July Book of the Month Review and Coupon

I've always been an avid reader, so Book of the Month is one of my favorite subscriptions! This month I chose a thriller as my book selection.

*Disclaimer: This box was purchased by See, Shop, Love! Post contains referral links.

Book of the Month features five selections each month, hand-picked by a panel of judges. It costs $14.99 per month and you can choose to add-on as many books as you want for $9.99 each. This is a great price for a brand new hardcover book!

If you're not keen on any of the selections that month you can choose to skip and your credit will carry over. Note that you'll still be charged -- usually I get charged a few days before the end of the month and then my credit is ready for selection time on the first of the following month.

Lock Every Door by Riley Sanger immediately stood out to me among the July selections. I love a good thriller, and this one sounded very good. I'm only about one third of the way through currently but it's definitely a page-turner! Here's the synopsis from Amazon:

No visitors. No nights spent away from the apartment. No disturbing the other residents, all of whom are rich or famous or both. These are the only rules for Jules Larsen’s new job as an apartment sitter at the Bartholomew, one of Manhattan's most high-profile and mysterious buildings. Recently heartbroken and just plain broke, Jules is taken in by the splendor of her surroundings and accepts the terms, ready to leave her past life behind.

As she gets to know the residents and staff of the Bartholomew, Jules finds herself drawn to fellow apartment sitter Ingrid, who comfortingly reminds her of the sister she lost eight years ago. When Ingrid confides that the Bartholomew is not what it seems and the dark history hidden beneath its gleaming facade is starting to frighten her, Jules brushes it off as a harmless ghost story...until the next day, when Ingrid disappears.

Searching for the truth about Ingrid’s disappearance, Jules digs deeper into the Bartholomew's sordid past and into the secrets kept within its walls. What she discovers pits Jules against the clock as she races to unmask a killer, expose the building’s hidden past, and escape the Bartholomew before her temporary status becomes permanent.

I look forward to selection time for Book of the Month each month; it reminds me of when I was a kid and the Scholastic Book Fair would roll around. The BoTM staff and judges do a great job of selecting up-and-coming authors and exciting titles.
