The best early Prime Day book deals at a glance:
It's nearly Amazon Prime Day, which officially runs from June 23 through 26, but if you don't feel like waiting, there's already plenty of live deals to shop.
Besides offering three free months of both Kindle Unlimited and Audible to new subscribers, Amazon also has some pretty great discounts on books themselves. I'm not usually one to recommend purchasing physical books via Amazon (support local book stores!), but it's pretty hard to pass up a 50% price drop on a book you've had on your TBR.
I'm tracking some of the best deals on physical books and e-books at Amazon ahead of the official Prime Day kick off, but remember to check back for more once things start ramping up.

Named one of the best books of 2026 so far by Amazon Book Editors, Crux is an "exhilarating, tender novel about an unlikely friendship forged through a shared love of rock climbing," according to Amazon Editor Abby Abell. Thanks to an on-page coupon at Amazon, you can add the hardcover version to your home library for less than half its usual cost.

Why we like it
A classic trope of two abducted girls, only one returns and one doesn't, The Girl Who Was Taken is a psychological thriller by Charlie Donlea where nothing is as it seems. Typically around $20, you can pick up the paperback version for only $7.50 at Amazon ahead of Prime Day. That's just a few cents away from its lowest price ever.

I highly recommend grabbing this twisty psychological thriller from internationally best-selling author Steve Cavanagh while the Kindle version is only $2.99. Kill For Me Kill For You follows two women seeking revenge against the men who killed their daughters. Over drinks one night, they decide to swap murders, but things don't go exactly as planned.
