This may have been the unexpected ARC thus far this year that I was the most excited to be approved for, and it LIVED UP! Lisa Jewell was the perfect choice for this one. She is masterful, and was able to piece this story together in a way that was so fun, with lots of little nods to my favorite fandom. Well done!

P.S. - My sister, the biggest Marvel geek EVER, is dying for this to come out! Thank you for the opportunity to get her even more hyped (and only rub it in her face a teeeeeeensy bit. Hey! It's fine! She's younger and has tormented me for years!)

To be honest, I requested this ARC because it was Lisa Jewell and completely missed the part where it said Marvel across the top haha. However, I didn’t hate it! It’s not like the other Lisa Jewell books I’ve read, that’s for sure. I know nothing about marvel, so I definitely went into this not having a clue what I was getting into. Jessica Jones has powers, however, like all other Women in the world, also has issues. I would definitely recommend this book to marvel fans who know more of a history of Jessica Jones. I did enjoy this book and now I sort of want to watch the TV series now!

Torn between 2.5 and 3.

I somehow missed the obvious marvel logo when requesting this ARC by Lisa Jewell… i like her thrillers and went for it. After realizing - and then accepting - it was in the marvel universe I actually liked it more than I expected. Are marvel novels a thing? Who knew that was a thing? Not me. It honestly works as a supernatural story if you don’t have any marvel/Jessica Jones context and I think that’s what got me into it. After that it was kind of page turner trying to connect the dots. I’m not sure if I’ll continue the series but I’ll definitely grab Jewell’s next thriller. Shoutout to NetGalley for the arc.

Thank you netgalley for the e-arc!
This wasn’t the usual Lisa Jewell classic we are all used to. But it was interesting and kept me interested well enough. It’s not my favorite book but you can’t really go wrong with Lisa and Marvel.

The story flowed well and the characters were well developed. I recommend this book and look forward to more from this author.


****Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an ARC in exchange for my honest review****

Thank you for the opportunity to preview Breaking the Dark. I typically do not read this type of book. Movies yes. TV yes. Books not so much.
I was taken in right away
This is a Jessica Jones storyline and she is an amazing character. Also Luke Cage and a solid plot
This novel tells the story in a parallel world and that’s what got me
Jessica is a flawed character and she finds herself in a job to find out how two teenagers go to see their dad overseas and come back two very different kids
In the meantime another story is in play that goes back over twenty years. How does this relate to the current situation. Jewell pulls it together masterfully

If you like these types of books and even if you don’t this is a well written book and I liked it a lot.
3.5 stars
