I am looking for 6-8 BETA readers for my novel Vitals of Decetpion [VOD]. The book does come with a TW for medical abuse, as this is a primary theme of the novel. It's not exceptionally graphic, but it is a dark mystery thriller.
Vitals of Deception is a tense thriller where medicine becomes a mask for something far more dangerous.
When Charlotte goes undercover inside an elite medical network, routine checkups twist into something she can’t name. Every test feels loaded. Every smile rehearsed.
Behind sterile gloves and polished corridors, betrayals run deeper than she imagined—and even her own memories may not be safe.
Some vitals can’t be faked. Some truths refuse to stay buried.
I am partway through my 3rd draft, so it's not 'perfect' yet, but very much at the stage I need other people who haven't read it 8+ tiems ot read it and give feedback. Primarily looking for feedback regarding what makes sense and what doesn't make sense. Grammar is an added bonus. Timeline is end of Feb, but flexible. Not able to do a direct swap at this particular moment, but will try to be active in the Reddit for shorter works to BETA read for.
