CP / Beta Readers for 'The Unsainted'

[Racquel Kechagias]

Hey! I'm looking for a few CP / Beta-readers for my Contemporary Fantasy with romance (18+) novel 'The Unsainted' which currently sits at 112k (complete)

Query Letter/Blurb When twenty-two year old Valerie Casadora is compelled to kill her partner. With blood fresh on her hands, she swears revenge on Martius, the ancient vampire lord responsible. With her new promotion in the ranks of the Institute, this path threatens the life and soul of not only Valerie but her supervisor. Jack Carter has secretly loved Valerie for over a decade, ever since the day she entered into his sparring ring and knocked him flat. Even his electrical powers, which burn through him and everything around him, aren’t enough to stop Valerie from throwing herself into her self-harming cycle of violence and vampire hunting. As Martius closes in on Valerie, Jack’s power and darkening desires threaten to tear their world apart with truths that neither of them dare to acknowledge. Valerie must stop Martius raising the other six death gods and starting an apocalypse filled with horrors beyond imagination. But when grief and vengeance collide with her need to protect Jack from the gruesome fate Martius promises in every nightmare, will all hope be lost? Or will the dormant cosmic power of the Ourianos of her bloodline save them all? Comps:

• Buffy
• Supernatural
• Ninth House
• Serpent and the wings of night
• The Void

This was my 2025 RevPit novel (shortlisted but not a winner unfortunately).

What I'm looking for:

- general feedback

- pacing, character arcs and flow (what's working and what's not)

- does it fit the genre and meet the expectations (as this was the biggest feedback the editor I subbed to for RevPit had to make - can discuss this further at length later on)

 

I'm hoping for someone who can give me quick turn around feedback (by the end of May) as I wish to begin querying in August.

I'd also love to read your stories too! So if you're interested please let me know. You can contact me on racquelk...@gmail.com or on X at @aliteraryfix P.S. I've also attached some posters that I made for #posterpit a few weeks ago if you're interested :)
