Review Policy

Review Policy & Disclaimer:

Thank you for considering The Alternative Kryptonite to read and review your novels! I do review indie and self-published books.

Reviews Include: Title, author, cover art, link to Goodreads page, summary from Goodreads, my thoughts on the book, and a rating. I will also link to Amazon/Barnes & Noble if requested.

I do use a "5 star" rating system. I will state what I liked about the book and if so, what I did not like about the book. At the end I will give a 1-5 star rating (does include decimal points: for example 4.5). I will always be honest in my reviews and I do not guarantee a positive rating and review. Though, all of my reviews will be fair and honest.

Time: I will try to read and review ARCs before their release date. If there is a time preference, please specify.
