I've paid $100 for a bland, unengaging so-called pay-per-click ad on Facebook. No creativity at all. Just a few hashtags to "target sales". Problem 1: The ad shows the wrong cover art. The cover was updated on My Books on the CB site ages ago, but the wrong cover still shows up on some pages on the site and on this ad. Problem 2: The ad links to CB's site rather than my Amazon sales page. This is a no-no for driving sales. Too many clicks. Problem 3: The book's price is not shown correctly on CB's sales page for my book. Problem 4: As for PPC -- how is this ad pay-per-cIick? I can't see how many clicks I've gained, and I don't suppose I'll be given any money back if I only garner a few. I feel ripped off. This site used to be OK, but now it charges too much and misleads buyers. BUYER BEWARE.

I was automatically charged to renew without any notification alerting me and my PayPal account was charged $120. I responded to the email hello at cravebooks dot com that announced my subscription had been renewed. I requested cancellation. I couldn’t find a response for some reason. I Googled Cravebooks contact and found the email address info at cravebooks dot com and subsequently forwarded my original email request and added new information. This time I got a quick email acknowledgement that my email was received. Shubi responded quickly confirming that I will be issued a complete refund. I appreciate that. Although I have not gained any value from this membership, other authors might. I admit that I didn’t really put effort into trying to make this work. My assessment is that this service requires extra effort and time and possibly additional money in order to be effective.

Scam company avoid they take money no return on investment. They also will sell data to third partys or thats what I can only assume due to spam emails afterwards. Refuse to refund even after not responding to tickets during sale there is no point afterwards is there whencmy sale has ended. Avoid at all costs terrible company. If you want to advertise your book use other plaforms everyone on their site do nothing and waste your money. Terrible company of scammers.

I spent over £200 on promotions and some of the most expensive ones LitNuts and ebookfairs never even advertised my book online or in the newsletter that I paid for. I have raised two tickets one for each issue and it seems I am just being ignored. I have two more newsletters to go out later today we will see if they even do. I have lost complete faith in Cravebooks for its lack of support with this especially when spending a large amount on promotion and using them previously. If I am not refunded for the multiple promotions I didn't receive after paying money I will be contacting my bank to retrieve the money. It had also pretty much destroyed my promotion with the biggest newsletters not even bothering in sharing my book. I am extremely disappointed for anyone curious I spread my promotions over multiple days to get an idea which ones worked and which ones didn't. And I can honestly say after 12 sales for £200 its not even worth it and I cant even guarantee those sale were from the newsletters as I advertise on Facebook aggressively and generally have natural sales each month. A once good service ruined by poor service and scam newsletters they associate with. Update - As to the previous reviewer who mentioned spam as of 16th Feb my phone number has now been spoofed which i hold cravebooks responsible for as my email has been bombarded with spam and now my phone number is being spoofed. I highly suggest people avoid this website or at the bare minimum the sites they promote as at least one of them is selling your information.

I booked a $16 promo with E-reader Girl, run by Cravebooks. The webpage is what I'd consider poor quality, with ebooks in a wide variety of genres, many of them with poor quality, self-made covers. I sold only one copy of the book on sale; with other romance ebook promo newsletters I've had higher ROI for a lower or comparable fee. Worst of all, it's clear they sold my data. From the date I booked the promo, there's been a sharp increase in spam emails from book promotion scammers using AI pitches. Highly recommend you avoid this organization. Wish I'd done more research. Lesson learned! EDITED TO ADD: As you can see below, Shubhi, owner of CraveBooks, insists the sudden increase of spam "book marketer" emails that started on the date of my original booking is a coincidence. As to the unsatisfactory results, she offered to rebook that same book for a 2/9/26 romance specific promo and assured me I'd see better results. It's 2/11/26, and I've had zero sales on that book. For reference, another promo earlier this month, same book, same 99¢ price, resulted in over 100 sales. In addition, Shubhi has not answered my email from 2/9 asking what happened. So once again, I'm a very dissatisfied customer and would advise authors to think twice before paying CraveBooks for any so-called promo.

Shubhi was very good at explaining everything to me. She helped me to see what I needed to change and how I can post my books more effectively on the Cravebook site. She was excellent

CraveBooks delivers results, and provides excellent support and assistance. They're a real breath of fresh air.

Working with CraveBooks, and Shubhi, is a breath of fresh air in the book promotion space. Not only do they get great results, but their service levels are outstanding. I could not recommend them highly enough.
