Our mission is to help you receive advance reader copies (a.k.a. galleys) from publishers and authors in exchange for honest reviews. BookSirens gives you access to potentially hundreds of free book ARCs and helps you get ARCs in other ways. Naturally, participating in an ARC book giveaway and reviewing books for publishers / authors is a time commitment, so it is important you find a book you are likely to enjoy.

We have designed our catalog with that in mind, making it easy to search, navigate, and find hidden gems in your favorite genres. By signing up to become a book reviewer, you will also receive a weekly newsletter with handpicked ARCs in the genres you crave!

Detective is a broad genre. You can fine-tune your search by searching for sub genres like Women Sleuths, Police Procedural, Amateur Sleuths, Detective Romance, Private Eye, British Detective, and Scottish Detective.

If you think this is pretty cool, support us by spreading the word!
