Dark nights are closing in, Halloween is on the way (hooray!) and we’re in the mood for a deliciously dark, gorgeously gripping read… luckily our November book has all the goods.
Shhhh! Don’t tell a soul… our November theme is Secret Societies and will delve deep into the realms of dark academia to unveil some of fiction’s most mysterious undercover clubs! Book Box Club members be warned – not all bookish gangs are as sweet and lovely as your BBC buddies!
About the Book: Our November read is set in an elite English boarding school, full of glossy, privileged pupils, stately grounds and ancient traditions.
When the body of a much-loved student is washed ashore at a summer party – marked with an elaborate tattoo – the school is gripped by grief and mystery. As rumours spread about what happened to this golden girl, two mismatched roommates become entangled in her strange and terrible story. And it soon becomes clear – beneath the serene surface of their prestigious school – a dangerous secret lurks!
With its grandiose setting, twisty plot and cast of enigmatic characters, this novel has some serious dark academia vibes. Fans of One of is Lying, Pretty Little Liars and The Secret History will adore this book!
Brought to you by a dynamic writing duo (one of whom is a former Book Box Club author and the other a big YA star!) this stunning hardback is the first in an explosive new series. As ever, our featured read will arrive beautifully gift-wrapped and will be accompanied by a bookplate signed by both authors.
There will be Goodies! Our November box will be crammed with goodies inspired by some of fiction’s most clandestine gangs! We’ve got our own secret society of brilliant makers lined up to create brilliant bespoke items especially for our November members. Standby for a supplier reveal soon!
There will be an exclusive author book group: November members will be invited to join us for a virtual book group in the home of our very own secret society – our online Clubhouse! Here, you’ll get the chance to chat with the authors of our featured read, ask your questions about this month’s book (or pretty much anything else) and make new unashamedly bookish friends! Just remember, no cloaks, daggers or dastardly deeds are permitted in the Clubhouse!
Or opt for Purely Books: If you love the idea of a brilliant new read and membership to an exclusive author book group, but bookish extras aren’t your thing, you can still join in the fun.
