Solid performance
Bit pricey, but have always had a reasonable number of sales. I usually wait for a discount code.

Underwhelming but more testing needed
I'll give this 4 stars just because I've only run this newsletter 2 or 3 times but the results never stood out among others like Bookbarbairan, FussyLibrarian or Bargainbooksy

Not impressed
I didn't see real results the time I tried them. For the price, it wasn't worth it for me. I tried women's fiction, so other genres might perform better.

Not great
I paid extra for a top position in the ad. Although I did get some sales, it was somewhat underwhelming. I will pass on this one next time. It was a waste of money.

Seems good
I'll start out saying it's been a while since I used them, and when I did they weren't the only one I had booked for the day. That said, the days I had them booked were either my best or one of the top days, so I'm willing to say they at least had a hand in it. This was for my steamy PNR, and I've used them for both free and 99c with equal results.

Not terrible
Probably the only advertiser where you don't get to see your ad unless you accept an email with 50 books. If you nominate say 12 and your book is a thriller or a romance novel you're unlikely to see it. Dreadful policy and enough to make me cautious about using them.

Not Worth It
For my free historical fiction book, I didn't get great results with this service. I was pretty unhappy considering the amount of money I paid. I'd stay away from them unless you have a large budget looking to spend. It could be that I got unlucky. Also, the results weren't non-existent, just, I've had much better results with different sites, so this one isn't worth it for me.

Ribbons of Death
Tried them way back. Not worth the money. Also I tend not to believe they have a list the size they say they have. And if they do, it's not a list of readers either. This kind of money - there are better sites to promote at, and you can do two or three sites, instead of this money-gobbler.

Consider for second tier promos
I see results--maybe 5-10 $.099 priced book sales. Fairly average for second tier. Also, currently Kindle Nation Daily has a "slideover" policy where you can add Book Gorilla if you promote with Kindle Nation Daily.
