Hi, Rebecca,

I know we are already talking about this and you mentioned that you thought this was a private feedback form to get help rather than a public review place, so if you can remove this TrustPilot review that would be great.


Thank you,
Scott

I absolutely love to read and then talk about the books I have read. This company is a fantastic way to read some amazing books and get paid to review them. Got paid directly to my PayPal, which was fast and easy. I recommend this to all the book lovers out there.

Detailed feedback from high quality readers. The feedback was valuable to help me to strengthen my story, as well as the exposure it gave the novel. I would highly recommend onlinebookclub for review of your book before publishing.

I received the following email on the 16th May 2026:

"WARNING: You were given a book in exchange for a review. These are not regularly free books. Someone is paying for the cost of the book to enable you to get a free copy *in exchange for* a review.

I've been left with a number of questions....

1) Who is Onlinebookclub? Before this email I'd never heard of them.

2) I've never heard of a book called Will of The Hill and I certainly don't have a copy.

3) Who is Marshall Cobb? I've never heard of them

4) How on earth did I get signed up to a website I'd never heard of or acquire a book I've never heard of by an author I don't know?

5) Why am I getting emails like above about something I know nothing about.

Frankly if Onlinebookclub have sent someone a book then they need to contact whomever they sent it to via the address they sent it too and not send random emails out like above... I can guarantee it's not my address they sent a book to.

La Crêpe: A sprinkle of Magic, A Book of the Day celebration

La Crêpe: A Sprinkle of Magic was my third book to be featured as the Book of the Day (previous books on 04/2021 and 07/2023), and I was absolutely thrilled by the exceptional quality of its presentation. Every detail was meticulously crafted—from a dedicated mention of my website to the inclusion of a delightful short video and the posting of the announcement to different digital platforms. The saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words,” came to life as Nisha Dsouza masterfully blended the book’s vibrant front cover with its most captivating story elements. The result was not only visually stunning but also instrumental in propelling the book to its highest achievement yet: reaching #1 best seller in its category on Amazon for two and a half days.
I am deeply grateful to Scott Hughes, the Online Book Club staff, and all the passionate readers whose enthusiasm and support made this milestone possible.

Overly Satisfied!

I have paid for several services to help bring attention to my books, but this is the first one that delivered the goods!! great communication, web site is a little hard to navigate when you are an older person but once you get a hang of it it's all good. I got dozens of "want to read" reviews - and a handful of REALLY GOOD reviews that you can 100% tell the ARC copy was read! I am overly satisfied

Sleep with the Holy Ghost

Sleep with the Holy Ghost
I’m fairly useless with laptops, smart phones and all kinds of internet matters; I write everything with a pencil on school sheets and then type with one finger using my ancient MacBook Air. As for posting stuff on social media… OMG as they say nowadays! I’m 82.
So, I want to thank Onlinebookclub.org, and especially Nisha D’Souza and Sarah Creely for all their patience and willingness to help me promote my book; without their help I simply would never have had the skills to get my book on as BOTD.
Thank you so much.
