I requested this book solely on the author and did not regret it. Lisa Jewell is an auto-read author for me. I like Marvel movies but have never read the comics or paid close attention to the Marvel universe. After reading Breaking the Dark, I’m interested in more!

Breaking the Dark is a Marvel meets Black Mirror story highlighting social media and unattainable images. It questions what really makes someone happy. I was entertained from start to finish.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read an e-galley in exchange for an honest review.

I realized I hadn't provided feedback.. Lisa is an "auto buy" author for me and quite frequently a selection for my local book club. I wouldn't say this was a fave of mine but it still packs a punch

I tried multiple times to pick up this book and finish. It’s a DNF for me. I’m a big Marvel Fan. I’ve watched the Jessica Jones series. So I felt it was down my line of interest. I did read more than a few Lisa Jewell books so I thought this book would be for me but it didn’t catch my interest as I thought it would.

I am a huge marvel fan and when I found out one of my favorite authors had a marvel book, I was thrilled.
I had seen the show before reading so the book wasn’t as exciting for me. I ended up DNF’ing it at about 20%.
Still love marvel and still love Lisa, just wasn’t it for me.

I really enjoyed this book and the mystery Jessica has to solve. As someone who hasn't seen Jessica Jones show (yet) this book was fairy easy to get into the world and mindset of what is going on. Loved the twists and hope there is another on the way!

Typically, I love everything 'Lisa Jewell' posts. I've joked before that my Goodreads is a Jewell fan account. However, this one just wasn't up to par with her others for me. I will say, I'm not much of a Marvel gal, so I just might not be the target audience here.

I'll read anything Lisa Jewell!! Mix the queen of thrillers and Marvel you have a great story!

I appreciate the ARC!!

I am a fan of Lisa Jewell and this one wasnt my favorite. I am not really a Marvel or fantasy type person. I might continue the next book if the series continues

The pacing is quick, the secrets run deep, and it leaves you needing the next book ASAP.
Perfect if you like marvel & strong characters and a few jaw-dropping twists.

This just wasn’t it for me. I typically enjoy Lisa Jewell! She’s a great thriller writer. So I had to snag this ARC. But this fell short. I DNF’d at 36%.
I’m not a marvel fan which probably didn’t help me. Not only that but I felt like it jumped around and I thought one thing was going on then something else was. I just really didn’t connect.

I think I’m just not the best audience for this one!

Thank you to netgalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review!

I would like to start off by thanking netgalley for the arc of this book.

I officially love everything that Lisa Jewell writes. I was a little suspicious of liking this because I do not know much about Marvel or the Marvel Universe, and Jewell made it so that I didn't need to know any of Marvel's history to enjoy Jessica Jones.

When Jessica wakes up completely hungover, all she wants to do is nurse that hangover instead of working, although when a distraught mother comes in claiming that her twins have different personalities after coming home from a trip with their father in the UK. Something strikes a cord with Jessica so she travels to an isolated town in England to try and figure out what happened to Amber Randalls twins.

Following Jessica Jones' internal struggles with knowing nothing is perfect and trying to figure out what is going on with these twins Jewell introduces a new side to her writing and to the marvel universe. I absolutely loved this book and would 10/10 recommend to every person who enjoys not only marvel but Jewell's writing as well.

This book isn't for everyone. I am a HUGE Marvel fan and also a Lisa Jewell fan.
The first third of the book was kinda hard to get through, I would have rated that part a 2 star. It got much better. I really enjoyed this one..if you are a Marvel fan, specially Jessica Jones and Luke Cage...pick this one up!

Lisa Jewell is a bit hit or miss for me. While I haven’t truly loved any of her books, I still find myself coming back to her work—I’m not entirely sure why. With Breaking The Dark, my feelings are mixed. I didn’t realize it was a Marvel tie-in, and if I had, I might have skipped it. I’m not usually drawn to stories involving superpowers or a lot of action, though I do enjoy some fantasy now and then.

The story started off slowly, but it managed to hook me with its intriguing premise. I found it refreshingly different from other fantasy books I’ve read, and that uniqueness kept me engaged. The writing itself was decent, though some of the dialogue felt a bit forced or unnatural. Still, the book wasn’t bad overall. Jewell brought a creative angle to the story, and I appreciated that effort.

If you're a fan of Marvel stories, there's a good chance you'll enjoy this one. But if you're picking it up because you're a longtime Jewell reader, be aware that it’s quite different from her usual style.

I requested this book knowing full well I am NOT a Marvel person. But I am a Lisa Jewell person.

The first quarter of this book, I struggled to connect with it and had in my mind I’m not into fantasy/super hero theme. Once I got over that and saw the book for what it was, I loved it.

As LJ usual, it was very unique. Her loyal readers might have a hard time getting into this new style of hers but I’ll say, I had a great time reading it.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to review this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

One of my favorite authors is writing a Marvel novel ... I was intrigued and excited...but this fell flat for me. Maybe it is because I was not into the supernatural aspects.

Absolutely love me a good thriller! And this cover is perfect. I love a good, quick read in the summer time that keeps me on the edge of my seat! Love me some Lisa Jewell.

I requested this book because it was Lisa Jewell. But it was not for me. I found it hard to follow and get into. I won't requesrt or purchase the rest of the series

A thrilling addition to the Marvel universe, focusing on Jessica Jones' gritty investigations. Jewell blends superhero elements with crime fiction seamlessly. A captivating read for both Marvel fans and crime novel enthusiasts.

This is really a 3.5 ⭐ book for me. I love both Lisa Jewell and Jessica Jones.
Of course, the writing flowed well, but something felt amiss.
Maybe it's because I watched the Jessica Jones Netflix series so I already had an idea of what/who she is.
This is a story about a crime fighting lady who is intrigued enough by a potential paranormal job that she actually takes it.
Amber Randall comes in to Jessica's office claiming that something isn't right with her children after a visit with their dad in the UK. She basically insinuates that her children have been replaced with fake versions.

Seems crazy, right? Well Buckle up because the ride this story takes you on is insane and dark!

If supernatural is your thing, pick it up for yourself and see what it's all about!

In this different type of book, Lisa Jewell introduces us to Jessica Jones: Retired super hero, private investigator, loner. She avoids the crime fighting life that she once lived to have a quiet life working on surviving day-to-day in Hell’s Kitchen, New York.

Amber, a distraught mother who comes to Jessica's office is adamant that something happened to her teenage twins while they were visiting their father in the UK. The twins don’t act like themselves, and they now have perfect skin and keep talking about a girl named Belle. Amber insists her children have been replaced by something horrible.

Traveling to a small village in the British countryside, Jessica meets the mysterious Belle, who lives a curiously isolated life in an old farmhouse with a strange woman who claims to be her guardian. Why does the strange little village of Barton Wallop seem to harbor mysteries in its community?

Jessica knows that nothing in life is perfect—not these kids, not her relationship with Luke Cage, and certainly not Jessica herself. I am not a Marvel fan so this book was not my favorite.
