K-9 Confidential

Q: Do I have to buy the ebook to participate in a book club?

No, you don’t have to buy the ebook to participate, but we do recommend it to get the most out of your club. There are several premium social reading features that are only available when you buy the ebook, like annotations, reactions, comment threads, resources, discussion prompts, and more, all embedded right in the text. It’s a unique and immersive way to read.

Q: Why can’t I buy the ebook on the app?

It’s annoying, we know. App store rules prevent us from selling directly in the app, so for now you can only purchase ebooks on our website. Don’t worry: when you purchase an ebook on the web, it’s automatically added to your bookshelf in the app.

Q: How is Fable’s reader different from Kindle?

Kindle is a straightforward e-reader; Fable is an interactive e-reader that includes social features inside the ebooks. When you read an ebook on Fable, you can see and react to the text with others in real time. Start a discussion, share highlights and quotes, add emoji reactions—all of it lives right inside the book. It’s hard to explain and easy to see, so we recommend reading the free sample in one of our most active clubs to get a feel for it.

Q: Do you sell physical books too?

We do not sell physical books at this time. Wish we did? Let us know why here!

Q: Are book clubs free to join on Fable?

Most of our clubs are completely free to join. The only exceptions are clubs marked as “Premium” or “Career Development,” which do require a fee. You can find out more on each club’s detail page.

Q: How do I start a book club with this book on Fable?

The first step is to download the Fable app. From there, you’ll be able to create your own private or public book club and invite others to read with you. Once your club is created, click on the plus sign under “Currently reading” and search for this book to add it to your club.

“Another K9 Audio ARC. Okay, this was a first time author for me and to be fair, I am stepping in to this series at Book 5 (for those of you that know me....that is a huge pet peeve). Unfortunately, this book was just not for me. First of all, I am seriously beginning to understand that just because the book states that it in the K9 genre - that can mean MANY different things to different people. In this case, our K9 Zeus has an eating disorder- he is a binge eater, eating so much that he either ends up throwing up or dealing with an upset stomach. And his number one favorite trick/talent, is to jump on top of the bad guy. He is apparently over 100 pounds and when he lands on them, they are basically stuck. Not that there is anything necessarily wrong with that per se, but when I think of K9 police partners, this is not necessarily my first thought. Granted, he was a very sweet dog - but that wasn't even the real problem it was just unexpected. The plot of this book was ALL OVER THE PLACE and if you were to take two minutes to actually think things out, the plot holes in it just pull you right out of the story. There is also the dreaded insta-love or maybe it should be called RE-Insta-Love since apparently the two MC's had a relationship 10 years prior. Don't ask - the Homeland Secret Agent and the criminal CI apparently never stopped loving each other - even though our FMC disappeared and stayed "dead" for 10 years. Regardless, it did have good moments. The narration was done by Gwen Steeland was fine. Maybe if I had started with book one, things had been different Who knows? Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Audio for the opportunity to listen to and review this Audio ARC. This book will be out for publication on Apr 29, 2025.”

“K-9 Confidential Nichole Severn New Mexico Guard Dogs #5 Former Counterterrorism Agent Granger Morais now worked for Socorro Security when a blast from his past crosses with the local cartel. The cartel the security team are battling to rid from New Mexico. The cartel just keeps coming, violence and attack on repeat. Charlie Acker faked her death to escape a cult, she has been off-grid and on the run since. A fast paced intrigue with flames, bullets and an overweight dog. This book is part of a series but could be read as a stand-alone novel with hea. Great characters and a quick explosive plot keep the pages turning. I received an arc of this book. I know the overriding plot arc of this story is not done and I can’t wait for more. 4 stars”
