Books and Amazon Gift Card Giveaway!

As a new company devoted to helping indie authors, we're still looking to get our feet wet in the social media world. As we've said before, our blog and website are dedicated to helping writers grow their writing skills, from improving their style to having better grammar. Whether you plan to go the traditional route or become independent, or even if you just write for fun, we want to help you get better at it. We at Phantom Owl provide resources for writers everywhere to help them get published, and pursue all of their writing dreams.

To celebrate our recent launch and get the word out of our mission, we're giving away paperback copies of Lauryn April's A Different Kind, and Jen Naumann's Paranormal Keepers, plus a $10 Amazon gift card!

Indie Books Read: March

Here at Phantom Owl we support indie authors. We've asked book bloggers to share their indie book reviews with us, and at the beginning of every month, we're going to share with all of you the wonderful books they've suggested. We hope to not only bring attention to indie books, but also to promote the bloggers that are taking the time to read and review them.

The list includes books of all genres.

Books are arranged by rating.

Paranormal Keepers by Jen Naumann
April Books Rating - 5 Stars

"The very first chapter sent chills through me, and I couldn’t help but be sucked into Harper’s life." - April Books



  



The Devil's Cradle
KT Book Reviews Rating - 5 Stars
Goodreads Rating - 4.61

"If you like a thrilling story line and don't mind a little bit of dark content... I highly recommend this book. I LOVED it." - KT Book Reviews
Cup of Life by Juliana Haygert
Bookwyrming Thoughts Rating - 5 Stars
Goodreads Rating - 4.58

 "Micah's a fun character; I'm sort of wishing Destiny Gift and Soul Oath had more of Micah, and it's a lot of fun seeing things from the another corner." - Bookwyrming Thoughts





A Different Kind by Lauryn April
Pretty Little Pages Rating - 4 Stars
Goodreads Rating - 4.67

"A Different Kind is inviting and fast-paced. The story took off on the very first page, and I found myself engrossed immediately." - Pretty Little Pages


Shattered Veil by Tracy E. Banghart
Anatea's Bookshelf Rating - 4 Stars
Goodreads Rating - 4.55

 "Shattered Veil, after starting out not that great, turned out to be a really enjoyable read, and I'm happy to say that I'd recommend it to anyone and am happily waiting for the next book in The Diatous Wars." - Anatea's Bookshelf




The Rookie's Guide to Guns and Shooting by Tom McHale
SKJAM Reviews Rating - Unrated
Goodreads Rating - 3.62

"I’d recommend for future editions, if any, that the politics and “humor” be cut back considerably in favor of more solid information, which is what the book does best." - SKJAM Reviews

If you are a blogger who would like to contribute to the "Indie Books Read: April" post, you can do so HERE. Reviews submitted must be for books read in April of 2014, must be self-published or  published by an independent or small press (Like Phantom Owl), and must be added by the reviewer not the author. You can add a review for a book that we've already featured, but cannot submit the same review twice.
