Darkest Desires ARC Sign Up

Only the best of the best are members of the Mortes Ostium (Death’s Door) Society.

Once a year, serial killers from all over the world descend on Paris for a grand weekend of revelry to connect, reminisce, and compare their achievements of the year.

Some killers pride themselves on numbers, others on style, some are happy to meet up with friends. Killing can be a lonely business, but at the Serial Killer's Ball, you'll find you have more friends than you think, and that love can bloom in the most unexpected places.

Eleven authors come together to bring you tales of love and blood in this serial killer romance series. Unleash your Darkest Desires and join us in January-June 2025.

Each ARC will be sent two weeks before the official release date, with reviews on Review Websites such as Goodreads, Bookbub, and Storygraph to be in by the release date, and reviews on Amazon to be in a week after the release.

This is for a written review, not just a star rating.

You'll also be sent a review form to share links of your review to be entered into a prize draw where you can win Amazon vouchers and paperbacks of the books you've reviewed.

Are you able to read and leave a written review within this window? 
*
Each book will contain potentially triggering content, especially gore. The authors have listed triggers to their book descriptions (Q13), but more may be added further down the line.

You'll be informed about all the specific triggers for each book before the release of the ARC and you're completely free to pull out of the ARC team if you know the content will upset you. You can also pick a different book in the season if that's the case.

By clicking "Agree" on this question you're acknowledging that you're willing to read books with potentially triggering content.

*
If your review is 3 stars or lower do you agree to wait until a week after the Amazon release to rate and review?

You will be taken off of the list from all future releases if you don't follow this.
*
If you are unable to finish by the deadline/continue reading, will you contact the author or Abigail Hunter to let them know?

This is will remove you from that specific ARC team, but not from the other books you've signed up for.
If you are unable to finish 3/5 books you have chosen for whatever reason you'll be removed from the Darkest Desires ARC team, for Seasons 1-3.
*
These are the books available for Season 1 of the Darkest Desires series.

Please choose five books from the list below. Choosing a book on this form does not guarantee that you'll get a place on that book's ARC team.
You're also welcome to just pick one or two books, it's up to you!

If you pick more than five your ARCs will be decided for you with no exchanges.

The info below is as follows:

ARC Send Date - Author Name - Book Title - Book Description - Predicted Book Length (might change) - Triggers (which may be added to.)
Would you like to take part in any social media events for the series and your chosen books?

(Images will be available in a shared Google Drive and Abigail/the author will send the link on each date.)

All the books I'm ARCing for = 5 posts spread over however long
Whole season = 10 posts 2 weeks apart for each option
