Free books. What could possibly go wrong?
Laura Bell knows better than to climb into a stranger’s truck.
She also knows better than to trust random Facebook posts, follow suspicious men, or investigate missing women on her own.
Unfortunately, the truck is full of free books.
And one of them is a special edition she’s been dying to own.
What begins as an irresistible book giveaway takes a terrifying turn when Laura discovers a photograph hidden inside one of the books...a photograph of a woman who has been missing for months.
Then another reader disappears.
The deeper Laura digs, the stranger the pattern becomes. Free book giveaways. Missing women. Carefully chosen novels. Numbers. Genres. And a man calling himself Joshua Tree who seems increasingly interested in Laura’s reading habits.
Soon, books begin appearing at her house.
Books she wants.
Books she loves.
Books chosen specifically for her.
And Laura begins to realize she may not be investigating the collection anymore.
She may already be part of it.
Darkly funny, twisty, and dangerously relatable to anyone who has ever risked their dignity for a free book, Free Books is a psychological thriller about the things readers will do for stories and what happens when someone learns to use that love against them.

Creepy but in a good way
This will make you question ever going to a free book giveaway. Also is there a part 2 ? please, please tell me there's a part 2.

Listening to the AI narrator drove me a bit crazy. All of the mispronunciations and SamAHntha 🙄. I was super intrigued right off the bat but the dumb ass FMC was killing me by the end. Seriously make things at least a little plausible and I'm yours forever but this was bonkers.

Fun quick read
I really enjoyed this book! Saw it recommended in a book group and was delighted to see it on Kindle unlimited. I found it to be amusing and stayed up too late finishing it.

Quite repetitive, short sentences, double spacing, all made it a quick read, but it was still catchy. I would rate 3.5. I would have liked a more complete ending.
