Actually there’s only one way to get your book reviewed, but now there are 101 places to get it reviewed, all on the Indie Reviewers List.
If you love reading and like to write about what you have read, why not sign up? It’s easy and you’ll get authors sending you their work, asking for your opinion.
The only way to get your book reviewed is to send a polite email to one or more of the reviewers listed on the Indie Reviewers List. You can of course pay for a review, but then what you get is an opinion that you paid for.
