Breaking the Dark

"“Fresh, lively, insightful—from page one, Lisa’s take on Jessica owned me. Astonishing. The voice and dialogue are wry with a whiff of hard-boiled. The action scenes hit like a chop. Honest, earnest, and a really cracking story.”  —AJ Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window ""Breaking the Dark is a novel that reveals the depth and complexity of one of the most fascinating and indomitable characters in the Marvel canon. Lisa Jewell has found secret reservoirs of strength and perseverance in Jessica Jones that only a writer of her skill could articulate.” —S. A. Cosby, New York Times bestselling author of All the Sinners Bleed ""Absolutely perfect."" —Booklist “I was hooked from the start and couldn't turn the pages fast enough. Original, clever and cinematic.” —Alice Feeney, New York Times bestselling author of Rock Paper Scissors ""Breaking The Dark is Jewell at the height of her powers: the pace doesn’t let up, the characters never once slip. I actually know nothing about the Marvel universe, but I was utterly beguiled by Jessica’s investigation into a pair of mysterious adolescents. Lisa Jewell writes excellent teenagers, and here she has levelled up, with supernatural teenagers. Tricksy, endlessly interesting and pure entertainment, don’t miss this one."" —Gillian McAllister, New York Times bestselling author of Wrong Place Wrong Time “Fast-paced, addictive and SO. MUCH. FUN. Will delight Lisa's existing fans and attract a legion of new ones.” —Tamar Cohen, bestselling author of When She Was Bad ""A classic Lisa Jewell with an amazing supernatural twist!""  —Jenny Colgan, New York Times bestselling author of The Bookshop on the Corner"
