You would think Amazon, of all companies, could rustle up a simple list of which authors you can read for free on Kindle Unlimited. This is a firm that lands a parcel on your doorstep before you’ve fully decided you wanted it, yet finding a specific author inside their own subscription service feels like hunting for a contact lens in a ball pit.
So let me save you the rummaging. Yes: every one of my twenty novels sits in Kindle Unlimited, free to read with your subscription, in ebook form, with paperback and audiobook editions for anyone who’d rather own them. You’ll find the lot on my books page. And if you’ll indulge me for two minutes, I’ll also hand you ten more titles worth the monthly fee.
What sort of books am I luring you towards?
Loosely, I write what people call low fantasy. I take an ordinary person plodding through an ordinary life, then drop something impossible on their head: a weekend back in 1986, a mysterious stranger in a brown suit, a birthday wish that comes true and then quietly posts the invoice. The premise does the heavy lifting; the characters carry everything else. Five of my novels involve time travel, though none of the sort with flux capacitors and a whiteboard of paradoxes. Just a bloke trying to mend his life, usually breaking it further before the final chapter.
There’s a recurring face across my books, too: a double-denim fixer named Clement who cheerfully insists he died in 1975 and keeps turning up in people’s lives as a kind of penance. He has cousins. A bald little man dispensing unorthodox therapy. A chap in a brown suit with an impossible bombshell. If a stranger appears at someone’s lowest moment in one of my novels, brace yourself. Newcomers usually ask where to begin, so I keep a which book first guide for exactly that.
Ten books worth your Kindle Unlimited subscription
All ten below carry the Kindle Unlimited badge as I write this, which is to say you can read them for nothing beyond your monthly fee. Amazon does shuffle titles in and out of the service, so the price beside the cover remains the final word. I’ve planted my own flag at number one, because it’s my house and I’ll do as I please.
- The ’86 Fix by Keith A Pearson. My own offering, and the obvious place to start. Craig Pelling, trapped in a loveless marriage and a dead-end job managing an electrical store, lands one weekend back in 1986 to unpick the decision he blames for all of it. Texan Bars and regret, in roughly equal measure.
- The Housemaid by Freida McFadden. The psychological thriller your entire street has already finished. A live-in housemaid, a household with the emotional stability of a deckchair, and the twist nobody will shut up about. Seven hundred thousand ratings cannot all be mistaken.
- Haunting Adeline by H.D. Carlton. Dark romance, and I do mean dark. Wildly popular, deeply unsettling, and absolutely not the book to leave open on the worktop when your mother pops round for a brew. Consider yourself warned.
- Zodiac Academy: The Awakening by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti. Twin sisters discover they’re fae and enrol at a magical academy populated almost entirely by impossibly broody heirs. Comfortably past a hundred thousand readers are now nine books deep and showing no signs of stopping.
- Holy Island by L.J. Ross. The first DCI Ryan mystery: a body, a windswept Northumberland island, and a detective who never once manages a quiet weekend. Think Scandi noir relocated to the north-east, minus the knitwear budget.
- Daughter of No Worlds by Carissa Broadbent. Romantasy with a spine. A young woman claws her way out of a brutal past, a war needs winning, and a suitably brooding mentor turns up bang on cue. Tremendously moreish.
- Blood & Steel by Helen Scheuerer. A woman fights her way into a brotherhood of warriors who’d really rather she didn’t. Epic romantic fantasy for readers who like their swords and their yearning supplied in equal quantity.
- You, Me, Her by Sue Watson. A psychological thriller that delivers a fresh gut-punch roughly every chapter. Watson has written more of these than I’ve had hot dinners, and she remains frighteningly good at the job.
- Need a Little Time by Adam Eccles. Eccles, by his own cheerful description a cynical tech nerd, writes the warm, daft British comedy I have a soft spot for. This one is his most-loved, and his entire back catalogue sits in Kindle Unlimited, so there’s no rationing once he hooks you.
- Court of Shadows by C.N. Crawford. Fae, shadows, and a heroine sitting on a secret. Comfort food for anyone who finished the romantasy higher up this list and felt suddenly, terribly bereft.
The bit the marketing never mentions
Kindle Unlimited’s real gift isn’t the arithmetic, though the arithmetic stacks up neatly enough once you read more than a couple of books a month. The gift is permission to gamble. For the cost of two posh coffees you can take a punt on an author you’ve never heard of, decide three chapters in that they’re not for you, and wander off with no harm done and no guilt nagging at you. Twenty years ago, chancing your arm on an unknown writer meant £7.99 and a stern internal word with yourself at the till. Now it costs an evening and nothing else.
Which, I’ll admit selfishly, suits someone like me rather well. I’m self-published through my own little imprint, with no marketing department and no friends in high places, so Kindle Unlimited is frequently how a reader trips over my books in the first place.
If any of the above leaves you in the mood for an ordinary life gatecrashed by the impossible, three of mine to try. The ’86 Fix, where Craig lands his weekend in 1986 and promptly makes everything worse. A Page in Your Diary, in which a man travels back to 1988 to save the first love his younger self quietly wrecked. And In Lieu of You, about a husband handed the chance to un-meet his wife, and the slow, sinking realisation that he might have wanted her all along. All free with your subscription. If you’re curious why everything I write lives only on Amazon, there’s a whole confession waiting for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Keith A Pearson’s books available on Kindle Unlimited?
Yes. All twenty of my novels are included in Kindle Unlimited and free to read with a subscription, in ebook form, alongside paperback and audiobook editions for anyone who’d rather buy. You’ll find every title on my books page.
How do I find authors on Kindle Unlimited?
Amazon offers no single directory of Kindle Unlimited authors, which is precisely why pages like this one exist. The simplest method is to search for a book or author in the Kindle Store and look for the “Available instantly” label beside the Kindle Unlimited logo, or a £0.00 price next to the cover. If that shows, the title is part of your subscription.
How much does Kindle Unlimited cost in the UK?
At the time of writing in June 2026, Kindle Unlimited costs £9.49 a month in the UK, usually with a free trial for new members. Amazon adjusts the figure from time to time, so check the current price before you sign up.
Do I need a Kindle device to use Kindle Unlimited?
No. You can read every Kindle Unlimited title on the free Kindle app for phones, tablets and computers, as well as on a Kindle e-reader. The device is optional; the app does the same job for nothing.
Is Kindle Unlimited worth it?
If you read more than a book or two a month, it usually pays for itself, particularly if you enjoy genre fiction and self-published authors, who fill the service generously. If you only read occasionally, or stick to big traditional releases that often sit outside Kindle Unlimited, buying individual titles may suit you better.
