  • Alpha’s Regret- My Luna Has A Son

    This book drew me in immediately, with the first mysterious chapter, to the quick timeline at the beginning. We jump through nine months of pregnancy and the experience of a lone wolf giving birth and making it on her own. So much fierce female energy, I was of course drawn right in. We start with women finding a way together in their struggles and then go through a page bending journey of them making their male mates understand their lives. It’s so soothing when the males in the story begin to understand and submit to the women they love. And just when you think that could be the whole story, they band together and fight a war, arm in arm, furthering the utmost respect for one another. There are male/female bonds but it is said that the bond between the women who’ve been there for each other when their male bonds were suppose to be, is a bond stronger than all else. You feel this portrayed in the story and are energized by it. Reading this book has made me feel stronger as a female. And not to mention...the whole werewolf/human sex scenes are gripping! There’s passionate human sex but then it gets to go deeper and fuller with the fact that they’re also werewolves and bonded to each other through the moon goddess. Hot!!

  • Love and hate it

    I love how many different stories there are that you can read part of. You get the first few chapters of the book free then have to use coins to unlock any further ones. You can easily earn 40 coins a day through the rewards, but it doesn’t get you very far. Depending on the book and length of the chapter it can be 15-45 coins per chapter and it only takes 3-5 minutes to finish a chapter. There are ways to earn more but takes more effort.

    Some of the writing is pretty horrible but some of it is really good. You have to be careful with the Auto Unlock feature because it will unlock the next chapter without you realizing it and before you get to the end of the current chapter. So it’s like you’re always paying for a chapter ahead. It took me forever to figure out how to turn it off for a book.

    They offer a reward for submitting a review. But only if it’s 5 stars. Which is why mine is purposely only 4. I do use this app everyday, and have spent real dollars on it, but it also really frustrates me. Once I’ve finished my coins I’ll probably make myself give it a break bc it is so frustrating. The chapters are just way too short.

  • Okay GoodNovel

    So I thought I submitted a review but I don’t see it so take 2.
    I have been on app for a while at least a year. I like it a lot. I love the books and the authors (even those that I have to wait to update) and I follow most of the authors on their socials. I guess the only issue I have with app is that it’s kinda expensive but not the most expensive reading app. I do wish we got more coins or bonuses also wish that the reading times bonus was a little better, like I can’t read 2 books to get the bonus, it has to stay in the book for that time frame or else it goes back to 0 and I have to start all over. Was upset that I read for over an hour and checked to claim the 45 minutes one and it said I read for 42 minutes and I had to start all over again probably because I received a notification a little before that.
    I also do wish that the chapters were set to one price per chapter (10-15 coins should be good) instead of it fluctuating with each chapter, I’m just glad author notes chapters are free since it has nothing to do with the story itself. Okay that is my review.

  • I enjoy the reading

    The first book that I have been reading is so intriguing to me. I feel that when I have to wait to read the next chapter because I don’t have enough coins I get frustrated, I like reading books of all kinds, but this one “the divorced billionaire” is a lot different than what I normally read. I only bought some coins once since I was sitting on the edge of my seat wanting to know what happened next rather than waiting to have enough coins. I think more coins should be offered in the rewards so that everyone who reads the books can enjoy them more. There are other books I would like to read but haven’t been able to since it is taking me so long to read this first one. I do understand why this made this way to receive coins, but I still feel like I should be able to read any book as fast or slow as I would like instead of waiting so long to get through one book. Thank you for having such a wide range and variety of books to read. I really do love reading and I am so happy that this app is available to be able to read such books.

  • An honest review

    I’ve been using this app for about 2 years now. Like all apps, it has its ups and downs. Let’s start with the cons of this app. The amount of coins they ask to unlock each chapter is quite a bit sometimes. 30 coins to unlock a chapter with 15 pages? Little much, BUT i do understand that the authors need to get paid so it makes sense. It can get pricey buying the coins to read the books. you could spend over $10 on coins and still not finish the book but like i stated above, the authors do need to get paid for their work. The only other con is the Auto Unlock chapter button. if you forget to turn it off, it will unlock the chapters without notice. Now the pros of the app. I love how they give you the opportunity to earn free bonus coins to unlock the chapters! They give you multiple tasks to complete and each tasks completed does give you bonus coins. This app gives you the most bonus coins out of any other reading app I’ve come across. I’ve even had a chance to unlock a chapter by watching an ad which was great and i didn’t need to use my coins. The books on this app are also super interesting! So many genres to pick from and the descriptions of each book are great as well! I’ve enjoyed this app over the years and i hope anyone reading this review will check it out!

  • Lost out on money and book kept freezing!!!

    I usually don’t leave reviews but I needed to warn others! It’s not cheap on this app to buy coins needed and the chapters to unlock require a lot of coins and after spending so much money it’s even more frustrating when the app constantly freezes or doesn’t load the story at all!!!!!! The worse parts, I was reading two stories and one story just froze!!! It would not load no matter what I tried to do! I know it had a lot more chapters available and I had plenty of coins to unlock the next chapters but nothing!!! The other story I was reading, figuring I would start another one and give that other story a day or something and see if it would load again, so anyway, I started having issues with my login and what not so I logged out and when I logged back in the story was gone from my library!!! When I searched for it again, I saw that it reset and locked all the chapters back up again!!!!! I wasted so much money on unlocking all those chapters and now they are gone!!! Both stories started over so I wasted over $40 on just two stories and now it was a waste!!!! Don’t waste your money or time on this app!!!! I was enjoying two stories in this app until all this craziness happened! I have all the receipts pricing that I purchased all these coins but yet when I check my wallet in the app is only shows 1 transaction!!!! I’m so mad and over this app!!!

  • Read before downloading!(and then don’t download)

    If you want to spend a lot of money on one book and have to wait over a year to get to the ending you are found your app…. Of course they reel you in by giving you some free chapters and then every chapter that goes on they charger points which point you can get by exchange of money and maybe by doing some login to get extra points but it definitely won’t last more than a few chapters…. Even with that I went ahead spent the money and one of the books I am most definitely a big fan of!
    And here’s where it gets really good… not only are the chapter small but they only released few chapters daily… so you could find yourself spending a couple hundred bucks on a book and they won’t let you even finish it… honestly I don’t think this is an honest way to do business… you won’t find in the app any bad reviews because they push them automatically to the bottom on every book I’ve posted a few days in a row my opinions… I scroll through The comments for over 30 minutes and got over four months back and still I haven’t found my reviews…

    Do yourself a favor find a different app with the same book that you’re interested in reading here.
    Will save you a lot of time money and heartache!!!!

  • What a joke.

    I wanted to read one novel. Started reading on Facebook, and decided to continue reading on the app. I don’t mind paying ten bucks for a good book, but the book I was reading had more than 200 chapters. I was on chapter 40 something, and that was ten bucks. No way am I paying fifty or more dollars for a book. Especially since these books are not all that good. I enjoyed the story, but the grammar, spelling, and punctuation were atrocious. I can overlook that as these authors are new, and this is an app for amateur writers, but their books are not yet worth the kind of money I’d need to shell out to read them. The app need to either give way more free coins per day, make the chapters cost less coins to unlock, or make the coins much much cheaper, or else this is just a complete rip off. I’ve read the response from the developer to some other commenters about this being a scam, and I just want to say that the developers keep saying they want to give us affordable books and that we are supporting the authors so they can write good books. First of all, the books are not affordable, nor are they good enough to justify the cost, and secondly, I don’t mind supporting a good author, but these books aren’t even well written! (The storyline was great, though!)

  • Absolute SCAM

    I must say - someone came up with a great way to scam unsuspecting people. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised since it was Facebook that brought me here. Innocently enough, it started with a Facebook post on my feed. I began reading what felt could be an interesting short story. Before I knew it, I was at Chapter 4 with no way to continue unless I downloaded this app. Seemed harmless enough so I did - and got to about Chapter 7 where it insisted I pay for coins to continue reading. Well at that point I was invested so I paid $5.99 for several hundred coins. NOWHERE did it state how many coins might be needed to complete the story nor did it provide any information on how many coins would be charged for every new chapter. Well, I blew through the hundreds of coins in about 40 minutes and about seven chapters with the story still nowhere near the end. At that point I decided to cut my losses and walk away. No way was I going to pay another $6 for more coins without disclosure of how many would be needed to finish the story! This was a complete scam. Amateur writers with no editors should not cost more than bestseller novels from a trusted book store. The story contained so many typographical errors - it was difficult to read. Learn the proper use of contractions and commas for goodness sake! Basic sentence structure, please.
    Avoid this scam at all costs - unless you have no better way to spend your time and money. Definite RIP-OFF!

  • I like it a bit

    I actually was reading a book off wattpad it was only 7 characters. Well it turned it out the hold book was on this app. So that sucked at first but when I saw that the hole coin thing it kinda frustrated me. I she tons of reviews of people saying that you have to pay 5$+ to read the books. But it actually is if you come back every day it gives you 20 coins just for joining that day. 5 for add a book to library. 15 minutes of reading 5 coins. And 30 minutes total reading 10 coins. Witch gives you 40 coins for the day. About good for two story’s. It a way to get you to come back to their app. I made 6 different accounts because I’m impatient. I had 3 google accounts. 1 Twitter. And 1 Facebook. And my apple account. So max I was on there for 2 hours a day. And I was fine with it I enjoyed it. People keep saying it’s a scam. That app is opening up a platform for writes to learn and grow. You can get a job there throw the app. I really enjoy the app I will continue to use it. The only thing I don’t like it that everyday without paying, you only get 40 coins, they should make it 100 coins equals out to 5 characters a day and some time only 2 “ if they are long like 30-40 pages in”. Four stars.
