This is why I download most of the limited-time free books in genres I read. Most of the time I don't even bother to read the blurb, especially books offered free by major publishers or print-based smaller publishers like Sourcebooks (which I think the Robin Kaye book is from Sourcebooks.)

I'll probably never read most of the free books I've downloaded. But once or twice I've downloaded a freebie and months later I'll see another book by the same author that sounds interesting. I'll read (or try to read) the freebie before deciding to buy the newer title.
