There are 12 novels included, and all for the price of a single one. This isn't one of those sample chapters from several books, these are full books. I haven't gotten through all of them yet, but I have a few, and have been very happy so far. I purchased it because I have read books from a few of the authors, and am excited to try out new ones. I love Jillian Dodd's Keatyn Chronicles, and was very happy to get That Boy for less than the single book would cost.
