I love recommending books on Kindle Unlimited because it feels much more accessible. Not everyone has the means to buy multiple ebooks a month, and KU is such a cost-effective way to read! Keep an eye out for the sales during Prime Day, when you can get membership for $4.99/month (normally $9.99).
Here are 20 books on KU with a guaranteed happily ever after!
- Necessary Evils: Unhinged, Psycho, Moonstruck, Headcase, Madman
