The website sounds great. $20 a month for 5 to 10 reviews. Just post up your manuscript and then let keen readers read it and write a review.
What they don't make clear is that on top of the subscription fee you have to earn snaps in order to request reviews of your book. Most books require you to buy them and only a very small number are free to read! You basically have to read others people books to earn credits to the request a review of your own.
I got 1 review and it was obviously a fake. All they did was copy by summary of the book and post 5 stars. I'm not surprised though as when you make people have to read others book before you can get yours reviewed and people don't have time then they will cheat the system.
When you ask customer support you get a very short and rude response from Mary. She does not want to keep customers.

This could be a great site if they just matched keen readers that want books for free in exchange for writing a review. But this isn't the case. I have cancelled subscription and will look for alternatives.

Hope you find this honest review helpful.

Tip for consumers:
Stay away.
