So calling an excerpt a bonus is a lie. There is no two ways about it.

If I am reading a book in a series, I don't need an excerpt from the next book as I'll either buy it or not based on what I've read so far of the series. The excerpt won't change my mind. The book(s) I've read will help me decide to continue the series or not.
um, a bonus is something additional that you did not originally pay for, given at no charge to you from whoever is selling or marketing the product.

if you don't like it, that's your own problem. it's not a lie. if the bonus is a hamster wheel, it's still a bonus whether you like hamsters or not.
