Right! It's so scammy to be charging writers for (probably) AI reviews! I have a new found love for BookSirens since this happened, simply because they vet their authors and ARC readers, and their reviews are by real people who actually read the book. The bar is in hell 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

Thank you! 😊

Well, they issued me a refund and deleted my account, but made no mention about any of my concerns or stopping their bot-like reviewers from posting, so I guess they're leaving it to me to report any that get posted. Scumbags. They are literally running an exploitative scam. I'm so pissed off 😠😂

So yeah, Booksprout sucks 😂 I’ve had a great experience with Booksirens. Yes, the reviews take a while, because people are vetted first and genuinely read and engage with the book. I’m shocked Booksprout are legally allowed to take authors' money to let bots post fake reviews for them… Disgusting.

Obviously, this is concerning. I don’t want bot-like reviews on my book pages! So I emailed them, and their response was appalling, so I emailed them again, asking them to remove my book and ensure these reviews don’t go live. I don’t know if they’ll actually do it, but 🤞 Emails below.

At first, it seemed great. I posted my book and had 9 takers very quickly. My book is LONG, but 24 hours later, I had a review already, which I thought was odd… THIS is the review…

🤣 I'm not sure if I'm cut out for guides, but I might make a video about this, because I looked everywhere, and as far as I could find there isn't anything about keeping Karlach and Wyll when taking the Grove. I was actually shocked when my weird idea worked out 😂

I stopped knocking her out ages ago and just kill her with good characters now, because you lose so much of her content and don't get the full Minty experience. I almost always take the grove with bad/morally grey characters, but I hate not having Karlach. Now I can keep her 🥰

I managed it with Adobe yesterday but it was a pain, so that's good to know for next time. Thank you! 😊

I'm almost tempted to just go crawling back to Amazon to sign up for KDP Select again 😅

Thank you!

I have no idea what became of her vampire lord boyfriend, he was nowhere to be seen. He was kind of an arse to her after turning her anyway 😂
