky if I saw 9 reviews in total even a month later. I decided to use you for my new release (a thriller) after hearing a bit of buzz about HG in my Facebook groups. There were around 75 requests and already 41 have posted on Amazon. In two days!!! I can’t believe it. You are now my go-to for all my books. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for finally being a reliable service for honest reviews. Best promo money I’ve ever spent.

– Ketley Allison, To Have and to Hold

These wrap-ups and the reviews themselves have been so helpful in getting each subsequent book more and more to-market (while defining my voice in that market), and the sheer volume of reviews have helped me stand out a lot for a new author – all things I know I couldn’t have done in just 2 months without HG. This service has been the best use of marketing funds, hands down!

– Piper Lennox, The Road To You

I’ve tried a lot of different ways to get reviews for my authors, but this was my first time using Hidden Gems and I’m thrilled with your service. The return rate is far better than most others these days, including NetGalley, and I’ll be recommending you guys to all my clients.

– Jane Ryder, Ryder Author Resources

Hidden Gems is, in fact, no longer a hidden gem as far as I am concerned.  The  thoughtful response to my initial inquiry re my admittedly quirky little book  was enough to convince me that everything I had heard about the value this site provides to authors was true.  And the reviews were terrific — a wide variety of well-expressed opinions and even a most helpful suggestion about how to fix a problem that had escaped my notice!  HG will now be an integral part of promoting my future titles. Thank you!

– James W. Gaynor, Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice in 61 Haiku

Thanks so much for this great service. I’m thrilled with all the reviews that came in – 89 of 100 in less than two weeks! And good ones, too – meaning that many of the reviewers took time to consider what made my book stand out, even when they were critical. I’m very impressed with this service and definitely plan to use it again in the future.

– Rebecca Hunter, One More Night

I just wanted to say thank you so much for your program! I have had very limited success with NetGalley and other ARC programs, but your readers are so lovely and very responsive! An author friend recommended you, and I’m so glad she did. I even got an e-mail from one of your reviewers saying how much she enjoyed reading my book! I’m up to 26 reviews in a couple of days, and I’m pretty sure most of them are from you guys.

– Kirsty McManus, Perfume Therapy

Hidden Gems ARC service is the best promotion you can get short of a Bookbub. They’re expensive but they’re worth it. A must-have for any serious novel launch.

– NYT and USA Today Bestseller Krista Lakes

Your ARC service blew me away. You have a treasure there – readers who read and actually post their reviews. Do not know of another place that does this so well. Keep up the good work.

– Edita A. Petrick, Ribbons of Death

I’m very happy I found Hidden Gems. It is the most professional and effective ARC service out there.

– Alix Nichols, Playing With Fire

Thank you very much! I have used ARC services before in the past and 99% of them have been a let-down, this includes the ridiculously expensive NetGalley and quite a few more that get pushed by authors on popular writing forums. It was a breath of fresh air to have a service deliver on their promise, and to have genuine, honest feedback from regular people. I will definitely be using Hidden Gems in the future and wish you the best of luck.

– Greg Dragon, The Judas Cypher

Thanks so much! I have been so impressed with this service. I’ve tried a lot of different review programs, and this one outperformed the others by leaps and bounds. I will definitely be using Hidden Gems for all my new releases!

– Ellery A. Kane

I have been recommending Hidden Gems to other authors for a while: I have used it 3 times and have found it the best ARC program among several. It’s very well organized and you are able to leave a message so that readers who might dislike or be disturbed by an aspect of your book don’t pick it out. The reviews start to come in 2 or 3 days after booking, and they keep on coming. I signed up for 30 and got 26 this last time round! Afterwards you’re sent the extra comments that the readers made about the book. I find it the best way to give a start to a book.

– L.K. Moore, Blame the Devil

I just wanted to thank you again for such a fantastic service! I’m incredibly happy with the results and it was such a great deal for the fantastic ARC reviews and reader insight. I even got a few very sweet fan letters from some of the reviewers. Their attention to detail is fantastic–they have eagle eyes! They spotted stuff even my 40 years of industry experience copy-editor didn’t! Thank you so much again, I have told all my author friends. Will be singing your praises in all my groups as well.

– Skylar Hill

If you don’t have an ARC team of your own, HG is the way to go, no question about it. Easy peasy to do, and a real value for your money.

– Erin Wright

Hidden Gems ARC review program was a success for me. I had a great response rate. I got excellent feedback about the book, and I plan on using you guys again in the near future. I see it as a great tool to assess how much the readers like the writing, and where I need to improve. The results were better than I expected them to be. Thank you Hidden Gems!

– Eveline Hart

Your group of reviewers are truly amazing people! I am so glad that I had the pleasure of working with you all. I will be using your services in the future! I have never received such great feedback related to my books. You guys nailed it!! I will be using you in the future. You made this one of the easiest ARC programs!!
