Beta read · ~52,000 words · small-town cozy whodunit (first in a new series) I'm looking for a reader who genuinely loves cozy mysteries to give me honest, in-the-moment feedback on Book 1 of a new series before it goes to publication. This is the most important thing: I need someone for whom cozies are a comfort read — you seek them out, you have favorites, and you know the rhythms of the genre. If cat cafés, harbor towns, and a fair-play puzzle are your happy place, and you can tell an author the truth kindly, this is for you. Please don't apply if cozy mysteries usually feel too tame, too low-stakes, or too gentle for you. That's a completely valid taste, but a reader who wants grit or a faster, darker story will give me feedback that pulls the book away from the readers it's actually for. I'd rather have one true cozy fan than ten willing generalists. The book Fresh Grounds (The Ninth Life Cat Café Mysteries, Book 1) is a warm small-town cozy mystery of approximately 59,000 words, told in first person across 22 chapters. When burned-out vet nurse Tess Byrne inherits her late aunt's shuttered storefront in the tired harbor town of Harlow Cove, she fills it with rescue cats, learns to pull a decent espresso, and reopens it as the town's first cat café — unofficially managed by Chowder, a plush blue-grey British Shorthair with opinions. Then the smiling "storefront consultant" who'd been circling half the street turns up dead in the alley out back, and the police like the one suspect Tess knows is innocent: her aunt's eighty-one-year-old best friend. So Tess starts asking questions — with a closed circle of neighbors, a fairly clued puzzle, and a cat who won't go near one particular customer. The vibe: Cozy and clean. A competent amateur sleuth, a slow-burn worth the wait, gentle humor, and a proper whodunit you can try to solve. No gore, no cliffhanger cruelty, and no harm ever comes to a cat. Just good coffee, kind hearts, and one very solvable murder. How the read works — the eReader You'll read in a private eReader website that works on a phone, tablet, or computer. It lets you react to lines, leave margin notes, suggest rewrites, and flag text you think should be removed. Those in-the-moment reactions are just as valuable to me as your final summary. 1. Open your personal link. I'll send you a link. Open it on whichever device you like to read on. There is nothing to install, no account to create, and no password. Your place in the book is remembered on that device. 2. Just read. Turn pages by swiping, tapping the sides of the screen, or using the arrow keys on a computer. There are also light and dark modes and a font-size setting. 3. React to any line. Select a bit of text by tapping and holding, then dragging on a phone or tablet, or by clicking and dragging on a computer. A menu will appear. From there, you can: Choose a reaction: happy, neutral, unhappy, or angry. Tap “+ Note” to leave a written comment. Tap “Rewrite” to suggest different wording. Tap “Delete” if you think the selected text should be cut. Tap the X to close the menu without making a change. Your feedback is saved through the reader, so you don't need to send your notes separately. 4. What to flag — the good and the bad. Please react whenever something creates a noticeable response. That might be: A line that made you smile. A moment that gave you a chill. A clue you think you spotted. A guess about the killer. A passage you had to reread. A continuity or logic concern. A sentence that felt awkward. A moment that pulled you out of the story. A line or scene you especially loved. A section you think should be rewritten or removed. Praise is genuinely useful too. I need to know what is working so I don't accidentally revise it away. 5. Use notes when you want to explain. A quick reaction is useful on its own, but add a note whenever you want to give context. Examples: “This made me laugh.” “I think this is a clue.” “Calling the killer here.” “Wait, wasn't the shop closed?” “I had to read this twice.” “This doesn't sound like Tess.” “I love this description.” “This feels slower than the scene before it.” 6. Don't overthink it. React in the moment and keep reading. Ten quick reactions or notes are often more useful than one long essay written afterward. 7. At the end, answer the questionnaire below. You don't need to memorize the questions while reading. Just annotate freely, then fill out the questionnaire when you finish. 8. If something doesn't update, refresh the page. The reader caches content so it can load quickly and work offline. If you don't see something update, pull down to refresh or reload the page. Logistics Timeline: Approximately two weeks from the date you begin. Length: Approximately 52,000 words. Format: Private browser-based eReader link. To apply, tell me: End-of-book questionnaire Overall, did you enjoy the book? Would you read Book 2, and what rating would you give it out of five? Did the story feel warm, cozy, and inviting? Were there any places where the tone or pacing lost you? Did the mystery play fair? When did you suspect the killer, and did the final solution satisfy you? Did Tess, Chowder, the cats, and the supporting cast feel believable and worth following into another book? Was anything confusing, inconsistent, slow, repetitive, or in need of rewriting? What are the three strongest things I should keep and the three weakest things I should fix before publication? Thank you for reading honestly — that's the whole job, and it's the most useful gift a writer can get.
