I love reading IP books and Breaking the Dark by Lisa Jewell is no exception. The kit includes an author interview, discussion questions, and more. I loved this book so much that I dived into the book club kit to reflect on my reading experience! I loved the book and the kit so much! Definitely recommend it!

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.

Perfect companion for a book club!

Excellent supplemental promotional packet to coincide Lisa Jewell's Breaking the Dark - the first novel in the Marvel Crime thriller series for adults.

I read the book last summer upon it's release and mostly enjoyed it. The book club kit is a must for fans of the book and Lisa Jewell in general.

Beyond the book itself, the kit offers recommendations for future reads, including titles in the Marvel Crime Series, other Lisa Jewell books, and selections from Hyperion Avenue. This thoughtful addition makes it easy for book clubs to plan their next read.

Overall, this kit goes beyond the standard discussion guide, offering an engaging mix of activities, conversation starters, and extras that book club members are sure to enjoy.

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.

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.

Very grateful for the additional resources to incorporate into our book club discussions! It is often hard to find good discussion question and "extras" to make discussing the book both more fun and more enlightening!
