I've been using Book Bounty since it first launched, and it has been an absolute blessing for my books. It's my go-to site now for helping me get my books over their first 100 reviews. The customer support has been industry-leading by far, especially compared to some of the other sites like this that are on the market. I would highly recommend if you're in the self-publishing space.

Book Bounty is wonderful! It's a rare gem to find a great working site and superb Customer Service. As a newbie Author, it's important we have a safe and super place to get Book Reviews for our Kids Coloring Books--or any book! ** Unfortunately, we have to change the 5 star to a 1 star because they changed to a horrible fascist pmt system that will greatly physically harm people, esp women and children.

As a young-ish Latina, I experienced full-force the prejudice and racism of the Trumpie-infested area in which Book Bounty is headquartered (Decatur, Mississippi). I am the author of three well-regarded mystery/suspense/thrillers. I took a week off from writing to write reviews on Book Bounty, reviewing 9 books I purchased from Amazon. If I do say so myself, they were positive, well-written, and thorough - certainly enough so that Amazon published them and those book writers derived the benefits. However, immediately after I posted my own bounties for the books I've written, Book Bounty began pulling back thousands of the points I had earned. I had spent 17 hours reading the three books and another 2.25 hours writing the reviews for which they denied me my earned points. Because their poorly-written "help" bots initially couldn't locate my clearly-posted reviews (Decatur, Mississippi is not known for the quality of their local school system) and, I strongly suspect, because they see me as an uppity Latina, they immediately pulled my earned points without warning, telling me it was on me to correct their ignorance. Once I'd done that, they begrudgingly restored my points, then blatantly suggested that I leave their membership, using my own unhappiness with their behavior as the excuse - before I received the reviews my earned bounty points had paid for.

Absolutely terrible. Not very many customers so there's never any free books to review to gain points to get reviews. They don't guarantee anything and advertise unlimited reviews but it's only 6/wk and your reviews go to other countries sites not US a lot of times. Tried them 1 month and outta 24 reviews only 4 landed on Amazon US and was complete waste of time and $

Book bounty used to be such an amazing company for getting real reader reviews, however this past month unfortunately it has just become a problem with people not reading your book and leaving fake or damaging reviews. Reported it to the company and all they can do is refund your points and the people who are doing the damage are left to continue so I’ve cancelled my subscription.
