I didn’t read this properly and thought it was the actual book. However such a clever idea I love the thought of these, the content was good and interesting. The activities with the book were very co ordinated and well thought out. They match the books style perfectly.

This is an excellent book club kit for Breaking the Dark! I appreciated the thoughtful content warnings as well as the link to Storygraph where readers submitted additional warnings. Hearing the author's perspective in Lisa Jewell's interview was interesting. In particular, I liked reading what it was like to write for Marvel. I'd love to know more about how much of her own voice vs. Marvel's was allowed to be in the book and how she balanced that.

I realize the colors of the book are black and purple, but I don't think the discussion questions on pages 7 and 8 should have had that dark background. If you're in a book club, like me, you probably like to print the questions to bring to the group. I'd be hesitant to print these, but a lighter background wouldn't waste so much ink.

I loved the links to the recipes, especially the black and white cookies and the mango smoothie, which I can't wait to try! The activities seem really fun too, and I will definitely try some. I also appreciated the book recommendations, though there didn't have to be so many. The only other thing I'd have liked to see would be a playlist based on the novel.

I personally could do without the bookmark and the word search. I feel like the bookmark isn't going to be of much use unless you happen to own a laminator, which I actually do, but I didn't want to waste the ink and have plenty of bookmarks already. I could find a word search anywhere, and I would buy this book club kit for everything above, not a word search. Plus, I think less can be more: 22 pages is a bit long. If someone is flipping through this at a bookstore or online, you want them to notice the best parts.

This book club kit is very detailed and has great discussion prompts and questions to get you thinking more about the book!

I didn’t realize what a kit was until I received it! Really cool concept with book recommendations and descriptions for each one. Printable crosswords and book marks. Really cool idea in my opinion.

Thank you Netgalley for the Book Club Kit. I loved the questions, and activities. It was very helpful, and I loved the short interview with Lisa.

Great kit for a book club! Brilliant amount of questions and activities. Particularly like the short interview with Lisa Jewell and also the recommendations on what to read next. Thanks netgalley!

I love all of Lisa’s books and this one was good. It kept me on edge. I loved all the characters, and the Jessica Jones story made it worth reading. The plot of the story was like a mystery but a Marvel with a more intense storyline. Since I love Marvels and I am a fan of comics I found the story to be a great read.

Thanks, NetGalley and Hyperion Avenue Publishers for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.

So interesting to read a book with a reading guide especially to discuss it with your friends afterwards

Love this Kit! It has the perfect amount of information and fun activities and printouts for members to do, from thoughtful question to think about when reading, to activities that keep the information fresh in your mind as you read the book or just a s a refresher afterwards!

I like the book club kit. I enjoyed the games. I need to read the book still. This will be helpful for when I read the book.

First off, the design is really nice and easy to read; everything’s nicely structured.

At the beginning, there are content warnings, which is a huge plus for readers.

There’s also an interview with the author. Then, there are a few discussion questions for the group to think about as they read. Plus, there are two questions straight from the author, which is another cool bonus.

I was also surprised to find some printed bookmarks included—what a nice touch! And there are links to a few snack and drink recipes!

There are several activities related to the book, so group members can really get into the vibe! Plus, there’s a word search included. There’s also a “what to read next” list with upcoming titles in the Marvel Crime series, along with more books by Lisa Jewell and from Hyperion Avenue to help decide what to dive into next.

When the time comes and we read this book, this will be so very helpful in assisting with questions and additional resources. Although NetGalley had not provided the book, it will be on a list to read.

This kit, designed to assist book club members with their discussions of Lisa Jewell’s book “Breaking the Dark” has several elements.

Up front, a Note to Readers that highlights possible trigger events readers will find in the story.

First, an author interview where several questions that are likely to be asked by book club members are addressed.

Next are several questions for discussion as the group reads the book. Two questions from the author are also included.

Following these questions, a treat for readers. Printable bookmarks are included in the kit.

For clubs that include snacks in their meetings, there are links several recipes for munchies and drinks.

Several activities related to the book are included so that members of the group can channel the mystery and thriller energy of the book.

What to Read Next, Next in the Marvel Crime Series, and About the Author provide some food for thought. Then, more Lisa Jewell books and Hyperion Avenue books help the group to decide what to read next.

This kit brings together most of the elements book club members would expect to find in support of their reading and discussions. Both the bookmarks and the word puzzle were unexpected extras that made the kit special. Book club members are sure to appreciate this special kit as they read this intriguing tale.
