Angelic Impression
12 March 2020When it comes to sending my Darren Dash books for adults out to reviewers, I have a fairly long list which I work from, which I've been putting together over the last few years. (Always happy to add to it, so if anyone reading this contributes reviews to a site or blog or anywhere else, just give me a shout if you'd like to be kept in mind for my next release.) Because of the different genres that I work in, I don't reach out to every reviewer on every occasion -- for instance, if someone only reviews sci-fi, there's no point sending them a thriller.
One of the review sites on my list is Angelic Impression. They mostly review fantasy novels, so at first I wasn't going to send them my latest release, Molls Like It Hot, as it didn't seem like a natural fit. But in the end I did, and I'm very pleased I made that choice, as the reviewer really enjoyed the book and gave it a glowing review, noting in her summation:
"It was something a bit different to what I'm used to, something not fantasy for a change. But a welcome change, I'm glad I read it."
As a reader (and writer) I've always been happy to dance around between genres, tying myself to no one mast, trying out most things if they sound like they might be a good read. Most publishers don't like writers who mix up genres as much as I do. Most reviewers don't like it either. Indeed, I guess nor do most readers. So I was genuinely delighted and impressed when the Angelic Impression reviewer stepped outside of her comfort zone and granted Molls the benefit of the doubt.
