I was excited to discover this book club kit. I am a big fan of the Marvel show, Jessica Jones.
-The author interview is enjoyable for readers. Especially for Marvel fans to hear how it is working on novel-writing with a Marvel influence.
-The discussion questions are open-ended, thoughtful, and some are fun such as "Which super power would you have and why?"
-The printable bookmarks are aesthetically pleasing.
-"Food is one of the most exciting parts of a book club meeting and it's always more fun when it's inspired by the book." 100% agree with this and this book club kit makes it so easy to provide themed-food and drink!
-The activity ideas were fun and themed-appropriately and great suggestions for recommended books!

This is the perfect guide! This book is not a lighthearted book, but you can make the discussion easier and fun with this guide. The activities are a fun little add on. I loved the interview. Also seeing all her books in one place is so helpful!

The book club kit was fantastic! My book club and I loved the suggested read-along. Playing the mystery game included in the kit was a highlight—we had the best time ever! I adored this kit and can't wait to get my hands on more.

Thankyou for the publisher and NetGalley for this book club. It's an exciting kit with an author interview, discussion questions that made reflect on the book and other resources! The enrichment to the reading experience was amazing! This is great resource for book clubs! I look forward to utilizing these in the future!

As a Marvel fan, I thought this kit was fantastic! It showed great attention to detail and included some really fun activity suggestions for after reading.
One of the bookmarks ended up being my favorite, and I know I’ll keep using it.
Also, major kudos for the interview with the author!

Another fab download.
I liked how this one was very much connected to the book- the various recipes worked very well with the story.

Very helpful for facilitating discussion. A wide range of opinions & thoughts on this book so the guide was most helpful.

Our book clubs would happily use resources like this one to increase engagement and facilitate discussion. People who enjoyed the book will find the extras appealing, and curated discussion questions are always welcome.
Thank you for the ARC. This gave me some ideas of what to do for our book club kits at the library.

I haven’t read the actual book yet, but I loved the Jessica Jones tv series, so didn’t mind reading this even if it contained some spoilers for me. I feel like this would make a great addition to any book club - I definitely want to pick up and read the book, now. From recipes to puzzles to theme suggestions for the food and themes for book club, and free printable bookmarks, this is an awesome little kit I think any book club member reading the book would love.

We went with a different book. We went with a different book. We went with a different book. We went with a different book. We went with a different book.

This Book club kit is great fun recipes, future reading recommendations, and author interview questions. Discussion questions, printsble bookmarks , activity ideas and a word search Highly recommend!

A fantastic resource. I especially enjoyed the author interview - I've always wanted to get into Lisa's mind and discover her process! :) The discussion points were relevant and prompted thoughtful discussion, and the printable bookmarks are a lovely touch! Thank you so much x

Thank you for sending this out. It helps when wanting to read and discuss with others about the book.

Following NetGalley's typical high-quality work, the book club kit for Breaking the Dark is a fantastic resource for readers looking to run an engaging and memorable discussion. The kit includes elements to help with running the actual book club like discussion questions to keep the conversation flowing, an author interview to provide context to the artist and the work, and activities to keep the fun going once the discussion is over. If you want to plan your next read right away, the "What to read next" section is a great conversation starter to help your group make a decision quickly (and get it on the calendar!).
As always with these kits, there are also resources to help bring the book club to life by imbuing more of the book's world and feel into your discussion like snack recipes, drink recipes, and printable bookmarks to pass out to participants.
Thank you to NetGalley for consistently putting out high-quality kits to help readers share their excitement with their friends!

I almost skipped this book when I saw it involved a superhero and had Marvel in the series title. I am not a big fantasy reader. But since I’ve enjoyed Lisa Jewell’s other novels, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and give it a try. I’m so glad I did! While it wasn’t my favorite of hers, there’s just something about Lisa Jewell’s writing that always pulls me in. This is the first installment in the new Marvel Crime series, and despite my initial hesitation, I’m actually looking forward to reading the next one when it comes out.

Breaking the Dark introduces Jessica Jones, a retired superhero turned private investigator, who is drawn into a mysterious case involving two teenagers displaying unnervingly perfect behavior after a summer in the UK. Their mother, Amber, believes her children have been replaced by something sinister. Jessica’s investigation leads her to the secluded village of Barton Wallop, where she encounters Belle, a peculiar girl with a hidden agenda. As Jessica delves deeper, she uncovers dark secrets that challenge her perceptions of reality.
I enjoyed this book and would recommend.
Thank you NetGalley

I didnt realise this was a book club print out kit.
Unfortunately I am not part of book clubs
Although every other lisa jewel i have read has been 5*****

I love this information packet. Good way to start conversations about the book. Brought alot of insight and questions i would not have thought of.

A fantastic edition to any book club! I wish it had included the story but that was my bad for not paying enough attention. Lisa Jewell is a one click author for me!
